Foes Peril Pact
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Ene-
mics of the Kellogg peace pact are
in stronger position today to nullify
the treaty by senate delay and res
ervations.
Late developments in the fight
are:
Minority obstructionists have pre-
vented the foreign relations COM
mittee from reporting the treaty to
the senate.
Incomplete third and fourth day
returns in The Times and Scripps-
Howard popular poll give 25,39S to
328 votes to "get the peace pact out
of the senate by Christmas" as
Americas gift to the world.
Senate obstructionistS under Moses
of New Hampshire, united late
yesterday and introduced a Clarity

f1libuster with this resolution in
committee until the Christmas re-
cess, which begins next Friday or
Saturday.
While Moses was introducing his
resolution, the Presidents "spokes-
man" at the White House was de-
nouncing such resolutions as an un-
friendly act, which will put the
United States in an embarrassing
international position.
Chairman Borah of the foreign
relations committee said the Moses
resolution might have IAN immoral
effect" He issued a statement at
tacking the alleged clarifying"
movement.
Meanwhile, the "big navy bloc
hopes to force the fifteen-cruiser bill
through the senate next week while
the treaty is nullified in committee.
With passage of the Boulder Dam
bill late yesterday, the cruiser bill
will have right-of-way Monday on
the regular business calendar.
Though the treaty, if reported from
committee, would have executive
session status and therefore would
not crowd the naval bill off the
regular calendar, the Cruiser crew"
say they fear the psychological eff
