SENATE TREATY STAND
DEFENDED BY GREY

viscount Grey OF Falloden, Eng
land. who has been In this country
as a representative Of the Empire,
but is now in England, has address
cd letter to the London Times a
letter discussing the attitude OF TIN
country In most enlightened way.
The letter follows:
Sir: nothing, 1t seems to me, Is
more desirable in international pol
itics than grod understanding be-
tween the democracy Of the United
States on the one hand and the de-
mocracies of Great Britain and self
governing dominions, and, | hope we
may add. ireland on the other. Moth
ing would be more disastrous than
Misunderstanding and arrangement
Position Not Understood.
There are some aspects OF the po-
sltion In the United States with re-
gard to the League of Nations which
are not wholly understood in Great
Britain. hope that, as a result of
my recent stay in Washington, !
may be able to make that position
better understood. There is natur-
ally impatience and disappointment
at the delay OF the United States in
ratifying the peace treaty and the
covenant of the league of nations.
1t Is perhaps not so generally recog-
nized here that there is great impa-
thence and disappointment in the
United States. Nowhere is the i'm
passe caused by the deadlock between
the president and the senate more
keenly regretted than In the United
States. where there is a strong and
even urgent desire In public opinion
to see way out OF that impasse
which will be both honorable to the
United States and helpful to the
world II would be well to under
stand the real difficulties with which
the people OF the United States have
been confronted in the clear light of
right understanding. What seemed
disagreeable features OF the situa-
tion will assume more favorable
and Ineligible aspect.
No Charge Of Bad Faith
Let us first get rid Of one possible
misunderstanding. No charge of bad
faith or repudiation Of signatures
can be brought against the action of
the United States. The senate, by
the American constitution, Is an in
dependent body, an Independent ell
ement In treaty-making power. Its
refusal to ratify the treaty cannot
expose either itself or the country
to the charge OF bad faith or repudi-
alton. nor Is 1t fair to represent the
United States as holding up the
treaty solely from motives OF party
politics and thereby sacrificing the
interests of other nations for this
petty consideration. 1t is true that
there are party politics and personal
animosities In the United States.
They are, however, not the sole or
even the prime cause of the difficulty
about the league Of nations.

Says U. S. Aid Against
U-Boats Was Negligible
Captain Pratt Tells Senate In.
quiry Navy's Greatest Contribu-
ton Was in Transporting Men

WASHINGTON, April 23-Ame rican
participation in the anti-submarine cam
paign did not shorten the war a single
day, Captain W. V. Pratt testified to-
day before the Senate Naval Investi-
eating subcommittee. The greatest
contribution the navy made to winning
the war was in getting troops abroad,
he added.
Captain Pratt said the only answer he
could make to Rear Admiral Sims's
charge that the department had failed
to send enough anti-submarine vessels
abroad at the outbreak of the war was
that the navy did not have more craft
of this type. There were ffty-one de-
stroyers that could have been sent
abroad as soon as war was declared,
Captain Pratt testified, adding that he
would have sent all of them abroad at
once: Chairman Hale previously had
developed that this number of United
States destroyers was not in the war
zone until March, 1918.
Admiral Benson and all other officials
OF the department had full confidence
in Admiral Sms's ability and judgment,
the captain said, even though the gem
eral situation sometimes made it nee
ee,ssary to disapprove Sims's requests.
SIMS never sent "clean cut" plan. he
added, which necessitated many re-
quests for explanations

amounting to approximately $442O 900.
These contracts, under investigation

The notice of the Mexican govern

that under international law American
