NOT OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED.
The Failure to Ratify the Arbitru
tiOn Treaty.


tiOn Treaty.
The failure of the Senate to make public
its action on the arbitration treaty has
created an unusual condition of affairs.
There Is no official information that the
Senate has taken any action. or that the
treaty has been rejected. or that the de-
feated treaty was different from the one
originally submitted. All that Is known
officially is that a treaty was concluded by
Secretary Otney and Sir Julian Pauncefote
and sent to the Senate. 1t then went into
executive session. so that no official in
formation has been given as to the amend
ments made and the final action taken.
The secrecy of executive session does not
permit the State Department or the British
governmentto be notified as to what has
occurred. ls
1t is felt to be due to the other contract
ing party 10 the treaty that some notice
should be given as to what has been done
and as to. the form Of the treaty when 1t
was rejected. In case the Senate never
should make its action known. the last off,
cial record on the treaty would be its sub
mission to the Senate four months ago.
