Cites Presidents ''Erroneous
Construction" in Urging
DeIiberation.
By the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 5.-United
States Senator Hiram w. johnson. in a
statement to Californians yesterday,
said:
President Harding's erroneous con-
struction of the quadruple alliance
| treaty is the most cogent reason for all
of US to study every word and phrase
before we commit our country to this
unexpected and extraordinary contract.
The statement was issued in accord
ance with suggestion that he endeavor
ito interpret the concrete things that
come out Of the Washington conference
on the Limitation of armament"
Senator johnson said that there was
universal approval of the original pur-
pose Of the conference and substantial
| unanimity in the hope and desire that
| armaments would be limited. Any re-
! suits. he said. just to the participants,
! lessening armament will be more cor
daily and enthusiastically welcomed.
But" he continued, because we
favor disarmament and would make al
| most any sacrifice for peace, Is no rea-
| son why we must accept anything which
| may be rendered us in the sacred name
of peace or under the guise of disarma-
ment.
Important to California.
''Out of the secrecy of the confer.
ence mas come, nrSL, an unexpected
| treaty, unrelated to the original pur-
| pose Of the gathering. and unconnect-
ed in reality with the limitation of
armament. The treaty is of tran
scendent Importance to California and
of only less Importance to the nation.
1t should be carefully and calmly
studied, narrowly scrutinized and its
| meaning should be thoroughly under
stood before we are irrevocably COM
| mitted to it,"
Senator johnson said that Great
Britain and Japan had an offensive
and defensive alliance, under which
Great Britain's colonies were chafing:
that Japan wished a continuance OF
the alliance; that apparently Japan
! insisted, if it were to be abrogated.
upon something as good land got
something better" He also recited
the preamble Of the new quadruple
alliance as follows:
with view of the preservation of
the general peace and the mainte-
| nance of their rights in relation to
their insular possessions and insular
dominions in the regions of the Pa
cific ocean"
This language" he said. "it now
appears, was the subject of prolonged
debate in the secret sessions. We do
know, however, that the President
himself was not aware that insular
dominions' included Japan and as
serted in a public interview that it
did not.
