TREATY RATIFICATION
PROGRAM IN TANGLE
Opponents Question Validity of Four
Power Pact Passage; May
Force Reconsideration.

Washington.-The four-power PACING
treaty and It's two supplements got
into such a mixup in the senate Satur-
day that the administration ratification
program temporarily was tied in a
knot and the leaders hurried into con
ference TO draw up a new plan OF
campaign.
Challenging the validity of Fridays
action by which the four-power pact
itself was ratified. opponents of the
treaty suggested the vote be reconsid-
cred so that ratification could include
the supplementary i~nterpretatiye
agreement signed by the plenipoten-
tiaries at the same time.
AT first the administration leaders
refused TO recognize any merit TN the
suggestion. but after several confer
ences they decided that some further
action was advisable. Most of them
opposed the reconsideration plan. pro-
posing instead a-separate ratification
vote on the supplement. Such a sep
arate@ resolution of ratification was
In process OF drafting when the senate
adjourned over Sunday.
Throughout the days debate the
treaty opponents sought 10 give point
to their arguments by emphasizing that
the supplement deals with issues.
which long have been sources of fric-
ton between the United States and
Japan. II declares 1t to be the under
standing of the stgnatories that the
treaty shall apply to inundated islands
In the Pacific and that purely domestic
questions shall not be brought before

sfderatlon and adjustment"
Many times in the debate the ques-
tfon OF Japanese immigration into h
United States was mentioned ae n
domestic American question which
might be a fruitful source of trouble,
on both sides agreeing that
doubt ought TO be left that the
American government retains full
power to deal with the subtect as II
1T. Those who asked for a recon
commended that unless the
validity of the supplement were -es
tabIished clearly Japan might claim
privilege of referring the whole
immigration problem Of the Pacific
to a meeting of the powers.
