AMEN DED TREATIES
PASS THE SENATE
Change the English and French Urea
ties to Exclude Monroe Doctrine
and ATOMS. Vote rs to 8.

Washington, March 5. The Unit
ed States senate has adopted the
resolution ratifying the arbitration
treaties with Great Britain and France
by vote OF seyenty-six to three,
after the disputed clause Of article 3,
relating to the joint high commission.
had been stricken out and after amend
ments had been adopted barring from
arbitration questions Affecting the
Monroe doctrine or other territorial
integrity matters, admission Of aliens
into the United States and educational
institutions and state indebtedness.
The result was complete upset of
the administrations plan for quick ac-
ton on arbitration. as the treaties
now have to go back To Great Britain
and France.
The amendment OF the British treaty
as first proposed by the foreign rela-
lions committee, To strike out clause
8, was adopted AZ to 49, This clause
was attacked on the ground that II
delegated the senate's constitutional
treaty making powers to the Joint high
commission and thereby hound the
senate. The two treaties are Identical.
The striking out Of clause of ar
ticle will necessitate further diplo-
matte negotiations. Senator Lodge has
oontended that change In the text
would imperil the treaties, through the
delay necessitated by renewal Of ne
gotiations.
The elimination OF clause was a
amended treaties and changed the ex-
pected order of amendments. Senator
Bacon offered an amendment to the
treaty excluding from arbitration all
questions affecting admission of aliens
into the United States or into educa-
tional Institutions, territorial Integrity
Of the states. state indebtedness or the
Monroe Doctrine. II was defeated by a
tie, Al to Al.
Senator Chamberlain, OF Oregon,
then offered an amendment providing
that the treaties should not authorize
admission OF aliens into the United
States or into educational institutions
OF the states. 1t was adopted. 40 to 38.
An amendment by Senator Culber-
son excluding from arbitration all
questions OF honor or independence or
of vital interest or questions affecting
third parties was defeated, 81 to As.
Senator Root, speaking in advocacy
OF ratification. quoted from the speech
of Secretary Knox at Cincinnati last
November. in which that ,ofiicial ex-
planned that such questions as the
Monroe Doctrine and the exclusion of
were not included In the
conventions. Mr.. Root said that a.
Mr.. Knox was one OF the negotiators
Of the treaty these expressions we're
part Of the record and binding on the
OF It.
I Senator Borah sought to have the
views Of President Taft printed in
the same connection, but Mr.. Root de-
clined to permit him to do 30.
"Would not the Interpretation Of the
president be- as important as that OF
his secretary of state II II we're ex.
actly opposite?" interjected Senator
Bacon
Mr.. Root replied that 1t would be
as evidence. but added that
Mr. Knox's view was authoritative,
and that he proposed to stand by 1t.
