Washington.-The two arms confer
ence treaties, limiting the navies Of

use of submarines and poison gas, were
ratified In landslide of appreciation
by the Senate.
To the naval limitation covenant.
declaring for the naval building holi-
day and fixing a ratio of capital ship
strength for the United States, Great
Britain, Japan, France and Italy, the
Senate gave its final assent by vote
Of IA to /, and then, almost without
debate, 1t accepted, II to 0, the pact
designed to prevent submarine opera
tons against merchantmen and to out
law chemical warfare altogether. No
amendments or reservations were pro-
posed to either.
The only negative vote was cast
against the treaty by Senator France
tRep.), Maryland, who said he regard
ed naval reduction as dangerous ex-
pedient under present world condi-
tons. Every other member of the
"irreconcilable" treaty bloc who was
present cast q vote In the affirmative,
although Senator Borah (Rep) of
Idaho told the Senate he regarded the
treaty as only a beginning and Senator
johnson (Rep) of California declared
he accepted the Notifications status
quo" provisions for the Pacific with
grave misgivings."
A speech assailing the poison gas
articles of the submarine and gas
treaty was made on the floor by Sena-
tor Wadsworth (Rep.), New York,
chairman Of the military committee,
but before the ratification roll call he
left the chamber and did not vote.
The New York senator disagreed with
the statement in the treaty text that
the use Of gas in warfare had been
"justly condemned by the general Opln-
ion Of the civilized world" argued
that chemical warfare had not pro-
vided actually more brutal than other
accepted methods of destruction, and
expressed fear. that the treaty
| pledges would be violated In an emer.
gency.
AS soon as the two pacts had been
disposed Of, administration leaders
brought formally before the Senate the
general Far Eastern treaty. Debate on
1t will begin, with indications pointing
to opposition from small group Of
Senators who believe that Cbina's in
terests were not sufficiently protected.
