TREATY CALLED

The fight in the Senate over the
Kellogg BRAND peace treaty, remin.
iscent OF the old League fight. set
tied down today to a question Of
whether ratification will be uncondi-
tional or with reservations. Admin.
istration forces led by Senator Will
lam e. Borah Rl Of Idaho, were de-
termined to win an unconditional
ratification. The remnants Of the
old irreconcilables hoped to secure
approval Of a resolution Of expIa-
nation," announcing the United
States win stand for no interference
In South America or with the Mon
roe doctrine, regardless of its pledge
to outlaw war.
Point for BoraIn
The Irreconcilable fight appeared
to have been given an additional
handicap when Senator Borah ad-
mitted that each signatory nation
was free 10 make war at any time
In seif-defense and that each nation
could decided for itself what con-
stituted self-defense. He declared
the Monroe Doctrine an integral
part OF Americas seifdefense, and
therefore could be amply protected
| il the United States ratified the
treaty.
The TrreccncilabIes insisted, how.
ever, that the United States an
nounce its interpretation Of the
treaty to the world. They pointed
out that Great Britain had done so
/ in the now famous note Of Austin
Chamberlain, British foreign secre-
tary, to the American ambassador
Alanson b. Houghton. In his note.
/ Chamberlain said Great Britain re-
served the right to protect certain
regions Of the world under the
/ eif-defense clause" of the treaty.
The treaty advocates refused to
make q similar concession for the
| United States. They declared such
q statement was unnecessary. even
though the irreconcilables warned
that the treaty, through its arbi-
| tration agreement, might draw the
United States into the World Court
by q back door.
/ Scored By Reed
i ''If two nations in d controversy
cannot settle their dispute through
the regular diplomatic channels,
other means must be found under
tfis treaty. said Senator James "A.
Reed Cd of Missouri, leader of the
opposition. The only other means
| we know Of are arbitration and the
| international courts, such as The
Hague and the World Court.
THE first thing we know, IL we
ratify this treaty, wen find our.
selves in the World Court. Some
other slgnatory nation viii haul
us In through q back door. That's
exactly what every pacifist organi-
zation in the country IL praying
| for.
Administration leaders hoped To
secure q vote on the treaty by
the middle Of next week. The irre-
concilables. however, declared they
hadn't even started their fight on
/ the treaty as yet and would agrees
to no definite date for q final vote..
The ''hig Navy bill was tied up
meanwhile, with small hope Of being
considered before the end Of next
week. It's proponents fear its de-
feat If the treaty is ratified.
