Kellogg gg Urges
Senate to Ratify
4-Power Treaty
Declares Reservation Ap.
proved by Foreign Rela-
iions Committee Wholly
Superfluous.

Washington. March 7.-Advo-
eating ratification oi the four power
Pacific pact treaty without hesita-
ton or qualification, Senator Kel-
logg, republican. Minnesota. told the
senate today that the pact was so
free from cntangling commitments
as to make reservations possible
sources OF embarrassment, rather
than OF advantage.
The Minnesota senator declared
no agreement TO employ force or to
defend any other nations rights was
contemplated by the instrument, and
characterized the mo alliance" res
ervation approved by the foreign re-
lations committee as wholly super
6uous.
Senator Kellogg reviewed the me-
gotiations leading up to the treaty
and asserted that one OF its most i'm
portant provisions was that aoro-
eating the Anglo Japanese alliance.
which he said long had been viewed
with suspicion. He alluded to the
Bryan arbitration treaties and SIM
liar international agreements as fur
nishing precedent for the four-power
pact and declared there was mo
semblance of similarity" between the
new treaty and the obligations OF
article 10 of the league Of nations
covenant.
No Definition Necessary.
The most that the four-power
treaty obligated the United States TO
do, he said, was to respect the rights
Of the signatories in the Pacific and
to consult with them if those rights
were violated.
1T is true" he continued, there
is no definition as to just what those
rights are. and no dehipition is nee
cssary. We have abs6Yute dominion
over the Philippine island4 and the
other powers agree to respect those
rights. The other powers have abb
solute dominion or mandates over
other islands and we agree to respect
their rights.
Disagreement Unlikely.
There is little, if any, chance for
disagreement as to what those rights
are, but assume that the title of any
country should be questioned, we do
not agree to submit that question to
arbitration or to the decision of any
conference, or to be bound by any
finding, but simply to consult to-
gether with view to adjustment of
any disagreements.
"But it is said that we are entering
into an alliance which will involve
us in the disputes of the far east
and may bring on war. An alliance
is generally understood to be an
agreement between two nations
whereby if one is attacked the other
agrees to go to its defense. If this
four-power treaty constitutes an al
lance, then practically all the treat
les we have ever made, by which we
agree to consult together to arbi-
tratc questions, to lay down rules of
action in war or peace, to limit arma-
ment upon the great lakes are al
liances,"

UNUSUAL ARMISTICE
DAY CELEBRATION IS
STAGED AT ROSWELL

Roswell, N. NJ, Nov. 11.-All
Roswell entered into the celebra-
ton of Armistice day in an unusual
way. There was a variety on the
program that appealed to every
body, and there was an entire alb
sence of the usual speech making.
The program started at $50 in the
morning with a horse show at the
New Mexico Military institute. At
II o'clock on Main street occurred
a varied program.
This started off with a parade
OF new 1928 model cars by automo-
bile dealers. The second event
was a flag drill by the physical cul-
.ture department of the high school.
The third number was a demon
stration of first aid work and
scout games by four troops of Ros-
we'll Boy Scouts. The fourth was
a mounted drill by Battery A. The
fifth was dismounted drill by ca
dets of the New Mexico Military
institute. The sixth was a review
of the winning horses at the horse
show, and the closing number was
a saber drill by a mounted troop
of cadets.
The afternoon program consisted
solely of a football game between
Roswell high school and Artesia
high school, and in the evening the
American legion gave big dance
at the Armory.
