From, The Tribunc's Washington Bprca~
WASHINGTON, Dec 3O.--Senator
Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, one Of the
Democratic leaders of the Senate, HAS
come out against the four-power treaty
in an interview in San Francisco, ac-
cordng to reports received to-day IN
Senatorial circles. Senator Harrison
vent West with The funeral party of
the late Representative Elston
Senator Harrison is one of the group
Of dozen pro-league and pro Wilson
Senators on the Democratic side VINO
conferred soon after the terms OF the
treaty were announced and who de-
cided to withhold comment until the
had further developed. His action
now in criticizing the treaty is looked
on here as confirmation of the reports
which have been going the rounds at
the Capitol for some days, that the
Wilson Democrats were preparing tc
fight ratification.
The Senate will reconvene Tuesday
and the expectation is that the coming
wc'N1 will develop several speeches on
the treaty and perhaps other phases OF
the conference.
Senate Republican leaders ale watch
ing the situation carefully from day to
ment among Senator'S that has bear
ing on ratification. They have great
confidence that Senator Underwood
will command strong following
among the Democrats and continue to
assert that fourteen Democrats will
line up for the treaty. On this basis
there would be twenty-one Democrats
in opposition.
Leaders of the anti-Japanese move
ment in California are understood to
be trying hard to get Senator Hiram
Johnson to align himself against the
treaty. So far as known here, they
have not succeeded The Republican
chiefs have Senator Johnson on their
list as one of the men who will vote
for ratification. Senator Shortridge,
Of California, colleague Of Senator
Johnson, in spite of the fact he has
in the past expressed pronounced anti
Japanese views, is relied on by the
leaders here to vote for ratification.

said to-day he was apprehensive of the
movement to bring about what he re-
garded as reckless cuts in ornaments,
making use of public sentiment for
peace which has grown up with the
conference or on which the conference
is based. News that Senator King,
of Utah. is bent on presenting resolu-
tions for large naval reductions and
to cut the army to $4,000 has served

LONDON, Dec. 30.-France's unyield-
ing attitude on the submarine issue
continued to day to be the center of
interest in official London, and it was
apparent from newspaper and official
comment that this new development,
while it threatens to wreck the En-
tente, has drawn England closer than
ever to America Whatever may be
the practical results of the Washing
ton conference, the masses in Eng
land feel that it's record Of achieve
ment is high, simply because it has
demonstrated to the world that the
English-speaking peoples are stand
inc shoulder to shoulder for the same
ideals.
Dispatches from America stating
that the United States is inclined to
bring moral and material pressure to
bear on France could be duplicated by
extracts from the British press. Some
organs talk as if new armament war
were about to begin, while otnGrs re-
fuse to get excited about the French
demands, but the general tone is one
of deep disappointment.

The financial pages of many English
newspapers to-day contain articles
showing that France owes England
millions of pounds on which she has
not paid a penny Of principal or in

made on her for payment. With this
preface they ask how long the alliance

Says "The Evening Standard:
France cannot expect US to be content
to forego either the interest or princi-
pal, while at the same time we are
'orced by the action of France to an
expenditure that we regard as either
wicked waste if the alliance is to
continue or a direct menace if the al

Flihu Roots resolutions are well
coined because they are calculated to
probe the real meaning of France 5
policy. If the vital clause prohibiting
submarines from destroying commerce
is accepted by all the powers, then the
British will rest more easily.

Lloyd George at Cannes, and it will

Special articles from Paris indicate

forecast, then the Entente can be
thrown into the discard ser good and
