Washington, March 22 A flood ot prepared speeches lev and against the four-power Pacific treaty was loosed in the senate today a-, the per- iond of unlimited debate came to an end, which will bring a vote on the measure. i The four-power arrangement was assailed by Senator LaFollette as a scheme of Great Britain and Japan to secure further cooperation in their schemes of exploitation and imper ialism. He declared it was regarded by statesmen cf Japan and Great Brit ain, as merely the extension of the Anglo-Japanese agreement, -which it abrogates, and that in reality it is to the advantage of these two pow ers, f 'I do net know", said Senator La Follette, that Great Britain would contend of this proposed treaty went into effect that its do minions should each have a sep arate vote under the treaty as they have under the league of na tions. At all events we do know that the Anglo-Japanese policy of ag gression and imperialism which made the British empire and the Japanes empire close allies in the past will cause them t stand in opposition as a unit to the polices of any power in the Pacific which desires to es pouse the cause of weak nations. Whether they outvote us six to one or two to one is not material. When such a controversy arises the signers of this contract are to be convened, When so convened the ontroversy is to be referred to them as a board of body and it is to be t?eit.-hot. merely for considera tion, not merely to be examined into and reported upon, but it is to be re ferred and 'adjusted'. "Such an agreement as this enter ed into between individuals would be held binding in any jurisdiction as an arbitration agreement. Bv the Associated Press.

SENATE MAXIMUM ENLISTED STRENGTH REDUCED ?RICE FIVE CENTS 1 ALCOHOL BOARD (BY MAX ABERNETIIY) Raleigh, March 2. An effort is being made to have. Gove; no. Mor rison serve in the capacity of hon orary president of the North Caro lina branch of the American Alcohol Education Association, it was learn ed here today. The .association is being organized throughout the nation with head quarters in Los Angeles, California, and a North Carolina branch of tho organization is being sought. Gov ernor Morrison has not announced whether he will serve in the capacity as honorary president of the state,- m-ancii, but request is being made that he doso. Similar requests are going iorward to IJent W. B. Cooper and all living ex-lieu tenant governors, Speaker Harry Grier of (he 'bouse of representatives and his predecessors who are living. Former governors of the state will also be asked to serve in an honor ary capacity. Letters received at the capital state the object of the association as being to "educate the human race in the truth about alcohol and the con sequences of its use as a beverage to the individual iand to society." The association pledges itself to stay out of, politics to the extent of refusing to affiliate with any political party and "to maintain strict neutrality on all questions of public policy not di rectly and immediately concerned with the object of the association." Its method of operation is summed up in this statement: The associa tion is founded upon the common, meeting-ground of humanity, the power of truth and the allegiance that truth once established commands from all, and it undertakes to find out the truth about alcohol and to disseminate that truth throughout America and the world." The as sociation drafts the "unreserved co operation of all individuals who love their fellows and al leigitimate as sciations and organizations regardless o'lj their other activities and affilia tions." Since all "lands are torn by dis sensions over the alcohol problem," it is the belief of the association that "No balm should be more heal ing to the body social of the suffer ing world than to determine without delay questions of fact, and quickly spread everywhere established truth about alcohol."
