Senate May Amend Pact Amid Naval Treaty Debates
Washington December 21 Republican senators press to add reservations to the four power Pacific treaty to clarify the United States stance on Japan's territorial integrity. President Harding’s position remains unsettled as aides note a possible White House stance while Secretary Hughes and Senator Underwood weigh the implications. Meanwhile Borah demands a rewritten clause to remove doubt and critics warn the pact could fail under public pressure. In naval talks Britain and France push for submarine limits and abolition, with French and British positions still diverging as Secretaries Hughes and Serreau disagree on meaning of messages from Premier Triant. The eastern question grows complex as Shantung mediation proceeds and Tokyo consults on the new cabinet. London reports Ambassador Harvey to meet Briand to resolve France’s stance on limiting arms.
