PRESIDENT NOD|F|ES STAND
UPON PACIFIC PACT PROV|SO
Brandegee and Harding Reservations Boiled
Into Compromise, but Third Faction, of
Irreconcilables, Refuses Assent.

Washington. Feb. PA modified
blanket reservation to the fOur-poWer
Pacific treaty said to be satisfactory
both to President Harding and to g
majority of the members of the SEN
ate foreign relations committee was
debated by the committee Friday and
an agreement reached to vote on the
treaty itself and all proposed reserva-
tions at Saturdays session.
The new reservation was laid before
the committee by Senator Brandegee,
republican, Connecticut. after a con-
ference with President Harding. The
Connecticut senator was said not to
have reported il as embodying the
president s views. but the understand
ing of committee members was that it
would be acceptable to the White
House.
No Alliance to Use Force
The text of the reservation follows:
The United States understands that
under the statement in the preamble
or under the terms of this treaty there
is no commitment to armed force, no
alliance. no obligation to join i'll any
defense.
Although apparently acceptable to
most of the republican and democratic
rpSpfFatlOnfStS on IHt committee. tDe
reservation. according to the discussion
will not receive unanimous committee
approval Senator Johnson. republi
can, California. was said to have
shown opposition during the meeting
and it was generally expected that
Senator Borah. republican Idaho, who
was absent. would take similar posi-
ton.
Preamble Exceeds Treaty Terms
The compromise reservation is more
direct and shorter than the original
Brandegee blanket proposal to which
a majority of the committee members
had indicated their prefer
ence. Under the original reservation
the United States would have set
forth in detail that it was to assume
no moral or legal obligation under
the treaty or any adjustments result
ing from it, without the consent of
congress-
Particular reference to the pream-
BILE of the treaty is said to have been
made in the new draft, because the
preamble states that the agreement is
made with a view to the preservation
Of the general peace and maintenance
of the right of the signatory powers.
The word maintenance does not ap-
pear, however, among the commit
ments of the treaty proper.
