SENATE FACTIONS MAKE AGREEMENT ON KELLOGG PACT.
(United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegrrapti—Copyright.) (Received December 21, 10.25 a.m.) WASHINGTON, December 20. After a “filibuster” (stonewall) lasting over two hours the warring Senate factions agreed to delay consideration of both the Kellogg Treaty and the Naval Cruiser Bill until after the Christmas recess. Under agreement both measures will be put under the heading of unfinished business of the Senate on the order paper of January 3, and the Senate must then vote on which it desires to take up first. The agreement was made only as a last resort to prevent the filibuster continuing until December 22, adjournment time, and thus tying up all Senate business. The settlement was -"proposed bv Senator Borah, who gave his pledge that he would make a motion as soon as the Senate met on January 3 to proceed with consideration of the Treaty in the open executive session. Senator Borah indicated that he hoped in that manner to get the Treaty passed before the Naval Bill.—Australian Press Association.
