Treaty Vote Hangs on Pair Arrangements in Senate
In an executive session this afternoon the Anglo-American arbitration treaty was considered. Senator Davis sought a unanimous agreement on a vote date for the treaty as a whole. Senator Carter objected to a vote until pairs for absent senators on the treaty could be arranged two for one. Davis accepted the pair plan and stated it should not block a vote. An understanding was reached that Davis would renew his request next Monday with likely no objection to fixing a date.
