ANTI-WAR TREATY.

MR KELLOGG INTERVENES AGREEMENT TURNED DOWN. RESERVATIONISTS’ OPPOSITION (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—^opy right.) (Australian Press Association). (Received Jan- 9, 1-45 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Mr Kellogg, Secretary of State, backed by Mr Coolidge, has entered the Senate Treaty controversity with trie result that the pending agreement which appeared hopeful, was turned down flatly. Therefore the debate must continue. The Reservationlsts are prepared to harass the administration for "Failure to protect the rights of the United States.” , . Mr Kellogg’s entry as spokesman for Mr Coolidge, became known at a conTerence of senators, after which Mr Borah announced that he could not accept the proffered unanimous consent to an agreement because Mr Kellogg iusisted on having the Treaty ratified without even a committee of the Senate explaining that, according to their understanding, the pact does not limit American right of self defence, or curb the Monroe doctrine. The refusal of the agreement, to which Senator Reed (the pact’s chief enemy) assented to-day has intensified the feeling of the Reservalionists against the pact and has particularly spurred them on to attack Mr Kellogg, because of his entry into the Senate situation and his domination of the moves of the pact’s sponsors.
