GEDDES DENIES HE SAID FOUR POWER PACIFIC PACT INVERTED IMMINENT WAR
By Associated Press

Oakland, Mach l9.-Sir AucklAno Geddes, British ambassador. today formally denied that he had ever said the four-power Pacifics treaty had averted an imminent war, as had been reported in versions of an address he made in Los Angeles, recently dis- cussed in the Senate.
 Sir Auckland said that as soon as he arrived here today on his series of visits to Pacific coast cities he instructed his secretary to prepare a telegram denying that he had men, tioned an imminent war"
 The telegram. he said, would be sent immediately to the British em- bassy at Washington. It reads:
 san Francisco papers report this morning that British ambassador has been quoted as saying in speech delivered at Los Angeles that the four-power treaty averted an immi- nent war in the Pacific. The ambas- sador categorically denies that any such statement was made by him either in public utterance or pri- vate conversation"
 His remarks In Los Angeles in an address at the city club, he said, were extemporaneous and dealt with world conditions in general, according praise to President Harding for call ing together the nations of the world
 -"I did not say anything that has not been said hundred times be. fore" Sir Auckland stated.

Threatened Strike Causes Increase m
 Production of Coal
By Associated Press

Washington March 19-Production of bituminous coal in the United States, stimulated by the possibility of strike on or after April l. is climbing upward to levels never sur passed except during the peak of the war boom and the following indus trial expansion, according to esti- mates issued today by the geological survey. During the week ended March II, the output of reporting mines was 1105s.0 .000 tons, or 4100,- 900 more tons than were mined in the same week of the previous year, and only 100000 less than greeatest total ever mined in a similar period.
 Rail road car loadings reported for Monday and Tuesday of the following week indicated. the survey said. that production was going still higher. The total Is now much above con sumption" it was declared. and the excess is largely being accom- modated in storage by consumers. :" Exact estimates of the, amount in storage were not available now, it was added but since January 1, when about 55000,000 tons were on hand. stocks have increased every week

SENATE TOACCEPT
 POWER PACT.
 G|LLETT ASSERTS
Force of Public Opinion Will Overcome Partisanship, the Speaker of the House
 Declares at Springfield
By Aesociated Press

Springfield, Mass, March 1s.-
 Power of public opinion despite the
 stubborn opposition of partisanship,
 Jealousy and peryersity." will dom-
 mate the United States Senate and
 secure the ratification of the treaties which resulted from the conference
 on limitation Of armament, declared Speaker Frederick 1T. Gillett of the
 House of Representatives, in an ad- dress here today.
 He attributed much of the success of the conference to public opinion and asserted thaat because of It's ] power there was great assurance of
 peace for the future. The speaker
 said thast he believed the condition
 of China is really the key to the problems of the Pacific.
 Japan and the United States. he said, are the two great powers which
 have emerged from the war with un- questioned solvency and with the | financial ability to continue on a l large scale equipment for war. These | two powers he added, "have in the Pacific treaty Joined with England l and France in an agreement that they will not go to war with each other without mutual conference and | discussion and have put an end to 1 the English Japanese treaty, which was a war measure"
 This, in his opinion, he said was
 ono of the outstanding features of
 the conference.
 "I believe" he said, "the best hope for the world in the present precari-
 ous conditions when government
 everywhere seems subjected to per
 ilous strain, is for us to protect and
 advance our own civilization and
 establish firmly one resting place where the dove of peace may with safety alight. The struggle against war, against bolshevism, against in- solvency is everywhere so dubious, even in our own country, that we have ample occupation for all our
 energy in establishing society at home"

RESERVATIONS WILL
 BE STORM CENTERS
 OF TREATY BATTLE
CContinued From Page one)

tions at all to the four power treaty argue that the wish of President Harding for an unreserved ratifica- tion should be fulfilled If possible and declare they have made a can vass of sentiment showing that 1t Is possible. But they concede the mar gin would be very narrow one. and they have agreed to support the reservation If in the end 1t still seems necessary to make a two-thirds rat ification vote.
 The group of Versailles "1rrecon- cilables" willing to take the four power treaty with tho mo alliance" reservation has had for its prin- cipal spokesman thus far Senator Brandgee, republican. Connecticut, who drew the reservation as well as the original blanket declaration now revived by Senator Johnson.

 Some sharp debate Is expected over the original Brandegee reservation when Senator Johnson calls 1t up for action. Mir. Johnson expects to ask for an explanation why those who had sponsored, the reservation in committee withdrew it after con ferences with President Harding
 The proposal to include outside powers in Pacific "oonferences" un- der the treaty mas been voted down in various other forms three times during the past week, but its pro- ponents are drafting what they call a compromise reservation which they believe may attract the support of some of those who were recorded against similar propositions on pre- vious roll calls. Administration leaders, however, insist there Is no possibility that the reservations should be accepted,
