Many Conferences Deeply ensnared in the legislative snar] in the senate involving the row over farm relief and an extra scs- sion, the Kellogg anti-war treaty was the subject teday of conferences looking to an early vote which would snap the tangle. Chairman Borah of the foreign re- lations cemmittee, sponsor of the pact, is standing firm against any interpretative declaration by the sen- ate on the treaty and says he has the vetes to defeat any such meve. ‘Thosc seeking the interpretation, however, happen also to be in the ¥roup anxious to get started on the pending cruiser construction bill and &et & farm measure through this ses- | sion with & view to avoiding the extra session.
