NEW PACIFIC PACT
BITTERLY OPPOSED
BY LA TOILETTE
Has All of Iniquities and None
of the Virtues Of League,
He Says.
TO FIGHT RATIFICATION

By Associated Press TO Every Evening.
Washington. Dec. 13.--Deciaring
that the new -Four Power Pacific
Treaty had "au Of the inquiries Of
tho League of Nations with none OF
the virtues claimed for that docu-
ment." Senator La Toilette, Hepubli-
can Wisconsin. today announced in
q formal statement he was prepared
to do "ail in my power 70 prevent its
ratification
Mr.. IL Toilette declared the docu-
nent, as 8. 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
powers under the Treaty Of Yer
sailles." which territory, he added, was
divided in accordance with n secret
treaty negotiated between Great
Britain and Japan prior 10 America s
entrance into the world war.
Under the cloak Of Il conference
made possible by a world wide senti-
ment for disarmament" the senator
continued. the diplomats, represent
ing reActionary sentiment IN Great
Britain, Japan. France and the United
States have patcired in secret a treaty
of alliance which morally binds this
country TO go to war whenever the
rights OF either of the high contract
ing parties in the Pacific are threaten
ed.
For the United States TO enter ST
alliance with the only great imperial
list nations which survived the war. is
a rash substitute for the peaceful,
anti-imperialist American policy, test
ed by n century and a quarter. and
based upon friendship with all nations
and entangling alliances with none.
Article of the Pacific Treaty was
described by the Wisconsin senator
as "a half brother" OF Article Y, of the
League OF Nations covenant and as
binding upon the United States as it
is possible to bind a country BY treaty
agreement 10 participate in whatever
efficient measures may be deemed
necessary by the powers party 10 the
treaty.
This treaty viii no more prevent
war than aid the alliances cOnsum-
mated prior to 1914" the senator said.
ut will provoke rather thap prevent
war, and when we ratify it we morally
bind this country in advance 70 par
ticipate in any hostilities which may
arise in the Pacific where imperiahstic
interests are in NOSE heated conficl."
Mr.. La Toilette predicted defeat OF
the treaty. saying it was inconceiv-
able 10 him that the Senate should

Washington Dee. lS.--Shal theI
submarine be abolished? This Is the
question which will confront the Con-
ference after the naval ratio is form
ally accepted.
According to the Hughes proposals,
the United States and Great Britain
will have more submarines than thu,
last named country thinks any civil
lied nation should have. Mr.. Balfour
the British leader, has spoken quite
plainly on this subject. He knows how
near England came to starvation dur
ing the World War; he knows that
even today there is only about an
eight weeks good supply back home. -
that. in fact, there is not always that
amount. The submarine could defeat
England when nothing else could.
The United States looks with com
parative favor upon the undersea
weapon. This country ha. an enormous
coastline TO protect. Submarines might
come in handy if any nation ever vio-
submarine is not as expensive as the
capital ship. though that advantage
has this corollary--it ia more difficult 10
train crews for the smaller vessel. a
capital ship may be manned in short
order. 1t takes time to develop a sub
marine crew.
Senator Borah believes that the sub
marine should be abolished But the
good Senator is not a member of the
American delegation to the Confer
ence. True. his voice carries rather
far when he speaks ':on the hill" I
expect that 1t was heard yesterday. 4
healthy sentiment against the use o.
the submarine may develop in the
United States. But it will ;vail little.
Mr.. Hughes has mapped out his pro-
gram. and he will not deviate from il.
Americas Secretary of State has be-
come as firm as Gibraltar's Rock, and
before this Conference is over he may
become almost as well known. Great
Britain may demand the abolishment
OF all submarines. The United States
