AMERICA'S "DIE-HARDS"
AGAINST AGREEMENTS
NO POLITICAL PACTS
NEW YORK, 20th February. The Washington correspondent of tho Now York "Times" says the old group of "irreconcilables" in tho Senate let it be known emphatically today that they would resist any commitments entered into at tho London Conference bythe American delegation which have a political tinge. The idea is being fostered that the sentiment of the Senate is rather definitely against the conclusion of any agreements such as would supplement the Kellogg Pact with consultative provisions.
Opposition to such a movo would probably bo led by Senator Borah, who has indicated that he would oppose vigorously any move committing the United States to joint action in case of violation of the Kellogg Treaty. There is a group in the Senato which is_ known not to opposo political commitments in order Jo secure naval
limitations, but at the present time they appeal- somewhat hesitant in expressing tlieir views.
