resented Says Senator Reed, of
Missouri. - ~

Washington, March 16-The sena-
torial attack on the arms conference
treaty was switched today from the

speech today. "The whole status of
the naval powers under naval limita-
ton treaty has been mlsrepresented"
he said. 81 will present facts-the
work of recognized experts, and if
these facts are not given attention be
fore the four power treaty is acted
upon we will not be able to extricate
ourselves from a dilemma of great
danger. Senator Reed challenge the
members of the American delegation
to the arms conference to produce
the reports Of the naval experts as
to the relative naval strength under
the limitation plan Of the United
States, Great Britain and Japan. IN
der the four power treaty and naval
treaty., Reed said, "you are making
it impossible to defend Guam and i'm
possible for US to attack Japan" He
delivered an attack on the American
allies in the war. "They double
crossed US before we went in and
double crossed US after we went in',
Reed declared.
