He added! we have hereanent. "We may wake up to-morrow to and that agreed to defend the whole British Empire as that might well be included in Ensular possession and dominions.***

London, Dec. 2

The ratification ef the Pacific Pact by the United States Senate is regarded as doubtful. The endorsement of its prospects is not improved by President Harding's unfortunate interpretation of the agreement sa affecting the islands of Japan proper, although it resulted from his subsequent statement in accepting the Ameri can Conference delegation's interpretation. A disclaimer, how- over, is unlikely to end the matter, fer the anti-Pact senators are greatly bucked over the incident and Senator Borah is already making play with the argument that the Treaty is so vague that even the President and the Secretary of State cannot agrea on its meaning. Another argument likely to be employed is that the Pact imposes a moral duty on the United States to assist Japan against any at- tacks from Chias or eventually Russia. It is thought that some Interpretative rider should be added or the ratification by the Senate made upon reservations designed to fix the meaning indis-i *putably.

The whole episode is being regarded as particularly unfor-! tunate, because Japan has been subject to a long and lively com- mittee discussion, the Japanese at first holding that the inclusion of their dignity. Another subject their homeland was a blow to

attracting the attention of Washingon is the Shantung railway deadlock. There is an impression that Japan's demands savour of a wish to retain the reality of control while sacrificing merely its appearance.
