duty as he saw it without permitting himself to be "intimidated by out bursts of indignation.
 He remained convinced, he said, that both of the senate's representa- tives on the delegation were "amaZ- ingly ignorant" of some of the things done at the conference.
 The exchange between Senators Lodge and Robinson, which was part of long debate sown broadcast with charges of "slander', ''untruths", and propaganda, took place shortly after the Republican leader and other prom inent figures in his party organiza- tion had canvassed the whole treaty situation at the White House confer ence with President Harding. Be- sides Lodge, those who were present included Chairman John T. Adams or the Republican national committee; Senator Mccormick of Illinois, chair man of the partys senatorial cam paigan committee. and Senator Curtis of Kansas, Republican whip of the senate.
 The presence of SD many party chiefs at the conference led to the i'm pression that they discussed with the president the possible injection of the arms conference treaties into the com ing congressional campaign, but some of the senators who attended said afterward that the primary pur pose was to give Harding the late5t information as to the lineup on the four power treaty ratification vote taken Friday. It. said the president reiterated his acceptance of the no alliance" reservation drafted by the foreign relations committee, and was told there were enough votes pledged to ratify the treaty on that basis.
 Late in the day, the president also called in two Democratic senator's Smith of South Carolina, and Kend- ricks of Wyoming-for discussion of the treaty situation. The senators, on leaving the White House, would not even admit that the treaties had been the subject of conversation or from what particular standpoint they had been discussed. At the same time, administration officials reiterated that the treaties were certain to be rati- fled, but did not indicate whether ad- ditional Democratic votes were sought or the status of reservations was un- der consideration.
 Suggestion of British-American understanding for future concerted action was thrown into the senate de bate by Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, who read a statement regard ing the conference results he said had been made by Paul D. Cravath, a New York attorney. In this statement, Cravath was quoted as saying he had been told "by every member of the American delegation" that the confer ence resulted in an unwritten under standing between the United States and Great Britain of such a character that both sides assume that in all future emergencies, they can both count on having the.sveFy closest CO., operation"
 The accuracy of this assertion was promptly denied by Senator Lodge and by Senator Underwood of Ala bama, the Democratic leader, and also a member of the American delegation. Senator Underwood said he did not recall ever having met Cravath, and Senator Lodge declared he never talked with him on the subject. Both asserted positively and directly that so far as they knew, no such under standing existed or ever had been discussed.
 By Senator Robinson it was argued that Cravath, as we'll as Secretary Hughes and Elihu Root, the other two American delegation members, should be called before the foreign relations committee before the sen ate voted on ratification of the treaty. It was indicated that motion to send the treaty back to the committee with instructions to investigate fur ther it's meaning, might be made later but the administration leaders said to. night there was no possibility that such a move would succeed
 NEW YORK, Mar. 20. -- Paul D. Cravath tonight issued statement denying he ever had said as Senator Borah quoted him in the senate, that there was an "unwritten agreement" that the United States and Great Britain should act togther "in any emergency in the Pacific"
 "There is not the remotest founda- tion for the statement reported to have been made by Senator Borah in the senate, in which my name was used" he said. Ut is pure romance. cannot make my denial too strong and unequivocal."
