Shields Expected to Move for
RecOmmitment of Treaty.
Call Move Merely Effort to
Force "Pitiless Publicity"

Washington. March 21.-The Amer
lean government entered into no un-
derstandings or agreements during
the arms conference that were not
embodied in treaty form and made
public. it was stated today at the
White House in connection with
charges in the seQate that an under
standing had been reached between
the United States and Great Britain
relative to action in the Pacific.
The charge of q secret agreement
was described as outra geOuS and un-
thinkable. 1t was further declared
inconceivable that the American gov
ernment should invite Japan to a con-
ference and then be perfidious
enough to turn around and make a
secret agreement antagonistic to her.

on the same subject attributed to him

The move to recommit was expected
to come in the form of mo-

the committee who declared he
would insist upon all the cir
cumstances surrounding the making
of the treaty being fully sired by
the testimony of those held respon-
sible for it.
AS a majority vote would be re-
quired for the doption of the pro-

senator's conceded that it would prob 4
