The President is confronted by "a

Is strongly against any reservations ~

TWO RESERVATIONS TO Fot, POWER TREATY ARE MADE
 PUBLIC BY ARkANSAH
ARE FIRST RESERVATION
Senator Robinson Would Prevent s. natory Powers From Entering is to Secret Agreements With
 Nations Concerned,

Washington, b. C.-Senator ROha son of Arkansas has made publc ts reservations to the four power treas which he announced he would form, ly propose at the first oppurtunjn These are the first reservations sE be offered outside the Fordney Rel tlons Committee,
 The first reservation would provs that all powers claiming an interpq in any controversy arising in the P eifie should be admitted by the s, natory nations to the resulting couie ence.
 The second would declare that Sla| United States understands that eas of the high contracting parties gill ttl frain from entering into any secTs| treaty agreement or understandiu.l with any other power or powers du, ing the life Of this treaty"
 The conviction is quite general the senator said, in commenting upa the latter proposed reservation. 'tls. secret understanding or arrangement between nations have been respons ible for many conflicts which msst have been avoided but for them. Put licity is a wholesome remedy fer ns preventing of intrigues and anias. ness in international affaiFz Tn conclusion now is quite generally as eepted, although 1t is slow Co fecsia l practical recognition among aigk mats.
 The real discussion and Hora < the Washington conference vas k hind closed doors. despite the alnax universal public demand in the unlsz. 1 States that the disarmament ena.s enee should conduct it's business Bas licly.
 Tn addition to general rsasta. which make publicity desirable s speeting international agreemef, many reasons exist why the Bnlll States should insist that other q tions signing the four.power trealI should deal frankly, not oniy auoEl themselves but with every other pow CT This will tend to prevent sgfes sion by one nation against saa'aeE and combinations on the part q riSa powers against the political ntefs' of the United States.
 The first reservation which tae A kansas senator intends to pf8Po. reads as follows
 "The United States undsrssars that each of the high contracting "a ties will respect the rights and Fdss sions of all other nations and feirl from all acts of aggression agala any other power or powers

 An official of the association, ad- dressing this meeting, told the busi- ness men that the farmers are meet ng their obligations as rapidly as hey could. He pleaded with his lis eners to forego the posters and dis Jay advertising and assist the farm. ITS in getting money with which they could pay
 This meeting adjourned without taking action, but another mass meet Ing, called two days later, voted unan fmously in favor of the organization of trust company, and instructed the Board Of Governors of the Chamber oi Commerce te cooperate with the Rice Growers Association in putting il over.

 Mr. Harding, however, emphatleatiy assured the. senate that there were no concealed understandings and no se- cret exchanges of notes. But the IF reconcilable' senators are Dot satis- fled and insist that ratification must be hedged about with considerable reservation. Although President Hur- ding adhered To his position that no reservation was necessary, the foreign relations committee Was informed ihat he would not object 10 the one offered by Senator Brandegee fl it was deemed best thus 10 facilitate ratification. This reservation reads:
 "The United States understands that it assumes no obligation either legal or moral, 10 maintain the rights in relation to the insular possessions or insular dominions of any of the other high contracting parties and that the consent Of the congress If the United States shall be necessary 10 any adjustments or understandings under articles one and two by which the United States Is 10 he bound in any way and that there is no obIiEa- tlon either legal or moral 10 give saeh consent.
 Naturally, Senator Johnson of Gafi- forufa was not satisfied even with this, and he offered another more drastic reservation. But the administration senators said the Brandegee resolution was as far as they would consent to go, and the "stalWarts,a like Kellogg and New, didn't want to make any con sessions 1t all. Then Senator Lodge. after couferring with the President offered substitute reservation safe guarding congressional authority over the Use of armed force This vas not liked by the m8re radical members.
