NAVAL TREATY
U.S. SENATE.
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.]
(Received this day at 10.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON, July 11.
President Hover to-day rejected the Senate’s request for secret documents relative to the London Naval Treaty, and in a brief, pointed message he said the negotiations involved statements to him in confidence.' He could not allow himself to become guilty of a breach of trust. No Senator had been refused an opportunity to see the confidential material referred to, provided only he will agree to hold the same in the confidence in which it has been received and held by the executive.
Mr Hoover said the refusal had prompted Senator Norris (Republican of Nebraska) to offer the first reservation to the T.’act, and led to a cigorous attack upon the Executive. A message by Senator Johnson (Republican, California) reached the Senate in the midst of a denunciation of the Treaty by Senator Hale, of Maine.
