KELLOGG TREATS

RATIFICATION DELAYED.

IN UNITED STATES SENATE, ACTION BY RESERVATIONISTS. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.— Copyright.) (Australian Press Association.) (Received Dec 15, 9.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Deo. 14. The Reservationists, led by Senator Reed, succeeded in again delaying the expeoted vote on the ratification of the Kellogg Treaty in the Senate foreign relations committee. Senator Reed and others indicated in the executive debate that they would propose an accompanying resolution stating emphatically that the United States would accept no implied sanctions in the treaty and would reserve all rights regarding the Monroe doctrine. Senator Reed later said the Reservationists would seek to have this resolution transmitted to all the 59 signatory nations. Such resolution would have the effect of a reservation although it could not formally be classed as such. Senator Borah declared that the committee would meet again on December 17, and would sit every day until the treaty could be voted upon, but he admitted that the new delay made ratification before Christmas improbable. In the meantime word has been received that the Cuban Senate has ratified the document.
