FOUR-POWER AGREEMENT.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1931.
Washington, Dec. 10.
The draft of the proposed Treaty between the United States, Great Britain, France and Japan was submitted to a plenary ses- alon to-day. The Agreement is valid for ten years. The four na tions engage to respect their existing rights in their insular posses sions and dominions on the Pacific, and they agree in case a dispute cannot be settled dipkmatically to a joint conference among them- selves. Any one of the parties may withdraw on twelve months" notice. The Treaty requires confirmation of the Senate. -
Senator Lodge read the Four Fawer Treaty.
In Article I the parties agree to respect their rights relative to their insular possessions and insular dominions on the Facile. It there should develop between any of the parties a controversy arising out of any Pacide question involving the sald rights which can not ba effect the satisfactorily settled by diplomacy and is likely to harmonious accord now happily subsisting between them they shall invite the parties to a joint conference, to which the whoľa subjectį will be referred for consideration and adjustment.
Article 2 provides that if any rights are threatened by aggres- sive action of any other Power the parties shall communicate fully and frankly in order to arrive at an understanding regarding the most efficientest measures to be taken jointly or separately to meet the exigencies of the particular situation.
In Article 3 it is stated that the Agreement remains in force for ten years, after which it continues in force subject to the right of any of the parties to terminate it upon twelve months' notice.
Article 4 says the Agreement shall be ratified as soon as possible in accordance with the constitutional methods of the parties and shall take effect on the deposit of ratiñcations in Washington, where- upon the Anglo-Japanese Agreement concluded in London on 13th July, 1911, shall terminate.
All the Powers concerned have ageed to the Quadruple Alliance which is now being finally drafted.
At the plenary session. Senator Lodge explained that the sign- ing of the Treaty by the United States was subject to the conclusion of a convention with Japan concerning the status of Yap and the mandated Pacific islands. He described the Treaty as an attempt to remove causes of war over a great area of the globe by reliance on the good faith and honest intentions of the signatory nations in solving all differences through processes diplomacy, joint considera. tion and conciliation. If the nations of the earth still in the inner-i most recesses of their consciousness were planning or dreaming of coming wars and longisp for conquesta no partition treaties no alliance could stay them, but if, as he firmly hoped, the world had learned the frightful lesson from the awful experience of the great war then he was surest an appeal, in order to prevent wars, must! to the hearts, sympathies, reason and higher motives of mankind. M. Viviani praised the Treaty us a clear and precise presenta- tion of the great principle. France gladly accepted her place in: the new international accord.
Mr. Balfour expressed faith in the new arrangement which was potent for god in international relationships. The Treaty made it apparent that the Angh-Japanese Alliance was no longer necessary! British and Japanese friendship had passed through the ordeal of two great wars and something closer united them than the mere words of the Treaty. All his life he had persistently advocated the most intimate and most friendly relations between the two greatest! branches of the English-speaking race. Pronzed and tumultup4| applause). They therefore saw how deep was his satisfaction in seeing four great Powers putting their names to a treaty which for: all time would lead for peace in the territory concerned.
Referring to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, Mr. Balfour sald) Britain would have found herself faced with misunderstanding in the United States if the Alliance continued and misunderstanding | in Japan if the Alliance was renounced. The only sofat? n therefore was to merge the old arrangement into the new, embracing all nations interested.
Prince Tokugawa voiced Japan's gratification at the Agreement and reciprocated Mr. Balfour's appreciation of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. He was confident that the peace of the Pacifc would be fally protected by the new arrangement. All Japan would approve of the consummation of this work and rejoice at the pledge of the peace of the Pacific.
Signor Schanzer wiced Italy's satisfaction.
3. KameSeek said the Treaty would be received in Hollandi with the full belief that it would go far towards bringing about permanent peace.

Mr. Alfred Sze expressed China's satisfaction. He supposed On Saturday morning at Cajon Church, Bev. J. Kick Maconachie the Agreement would be supplemented by farther conventions to officiating, the manage took place include China and all the Powers interested in the Far East.
