Washington, March 14-After an other stormy debate in which possi- ble political consequences of the ad- ministration treaty program were discussed from several angles, the Senate late today rejected by di- vision almost on party lines the first two of the proposed amendments to the four-power Pacific pact.
 At the peak of their strength, with II short of the full membership present and voting, the opposition to the treaty msrshaled 2e democratic and four republican votes within two of third of the full Senate mem bership. but 8 less than enough to upset the two thirds needed for it's ratification. Leaders conceded how ever that at best the division was Dut a poor index to Senate sentiment on the question of ratification itself The first of the two amendments acted on was offered by Senator Robinson, democrat, Arkansas, and provided that the four powers should refrain from aggression against non-siBnatory as well as signatory nations and that all interested na- tions whether signatories to the treaty or not should be invited to any conference over Pacific treaty. The proposal was lost 80 to 55. Later similar amendment In different form was presented by Senator Walsh democrat, Montana. and vas v0tsd down. z5 10 90.
 Equally Divided
 On hOth roll alla four FapnhIf- cans. Borah of Idaho. Johnson of California, France of Maryland and LsFollette of Wisconsin, voted In tho affairmative while an equal number of democrats. Pomerene, of ohio. Ransdell Of Louisane, Underwood of Alabama and Williams of Mississip poi, joined the opposition.
 Tn the debate preceding the first vote nearly all the issues of the treaty fight were revived and both democrats and republicans indulged in prophecies of what might happen if the arms conference treaties be- come an issue between the repubIl- can and democratic parties. Senator Lenroot. republican, Wisconsin, warned the democratic side of tho chamber that should the four power pact be defeated President Harding might withdraw the other treaties from the Senate and ask the coun- try for verdict at the polls in No vember.
 Where Is Campaign Pledsef
 By Senator McCumber, republican. North Dakota. also a supporter of the treaty. the President was in- vlted to say what had become of the republican campaign pledge of 1920 for an Association of nations" which @ ar pa al hn .,.t. powers of the world. Senator Mo Cumber said smaller Association" had been formed by the four power treaty. but argued that Germany and Austria, among others, should be brought into a similar compact be- cause an incomplete combination "only would be trouble breeder" He put into the record a plan of his own for such world association"
 Arguing for the Robinson amend ment, Senator Walsh. democrat, Mon tana, announced that he could not support the treaty unless some quail fication were adopted and likened the present contest to that which waged over the Versailles treaty. Sponsors of the present treaty pro- gram, he said, were following in the footsteps of President Wilson by en- dangering the result in order to pre- serve their handiwork intact.
 Both Senators Lodge. republican. Massac achusetts, the republican leader. and Underwood, Alabama. the demo- cratic leader. argued against the When Senator Walsh suggested that the American people would not be satisfied with such an explanation, Senator Lodge retorted that well risk that"
 ID~I Der, during both the Versailles treaty fight and the present contest, was by Senator Williams demo- crat, Mississippi who also declared that if Great Britain were not party to the treaty Irish American and German American opposition" would have disappeared long ago. Both Senators Robinson, democrat, Arkansas and Stanley, democrat. Kentucky, replied in speeches re- senting the injection of such a sug- gestion into the debate.
