N M'CUMBER URGES
RATIFICATION
Believes the Peace Treaties
Should Be Ratified With
out Amendments

Washington. Jan. Ex-senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota appealed to
the senate today to Immediately rati-
fy the presidents arbitration treaties
with England and France, without
amendment. He argued that the
terms Of the treaties in no way
usurped the constitutional rights Of
the senate nor compel the arbitration
of any traditional question of Ameri-
can policy. such as the Monroe doc
trine or the control Of immigration.
The ratification of the treaties, Sem
ator McCumber declared, will give the
cause Of arbitration such an impetus
that like treaties will soon be made
with all the civilized nations. He
took the position that no construction
of the language of the treaties could
bring the United States to arbitrate
the question involving the Panama
canal, as he claimed it was an
American and not an International
question.
