A duty of : cents pound on long
staple cotton was approved by the
Senate last week after an effort to
increase the rate had failed. This is
the duty now in effect in the emer-

REFUSES
TO BARE
SECRETS
American Delegates
Not Forced to Accept
Anything Unfavor-
able Says Secretary

Washington, March 11.-Secre-
tary of State Hughes in a letter
today to Senator Underwood,
democratic senate leader and arms
conference delegates, took occa-
sion to characterize intimations
that the American delegates were
induced to accept some plans for
the four power Pacific treaty cum
ningly contrived by others op-
posed to American interests as "a
very poor and erroneous concep-
tion of the work in connection
with the conference.
Nothing Derogatory.
The secretary added that the
amenities of international inter-
course preclude revealing the in
formants confidential suggestions
and conversations incident to the
negotiations but he assured the
senate that full disclosure Of ev-
erything said or done would re-
veal nothing derogatory to the
part taken by the American dele
gates. He asserted he would not
consider or accept any position not
entirely consistent with the tradi-
tional policies of the American
government.
The four power Pacific treaty
itself requires no commentary, the
secretary said, adding that no in
genuity in argument or hostile
criticism can add to it or make its
engagements greater than "its
unequivocal language sets forth"
There are no secret notes or un-
derstanding," he asserted.
Mystery Is Denied.
Discussing the genesis Of the
treaty, which has been the subject
of questions in the senate from its
opponents, Mr.. Hughes said that
while the question Of authorship
is unimportant" after assent had
been given by Great Britain ant
Japan that France should be
party, he himself prepared a draft
Of the treaty biased upon the
various suggestions which hat
been exchanged between the dele
gates"
There is not the slightest mys
terry about the treaty for basis o.
suspicion regarding it," the secre
tary asserted. 'It is a straight
forward document which attain'
one of the Important objects thu
American government has had IL
view and is of the highest import
ance to the maintenance of friend
ly relations in the Far East upol
sound basis"
Failure of the senate to ratif.
the treaty, Mr.. Hughes declared
would be nothing short of ma
tional calamity"

DEFENDS

Declares
Pacific Pact Is Real
0Peace Treaty" of
Arms Conference

Washington, March 11.-De-
a,cribing the four power Pacific
trootv as "the real treaty Of
noace" of the arms conference,
senator Underwood of Alabama,
tbe democratic senate leader ana
member of the American delega-
tion to the conference told the SEN
ota today that he would vote for
tbe pact's ratification in the same
snirit which actuated him to sup
mort the treaty of Versailles and
sthe league Of nations.
3 The real issue, the democratic
Header declared, was whether the
Sunited States was ready to give Its
2sanction to an arrangement for
.peace by mutual understanding
Ror desired to continue "the oppor-
8tunity for war that has threatened
8us in the past two decades"
u Defends Alliance.
Mr.. Underwood asserted that he
did not regard the treaty as an
alliance but added that even If 1t
we're, and were founded on arbi-
tration rather than force, he
would support it. To argue, on
the other hand, rnat because IT
was not based on force it was
yalueless was declared by the Ala
bama senator to be reverting to
the philosophy of past ages.
Recounting how he had sup
ported the league of nations, he
said he had approached the work
Of the arms conference ready to
welcome any new effort to estab-
lish peace by international under
standing rather than by the power
Of the sword.
"The four power treaty." he
continued, represents a political
settlement which undoubtedly was
4 necessary before the treaty pro
syiding for the limitation of arma-
ments was signed; that is, If the
agreement to limit ornaments was
intended to mean more than a
mere saving Of money to the ma
tions who had engaged in the wild
race of building battleships.
Calls for Arbitration.
"The terms Of the treaty clearly
call for a conference to consider
difficulties that may arise, just as
the conference on the limitation
Of armaments was called in Wash
ington some months ago. 1t is a
conference in which all the foul
powers must agree and none Of
v the powers will be bound in ad.
vance in any way. In other words
