Senators Morgan and Lodge Lead the
Debate.
Washington, March 24.-An agreement
reached In executive session of the Senate
this afternoon on an hour for voting.on the
amendments to the general treaty OF
arbitration between the United States
and Great Britain, but consent to an
agreement for final vote was refused.
AT two next Wednesday the vote will be
taken on the amendments then pending
and the treaty in its then shape is to be
printed for the use of the Senate the next
day.
At four the Thursday following, the
vote IN to be taken upon all amendments
that may be offered in the meantime. and
this will be the last of the votes on the
proposed amendments. From that time
the debate will proceed on the treaty
proper.
Senator Davis made persistent effort
to secure an agreement for an hour for
final vote, but was confronted with OBJ
jeotions that made such an agreement
impossible. 1t is thought with all the
amendments out of the way, the final
vote cannot long be postponed. What the
ultimate outcome will be. can hardly be
foreshadowed. The opponents of the
treaty profess to have the requisite thirty
votes necessary to encompass the defeat
of the treaty and say they have several
new Senators on their list
The questions asked by these new
Senators indicate lively interest in tho
convention and determination to under
stand the bject thoroughly before cast

Mr.. Morgan was replied to by Mr.
Lodge, who declared his belief that the
treaty as reported to the Senate wa.
amply protective for the United States
governments. To further amend i. would
but complicate the language of the con.
vention.
Mr.. Lodge made shcrt speech In favor

proper expression of the extent to which
this government was ready to 60 in that
direction.
Chairman Davis and Mr.. Hoar spoke
briefly in advocacy of the treaty as
amended by the committee, and against
the agreement proposed by the Senator
from Texas.
Mr.. Spooner insisted that the Chiffon

Mr. Thuiston was of the same view.

that the Chiffon amendment should pre-
vail.

Senator Morgan took the floor immedi-
ately after the doors we're closed today
and spoke for an hour or more in ad-
vocaoy of the Chiffon amendment, re-
iterating his opposition to the treaty as n
whole. The Chiffon amendment makes
an important change in the tenor of the
first article of the treaty. Under that
article both contracting parties agree to
submit to arbi4ration under this general
treaty, All questions in difference be-
tween them which they may fail to ad-
just by diplomatic negotiation
Mr.. Chilton's amendment modifies this
to make 1T read that the United States
agrees to submit all questions which the
Senate (Which is part of our treaty
making power) shall decide to be subject
fit for arbitration. The member of the
committee and Senators opposed to any
amendments other than those made by
the committee, contend that this is the
| only construction that can be placed up
on the text of the treaty. Tor that reason
| they hold that tho amendment is un-
| necessary. The advocates Of the Chiffon
| amendment contend that If this is the
construction placed upon the text by the
Senate and committee no harm can come
| from the adoption of an amendment that
| makes plain what now appears somewhat
| doubtful.
1t was stated today that the comments
of the English press With respect to the
com mmittee amendments which were
agreed to the other Gay make it impera-
| lively the duty of the Senate to so frame
the treaty that there can be no possible
doubt about the intention of the Senate.
Mr.. Morgan thought the Chiffon
| amendment essential and vital. If the
treaty was to se ratified, he wanted 1t
safeguarded in every possible manner
and warned the Senate that, however 1t
might he protected. Great Britain would
find loop hole through which that gov
ernment would evane her duties under
that instrument. if her interests demand
that she SO escape them.
