Washington, II. G., Dec. II.
Ratification by the Senate of the
four Power Pacific treaty became
more certain tonight. After careful
study of tho document Senator Poin-
dexter (Wash.) who was one of the
irreconcilables in the fight against the
League of Nations. and who refused
yesterday 10 announce his attitude
toward the now agreement. came out
In its favor. Senator Hitchcock (Neb. J..
leader of the pro-league Democrats In
the last Congress. also announced his
intention TO vote for it.
Senator Borah Gdaho), ono OF the
irreconcilable leaders in the league
fight. continued TO withhold comment
a double interest attaches to Sena-
tor Polndexter's position inasmuch as
there is strong anti-Japanese senti-
ment on the Pacific coast.
'I think the agreement is a states
manlike document OF the first order"
Senator Poindoxter said to THE Nnw
agencies of government and no new re-
sponsibilities or obligations. Really.
in effect. il is an agreement OF the
nations 10 act decently and humanely in
their relations with one another.
Each party to the agreement ought
TO pursue the policies provided !n t.,
even though there were no such an
agreement. However. being thus ex-
pressly understood, the treaty adds TO
the security OF our territories IN the
orient, specifically In the Philippines.
''In my opinion Il measurably removes
possible causes OF wars and should go a
long way toward the preservation OF
peace. IL substantially fulfils tho as
surances given by President Harding
during his campaign"
Senator Hitchcock said he would vote
for the treaty on the theory that II Is a
step in tho right direction.
However, I am not enthusias stcally
for IT," explained the Senator. nor can
! gee any good reason for opposing H..
From n hasty review of the treaty my
views are expressed by the old adage {:
1T Is good enough what there IL OF it.
and there Is enough OF Il such as It Ia
n strikes me that II embodios as far az
II goes the League OF Nations idea. and.
- 7 said before. can sec no good
rcason for not supporting IL when Il
reaches the Senate"
The Senator made Il plain that he
was disappointed at the scope OF tho
treaty. declaring that the result of the
conference reminded him OF the fable
about the mountain laboring and bring
ing forth n mouse
with Senator Underwood (Ala.). the
minority leader. leading the fight in favor
Of the treaty. as one OF the American del
erates to the arms conference. backed
by Senator Hitchcock and other prom
incnt Democrats. II seems certain most
of the pro-League Democrats viii pc
lined up in support Of the compact when
!, comes before the Senate for ratifica-
tion.

early this morning at his home in

Washington, d. c.. Dee. II.
The United States and Japan have
reached definite understanding on
the question of Notifications in the
Pacific, so that this important issue
no longer endangers a successful
agreement for the limitation of the
navies.
The fortifications in the Pacific, both
American and Japanese, will remain
In status quo so long as the four
Power treaty is in force and so long
as the various nations to the naval
treaty now being prepared are willing
to abide by its terms. Neither nation
will build any more forts or naval
bases In the Pacific. but they will not
demolish any that are now In COM
mission.
The writing OF the naval treaty
which is to he made among the five
Powers. the United States, Great Brit
ain, japan, France and Italy. is pro-
ceeding with the understanding that
the matter of Notifications is not to
be mentioned.

Washington. u. g., Dec. H.
Domestic reactions on the four
Power pact treaty have been SO gen
orally favorable that American dele.
gates to the international conference
have turned their attention to the
naval and Chinese features OF th.
regular agenda. The Pacific treaty
while OF tremendous value in confer
cnce plans for world peace. was really
an outside venture. 1t was not or
the regular agenda.
The British, French and japanese
delegates regard IL as highly sue
cessful and prospectively beneficial
accomplished act-"a closed Incl.
i ant" as IL we're. Their own gor
ernmeuts have accepted IL and rati'
tlcation by the Parliamentary bodice
Is merely matter OF routine. In
this country 1t will remain live
issue until the United States Senate
has either ratified or rejected II.
officials OF the Government and
leaders of both parties In the Sen
ate believe it will be ratified, a.
though they are prepared for Wig
orous controversy over It, but fer
less bitter and protracted than thst
which eventuated in the rejection OF
the Versailles peace treaty and cove
nant of the League OF Nations.
The New York herald., 1921-12-12
Omitted From General Treaty.

