AMERICA AND BRITAIN.
SECRET PACT ALLEGED. HEATED DENIAL IN SENATE. A. and N.Z. WASHINGTON. March 20. Continuing the attack on th« Pacific Treaty in the Senate, Mr.- W. E. Borah alleged that a secret understanding had been reached by Britain and the United 6tates to co-operate against Japan in case of trouble in the Far East. Mr. Borah based the charge on a speech by Mr. Paul D. Cravatb, in which tjbe latter said that he had be«a told by every member of the United States delegation that a thorough understanding existed between the United States and British Governments in respect of co-operation between the two fleets if necessary. Mr. Borah said the same information reached him from Europe. Mr. H. C. Lodge replied that no such nnderstanding was made within the knowledge of any member of the United States delegation. Mr 0. W. Underwood heatedly declared that for a statement of this kind to go ' cut of the Senate uncontradicted was a menace to the United States Government. He said : " It is untrue, and I would call it the stronger term it deserves were I not speaking in the Senate."
