THE PACIFIC TREATY.
FEELING IN THE UNITED STATES
SENATE.
LONDON, February 23rd.
It is reported from Washington that a majority of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee favour Seantor Brandegee's proposed reservation to the Pacific Treaty absolving the United States from any obligation, legal or moral, relating to the insular possesions or dominions of any other Powers and stating that the consent of Congress must first be obtained to any adjustment or understanding under Articles One and Two but that no obligation be imposed to give such con Boat. Neither President Harding nor Benstor Lodge appear irreconcilably opposed to a reservation in this` fazmo. Senator Johnson has tabled a reservation limiting the Signatory Powers' rights, referred to in the Treaty, to undisputed rights and reserving the Powers full liberty of judgment in any dispute re garding the validity of rights.
