LA Toilette SEES ONLY
MNlQUITIES" IN TREATY
Senator Announces He viii Fight
Against Ratification

Washington, Dec. 13.-(By A. P.)-
Declaring that the new four Power
Pacific treaty had "all of the iniquities
Of the League Of Nations with none Of
the virtues claimed for that document" 1"
Senator LaFollette, Republican, Of Wis
consin. today announced in a forma;
statement that he was prepared to dc
oil I'm my power to prevent its ratl-
ication."
Mr.. La Toilette declared that the
document, as It stands, binds the United
States to recognize the title Of Great
Britain and Japan to the vast terri
tory in the Pacific seized by these Pow :
ers under the Treaty of Versailles, -
which territory, he added. was divided
in accordance with n secret treaty ne
gotiated between Great Britain and ia
pan prior to America 8 entrance into the
world war.
Under the cloak of conference
made possible by a world wide senti-
ment for disarmament, the Senator
continued, "the diplomats, representing
reactionary sentiment in Great Britain,
France, Japan and the United States,
have hatched in secret treaty of al
lance which morally binds this country
to 60 to war whenever the rights of
either of the high contracting parties in
the Pacific are threatened.
"For the United States to enter an
alliance with the only great imperialist
nations which survived the war is q
rash substitute for the peaceful, anti
imperialist American policy, tested by
century and n quarter. and based
upon friendship with all nations and
entangling alliances with none.'
Article III of the Pacific treaty was
described by the Wisconsin Senator as
"a half brother" of Article X of the
League of Nations Covenant and as
binding upon the United States as it
is possible to bind a country by treaty
agreement to participate in whatever
efficient measures" may be deemed
necessary by the Powers party to the
treaty.
Mr.. La Toilette predicted defeat OF
the treaty, saying it was inconceivable
to him that the Senate should consent
'to such an act of treachery as the
treaty Contemplates -

tration Court for jurisdiction In Paci-
fic disputes. while lacking stipulations
regarding arbitration. The newspaper
says the instrument IL the cornerstone
FOR more practical and more effective
measure.
The Asahi Shimbun regards the pact
as powerful expansion of the Anglo
Japanese Alliance. The treaty, II says,
introduces q fundamental change in the
traditional diplomatic policy of the en-
pire and complicated more than ever
Japan's international relations. The
newspaper believes this should not cause
anxiety after the Pacific clouds have
been dispelled through its enactment
The Chugai Shogyo Shimpo, in its
news columns, says il the Washington
Conference is to be regarded as a sue
cess on account of the four Power treaty
1t must be so in the sense that the
japanese mace Is removed thereby.
The Yokmiuri Shimbun accepts the
pact with confidence, and expresses
hope that the nations will strive to at
tain 'the pinnacle of virtue contem-
plated therein"
The Asahi Shimbun sees possible
resuscitation Of the Anglo japanese AL
lance, in effect, in the provision for
collective action in the event of dis
putes, outlined in Article II. The
Yamato Shimbun deplores what IT calls
the weakening Of the empire through
the proposed cancellation of the Anglo
japanese Alliance, since it believes the
entente does not afford definite guar
antee to the position Of Japan.
Mayor Goto, commenting upon the
treaty, sounded note of warning
against what he termed restriction OF
Japan's efforts at expansion through the
operatin of the entente.
Director Adasbi, of the Kenseikai
Party, said:
1T is n noble agreement, but it is
far from practical guarantee Of
peace"

."Why did you do that"
At this point Mr.. Fox called Nc
Govern to the bar of the Court.
How much do you weigh, McGov-
ern?"
McGovern replied 135 pounds
Turning his finger to the witness,
Mr.. Fox said:
''And you wanted two citizens to
help you arrest this boy?"
Yes, did"
"Why did you run after them after
they got away?"
They were fugitives from justice.

in arms is tacit in the agreement among
the great Powers.
Mr.. Borah is about all there is to the
opposition in the Senate to the Hughes
program, which Is nothing new, for
through the incompetency of the Demo-
cratic party the only effective criticism
of all Republican measures comes from
the Idaho Senator.
Borah Picks Weak Spot
with his usual shrcwdness he has
picked the weak spot in the Hughes
program, its moral side. If Mr.. Wilson
erred in the direction of excessive faith
Mr.. Hughes errs in that of lack oi
faith. The secretary has attempted ant
is effectng compromise which will
save money, lessen the prospects OF wal
and improve the position of the Unitet
States. But il Is q compromise.
Mr.. Borah attacks it as d com
promise, with the moral weaknesses
which compromise always has. Tit
agreements being made here envisag,
war, they recognize that internationa
competition is inevitable. They mitigate
the cost and dangers Of that competition
and lessen the chances of war. That II
all, and il Mr.. Hughes reads. arigh
the lessons of Mr.. Wilson'S failure a
Paris, that is all that is possible.
Weaken the naval holiday and yot
strengthen Mr.. Borah. Further battle
ship building is as inconsistent will

Issue Might Grow
Politically Mr.. Borah's opposition

The Idaho Senator, even thus re-en'
forced with moral arguments, car
hardly hold up, much less defeat tn,

to the well has been there too often. Th,
public has fought its fight upon inter
national co operation and is willing tt
compromise. 1t is willing to do, SO loni
as the verbal record is kept straight
what a little while ago it declared i
would not do.
But little issues such as Mr.. Borah il
raising now sometimes have n way o
growing into big issues. Three year
hence, one cannot tell. The Admins
tration is unwilling to give Mr.. Boral
any more opportunity TO raise BIZ
