POSITION OF AMERICA
STATEMENT BY A SENATOR
(Received 9th January, 10.40 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Bth January.
Senator Moses in the Senate urged that the Kellogg Pact legalised wars instead of abolishing them. He urged that the exemptions set forth by leading European nations would bind the United States to a recognition of their secret self-defence treaties. He characterised Kellogg’s activities as “imperious impatience which is well known to us who have seen him display it here.” He said the treaty “amounts to the abandonment of any possibility of neutrality by the United States. It means that in any future war involving great European powers United States would lie in no position to contend for (lie freedom of the seas. It would mean the triumph of the historic British claim to ignore neutral interests.”
