HOPELESS DEADLOCK OVER KELLOGG PACT

Cruiser Bill and Farm Relief “ONE PRELIMINARY TO ANGLO-AMERICAN WAR” SAYS LEADING RESERVATIONIST. United Press Association — By Electri* Telegraph—Copyright. Received Thursday, 7 p.m. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. The Senate’s legislative deadlock over the Kellogg treaty, the cruiser bill and farm relief, became hopeless to-day, when efforts to reach a settlement" were abandoned and opponents to their enactment threatened to start a filibuster which would indefinitely delay them. , Meanwhile, the settlement of other bills grows more remote. The reservationists continued the treaty debato, led by Senator Blaine, who "urged it was a one-sided declaration of British policy, certifying that notion’s control of the Empire. “With the recognition of the new British imperialism by America, two great English-speaking nations of the world were preparing themselves for a contest in tho division of the rvorld in the competitive struggle for lands, commerce, raw material and resources. “Concurrent with tho treaty is a big navy programme. What other docs it mean than war? This treaty is not even a truce j it is the beginning of a most stupendous struggle for world dominion and territorial aggrandisement. ’i’he clash may not come in our time but the treaty portends an eerly conflict.” He added: “Tho first commercial war would come, then one that none but the infinite mind can contemplate.” He said the treaty would legalise Britain’s betrayal of her promise of Egyptian independence.
