KELLOGG PACT
A SPIRITLESS DEBATE POSSIBILITY OF AGREEMENT United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Austrxlian Press Atscciation) WASHINGTON, Bth January. With the day consumed in a spiritless debate, the ,Senate adjourned to-night with the possibility of an early agreement for the ratification of the Kellogg Pact somewhat near.
A tentative understanding calls for a report by the Foreign Relations Committee stating its interpretation of American right under the treaty, and the transmission of this report to other Powers without such interpretation being made part of the Senate resolution ratifying the treaty. It is uncertain, however, whether Senator Borah will accept this. It is understood the interpretative report would emphasise America’s right to defend its territory, the maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine, and the negation of any obligation of the United States to enforce the treaty.
