The Department of State will today begin. sending notifications to- the powers signatory to the treaties ne- sotiated at the Washington confer- ence and ratified by the Senate that this government is prepared to ex- ¢hange ratifications when the trea- tles are acted upon by the other sig- natoties. 3 Tt was said in official quarters here toddy that the other powers have been awaiting the action of the United States ‘Senate ‘'before = proceeding through their respective consti- tutional methods to accept the treaties, but that no undue delay, and certainly no default, is appre. hended. 2 Attitude as to Reservations. As to the reservations adopted oy the Senate, the viewpoint here fis that official notation of the reserva- | tions by the parties’is not necessary. Cognizance naturally will be taken of the construction pl‘ced by the United States on thetr medning and appli- cation, but expression of it will not be required. President Secretary Hughes and the members of, thed American delegation to the late con- ference are said to be profoundly gratified over the action .of the Sen- ate, and especially over the compara- tive celerity which characterized it. The administration, it is said, in full anticipation of the naval limita- tion treaty being speedily ratified by the other powers and the early com- mencement of practical steps to carry it out, will devote attention to the situation in Congress whic¢h lhren\-l ¢ns, through proposed drastle cuts in | the' naval appropriation bill, to de- stroy the ratio of effective naval {strength of the United States. Senate to Guard Strength. The Senate, it is believed, with per- habps a better comprehension of the relation of the appropriations to the {8pirit of the treaty, will be entirely | {out of sympathy with the radical ac- tion contemplated by the House'com- mittee, and should the full House fail to check the.reductions.proposed by the committee will insist. in confer- ence upon their.rejection.
