VISCOUNT GREY’S LETTER.

CAUSES PROFOUND IMPRESSION.

AMONGST REPUBLICAN RANKS. NEW YORK, Feb. 1. The ’l‘imes’s Washington correspondent states that a profound impression has been created by Viscount Grey’s letter in the London Times,’ inwhich he gives his impression of American sentiment concerning the League of Nations. There is a very strong belief here that before publishing the letter it was submitted to the British Foreign Ofiiec and members of the Cabinet. Republican Senators assert that ..the letter confirmed their convictions that England and France will be willing to accept the United ‘States, entrance in the League of Nations with Senator Lodge’s reservations. Democrats, although generally reticent, are inclined to believe the letter will become an important factor in breaking the present Treaty deadlock in the Senate. It is pointed out that the letter opens the way for President Wilson reachinga compromise with the republicans. ‘
