did not uss the famous Wilsonian phrase of ratification without the ng of a t or the dotting of an i but it was evident from the one ot his message that ha meant The question before us president said Is not er we shall have a treaty with either three more cruisers or four less cruisers or whether we shall have a larger reduction in tonnage Treaty ot Ko If is whether we shall haw this treaty or no treaty The president's message waa re ad- to an attentive chamber that contained 58 of the 96 bers of the more It haA MB diligent both republican and leaders drew the from seashore and other retreats in time for the initial call Mr Hoover not only tho terms of the treaty in his message but endeavored to wer some of the criticisms ot the pact which have been voiced by admirals of the navy and

within this 3 per cent comes the lesser Question of whether 30.000 tons of ships armed with guns are ter than 380.000 tons of ships armed with guns On this point be conceded the opinion of the navy high com- mand is divided Mr Hoover made a point of the global reduction permitted under the terms of the treaty The aggregate navies of the three powers are reduced by nearly tons he said Not as much as had been hoped for but still sufficient to enable all the ers to effect considerable ings This treaty does mark an im- portant step In disarmament and In world peace he concluded It is for many
