SENATE COMMITTEE FINDS oP.
POSITION TO PROVISIONS OF
ARBITRATION TREATIES.
AMENDMENTS NECESSARY
Especial Objection is Found in Matter
Of Submitting Questions Of Differ
snce to the Joint High Commission
Of lnquiry.Ssverai Senators Are Un.
alterably Opposed.

Washington. Aug. 9.--Frlends Of the
British and French arbitration, treaties
In the senate have reached the con-
clusion 1t will be necessary to amend
the conventions In order to get favor
able action upon them. This conclu-
sion IL the result of the consideration
Of documents by the senate committee
on foreign relations. which has taken
them up In vigorous fashion.
After two prolonged sittings the
committee adjourned late today to
meet again Saturday. Both meetings
We're devoted to the consideration Of
the documents on their merits, the
first in company with Secretary Knox
and the second by the members them
selves without the secretary's aid.
No effort was made to have the
treaties reported, and It became ex-
tremely doubtful to some of the
friends of the administration whether
such course would be wise at pres
ent. as objections have been made to
some features of the agreement as
they now appear.
Especial objection was made at both
sittings to the provision submitting
questions OF difference to the joint
high commission of inquiry. but fault
was also found with the provision In
the French treaty authorizing ratifi-
cation by that government in accord
ance with the procedure required by
the laws Of France, and with the con-
dition In the British treaty that mat
ters affecting dependencies OF Great
Britain shall be submitted to the gov
ernments Of such dependencies.
It was thought the latter clause
might lead to undesirable complica-
tions, while II was feared that the
former might necessitate a change In
the method of proceeding in this
country.
Despite all these objections II be.
came evident, however. that the power
conferred on the Joint commission Is
the only real obstacle to early action
Several senators expressed unalterabls
opposition to this proposition and
more than one suggestion was made
that this provision should be elm.
mated or at least materially modified
No motion was made to this effect
but II there had been n vote It prob
ably would have carried. The mag
nitude of the extent of this criticism
will be brought to the presidents at
tentIon and some senators will urg
the cancellation of the provision.
At the afternoon session a sugges
tion Of the morning meeting that tn
whole question be postponed until De
cember took the shape of a motion t
that effect. 1t was made by Senate
Clarke of Arkansas, but was with
drawn upon general expression o
opposition.
In this connection the friends OF tn
treaties received the greatest encour
agement that was given them durin
the day. Many members of the com
mittee expressed themselves as friend
~ to the general proposition involve
in the treaties, and some went SO ia
as to say that with few changes,
might be possible to get favorable &C
tion during the present session. espe
cially II 1t should be prolonged to an
extent.
