THE PACIFIC TREATY
DEBATE IN THE SENATE. BRITAIN AND AMERICA. SECRET UNDERSTANDING ALLEGED Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. WASHINGTON, March 20. Senator Borah, continuing his attack on the Pacific Treaty, made the charge that a secret understanding had been reached by Great Britain and the United States to co-operate against Japan in the case of trouble in the Far East. Senator Borah based his charge on a speech by Mr Paul D. Cravath, in which the latter said that he had been told', by every member o£ the American delegation that a thorough understanding existed between the American and British Governments in respect to co-operation between the two fleets if necessary. Senator Borah said that the same information had reached him from Europe. Senator Lodge said that no such understanding was made within the knowledge of any of the members of the American delegation. Senator Underwood heatedly _ declared that for a statement of this kind to go out of the Senate uncontradicted was a menace to the United States Government. He said: “It is untrue. I would use stronger terms, which it deserves, were I not speaking in the Senate.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.
