johnson, grizzied veteran of
the senatorial wars ever the League
of Nations and World Court, held
out for some official action by the
Senate, setting forth the American
terms of adherence to the treaty.
He insisted upon a statement 70
the world that America will never
permit foreign interference with the
Monroe Doctrine and that approval
of the Kellogg compact does not
mean American endorsement of the
League nor World Court.
Settlement Sought
Administration leaders, led by
Senators Watson (Rl of Indiana,
and Borah CR) of Idaho. sought an
amicable settlement of the treaty
row.
If an agreement is not reached
within a day or two. it was evident,
they will seek to force a decision
by keeping the Senate in session at
night.
Thus far. both sides have arbi-
trated their differences. but objec-
tions from Secretary of State Frank
B. Kellogg destroyed each tentative
agreement until Johnson refused to
mank any further concession.
The Secretary of State demanded
unconditional ratification by the
Senate. Johnson demanded some
action informing the world that
America would not enter the treaty
blindly and depending upon the
interpretations of foreign pations.

far discussed, have revolved around

Relations Committee file a report.

the arena at the rate of two a

At II o'clock the jam at both
huge entrances was getting so bad
that the lane Of policemen kept
telling the mourners to walk faster.
A Mans Crowd
At least one out of every ten in
the mourning line was a woman.
Yet it was not a crowd such as
rioteT at the funeral of Rudolph
Valentino. It was a mans crowd.
Rich man, poor man, beggar man,

but the irreconcilables insisted at
first that the Senate adopt the
report. This was opposed by kel-
logg. Then the irreconcilables asked
that. the Senate send the report to
Kellogg with a request that it be
transmitted to all signatory nations.
Again kellogg objected.
Finally. the irreconcilables asked
Kellogg to agree to send the report
to the signatories. without the
Senate taking any action.
For the third time. Kellogg 90

Then johnson objected. He an

any report from the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee-of which he
is a member-unless it were trans

His decision forced the irrecon-
cilables to rally again around the
Moses resolution of explanation,
which Kellogg protested might lead
to rejection of the treaty abroad.
Unanimity Wanted
Some of the irreconcilables be

American interests, whether or not
the Senate takes any action on it.
Both groups, though, have in
sisted the report must be unani'

Senate, prior TO ratification, would

In the closing days of the session
three questions r casting fill
buster shadows over the senate.
One Is q difference in views over
the proposed $4,000, 900 increase
for prohibition enforcement: an
other revolves around the navy de-
partment measure carrying funds
for the cruiser construction pro-
gram. and the third hinges on
the opposition of Senator Walsh.
democrat. Montana. to a provision
in the interior department bill
which would authorize the secre-
tary OF the interior to condemn any
privately owned lands in public
parks. All the bills affected are
appropriation measures.
The prohibition item was added
by the senate to the first deficiency
bill. and republican leaders have
decided to let that bill die and to
leave the $4,000. 900 out of the Sec
ond deficiency bill. Senator Glass.
democrat. Virginia, has declared
that If this program Is followed the
second deficiency bill would have a
hard time getting through the SEN
ate. This was interpreted as q
fIlibuster threat by the Virginian.
Yesterday Senator Blaine, repub-
lican. Wisconsin. blocked an at
tempt by Chairman Hale OF the
naval affairs committee, TO get the
naval bill before the senate. Later
in the day Senator Swanson or
Virginia asked for unanimous con-
sent TO take III the naval bill. Sem

Senator Walsh gave notice 10 the
senate that he would discuss at
some length the conference report
on the inferior department bill.
The amendment giving the secre-
tary OF the interior power to con-
denim privately owned lands In
public parks was added bv the
house. Senator Walsh said Repre-
sentative Cramton Of Michigan was
the man who insisted that the land
condemnation provision be placed
IN the bill and he declared that if
the measure failed. responsibility
for the failure Of the bill must rest
