pact, talked about Senator Lodges
nervous haste" and ranted that some
thing must be doue TO. 'uproot the seeds
Of future controversy with Japan"
Senator Robinson, Democrat, Of Ar
kansas, field marshal of the opposition
forces, submitted his amendment to take
the southern half of Saghalin Island out
Of the four-power treaty. He argued
that "Karafuto," the japanese name for
southern Saghalin, would be certain to
be the object of attack when "the great
Russian Bear once again stretched out
his paw to strike the ancient yellow foe"
In that event, Senator Robinson claimed
the United States, under the treaty,
would be forced into the position of de-
Tending Japan and lighting Russia.
Senator Underwood, Democrat, of Ala
bama, warmly defended the inclusion of
southern Saghalin into the treaty as ne
gotiated and signed. He said: at was
Japan's part of the bargain in exchange
for our inclusion of the Philippines"
II the United States, Senator Underwood
declared, had not been willing to COW
enaut that they would respect japanese
p0ssessica OF southern Saghalin, Japan
would have refused to agree to respect
American possession Of the Philippines.
MI. underwood asked the Senate to bear
that phase-the outstanding feature Of
the four-power pact-primarily in mind.
REASON WHY RUSSIA
WOULD KEEP PEACE.
1t was while scouting Senator Robin
sons theory that Russia would attack
Japan through S~aghalin that the Demo
cratic leader contrived to embroil himself
in a squabble with Senator Johnson. Zone
reason why Russia will not attack any Of
Japan'S insular possessions" Senator
Underwood said, is that Russia would
forthwith find herself involved with the
United States, Great Britain and Japan"
"Ah, there we have It," exclaimed
Senator Johnson, hopping onto senator
U~nderwood's observation like a police
court lawyer who has discovered a sud
den flaw in the prosecuting attorneys
case. That's what I thought" said Mr..
Johnson. THE United States Is going
to be involved IL Russia attacks Japan.
The Senator from Alabama says that
does not necessarily mean we would be
Involved in war, but It might mean that"
Senator Underwood denied vigorously
that his remark was open to any such
construction. He explained that the
mere certainty Russia would find the
worlds four leading powers comforting
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1922-03-28

in a given mergenc would act as a
preventative of war, because Russia's
possibilities of obtaining supplies and
financial credit, for war purposes, would
be seriously restricted.
The Robinson amendment, to exempt
Saghalin from the quadrurle agreement,
was defeated by a vote of IS to 20.
PITTMAN DELIVERS
ATTACK ON JAPAN.
The next opposition attempt to "devi-
talize'' the four-power pact emanated
from Senator Pittman, Democrat, of Ne
vada. He introduced an amendment to
the Lodge reservation which was de-
scribed as the same reservation Mr.. Lodge
had himself introduced during the Yer
saiIles Treaty fight, for the purpose of
"devitalizing'' the famed Article X. The
Pittman amendment asked for itemized
characterization of the domestic ques-
tions" which could not be brought up
under Article II of the pending pact.
They included land-laws and immigra-
ton, on both Of which subjects Senator
Pittman delivered typical anti-Japanese
~outbufsts. He painted the yellow peril
in lurid colors, declaring it was no longer
confined to the Pacific Coast, but was
spreading to the Middle West and was
even manifest in Washington. The Pitt
man amendment was overthrow by a
vote of 40 to 81.
Typical of the tone to which opposi-
ton Oratory in the treaty fight has sunk
was an outburst today by Senator Stan
ley, Democrat, Of Kentucky. He was
berating Senator Lodge and the Amer
lean delegation for not making part Of
a sealed treaty" the declaration ex-
empting domestic questions from Article
II Of the four-power pact. This borders
upon duplicity," the Kentuckian fumed.
1T looks as If the conference had tried
to sell the United States a gold brick.
1t is an appalling situation. Somebody
has tried to put up a Job on us" Sena-
tor Stanley tried to make the Senate be-
lieve that the innocent American delega-
ton had been hood-winkd by profess
