KELLOGG PACT.

RATIFICATION EXPECTED. yum** «—wi WITHOUT AMENDMENTS. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian Press Association.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. The Senate has unanimously agreed to limit the debate on an important electric-power measure, which now has precedence over other bills. The way is now apparently paved for speedy action on the Kellogg anti-war treaty. It is confidently predicted that the treaty will be reported to the Senate by the Foreign Relations Committee tomorrow without reservation or amendment and it is believed the treaty will be ratified without any changes before the end of the present session of Congress in March. The Parliamentary situation is such that it is most probable that the bill providing for 15 cruisers will be discussed concurrently with the treaty, a part of each legislative day being devoted to considering each measure. Admiral C. F. Hughes, Chief of Naval Operations, in his annual report, says Congress will be asked to provide an enlisted naval personnel of 88,500 for the fiscal year 1929-1930, this figure not including allowances for nucleus crews or for the number of men required to commission vessels now in course of construction.
