James A. Reed of Missouri declares
 he still is 'irreconcilable, as are
 Senators Borah, Johnson and others, concerning the four-power treaty, which they continue to denounce as a military pact and prophecy that events in the near future will demonstrate the futility of attempting to maintain peace and safety by cooperation with a nation which, they declare, is striv- ing continuously for objects wholly at variance with American principles and institutions of liberty. Senator Reed declares Japan has no idea of carry ing out her part of the compact and he warns the country against being de- ceived by fair promises.
 SLAMS DEMOCRAT CHIEF
 FOR ALLEGED HYPOCRISY
 In his speech on the treaty, dealing with this phase of it, Senator Reed said:
 "The Senator from Alabama (Mr. Underwood worked himself into re- ligious zeal and fervor, seldom mani fested outside an old-fashioned camp meeting, when he was discussing the idea that the dawn of that day now come when Christianity and the Chris tian spirit are to rule in the affairs of men. He told us, in substance, it was because of that spirit that we could enter into this treaty with safe ty.
 within two minutes after he not only prophesied the dawn of the mil Iennium, but declared it's advent, he told us that if we did not sign the treaty, we would be in great danger of attack from two of the parties to the agreement. In word, the mil lennium is here, provided we sign this treaty, but if we do not sign this treaty, two of our contemplated asso- ciates may bounce up on the United States without cause or reason.
 ALL TRUSTING SOLELY
 IN WAR APARTMENTS
 "Mr. President, I have heard that kind of logic now for about three years in the Senate and it makes me very, very tired. At the same time that we are told we are hereafter to put our confidence in the faith taught by the Savior of mankind, we are de- liberating upon treaties proposed for know how long and bitterly the con tention was carried on as to the bal ance of armaments; not one of the na- tinons being willing to trust to faith in the Savior but all looking to their cannon and their ships.
 q hope the millennium will come some day, and I should be glad to think that I could live long enough to witness it's glorious advent, but when it comes, I know it is coming in the way the Good Book says. It will be ushered in with the music of anvils beating swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks. We will witness the spectacle of the lion and the lamb lying down together, and we will not see the military masters Of the world consorting together for balance of military power and for the preservation, as far as they can, of the | most rapid moving ships of war and the most powerful cannon. TEAR OFF THE MASK FROM FACE OF JAPAN
 "It is time we should understand that we are dealing with a practical world and that we must deal with It in a practical way. It is at least dl1- ficult to believe that the doctrine Of Christianity is sufficient safeguard for our people when we are offered a treaty with nation which does not believe in that doctrine and which, ac- cording to the reprts of American mls- sionary societies within IF months nrior to this date, was burning down Christian churches, was executing Christian men, and was stripping naked the bodies of native Christian Koreans and beating them with bam- boo rods until the flesh dropped rom their bones; a nation which has just completed the ravishment or Chlha' which broke faith in Korea; which as- sailed Russia before she declared war; and even while her councillors sat at The table discussing with Russia the +ornos of an agreement was massing her ships and preparing for great naval attack.
