G ENATOR HIRAM JOHNSON in an
- address in San Francisco set forth
in considerable detail his objections to
the Pacific peace treaty agreed to by
the arms conference. He especially
dislikes Article 2, which he thinks as
bad as Article 10 Of the League of
Nations. Senator McNary of Oregon
thinks the treaty offers a fine chance

he will offer this reservation:
"The United States agrees within
two years to grant complete independ-
ence to the people of the Philippine
islands, provided the high contracting
parties will obligate themselves to re-
spect the political independence and
territorial integrity Of the Philippine
nation"
