REEDS ATTITUDE
ONLY BLOCK TO
SENATE PEACE
BY PAUL R. MALLON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. >. - The
fighting 10th congress, which ad-
iouwyd for the Christmas holidays
wi;h the senate locked in bitter
fjljbu>tcr, came back today to fin
ish up it,, work i'm AN atmosphere
Of peace.
An agreement was negotiated by
senate leaders whereby the Kellogg
auti-war treaty will hc considered
before the naval cruiser building
bill, thus settling the dispute Of
precedence to the satisfaction of
both sides. Under this agreement
Chairman Borah OF the foreign re-
lationS committee viii get the peace
pact before the senate mt p. m. He
has announced he will keep it in
thil primary position until it is
ratified.
The only baze on thi, peaceful
horizon was provided by Senator
Games \. Reed of Missouri, the most
ardent opponent Of the treaty, who
has announced his Ware investigate
INC committee will meet tomorrow
and probably viii prepare its re
port to the senate ON the Ware
election case.
This report is Of the highest privi-
lcgc and 10y its presentation i'm the
senate Rcrd might hr able to de
lay consideration of the treaty. He
did not say what hc win do. He
always has played Il lone hand and
was not consulted by Borah and
Chairman Hale of the naval affairs
committee who made the agreement.
If Reed can be persuaded to hold
off his Ware report, or if some ar
raugcmcnt is made whereby it will
not conflict With the Kellogg pact,
Borah expects the treaty to be rati-
fled within Il week.
After the treaty will come the
naval bin, 1t is expected to require
two or three weeks but a majority
now appears to favor its provisions
for l. new 10000 tom cruisers and
and aircraft carrier to b" built
within three years, in spite Of presi-
dent Coolidgc's opposition to the
time limit.
