STEFANSS0N FEARS
LOSS OF KARlUK
Explorer, However, Thinks
Those on Board Are in
No Danger.
10y Gable 10 The Tribune ]

London, Feb. 20.-In a dispatch 10
THE Daily Chronicle" from Point Bar
row. Alaska, V. Stefansson, the leader
Of the Canadian Arctic expedition. gives
further details of the disappearance OF
the Karluk, which was announced in
December. Though far from sanguine
that the Karluk viii be saved. he has
little doubt about the ultimate safety
Of those on board. II the vessel should
Ic crushed by winter ice there Will be
little trouble about the men getting
ashore safely, hut whether any OF the
material aboard the Karluk can be
saved depends upon its distance from
shore and the roughness OF the Ice.
If the Karluk is crushed during the
coming summer the danger 10 life will
be somewhat increased although II
cannot be considered serious, for the
KarIuk is equipped with three skin
boats, any one OF which could carry
the entire ships company. In the event
OF Il retreat toward shore the party
would not. therefore. be confronted with
the serious transportation difficulties
the Jeanette expedition had TO face
consequent upon the heavy weight and
the fragile character OF the boats.

SENATE DISCUSSES
ARBITRATION PACTS
Vote TO Be Taken Soon and Rati.
fcation of Pending Con-
ventions Expected.
From The Tribune Burssul

Washington, Feb. ia sharp clash
between Senators O'Gorman and Root
over Andrew Carnegie's activities in
the cause Of universal peace marked
the opening Of the debate in the secret
session Of the Senate to-day on the
ratification OF the general treaties OF
arbitration.
The Junior Senator from New York,
who. with Senator Chamberlain, led the
revolt against the President in oppos'-
ton To the treaties. asserted that the
purpose of the Carnegie slo,ooo,oOo
peace endowment was not merely the
propagation OF the doctrine Of interna- =
tional peace, but, rather, the promotion
Of On alliance between Great Britain
and the United states.
In support of this assertion MI.
O'Gorman read extracts from an aru-
Gle bv Mr.. Carnegie published in The
North American Review Of June, 1923.
in which the Laird OF Skibo' suggest
cd that it would be better for both
countries if their affairs were directed
bv a single government. and announced
that he would devote both time and
money to bringing about such union
Senator OGorman added that, ap-
rarentlv in accordance with this ex-
pressed purpose of Mr.. Carnegie the
$500 600 income from the peace cndow-
ment had been used in substituting
NOV. snaners. paving speakers and sup
porting a publicity propaganda. In
1911. ne said. several prominent persons
were paid for taking the platform TO
attack the Senate of the United States
because of its attitude toward the So
called peace treaties.
The remarks OF the Senator from
New York are offensive 10 me person
arv as well as otherwise said Mr.
Root. who went on 10 explain the origin
of the movement for arbitration in the
United States. and pointed 10 the fact
that tie negotiation Of the pending
treaties was undertaken several years
before the Carnegie Peace Foundation
had been established.
Senator O'Gorman said that he had
not intended TO reflect in any way on
Senator Root, but the latter. who had
much 10 do with the establishment Of
the foundation and plays conspicuous
part in the management of its affairs,
was not mclified by this explanation.
No action was taken on the treaties
to-day. and at the close of the session
the opposition had not been exhausted.
The debate will be resumed tomorrow.
1t is probable that a vote Will be
reached late tomorrow or on the fol-
lowing day, when II is expected, the
treaties will be ratified without amend .
ment. Supporters Of the President are
PLAYING passive game and are
merely waiting for the opposition to
talk itself out.
