Upon Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
chairman of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee, and the bitter foe OF
the League of Nations, evolved the
duty of making the momentous an
nouncement to the fourth plenary ses-
sion Of the conference.
Only 400 Words In Treaty.
Senator Lodge called attention to
the extreme simplicity OF the treaty,
which contains only approximately
400 words.
He also called attention specifically
to the fact that there is no provision
in the document which pledges the
powers concerned to go to each
others aid with armies and navies II
they should be attacked.
It was such provision as that
contained In the famous Article X OF
the League of Nations covenant
which caused the Indignation OF the
Senate to be directed against the
covenant to the final result that 1t
was rejected by the Senate.
The treaty merely provides, Senator
Lodge pointed out, that II one OF tne
powers Is attacked, the others Will
Communicate with each other fully
and frankly in order to arrive at an
understanding as to the most efficient
measures to be taken"
The United States entered upon the
agreement with but one reservation.
That is that the negotiations now
being conducted privately between
Japan and the United States over
the question Of zap and other man
dated islands Of the Pacific. south
Of the equator, are successfully con-
cluded.

versations are not saus1actorily

He declared, however, that they are
| almost concluded" and the fact that
the United States publicly announced
it's participation in the treaty was in
itself taken to mean that no fear is
felt on this score.
Ratification Thought Certain.
The fact that Senator Lodge him
self, chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. and
majority leader of the Senate, an
nounced the completion of the treaty
was regarded as an "adroit move on
the part of the Administration to
allay Senatorial opposition. That 1t
will be ratified by the Senate-prob-
ably next week-is virtually certain.
Senator Lodge was roundly ap-
plauded by the crowded galleries.

incisive tones which he has so often
