PACIFIC PACT

WASHINGTON, Feb. PA modi-
fled blanket reservation to the four
power Pacific treaty, said to be salts
factory, both to President Harding and
to a majority of the members of the
senate foreign relations committee,
was debated by the committee today
and an agreement reached to vote on
the treaty itself and all proposed res
eryations at tomorrow's session.
The new reservation was laid be-
fore the committee by Senator Brandt.
gee, Republican, Connecticut, after a
conference with the president The
Connecticut senator was said not to
have represented it as embodying the
presidents views, but the understand
ing of committee members was that
1t would be acceptable to the White
House. The text of the reservation
follows:
"The United States understands
that under the statement in the pre-
amble, or under the terms of this
treaty, there is no commitment to
armed force, no alliance, no obligation
to join in any defense"
Support Not Unanimous
Although apparently acceptable to
most of the Republican and Demo
cratic reservationists on the commit
tee, the reservation, according to to-
days discussion, will not receive
unanimous committee approval. SEN
ator Johnson, Republican, California,
was said to have shown opposition
during the meeting and it was gener-
ally expected that Senator Borah. Re-
publican, Idaho, who was absent, would
take a similar position.
The compromise reservation is more
direct and shorter than the original
Brandigee blanket proposal to which a
majority of the committee members
previously had indicated their sup.
port. Under the original reservation
the United States would have set forth
in detail that it was to assume no
moral or legal obligation under the
i treaty or any adjustments resulting
from it without "the consent of con.
gress."

up for the championship in the east
as Monroe was in the west and the
game would certainly be a good one.
If Sanford does not consent to give
Monroe a game, Rock Hill or the
Batesburg- Leesburg will be taken on.
A game with the latter would be es-
