EXPECT FAVORABLE
ACTION ON TREATIES
General Arbitration Conventions
to Be Taken Up in Senate
Next Thursday.

Washington, February ll.--Gencral
arbitration treaties with Great Britain.
Japan. Italy. Spain. Norway. Sweden.
Portugal and Switzerland, which have
expired and are awaiting ratification
for extension are 10 be taken up for
consideration by the Senate on Feb
ruary 10. This course was determined
upon to-day by the Foreign Relations
Committee, which recently favorn oily
reported the treaties after conference
with President Wilson.
Opposition TO extension OF the treaties
is certain 10 develop. but administra
zion leaders see a clearing up OF the
foreign relations of the country, and
believe that the conventions will be
fnvorably acted upon after general de-
bate. That the opposition is not as
formidable as il was last summer.
when action on the treaties was held
up. already is apparent. Ono reason
Tor that Is the desire OF the President
Tor repeal OF the section of the Pan
anna Canal act excmpting American
coastwise shipping from toll charges.
III was because OF fear that this aues-
ton would be forced into arbitration
at The Hague, TO determine whether IL
violated the Hay -Pauncefote treaty.
that consideration OF the general arbi
tration treaty with Great Britain last
summer was blocked. Conser0
other treaties also were held up, in
order that there might appear to be
no discrimination.
With opposition OF the British treaty
on account Of tolls disappearing. there
is left only the opposition argument
against the general policy OF arbitra-
lion. This view Is held b. several Re-
publican and Democratic Senators.
Senator William Alden Smith. OF Michi-
gan, Republican member OF the For
cign Relations Committee. is unalter-
ably opposed to all such treaties.
General clearing up OF the Asiatfo
question by It's elimination from pend
ing Immigration legislation. removed
many objections to the treaty with
Japan. il is regarded as certain IL the
British and Japanese treaties are APP
proved for extension, the similar con-
ventions with other nations will be
ratified without difficulty.
The committee decided to postpone
taking up the treaties for another weel
on account OF the illness of Senator
Bacon, OF Georgia, chairman, and Sena-
tor Stone. OF Missouri.
