OF KELLOGG TREATY TO OUTLAW WAR EXPECTED Ratification Before March 4 Seen in Over~ whelming Sentiment in Favor of pact{. BY ARTHUR CAPPER. United States Senator From Kansas and Member of-the Senate Foreizn Relations Committee. Smlllonfiwltch to The Star. TOPEK. A. Kans., October 6.—My judgment is’ that the foreign relations committee undoubtedly will vote to ratify ths Kellogg treaty for the renunciation of war; and, furthermore, that trcaty will be ratified by the Senate bzfore March 4, 1929. This will probably be one of the first and certainly one of the most important tasks to be undertaken by the Senate at the next session. My judgment is based upon careful study of the sentiment of the country, not only as reflected 4 in newspapers and periodicals, but as expressed by individual citizens and . having large membership and influence.

No government which has signed and ratified the treaty would dare !> It would not only Kellogz treaty, and thus become an outlaw among nations, but it would alienate its own citizens and make itself subject to attack from within. The very simplicity of the treaty is its strongest feature, because it can and | will b> universally understood and in- | terpreted alike by all peoples whose governments have affixed signatures. While the treaty was negotiated by a Republican President and Republican Secretary of State—for both of whom it will be a source of enduring fame through generations to come—I am cer- tain that whatever opposition may de- velop in the Senatz will not be of a partisan character. The sentiment of Democrats as well as Republicans is for any measure that will advance the cause of international peace and good will. Furthermore, from a psiiisan standpoint, nothing could b2 more help- ful to the Republicans and more in- jurious to the Democrats than for the in conformity with the universal desire for an effective safeguard against war. There will, of course, b2 extended dis-ussion of the diplomatic corre- spondence preceding the signing of the | treaty, to determine whother there were in fact any important ‘“reservatioms,” as has been claimed, and to clarify also the fret that tha treaty will not in any way weaken or imperil the Monroe Doctrine. But the discussion will serve only to emphesize the merits of the peace pact and the strength of public scntiment for its early ratification. | The Phitips Memorial Gallery 1603 21st Street Announces its opening for the Scazon of 1923-29 .

Mr. Parran made it clear that his recommendation is not to be construed as an attempt to “overrun” the District. | but that it is an effort to clean up the situation in his own territory. | As he amplified, the two nearby Maryland counties and the Capital are virtually like one municipality, being built right together, and that it is natural, therefore, that cases arising in the two counties often affect resi- dents of the District. “Then.” he sald, “while we are pre- paring our case, and it may be one where criminality is involved, the wit- nesses get together with the P!‘Incipnls, square up matters, and that is. the end | 30 far as we are concerned.

His idea is the Maryland law furnishes a guide.
