 Green Ties Appear

WASHINGTON, Mar. IT, Green neckties worn by several represents ttves precipitated So much St. Pat rick's day hilarity in the house today that business was suspended tenn porarily.
 Representatives Kearns, Ohio, and Ramseyer, Iowa, strolled down the center aisle arm in arm, both of their cravats of the most verdant hue. They became the target of so much bantering from their colleagues that members who had the floor could not make themselve heard.
 Acting Speaker Walsh of Massa- chusetts, finally obtained order with the admonitions that celebrations of today can be held better outside the chamber"

tionary definition covering the trea- ty mattered little and the real nature of the four power arrangement must be Judged by its practical operation. MT. Johnson asserted that so far as actual wording went, the Anglo-Jap- anese alliance covered only uupro- voked aggression in eastern Asia and India, and that if 1t really was dan- gerous to the United States, as ar gued by supporters of the four power treaty, the reason lay between the lines. Judged by the same process, he asserted the four power pact might easily lead to many dangers in actual practice.

Pacific Pact Again Attacked
 By Irreconcilables; Friends Of Treaty Argue AmongSelves

WASHINGTON, Mar. 17-Another sustained assault was thrown against the four-power pact treaty by the senate irreconcilables today after the treaty's friends had argued among themselves for an hour as to whether the pact might properly be called an alliance"
 The fight against ratification was carried forward in turn by Senators France, Republican, Maryland; John son, Republican, Republican, Califor- mia, and Watson, Democrat, Georgia, in 8 series of speeches which occu- pied the senate most of the afternoon and which drew no reply from the treaty's supporters. Senator Johnson compared the pact. with the Anglo Japanese alliance in an effort to show that both contain a meaning broader than their words"
 In the course of the debate charges of propaganda" both for and against the treaty, were made by the oppos- ing sides. but no one produced anw direct evidence to support the asser- tions or asked for any investigation of the influences declared to be at work to control the action of the sen- ate.
 The discussion over application of the term alliance" took place largely between Senators Willis, Republican, Ohio, and Spencer, Republican, Mis- souri, both supporters of the treaty. A speech recently made by Senator Spencer declaring the pact to be "an alliance for conference" but not for use of force, was assailed by Senator Willis, wh insisted that no sort of alliance" was contemplated and that the speech of the Missouri sen- ator had embarrassed the treatys friends.
 MT. Spencer stood by his definition and his characterization of the for eign relations committee mo alli- ance" reservation as ridiculous absurdity."
 By Senators France, Johnson and Watson it was declared that the dic-
