THE HAGUE TREATIES
MAY NOT BE RATIFIED,
Not N Single Power Represented in
the Conference Has Yet Acted
Upon Its Conventions.

WASHINGTON, March 14--In diplomatic
circles here an unpleasant suggestion has
been thrown out to the effect that The
hague conference has resulted in complete
failure and that even the limited pro-
gramme agreed upon is never 10 be per-
feetcd The basis for this belief Is the
fact that up to this moment ii is not
known officially that a single one of tho
powers represented in the conference has
ratified the three conventions prepared
there. The treaties themselves require
that each of the participants in the con-
ference shall be notified whether the other
parties ratify the convention. Up to this
time no such notice has reached this
country. So far as the United States gov
ernment is concerned only one Of the trea-
ties has been ratified by the senate, AMI
even in that case the formalities have not
been carried to completion. 1t Is probable.
however. that the appearance in Washing
ton of the newly appointed Dutch minis
ter. bringing with him the official copies
of the conventions. may result in further
action by the United States upon them.
