SIT is worth while saying" the Pres
ident continued, "that the powers in
this conference sought 20 concert to
dispossess ally power of its rights or
property. All the signatories have
given UP certain rights which they
had, as their contribution to concord
and peace, but at no sacrifice of ma
tional pride, with no regret or resent
ment to later flame in conflict.
"These treaties leave no power
despoiled.
Il can assure you the nine powers
have been brought more closely to-
gether; they are stauncher neighbors
and friends, they have clearer and
better estimates Of one another, they
have seen suspicion challenged and
selfshness made to retreat, and they
are more strongly willed for right and
justice in international relations than
ever before"

HARDING WANTS PACTS
RATIFIED IN A HURRY
House Plan for Special Senate
Session After Congress Adjourns
Makes No Hit at White House.

ashington.-President Harding de-
sires to have the treaties which have
been formulated at the armament con-
ference ratified by the senate with the
least practicable delay. He feels that
they should be taken up without wait
ing for the enactment of the tariff
measure. He is not well-disposed to-
ward the plan Of some of the house
leaders to permit the treaties to drift
along until midsummer, then let Con-
gress adjourn, and have the treaties
taken up in a special session of the
senate
While the President, has not formal
ly advised senators as to the program
he would like to see followed in rati-
flying the treaties, the gossip in SEN
ate circles was that the leaders had
been apprised that the President want
ed the treaties taken up ahead of the
tariff.
Opinion about the senate is that it
might not be found practicable to fol-
low the Presidents program. Senator
Lodge feels that the treaties and the
tariff can be dealt with at the same
time. This plan does not appeal to
some of the other leaders, as they
think lit will result in drawing out
the consideration of both treaties and
tariff to greater length than if one or
the other subject was put first.
President Harding does not think the
tyr fn pi n
discussion, but he has been told by
some of his senate advisers that it is
probable each one of the treaties will
be thrashed out thoroughly and that
this will require many weeks. Even
the naval treaty, it is pointed out, will
call for much debate, although there
will probably be no votes against it.
