By the Associated Press.
The fpur-power Pacific treaty to
which the Senate gave its approval
yesterday has still to run the CANT
let of another legislative body.
Diplomatic representative of the
four powers in Washington have
been keeping their home govern
ments closely advised of every de-
velopment in the contest over the
pact in the United States Senate.
Without any formal admission on
that point, it has been tacity under
stood in diplomatic circles here that
because of the genuine doubt that ex-
listed up to the last moment as to the
fate of the treaty in the Senate, some
of these diplomatic representatives
have rather advised their govern
ments that it might be well to defer
their own action on the theaty pend
ing developments in Washington.
The British government, ii it fol-
lows the ordinary course. can give
its assent to the treaty. without
reference to parliament. by a mere
order in privy council. The japanese
government is clothed with similar
power, for the ratification of that
country maybe given by the council
of peers, a very limited body of high
officials.
The action to be taken by the
French chambers is more doubtful,
and yesterdays fiery debate in that
body on the basis of a mere refer
ence to the Washington treaty is re-
garded by some of the officials here
as warranting the closest study OF
the situation in Paris.
There have been some suggestions
in diplomatic quarters here that
while the French government will
eventually give its approval to the
treaties of Washington as a whole, it
would not be surprising il serious at
tempts were made to place reserva-
tions and even amendments upon
them. The action of the American
Senate in adopting the Brandegee
reservation is referred to in diplo-
matte circles here acquainted with
the French viewpoint. as likely to be
seized upon by some of the elements
in Paris as a warrant for attaching
further reservations to one or more
of the treaties. if for no other pur-
pose than to make it manifest to the
world that France claims all of the
privileges of any other nation in the
construction of treaties to which she
is party.

Of PACT
HAS WORLD EFFECT
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Ratification of the four-power treaty
abolishing the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance, on the one hand, and formally
placing the United States in the Pa
cific league Of nations has given de-
cided impetus to the growing move
ment for more international cooper
alton instead of national isolation.
The group in the American Senate
which has insisted that the United
States could get along without po-
litical involvement with other nations
was found to be less than one-third,
SO that President Harding now can
count upon a two-thirds vote in any
proposals he may make for closer
understanding with other nations.
The four-power treaty vote is a big
precedent. Democrats and republi-
cans who voted for it cannot consist
emily change their positions when Mr..
Harding, for example, proposes that
the United States become a member
of the reparations commission to
safeguard American rights in Eu-
rope. The vote in favor of American
cooperation in questions arising
1000 miles away from one coast line
is considered ample justification for
a similar vote in favor of co-opera-
ton in maintaining American rights
5000 miles from the other coast line
So the republicans are happy that
they have put through the first big
treaty of worldwide import. and the
democrats are secretly joyful that the
republicans have become committed
to international cooperation as def
nitely as the phraseology of the four
power treaty indicates.
The Harding administration stands
today encouraged by the action of the
Senate. More international co-opera-
ton Is inevitable, and, judging by
significant statements made here and
there in official quarters, the United
States government will, from now
on, assert itself affirmatively in world
affairs.

URGES MARYLAND
TO ASK D. c. VOTE
Arthur C. Keefer introduces
Joint Resolution to Congress
in House of Delegates.

Declaring that the residents Of the
District have constitutional right
to take part in the affairs Of the ma
Of Prince Georges county introduced
in the Maryland house of delegates
yesterday joint resolution to Con-
gress petitioning that body to grant
the right of suffrage to the citizens
of the National Capitak Delegate
keefer practices law in Washington
and is intensely interested in the
affairs OF the National Capital.
Suggests state or Suffrage.
The resolution asks that Congress
create a state out of the District or
to grant suffrage to its residents in
any other feasible manner. 1t also
contains an invitation, in that it pro-
vides that If Congress does not see Mt
to give the residents Of the District
the right of suffrage then the state
of Maryland will be willing to take
back the territory and give the Dis
trict citizens the privilege of exer-
cising their voice in governmental
affairs, and at the same time allow
ing Congress to retain Its control
over the government buildings.
Explaining his reasons for intro
ducing the resolution, Mr.. Keefer said
that Maryland bears closer relation
to the District than any other state.
When Maryland ceded a part of its
territory to the District, he said, 1t
was assumed at that time that the
inhabitants here would have voting
rights, and all other privileges and
duties of the citizens of the mother
state.
situation Seems Unjust.
Having in mind the intention of
Maryland that the residents of the
territory which she gave to the ma
ton should always have the privilege
of carrying out their obligations and
assisting in the betterment Of the
state and nation, and the fact that all
citizens should be entitled to a voice
in the government" said Mr.. Keefer,
at seems now somewhat unjust that
such a large number of persons
should be refused their right of suf-
frage, and for the aforesaid reasons
-Maryland-should indorse a
resolution asking that the citizens of
the District be given their suffrage"
Mr.. Keefer said, he felt confident
that the Maryland legislature and
governor will heartily indorse the
suffrage resolution and will advance
all steps possible to secure voting
rights for the residents of the Ma
tional Capital.

Hollis in the French courts within the

Mr.. Moore said the stateOents is

day through counsel at Concord. n.
H., in which she declared she had not
been divorced from the former sena-

on the grounds Of desertion and
"other allegations permitted to be

The decree. he declared, had been

Mr.. Hollis is a noted international

said, and he made thorough inquiry

to jeopardize the position of his sec

"The question of bigamy laws is to
