! feet will be the small financial one to
ourselves.'
The Americans are much more hope
ful than the British OF real results
growing out Of such an agreement.
One of the American spokesmen to-
night pointed to the agreement not to
k,il prisoners captured in war, which
no nation dares violate. To this the
British retort that there is never any
| tremendous gain to be made by a
nation by such an action AS killing
! prisoners, and that the temptation to
do thing becomes stronger not SO
! much because of such q motive as hate,
but because the committing of the
! crime would appear to give the nation
! doing the thing chance to win the
war. This was the argument used by
the Germans in justifying the use of
| poison gas and unrestricted submarine
warfare.
! Incidentally the British think the
| French have protested so much about
their need for the submarine as de-
fensive weapon against attacking
fleets. and have so vigorously denied
| their intention ever to use 1t against
merchant ships, that they will scarcely
/ dare face the world with refusal to
agree not to attack the merchant ships
of the other four nations III the arma-
| ment limitation conference. 1t is on
this, rather than on the single speech
of NJ. Sarraut to-day, that they base
their optimism as to what the French
| will do.
There is no doubt tonight that the
French will face another storm Of hos
! tile criticism if they should follow
their action with regard to land arma-
ments, submarines, auxiliary craft and
airplanes, not to mention their CAPT
tai ship fight and the fact that they
will smash the naval holiday idea by
building big ships during it, by re
| fusal to join in this proposed agree
ment not to attack merchant ships
with submarines.
But the best opinion is that the
French are being governed by an en-
tirely different set of values, and that
| the prospect of further incensing Amer
lean public opinion will not worry them
at all if they think they can strengthen
the hand they are playing with the
British with regard to German sspara-
tions.

against it.
Strong reason exists for the belief
that in addition to q movement among
the Wilson Senators to organize Senate
strength against the treaty there is q
movement to organize old followers Of
Mr.. Wilson among the voters to back
up this opposition.
Modification on Japan
Virtually no doubt is left that there
will be enough Democratic opposition
to the treaty, along with the limited
Republican opposition, to cause a pro
ionged debate. Republican leaders said
to-day there was no indication OF
enough Republicans joining the Demo
Gratis to defeat the treaty.
Senators who are IN closest touch
with the American delegation are salts.
fed the treaty will be modified to ex-
clude Japan proper. They have been
advised this probably will be done ir
the conference and that it will be done
by reservation. Senator McNary, OF
Oregon, Republican, announced that he
would offer reservation on this point
provided the treaty was not clarified
in this respect before it came to the
floor Of the Senate.
Failure of the conference to reach
an agreement to curb the submarine
| was the subject of much talk about the
Senate to-day, but most of it was not
for publication. Senator Page, chair
man of the Naval Affairs Committee
declined TO comment. He is in sym
pathy with the movement to limit sub
marine tonnage and is hopeful that {
way will yet be found to bring thi.
about.
Senator King, of Utah, Democrat
charged the conference was already
monumental failure" and made !
statement OF some length to supper
this view.
Senator Fletcher, Of Florida, Demo
crat, said he saw no good reason VIII!

SCHENECTADY, N. T.. Dec. 20
Ratification by the United States Sen
ate of the four-power treaty relative
to insular possessions in the Pacific
was predicted by Senator William M.
Calder in an address before the Rotary
Club here to-day. Senator Calder
said, however, that amendments or
reservations to the pact possibly might
be made before consideration Of it in
the upper house Of Congress was com
pleted
Briefly outlining the problems now
before Congress and the Administra-
ton, the speaker declared reduction

low s3,500,O0o,0 600 would be Gigantic
task" until the country's war debt was
iquidated Senator Calder said he
favored an adjustment of the debt
owed this country by foreign nations,
but added
at is impossible to expect these ma
tions to pay at once, and to attempt to
force them to do so would not only
fail Of the purpose. but would encour-
age an unfriendly relationship which
would be entirely unnecessary, and
which probably would not be overcome
in many years.

Indirect Action, He Tells
Columbia Alumni

Professor Franklin H. Giddings,
speaking yesterday at the thirteenth
annual holiday luncheon Of Columbia
alumni ct the Columbia University
Club, West Forty-third Street, said
that people of the country should be
thankful for the tendency under
American leadership at Washington to-
ward "the substitution of indirect
methods of doing things for direct
action" He said that this tendency
appeared TO be leading toward the
abolition of war.
Direct action" he said IS the
method of the few, the method of
sabotage and the striker"
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
the university, told the alumni that
with only forty-eight hours left on the
university's option of large stadium

necessary to realize on the option were

showed that only two out of 65l

ships OF any Of The other four powers
in advance of general agreement
changing international law. While not
advancing any very convincing reason,
the French clearly give the impression
that the real explanation of why they
want to delay is to be found in the dis
scussions over German reparations now
going on between Lloyd George and
BRAND.
The French to-day refused even to
eoneider any limit on aircraft. This is
{ thought to be another indication Of
sheir desire to avoid any agreements
satisfactory to the British which
otherwise they might hold rs clubs
/ over the head of Lloyd George in the
separations negotiations. :
This, however, created very little stir
for the reason that the British them.

reference to the question of ~e-opening

Although the conference is under the
auspices of the French and British
governments, it is understood to be of

dependent upon the attitude of that
country toward restoration of its own
