Harding 10 Tell Senate No Recur of Negotiations
Washington experts report the Harding administration moved to hasten ratification of arms conference treaties by exposing all main issues in senate consideration. Republican leaders surveyed opinions on eight agreements, noting likely opposition to the four power treaty and Guam Philippines fortification limits, with Yap and submarine treaties facing least resistance. A reservation to require congressional authorization for armed force under the Pacific pact gains support and may pass.
