PROHIBITION DIRECTOR PUTS BLAME ON THE PUBLIC
PRESIDENT ASSURES SENATOR'S
 AGREEMENTS STAND FOR PEACE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. H. Appearing before the senate in per son for the third time since he took his oath of office, President Hard ing yesterday laid before the law makers of the upper branch of Con- gress, the treaties evolved from the Arms Conference.
 The President declared that the new agreements would serve to put an end to contradictions, remove ambiguities and establish clear un- derstandings".
 Seven treaties were submitted for consideration and ratification, in- cluding the Five Power Naval Arm amenc treaty, the Four Power Pa cifc treaty, the Submarine and Poison Gas treaty, two treaties sup plemental to the armament treaty and two Chinese treaties.
 These engagements, the President explained, were interwoven in a general scheme of peace and con- tained nothing which commits the United States to 'any kind of al- liance entanglemeuts or evolvement' 7
 Referring to the unratified Yer sailles treaty, he said 1t was drawn in response 70 manifest world hunger for better relationships and that the several treaties submitted today were drawn purely in response to the same desire, but without any provision except to promote peace"
 Reviewing briefly the situation in
