EVENTS OF A WEEK.

Substantial agreement was reached in the SEN
Nate on a blanket amendment to the four-power Pa
cihc treaty under which it is declared to be the I'M
'derstanding of the United States that the treaty
involves no obligation to use armed force, no ALI
ance and no obligation to join in any defense. With
out a definite statement to that effect this amend
'ment was understood to be acceptable to President
Harding, and a decision was reached to vote on the
amendment, with others, and on the treaty itself on
Saturday. Today's news columns will doubtless
present the record of this having been done.
