GOING IN FOR RESERVATIONS
Springfield Republican.
Senator Brandegee of Connecticut
offered, the reservation, and com
mittee members said the discussion
developed that even Senator Lodge
- - .-wvmw.iv.vuj ....v. V. II, III 1 b H IT
chairman and one of the American
seems to be very strikingly vindicat
ed. It was understood thir the em
ployment of senatoTS'in that capacity
was to get treaties ratified without
modification or mutilation. But
please note what is happening to the
four-power tieatv.
Mr. Brandegee's reservations would
weaken the treaty, especially that
part of the reservation saying "Mr
the consent of the congress of the
United States shall be necessary V
any adjustment or understanding
under article 1 or 2, by which (Tie
United States is to be bound in any
way and that there is no obligation
either leenl or moral to give such
consent." The treatv may not be
worth much as it is to Japan an l
Great Britain, but it would be " orth
less in case the president could do
nothing under is provisions without
the express crnsent of congress in
every case that should arise, wheth
er or not it involved the us.- of
force. ,
For fverv reservation to the lonr
power treaty that might be adopted
Japan would know how to find com
pensation in Chinr." or Siheiin Th

SENATE'S THIRST FOR
MATION
Springfield Republican.
With Secretary Hughes gone to
Bermuda for a vacation the Senate
foreign relations committee must
whistle for inside information con
cerning the four-power Pacific
treaty. The Senate debate Thursday
developed the fact that Mr. Hughes
had exclusive charge of the treaty's
negotiation for the American dele
gation, and that cf written records,
minutes, stenographic notes of con
versation?, letters .or , memoranda
not a scrap is in existence. If Mr.

nuired information because most of
the negotiations were conducted with
out keeping a record. Nobody can
have forgotten how much criticism
was directed at President Wilson
because part of the negotiations a' , ten it.
Paris were carried on in the same
fashion.
President Harding says further
more that it wr.ii Id not be compatible
with the public interest to disclose
the negotiation f,f the treaty. When
he returns from Bermuda the com
mittee could summon him as a wit
ness anc"' in executive session at least
he would probably be glad to enligh-
The breakdown of the sytem ot
diiect senatorial representation on
the American delegation to the arms
conference must be noted in this con
nection. Neither Senator Lodge nor
Senator Underwood knows a blessed
thing about the inside negotiation of
this treaty, which is by far the most
contentious of the lot, except what
Mr. Hughes has told them. For as
both explained to the Senate, "the
negotiations were conducted by the
'heads of delegation." It was a del
icate matter finding a substitute
for the Anglo-Japanese alliance
ami.' the conversations, as Mr. Lodge
declared, were necessarily private
But there was no secrecy, Mr. Lodge
insisted. The distinction is import
ant; instead of negotiating in secret
the heads of the delegations nego
tiated in private. And the senatorial
representatives, supposed to keep the
Senate in intimate touch with the
business 0f the conference- can now
add nothing to what is already known
by the public.
Mr. Underwood, as the titular-
leader of the opposition party in the
Senate, is in no position to conv
r.kvn because no information bearing
on the tour-power treaty was in
eluded in the 900-page report of the
American delegation. Mr. Under
wood oivested himself ot his r.ormai
functions as a senator when he ac
ccpted an appointment as one of the
diplomatic agents of the President
in the Washington conference. He car.
not now take on those functions
cgain in their purity, after having
signed the treaties as an agent of
the executive power. But Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, the ranking
Democratic member of the foreign
relations committees, has lots none
of his Qualifications as a senator in
considering these treaties and his:
resolution calling upon the "Pttesrdentj
for fuller information is strictly in
conformity with precedents.
The truth aboil' 'the . four-rjowrer1
treaty, w.a.s undoubtedly stated pyj
TJnd'rw'ooV .-when he 'said.
that.it was designed to effect the
v... elation of the, Anglo-Japanese
alliance. This fact is generally
known. But a question of real doubt
remaining is the extent to which it
leplaces that alliance. It is tc. be ex
""cted thfn- when he returns from
Bermuda Mr. Hughes will be- heard
by the Senate committee on the sub
ject, at least in secret session. No
records of his private conversation?
were kept for o'-.vious reasons. No,
one dared to preserve them owing
tr.- the extreme delicacy of the ques
tions involved. Sourlos versenkt.
