awaited ratification by Great Brit
ain and Japan before becoming ef-

ed to their homes to seek rest and
relaxation and prepare for the COM
ing campaigns.
The treaty was ratified. So 70 9.
late yesterday and adjournment
sine die followed almost at once.
The senate will reaSsemble in Dec
ember for the regular short seS-
sion" ending March a, 1891.
Before approving the treaty, the
legislators adopted the Norris reser-
walton. setting forth the understand
ing Of the senate that the pact is
not modified in any way by secret
documets or agreements extraneouS
to itself.
This reservation was introduced
after President Hoover had with
held from the senate certain papers
having 70 do with the negotiation
Of the pact.
Ratification was determinedly op-
posed by a small group of senators
under leadership Of johnson OF
California. Moses Of New Hamp-
shire. and Hale of Maine, all Re
publicans.
They disputed the claim OF the
administration that the pact prov
ideS for Anglo-American parity and
will be the means Of a saving Il
American taxpayers.
In particular. they objected 10 the
cruiser clauses. asserting these in
volved a departure from the accept
ed policies Of American Naval con
struction.
They argued the pact placed an
undesirable restriction on eight
inch gun cruisers and authorized
the construction OF a large fleet al
six-inch gun vessels. a type Of war
craft which they said was not suit
ed 70 the naval needs Of the coun-
try.
On the question OF the compare
tive merits Of the six and eight-inch
gun cruisers. the ranking officers q
the navy were in disagreement. They
expressed differing points OF view

lations and naval committees.

HOOVER -UNMOVED
BY LIQUOR cLAMOR
premature" WickerSham
Report Makes President
!. Slow to Speak. ...
BY FREDERIC. WILLIAM VILE.

President Hoover has adopted one
definite policy on prohibition. He Is
determined not to be "stampeded" into
any action on it, one way or the other
Wet clamor and dry clamor alike have
left him utterly unmoved, so far The
administration, having observed how
pressure in Congress and by the public
brought about premature" declarations
. from the Wickersham National Law
Enforcement Commission, has decided
not to ego OF half cooked" itself
This analysis of the Hoover state of
mind on the national question of the
hol1r is forthcoming as result OF the
recent allegation by Capt. w. H. Stay
ton. chairman Of the board Of the Asso-
citation Against the Prohibition Amend
T1ef1t. " Can't. Stayton wrote frlen0
in Philadelphia in February that the
President "is beginning to doubt whether
prohibition can be enforced" Inc
letter was introduced in evidence be-
fore Senator Caraways lobby inVestl-
cation committee when the vets had
their recent days in court on Capltol
Hill. Dry leaders insist that the as
closure of Mr.. Hoover's pretended mis-
rivinrs about the enforceability OF the
LIQUOR laws is part and parcel OF a
campaign to smoke the President OUT
White House visitors do not md MI.
Hoover louuacious, or even moderately
informative, as to his own attitude In
the presence of what he knows to be
Nationwide controversy. Yet he con-
views an unmistakable impression that
he is graphing with it In his own
mind. He has not apparently pro-
Ceeded very far from his position that
1t Is 20 noble experiment which has 70
be constructively worked out"
Some authorities who have had occa-
aion to talk prohibition with the
President get the impression that ne Is
carefully scrutinizing the arithmetic
of the problem, as exempl1f1ed by the
national polls, and is drawing certain
unacceptable conclusions from them. A
disclosure said to be stressed at the
White House is that there is as yet no
approximation to either modifcatlon
or repeal figures which suggest the
possibility of either .re-making or aooI-
ishing the eighteenth amendment.
One high administration spokesman
told this writer that the big wet figures
rolled up in popular polls are meaning
less as effecting the possible repeal OF
the liquor amendment because they
disclose no fewer than 81 States against
repeal. Only Is States are necessary
under the Constitution, to block a
change In the amendment.
