Senator Hitehcuck said that —legat Precedents were that a supplement- ary document was a part of the orig- mal contract and he thought it was too Inte to consider the declaration. Senator Hitchcock emphasized” his point that the declaration was “at- tached” to a part of the four-power treaty. This was denied sharply by Senator Lodge. The Nebraska sena- tor asserted that Senator Lodge has “lost his opportunity” yesterday to have the declaration ratified. “Then senator can present that to the supreme court,” Senator ‘Lodge retorted, adding that ratification of the ion was not important and did not “matter a straw one way or the other.” He said he was will- of Mr. odge’s plan to have} ing to have the declaration ratified if} other senators desired. ; Senator Lenroot said the courts would regard the last notition of the senate as binding and this was the resolution of ratification. Senator Hitchcock, however, asserted that if the question should be raised “any court would be bound to say. that the senato had not legally ratified the treaty.” In the earlier debate today, Sena- tor Pittman, Democrat, Nevada, as- verted that either the declaration must be a part of the treaty and must re- quire senate ratification or else it tould have no binding effect. He in- Fisted that it was submitted to the senate as an integral part of the main instrument and that the senate had feclined in effect to ratify it.

In his argument that it was im- t to determine the validity of ‘accompanying declaration” in re- yard toe domestic questions, Senator Pittman cited the speech recently nade in California made by the Brit- sh ambassador, Sir Auckland Geddes ind quoted as containing an assertion (Continued on Page Four) DARDANELLES IN LEAGUE’S HANDS island of Sakhalin, occupied by the jtreaty pending Japanese, would be excluded from the developments ip rival of ‘the Ark and Dove, and the Tufts college today announced plans landing of Lord Calvert on St. Clem-| for a course of lectures by radio.
