.SCRAPP|NC SHIPS
MEETS OBJECTION
FROM CT, BRITAIN
England Wants to Keep Pro
scribed Naval Craft Intact
for Training.

Washington, Jan. 11.-(By The As
sociated Press.}-The big five" made
further progress Wednesday in their
final revision of the naval treaty. but
encountered a difference of opinion
when they came to lay down rules for
the scrapping Of prescribed battleships
For the American delegation, it was
proposed that the surplus vessels be
rendered useless. France readily sup
ported that view, with Italy indicating
similar attitude. Great Britain and
Japan withheld assent. however, the
suggestion being made that the dis
mantled ships might be used as harbor
guards or training vessels. When the
five delegation heads adjourned after
several hours Of debate, the question
remained unsettled and will be taken up
again Thursday. During their two ses-
sions, however, they had completed ap-
proval of the first of the treaty an
nexes, embodying replacement chart.
and they expressed hope that all five
annexes might be disposed of Thursday
or Friday.
Wednesdays differences over meth
DDS of scrapping apparently were re-
garded by all the delegates as inter
posing no serious barriers to an agree
ment. The American view was said to
be that use of the abandoned warships
as harbor station ships or for gunner
training would not accord with the
scrapping agreement, since it would
in measure, permit the vessels to
continue as naval units. To this other
delegations countered with the argu-
ment that absolute scrapping would
mean n useless financial waste, but
there was no indication that the argu-
ment had developed any evidence of in
sis1ence by either side. ....
All questions involved in the annex
in fact, were declared to be merely
collateral and temporary.

Washington Jan. 11.-The fight in
the senate over the right of Truman
II. Newberry, republican. Of Michigan,
to a seat, continued Wednesday and
when the session ended at night, pre-
dictions of the outcome generally were
held in allegiance, so uncertain has the
result become. 1t was agreed among
leaders that the outcome rested in the
final position to be taken by fewer
than half a dozen senator's, whose at
titude has not been disclosed.
Hopes for vote were dashed by last
minute demands of senator's desiring
more time to speak.
The introduction of two new resolu-
tons dealing with Mr.. Newberry's
right to seat also complicated efforts
to bring the controversy to close.
The resolutions-both to declare the
seat vacant-were by Senator Owen
of Oklahoma. and Senator Walsh, of

ment with Great Britain involving the
German reparations question. The

the proposed pact with Great Britain

approval of the French parliament.
The message was an embodime ent of a
resolution adopted unanimously by .,3

to the parliament not to consent to
further sacrifice.
A more drastic motion was prepared

NJ Poincare's telegram directed that
the general sentiment of the senate
called for the following general dec

First-The economic and financial
reconstruction of France is essential to
the reconstruction of Europe.
Second-The reparations due France
should not be changed. there must be
no reduction or modification of the
previous schedule of May and Bel
gian priority should not be touched.
Third-France cannot accept the
proposition to attend the Forthcoming
Genoa conference unless she is given
definite and effective assurances that
her rights will be respected.
Fourth-The Franco-British pact
should above all conform the guaran-
tees and methods of execution and the
securities France now holds under the
peace treaties, or will hold under flu
ture accords.
The fourth point enumerated was
generally interpreted to mean that
France reserves the right to physically
enforce the terms of the treaty OF
