ENDS TANGLE ON
PACIFIC TREATY
Agreements to F0ur-PoWer Ac-
cord are Ratified
DUAL RESOLUTION IS USED
Critics Declare Course Weak And Un-
satisfactory, But Give It Favor
able Vote-Naval Treaty
In

Washington-The Senate finally un-
tangled its parliamentary difficulties
over the Four-Power Treaty supple
ments by joining the two supplement
tary agreements together and then
ratifying them both by unanimous
vote.
one Of the supplements, itself in
the form of treaty, defines the geo.
graphical scope OF the FourPower
pact so as not to include the Japanese
homeland. The other, attached to the
first by a recetn action in the form
of a reservation" stipulates that
issues which are purely of domestic
character cannot be brought before
the Four Power conferences"
The vote on the double-barreled rati-
fication resolution was 73 to 0, oppo-
nents of the our-Power plans joining
in giving approval to the supplements
because they interpreted the two
the operation Of the principal treaty
Several attempts to attach other reser-
vations which had failed when the
Four-Power Treaty itself was under
consideration were defeated by the
usual pro-treaty and anti-treaty line
up.
AS soon as the vote had been COM
pleted Senator Lodge of Massachu-
setts, the Republican leader, called
up the naval limitation treaty estab
fishing a 5-53 capital ship ratio for
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan.
The plan of combining action on
the two Four-Power Treaty supple
ments' was proposed by Senator
Lodge after he had decided it was
unnecessary to present two separate
ratification resolutions. The treaty

questions supplement really was a
part of the Power pact, protest.
ed that the method finally settled upon
by the Republican leader was but a
weak and unsatisfactory" way to
solve the parliamentary problem con-
fronting the Senate, but Mr.. Lodge
and other Republicans insisted it
would be entirely effective.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
senior Democratic member of the
Foreign Relations Committee, de-
clared that the Senate's action in Civ
ing belated approval to the supple.
ment ''is an admission to Japan that
the supplements provisions are not a
part Of the Four Power Treaty.
Other Democrats also argued that
the only proper procedure was to re-
consider the vote ratifying the Four.

plement in that ratification. Adoption
OF the domestic questions supplement
