Previous lo the vote, the foreign relations committee
brought m a lavcn able report in which certain “under
standings ‘ of the treaty were expressed which might be
considered in the nature of reservations, except that the
report also stated that it was not intended to make any
reservations. Anyway, the Senate seemed satisfied with
this, and voted as stated.
Describing the action on the treaty, Frederick W.
Wile told the radio audience that again the Senate had run
true to form and had maintained its well-known reputa
tion fm.’ “conversation, investigation and reservation.”
While the treaty, which has now been adhered to by

SENATE CHARGES JAPAN HAS
MORE CRUISERS THAN U. S. !
BILL SURE TO PASS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. (£>)— j
Opponents of the 15 cruiser bill
massed their strength in a rather
futile effort to delay the passage
of that measure until the Presi
dent can negotiate with Great Bri
tain for another conference to li
mit navy armaments. Senators
Harrison, Nye and Norris spoke a
-ist the bill but Senator Bark
ley made an adequate defense and
urged quick action. He argued that
the United States was below Ja
pan as well as England in cruiser
strength.
The debate was waged in earn
est but excited little, interest be
cause it is now considered a fore
gone conclusion it will fail. Propo
nents of the measure are hope
ful for its passage as originally
drawn up with the exception of
the Borah amendment for the re
modification of maritime laws dur
ing war.
