ANTI-WAR TREATY

OPPOSITION GBOUP GAINS A CONVERT. United Press Association—By Electri* Telegraph—Copyright. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. When Congress met to-day alter the holidays, the small group opposing tho Kellogg Treaty, gained another convert. Senator Blaine, of Wisconsin, introduced a resolution proposing to eliminate the unoffiical reservation of colony protection which Britain set forth in the Note to the United States before the treaty was signed. Senator Blaine’s resolution proposed to state for the Senate the opinion that tho Britain Note was not an official reservation. The resolution was tabled along with a resolution proffered by Senators Moses and Heed, the resolution proposing to protect traditional American foreign policies from any interpretations of the treaty. Senator Blaine made a short statement, in which he charged Britain’s ! effort to state her policy of national defence toward the colonies as nothing more than an effort to restate Article ten of the League Covenant.
