Wakes Bitter in Denuncia-
ton Of Appointment of En-
voy to Great Britain. .
PLEASED WITH TREATY
fBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi.
charged today in the senate that the
appointment of George Harvey by
President Harding as ambassador to
Great Britain was a reward for his
efforts" to discredit the Wilson ad-
ministration.
The Mississippi senator said Mr..
Harvey's pursuit of Wilson through
his journals and otherwise are only
comparable to Miiton's hell hounds
that were stationed at the gates of tine
internal regions" .:e ADDED that the
ambassador had mo equal as creator
of prejudice and a stirrer OF strife,
and that he was "a yindictive, self
annointed, intolerant, political acci-
dent" -.;-=.--=--.
Senator Harrison said he feared
Colonel Harvey's arrival in London
would cause Great Britain and other
nations to believe that "he will use
whatever influence he may possess
and the power of his position in an
attempt to destroy the league Of
nations"
Pleased With Treaty
Expressions of qualification were
general today in administration cir
cles over what was regarded as sig
nificant test of senate support for ad-
ministration foreign policies in that
body's ratifica ton of the long pending
Colombian treaty. At the close of a
final session of heated debate. the
treaty. which grew out of the parti-
tioning of Panama and provides for
payment by the United States OF
$25. 900 900 to the south American re-
public, was ratified with margin of
IL votes over the necessary two-thirds
majority, Is Republicans and four
Democrats opposing ratification. The
vote was SO to 19.
In rejecting all amendments to the
pact. the senate turned down propos-
ais of Senat tors Poindexter. Repubh-
can, Washington, and Wadsworth. Re-
publican, New York, to restrict the
rights of Colombia under the treaty
as to use Of the Panama canal, and
another amendment offered BY Sen
tor Borah, Republican. Idaho, to in
sert a clause declaring the treaty was
not to be construed as implying the
United States had aided in the Pan
anna revolt. Other amendments de-
feated included that of Senator Rams
dell. Democrat, Louisiana. proposing
an alliance with Colombia and the
cession by that country to the United
States of several islands.
Senate in LulI.
With the senate in lull today after
clearing its program OF the first major
business of the extra session. the
house was prepared to resume debate
on the immigration restriction bill.
with probability Of reaching a final
vote before adjournment. Although a
safe majority was predicted for the
measure. proponents believed 1t would
not be as large as that given in the
last congress.
Probably the next business to come
before the senate, the Knox peace
resolution, was to be taken up today
by the foreign relations committee.
Whether the committee planned to re-
port the resolution out today, how
ever, remained in doubt.
