White Led by Edge
BY GEORGE II. MANNING

Washington Correspondents Even
ing News)
WASHINGTON, March 2:-After
a lively and at times acrimonious
debate lasting from 10 o'clock in
the morning until almost midnight
over Americas future naval policy
and international disarmament, the
senate last night unanimously
adopted the amendment of Senator
Walter L. Edge, of New Jersey, to
the naval appropriation bill direct
ing the President to call a confer
ence of representatives of the United
States. Great Britain and Japan to
discuss an agreement concerning
naval disarmament.
Fifty-eight senators voted for the
Edge amendment. none against, and
thirty eight did not vote. Senators
Edge and Frelinghuysen voted for
it.
The Edge amendment embodied
in part the disarmament proposal of
Senator Borah which has given
every indication of tieing up all
business in the senate since Senators
Borah and King gave practical no.
tice that they would block all busi-
ness unless some plan for naval dis
armament was agreed upon.
Senator Edge made several speech
es during the day advocating adop-
ton of his amendment as step
that would smooth the troubled
waters in the senate, would bring
about better international relations
between the maritime nations and
offered a. means for checking enor-
nous expenditures on the American
navy with resultant heavy taxation.
He offered his amendment also he
said because business was blocked in
the senate and he delivered a
straight out vote on the question
would satisfy everybody and result
in enormous benefits for the Ameri-
can people and be another step to-
wards world peace.
The Edge amendment got many
votes that the Borah amendment
would not have received owing TO
Boraf's obstructive and irrita1 ling
tactics and proved a happy solution
of the problem that had occupied
most of the time of the senate for
the past three weeks.

cd in the reply of the council OF the
league to the American note. The
text of the-rcply was made public
today.
THAT ALLEGATION was made by the
supreme council OF the allies, but
the council invites the United States
to be represented at the meeting of
the council in May or June when the
other classes of mandates are to be
taken up for final decision. The coun-
Gil expresses satisfaction in the In
terest shown by the United States
government in the question of man

felt TO be among the most important
and also the most difficult.
THE council" it adds. mot only
welcomes but feels justified in claim
ing sympathy and support of the
government which devised the
scheme the council is required to
administer"
Regarding the fundamental con-
tention of the American government
that the approval of the United
States is essential TO the validity of
any determination respecting man
dates. the note says the rights which
the United States acquired as one OF
the leading actors in the war and in
peace negotiations is not likely to be
challenged in any quarter. 1t points
out how the situation is complicated
by the fact that the United States
has not ratified the treaty and has
not taken a seat in the council of
