supplcmental agreements. the frui-
tfon Of the twelve weeks Of negoti-
atfon inst concluded here. were in
The b1ndle of international cove
nants taken to the senate chamber
by Mr. Harding. They propose, ia
short limitation on naval arma-
r1ents. a new bill Of rights for
China and a four power concord to
nreserye neace in the Pacific.
All Of these ayreements, said the
nrestdeut are related portions OF
The effort tn "Dut an end to contra
dictions. to remove antiquities,
ana establish clear understandings
None oP them" he asserted, com
nits the American government, TO
anv kind of an alliance, entangle-
ment or Involvement"
Predict Ratification.
After the address, republican and
democratic leaders predicted the
treaties would be ratified without
long debate and by substantial ma
iorities ONLY one, the four power
paciEic pact, is. threatened now yi.n
organized opposition, and its op-
po1ents have not yet demonstrated
how large q vote they can COM
maDd.
Referred TO Committee.
Actual consideration of the cove
uants is to begin tomorrow at
meeting of the foreign relations
committee, TO which they were re-
ferred without debate and on mo-
lion Of the committee chairman,
Senator Lodge, Of Massachusetts.
It is thought unlikely, however, that
tomorroWs meeting will do more
than make a. preliminary eSamina-
ton.
So far there has been no move
FOR public hearings by the commit
tee. but the senate leaders propose
ia omen the senate doors when the
covenants are under debate. 1t -
probable that discussion on Ihs
floor will begin before the end OF
another week.
Prompt action was requested by
the president, because, he said, II
would be impossible to shape the
naval policy Of the government un-
iii if was known whether the naval
treaty. is to become the accepted
covenant of the nation. Until the
whole series is ratified, he declared,
the necessary readjustments cannot
be made lin full confidence
Mr.. Harding predicted that the
Chinese treaties would go a Ions
way toward realizing the long cher
ished hope for a stable and tree
China.
