DENY ANY ''BACKD0WN"
REGARDING ARBITRATION
Friends Of the Treaties Cite
Knox's Speech to Show Ad-
ministration Is Consistent.

Friends of the arbitration treaties be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain and France are today pointing to a
last November to show that the Lodge
the attitude OF the administration in the
past and does not involve ''backdown"
by the administration.
In fact it is now being declared that
the new resolution of ratification origi-
mated with the administration.
The Cincinnati speech of Secretary
Knox is quoted to back up the statement
he made q few days ago. that ''it is a
mistake to allege that the resolution of
ratification of the peace treaties proposed
by Senator Lodge involves a surrender
Of the administration or the Senate Of
any position they hold in respect to the
treaties"
What Knox Said.
In the Cincinnati speech Secretary
Knox said:
Every agreement to arbitrate must go
to the Senate for it's approval There
can be no arbitration without its APP
proval.s An agreement to arbitrate. goes
to the Senate for its approval either be-
cause the executive branches of the two
countries concerned in the difference

trati0n or because, failing SO to agree.

Is such difference.
How can the Senate's power over the
agreement be less II it goes to the Senate
after the commissions report that 1t pre-
sents an arbitrable question than IL it
had gone there because of the opinion of
the executive branches of both govern.
ments to the same effect?'
In his speech, the friends Of the treaties
point out. the Secretary of State, who
negotiated the treaties on behalf of the
United States, construes them to mean
just what they are declared to mean in
the resolution of ratification proposed by
Mr.. Lodge.
Conceded Just by Taft.
Secretary Knox would not have made
such positive statement in his Cincin-
natl speech, it is further held, II he had
not known that the negotiators of the
other two governments agreed with him.
AS to the confirmation of the American
commissioners by the Senate. President
Taft in many speeches has conceded that
that action was just and proper. 1t was
natural that he should do SO, 1t Is held,
because Secretary Knox told the commit
tee on foreign relations before any action
was taken upon the treaties last summer
that 1t was the desire of the President
that the resolution of ratification should
provide for the confirna ton OF the Amer
ican commissions by the Senate, but that
1t was not deemed desirable to put in the
body of the treaties a matter of this kind.

direct charge made today by the

charges.
Many prominent persons. inter-
ested In the attempt to secure peace,
by having President Sun Vat Sen
resign and then have the constitu-
tionaI election guaranteed, are sat
isfied that the president listened to
the influence of the men who want
ed concessions In China. The desire
to get possession OF all the natural
resources OF the country was said
to have caused financiers Of inter
national reputation to make sub
stantial contributions to President
Suns expenses and 1t was their in
ffuence that kept the president from
his own personal ambf-
