MUST Be tanned
Even Republican Senators Join
Anti-FOur-Pact Forces.
Pacific Coast Solons Demand
Reservations by U. S..

Washington. dec. determination
scope of the four-power Pacific treaty
before its ratification by the senate
was declared today by Republican
leaders to be practically certain.
Senator Jones' Republican, of Wash
ington, said he thought the growing
opposition TO the application of the
term "insular dominions'' in article 1,
ITO Japan proper. could easily be met
by the adoption of a reservation stip-
ulating that the term was not to be
SO construed.
Favor the Pact But
Jones explained that he is favorably
disposed toward the treaty and that
he would support such a reservation
if the senate were. called upon to
pass it.
It was understood that Senator
Poindexter. Republican, of Washing
ton, who declared for the treaty be-
fore he returned to his home at Spo-
kane recently, had communicated
with some of his senatorial colleagues
to the effect that he did not construe
the treaty as binding the United States
to help preserve the territorial and
political Integrity of Japanese do
minions" or Possessions in the Pa
cific
Republican leaders predicted that
Poindexter would vote for ratification,
as he announced his intention of do
ing before a difference of opinion
arose between the White House and
the state department as to the mean
ing of article 7.
Pacific Senators Oppose.
Other Republican senators from the
Pacific coast and other western states
are known, however, to share the view
that article II involves the United
States more deeply with Japan than
article 1 and they will support reserv-
ations which will state specifically
what the relation of the United States
and Japan are to be under the terms
Of the treaty.
1t is also learned the Republican
leaders have been advised that Japan,
while opposed to the inclusion of the
Japanese homeland in article I has
suggested that the state department
arrange for its exclusion, as its in
clusion was originally agreed upon
Balfour, head of the British delega-
ton to the armament conference,
after being objected to by Japan in
the first place.
Reservation Is Certain.
Negotiations between Secretary
Hughes and Baron Shidehara, the
Japanese ambassador at Washington,
LOT the exclusion OF the Japanese
homeland from the meaning of article
L are understood to have reached the
stage of an exchange of notes between
the American and Japanese govern
ments on the subject.
The Republican leaders, seeking to
lessen senatorial opposition to the
treaty, declared-they were hopeful
that the Objectionable provision would
be wiped from the treaty, with
reservation, at least, before its sub
mission to the senate.
