Washington--Senate debate on the
four-power Pacific treaty touched IT,
high water mark OF bitterness In an
exchange resulting from suggestions
Of Q secret British American under
standing for future cooperation.
Aroused by recurring references to
such an international understanding
after it, existence had been directly
denied, Senator Lodge Of Massachu-
sets. the Republican leader and
member Of the American arms delega-
ton, took the floor and in . voice
shaken by emotion declared he could
no longer be patient under attacks
which seemed to question his patriot
Ism and impugn his honor.
Reply BY Robinson.
Replying In . fashion scarcely less
dramatic. Senator Robinson. Demo.
crat, Arkansas. IN opponent Of the
treaty, told the Senate he questioned
no ones motives. but proposed to do
his patriotic duty - he saw It with
out permitting himself to be "intimi
dated by outbursts of indignation"
He remained convinced. he said. that
both Of the Senate's representatives
on the delegation were amazingly IL.

conference.

understanding for future concerted

bate by Senator Borah. Republican.
Idaho. who read . statement regard.
Ing the conference results he said had
been made by Paul d. Cravath. . New
York attorney. In this statement Mr.
Cravath was quoted ~ saying he had
been told by every member OF the
American delegation" that the con
ference resulted In an unwritten un
derstanding between the United
States and Great Britain OF such q
character that both sides assume
that In all future emergencies they
can both count on having the very
closest cooperation"
The accuracy OF this assertion was
promptly denied by Senator Lodge and
by Senator Underwood. the Demo
cratic leader. and also q member OF
the American delegation. Senator
Underwood said he did not recall eveI
having met MIR. Cravath and Senator
Lodge declared he never talked with
him on the subject. Both asserted
positively and directly that SO Tar al
they knew no such understanding az
listed or over had been discussed.