The view of those who are writing the
naval treaty seems to be that the ques-
tion OF fortiflcations should be avoided,
since the treaty includes three other ma
tons besides japan and the United
States. Such terms as are set down In
the treaty are TO apply to all these
nations In a general way. as TO limit
Japan or America specifically In mat
ter which concerned none of the other
nations is hardly possible. according to
those who are drafting the treaty.
There was feeling Of optimism to-
day among the naval experts Of the va
rious countries with regard to an early
settlement OF the naval question along
the lines of the $3.50 ratio. The opinion
was ventured that a plenary session
would be called for Some day this week.
when complete acceptance would be re-
corded.
The Japanese position, which has been
uncertain UP TO this time. has been clarl-
fed considerably through the develop
nent of tho four Power treaty, which
was announced at the plenary session
yesterday. with this pledge on the part
OF the Powers TO respect japanese terri
tory IL was said that the Japanese dele
cation would be IN a far better position
TO accept the Hughes naval proposals
without reserve as Il would enable them
90 go back to Toxic with the explanation
that there was every prospect for future
peace and harmony In the Pacific and
that tremendous naval building pro-
gramme was unnecessary. Such an argu-
ment. they said was sufficient to stem
the opposition of all who had not hereto
fore agreed with the 5-5-3 ratio.
The New York herald., 1921-12-12
Every Objection ELIMINATED.

They assert that every objection
raised against the league has been
eliminated from tho Pacific treaty. \
contrary view held by a small but
uncertain number OF Republican Sens
tors is that clause two OF the Pacific
treaty is in efrec. "a diluted Article
X" and quite as potentially dangerous
Clause two Of The Pacific treaty Is as
follows:
II the said rights (of the United
States. Great Britain. France anu
Japan, are threatened by the ag
eresslve action OF sny other Power
the high contracting parties shall
communicate with one another

jointly or separately, TO meet the
cxigencles OF tho Pacific situation.
Article Y. OF the league covenant
reads
The members OF the league un-
dertake 70 respect and preserve az
against external aggression the ter
ritorial integrity and existing politi-
cal independence of all members
OF the league. In case of any such
aggression or IN case OF any threat
or danger of such aggression the
council shall advise upon means
by which this obligation shall be
fulfilled.
The defenders OF the Pacific treaty
point out that il does not cbiigatc

Canvass of senate.


Analysis and dissection of the i'll
strument, initiated and 20. KID" by
the United States, Great Britain,
France and japan up to date have
not resulted in definite conclusions.
A rather intimate canvass OF the
Senate has clearly indicated the ap.
proyal Of it by that body, barring
unexpected complications.
It is foregone conclusion that
consideration Of the new treaty b.
the Senate will not be characterized
by the same division In the two par.
ties as was manifest in the league
fight. The old alignments appear to
have been completely abandoned or
rendered improbable because of the
vast difference between the commit
ments in the league covenant amt
those that feature the new treaty.
The chief difference is that there
Is no Article X" in the last named
instrument. Another is that the
treaty does rot impose any obliga'
tions except that Of passive respeci
for the property OF other nations.
Another is that IL does not tie up
the United States or make II a party
to any disputes beyond adjustment
Of specific undertakings in the Pa
cific. This at least Is the contention
OF the men that helped franc the
Pacific treaty on behalf OF this Gov.
ernment.

Question Raised by Japanese.

Pacific Notifications. as THE NEW
YORK HERALD predicted they would. The
matter was brought up by Admiral
Baron Kato. the Japanese Minister Of

has been dealing with the naval Issues.
lie made II plain that Japan was con-
cerned about the American activities In
the different Pacific possessions. espe-
clally at Guam. where work is going
forward for naval base.
The American delegation explained
that conditions in the Far East, having
been unsatisfactory for a long time. had
compelled the American navy 10 consider
the important question of Notifications
and naval bases as a means of de-
fence. and not OF offence. Suo;i nctivi-
ties as are going on, II was explained.
have been entirely for tho protection Of
the Philippines and the other American
possessions In the Far East.
The general discussion of the ques-
tion resulted In an understanding that
since the two nations seemed willing
to enter into q treaty respecting each
others territorial possessions and also
treaty for the limitation Of navies
further development of fortifications on
either side was unnecessary.
While official word OH the subject is
not forthcoming at this time. II is under
stood that the American policy will be
announced later, that such activities as
are going forward in this way are to
be stopped. The chief activities are at
Guam, where the United States has been
developing q naval base for use in an
emergency.
