PACT PLEDGES 60 NATIONS TO FOREGO WAR: STUPEN-
 DOUS ACCOMPLISHMENT

WASHINGTON, Jan., 2, P)-For nearly four hours Saturday the Senate debated the multi-lateral pact for outlawing war. While the entire session was listless in character many members of the Senate persisted in urging that the treaty be~construed in the resolu- tion so that Amercan rights under the pact be made clear.
 Effort was made by some Sen ators to show the treaty would link the United States to the League of Nations and to the World Court.
 Senator Borah was reused by the volley of questions addressed him and in a lengthy speech ve- hemently urged that the Tech nical and academic" discussion be dispensed with.
 The fundamental fact of the pact is that it pledges 60 nations to forego war and, as such, is a "Stupendous accomplishment" he said.
