NAVAL PACT FIGHT LEWIS HURLS DRY ISSUE.INTO SENATE - RACE [N ILLINOIS IN SENATE IS SEEN] _ e e Fierce Opposition Forecast Regardless of Terms of London Treaty. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. ‘Whatever emerges from the London Naval Conference — five-power treaty, three-power pact, consultative clause or anything else—is already assured of flerce opposition in the United States Senate. The big Navy forces are gird- In%!.helr loins to that end. Their first fight will be directed against any pre- cipitate action in the direction of rati- fication. Any effort to rush ratification, as the Harding administration sought to do in 1922 following the Washington Conference, will be resisted. If present plans materialize, there is Httle prospect that the Senate will come finally to grips with the London treaties until some time in 1931. Congress is scheduled to adjourn June 1. Senators who believe that the United States has “lost the conference” and “sacrificed the Navy” are intent upon having Sec- retary Stimson’s work in London ex- haustively reviewed before appropriate Senate committees. There are sugges- tions of protracted hearings before both the foreign relations and naval com- mittees. That would practically make ratifying action impossible before the next session of Congress, in December, and probably would delay it untl early next year. - Points of Opposition. If the terms of a tripartite agree- ment turn out to be of the kind hitherto reported, certain Senators are prepared to attack them as unfair to. if not actually unsafe for, the United States. Parity with Great Britain is achieved by the Stimson-Macdonald arrange- ments, it is declared. only in paper figures. Not only is British battleship superiority during the next five years stabilized, the prospective critics of & three-power treaty complain, but John Bull has committed Uncle Sam to & fleet, of small, 6-inch cruisers for which America has no real need. Even worse than that, senatorial malcontents la- ment, is America’s acceptance of a lower quota of big, 8-inch, 10,000-ton cruisers than we do need. These al- leged shortcomings are going to be pil- loried as “victorles” for the British an costly “defeats” for America. As to Japan, it will be contended that the United States has executed an equally undignified and perilous kow-tow. conference determined to obtain 70 per cent of any cruiser, destroyer and sub- marine strength allotted to America. The United States was determined that Japan should not get more than 60 per cent. As the senatorial guardians of our naval destinies view it, Japan has carried the day. In the submarine category, they point out, Japan emerges not merely with 70 per cent of Ameri- can smgfidhun with 100 per cent, as the -Matsudaira agreement yields her parity with the United States on a 52,000-ton basis. “Hand-picked” Delegation. ‘The impending ratification controver- 8y is in danger of developing into 8 battle royal between adherents of the Navy, on the one hand, and the “Stats Department admirals,” as the Stimso- nians aze being called on Capitol Hill. Before the ruction has progressed very far, either in committee hearings or in Senate debate, the thought is bound to find expression that national defense is being sacrificed to produce a conference precincts of tle State, while Smith's lesser advantage was thought to have assured him the other beith. on the party's_ticket, e ormary, Walter .

It is . P. side that big Navy guns are expected to bark the loudest. Be- fore they are spiked, there may be some diverting revelations. At least one Sen- ator is filled with curiosity as to just how the personnel of our London naval advisers and experts came to be selected. He suggests it was “hand-picked” and not truly representative of Navy senti- ment. Senator Borah has never had faith in any naval treaty which does not make definite provisions for safeguard- ing America’s neutral rights in wartime —the ticklish “freedom of the seas” fssue. To what extent the foreign re- lations eh: is ready to buck & London treaty, which wholly sidesteps “freedom of seas,” has not disclosed.

Support Is Assured. ‘The administration is ready to put s vigorous fight for ratification of itever treaty the American delegation belleves the country can that cause of peace and naval limitation will be effec- tively advanced, if not completely vic- torious, as a result of a three-power agreement.

The first repercussion of the Illinois primary, in which Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick defeated Senator Deneen, was heard in the Senate today when Senator Dill of Washington, a Demo- crat, took Mrs. McCormick's victory as a text upon which to base an attack on cmmuuan adherénce to the World The Washington Senator declared that Senator Deneen was ficed on the altar of those internationalists who wish this country to enter the World fioun and eventually the League of Na- ons.

He said that he hoped the result of the election would be a warn- President Hoover, and that the ate the proposal of American adherence to the World Court with the so-called Root formula. “Senator Deneen,” said Senator Dill, ‘is an honest man and a good Senator and belongs to the cleaner factions in Chicago politics. He deserved re-elec- tion, if any Republican Senator can be said to deserve re-election. Yet he was defeated, and the main cause of his defeat was his support of the World Court.’ “Does the Senator from Washington mean.” interrupted Senator Gillett of Massachusetts, “that the less clean or- ganizations of Chicago opposed Senator Deneen merely because he was for the World Court?” Formula Not Presented. Senator Dill brushed the interruption aside, declaring that the World was the real issue in the McCormick- Deneen campaign. “I hope that President Hoover will take notice of this decision of the people of Illinois,” continued Senator Dill. “The President has never yet presented to the Senate the World Court with the Root formula. I hope he never will. If he considers the voice of the people he certainly will not do _so.
