Senase Opponents Abandon
Plans for Prolonged Fight

OFFER NEW AMENDMENT
Further Reservation to Pacific

Shields and Johnson.

WASHINGTON. March 15.-Op-
ponents of the four-power Pacific
treaty in the senate Wednesday
abandoned all plans for prolonged
fight against ratification and accept
ed a unanimous consent agreement
10 limit debate and TO take a final
vote on Friday March "a.
The agreement. which was hailed
by admins ration leaders as a GER
tain indication that ratification is
assured, was proposed on the senate
floor after a series of conferences
among the various senate elements
and was accepted virtually without
debate. II provides that no further
reservations or amendments shall
be voted on until next Tuesday, that
speeches on the treaty shall be linn
tied to one hour and those on res
ervations 10 80 minutes each begin
ming Wednesday. and that final vote
shall be taken without debate as
soon as the senate convenes on the
following Friday.
Third Vote Brings Crisis.
Negotiations to bring the ratifica-
tic1 fight to an end began after the
senate had refused for the third
time to amend the treaty so that
outside powers would be called into
conversation when any Pacific con-
troversies touches their interest. An
amendment for that purpose in a
form differing slightly from the two
voted down yesterday was presented
by Sen. Pittman. democrat, Nevada,
and was defeated % TO so with the
division OF strength virtually coin
Gliding with party lines.
Little running debate developed
over the amendment or the treaty
generally, although late in the day
/ Sen. Spencer, republican, Missouri,
a treaty supporter, stirred up a
/ cross fire of discussion by assailing
/ the mo alliance" reservation of the
( foreign relations committee He de-

urged by Sen. Ransdell, democrat,

made by Sen. Pittman, and an at
tack on Irish American influences
/ against the four power pact was
made by Sen. Williams, democrat,
Mississippi.
Meantime two new reservations
and one more amendment were Of
fered for later consideration. One
of the reservations was put in by
Sen. Johnson, republican, California,
and embodied the language of the
( reservation which had been present
ed by Sen. Brandegee republican,
Connecticut. which had been pre-
scented in the foreign relations COM
mittee but amended by him after a
I conference with Pres't Harding. The
other reservation was made by Sen.
