In laying before the senate the resu #¢ the work of the Washington confe: énge and inviting the promipt approval o “that body, President Haraifg gave full recognition to the fact that treaties are conclided by the advice and consent of the upper house of congress, but he took care ‘to impress upoh the senate that its duty was not being overlooked or considered of little i{mportance. / in 'nviting prompt approval he was not sotkifg dndue haste. His point appar- ently was to have the treaties given at- tention In keeping with their Importanée, ® avold needless delays in bringing them 8p and considering théem and by the im: mediate action upon them accord thefeto the recognition of value and importance !6 which they are entitied. The president well said that the trea- ties are all part of the effort “to put an *nd to contradictions, to remové am- biguities and establish clear understand- In#&” And as If to have it clearly undes 105d before any attempt might be made s faINé a questin over fuéh a matter 18 accentuated the point that In none of he treaties this country committed 4 any kind of an alliance, entanglement s Invélvement” It was upon this poimt ‘at strong opposition was raised to the #dput of mations and the ratification of Ma treaty of Versailles e country has been clamering for shss and for the relationship 6f nations it wewla premote peace rather tham grr.

Members < of the body which is now asked to act have participated In the ne- gotiations. They have =erved with otha representatives of the president and they at¢ 1h a pesition to explain any situa- tén or eliminate any doubt among the members of the senate.

As 4 resuft of an undérstanding between is country and Haytl we are exercis- ing a sort of protectoraté over the little republic in order to prevent it from go- ing into bankruptéy. Haytl has shown that its incapaefty for governing itself left it in danger of being selzed by its greditors or causing “an- embarrassing #ltuation to this country, which would of course frown upon any such act. i For 'hnt we have done Haytl doesn't: appear to be sati#fled. It either doesn't appréciate the sérvice or else it believes that the manner in which certain things have been done was unjustified.
