SENATORS OPPOSE
TREATY RENEWAL
NINE MEMBERS VOICE THEIR
PROTEST IN EXECUTIVE
GESSION.

WASHINGTON, June Mime of
the most influential men in the Unit.
ed States senate ehind the closed
doors Ct an executive session voiced
their protest againse the renewal OF
the arbitration treaty with Great
Britain that expired June 5. They
declared that these treaties tied our
hands in every direction where Amer
lean interests should be protected
The senator's said it was, as the
result of this. that the United States
was afraid to enter Mexico and pro-
tect its own citizens; that the i'm
preston had teen created in Japan
that this country would not stand up
for its rights. 1t had led to the pres
ent dispute with Japan over the au
thority of California to say who
should own It's soil. Senators assert
ed bitterly that this plan of arhitra
ton had enabled England to pro
test against orr own control of oul
domestic commerce and coastwise
trade.
With much warmth it was declared
that this so-ca.ied peace policy of the
past was responsible for treaties now
in force, constructed by the admins
tration to mean that duties cannot
be levied aad the American merchant
marine cannot be built up.
