ed from a canvass OF the Senate sit
uation, which convinced him that the
necessary two-thirds majority for
ratification could not be had This
President Coolidge had called the
Idaho Senator to the White House
earlier In the day.
After the pact was recommitted
Secretary Kellogg went to the Senate
for conference with Chairman
Borah on the subject, but the Senator
was understood today to still hold
the view that the virtual solid oppo-
sition of the Democrats would result
only in rejection of the treaty If
pressed.

Ambassador Is Present
Previous to the vote on the treaty
itself the Senate, by a vote of 81 to
IL, rejected reservation to the reso-
luton of ratification offered by Sem
ator Willis. Republican. Ohio.
The effect of the reservation would
have been to extend the jurisdiction
OF the United States Constitution over
the Isle of Pines.
Without roll call the Senate
then rejected a reservation by Sena-
tor Copeland, Democrat, New York,
proposing that the treaty should not
become effective until a commission
OF the Senate Investigated and re-
ported on circumstances surrounding
its negotiation.
As the discussion approached its
conclusion Senator Reed, Democrat
Missouri, urged defeat of the treaty
and retention of the island by the
United States in the interest of ma
tional defense.
Just as Sir Esme Howard, the Brit
ish Ambassador, took his seat in the
diplomatic gallery the Missouri SEN
ator declared the Panama Canal de
fenseless," because Great Britain
commands every sea channel leading
to it, and added:
Not Expecting War
"Of course we all hope that we never
will be in conflict with Britain. but
we hoped that we would never become
involved In a European war"
Asserting his opinion that the
United States should exert SOW
ereignty over every island within
striking distance of this country, SEN
ator Reed said that American national
defense demanded retention of the
Isle of Pines.
