PACIFIC TREATY IS ASSAILED BY =| COAST SENATOR Johnson Criticizes Pact as Quadruple Alliance Infringing on Policies That Have Guided America WASHINGTON, March 13.—Assailing the four-power ¢ | treaty as a “quadruple alliance,” can, California, told the senate today that its ratification would mean not only a recession from American tradition, but a national surrender under threat of foreign powers. If the statements of the treaty’s friends are to be accepted, Senator Johnson declared, and abro- pendent actions,” continued the Cali he Casrer Daflp Cridune HOPE OF AVERTING GIANT COAL STRIKE ABANDONED asserted Senator Johnson, is not un- like that which was presented by the league of nation. “Fo> the second time,” he sald, “the senate is asked to change the foreign policy which has prevailed in the ie public sinee we became a nation. The old familiar arguments ring out again * * © that we may be forced today to accept what yesterday we rejected. From the beginning of the contest concerning the league of nations, some of us have endeave- xd to make plain that our position was not one of aloofness of isolation for the United States. We neither expect nor wish to live a hermit nation. I believe in con sultations and conferences among the nations of the earth No leagues are required for this; no alliances; no en gagements to devise efficient means to meet aggression; no freezing of vp status quo by ambigtous treatii that wronged peoples will be roemtiied without redress. “Openness, frankness, the sunlight of publicity alone are required. To just this sort of thing we looked for: ward in the lim'caton cf armament River when their Senator Johnson, Republi- fornia senator, “is nothing In the end but that one word—danger. The Ang- loJapanese, the gentlemen on the other side, exposes us to danger. Therefore, wo have no choice. We must accept this treaty. “7 shall vote against this treaty be- ceurs if any alliance can ever speak \o this treaty with the word “must” tuon the spirit which made this coun- try safe when it was feeble, will have departed from it and our record in his. | tory will be that striving to barter our heritage for safety, we lost safety itself.” Mr. Johnson quoted many utter ances of Japanese and ‘British states- men giving assurance that the Anglo- Japanese alliance never was directed against the United States and asserted if these solemn declarations were not to be believed then this government was following a foolish policy by es tablishing a partnership with powers which had deliberately deceived the conference.

Have we entered into partnership with them because we did not believe their pro- testations, and feared they might at some future time join forces against us? “The fact is Sritain bad an itksome alliance.
