an unanimous consent agreement to
fixa date for a vote on the Isle or
Pines treaty, Chairman Borah OF the

today in the senate that debate on
the subject has just begun"
Senator Mccormick. Republican,
Illinois, who had proposed the agree
ment, demanded to know whether
this was to be construed to mean
that the treaty confirming Cuba
sovereignty over the island would go
over until the next session.
THAT may be" returned Senator
Borah. He added that while 1t might
be that debate could be concluded in
a few days if the subject could be
kept steadily before the senate, he
would not agree to date for a vote
"because a good deal has got to be
said on thesubject."
Urging that the senate was under
a moral obligation to ratify or reject
the treaty, Senator Mccormick said
he realized proponents were facing
the most capable antagonist in the
senate in Senator .Borah.
