Mr. Kellogg Steps In
PACT WRANGLE GOES ON Senators’ Stubbornness Roused (Australian and N.Z. Press Associationf WASHINGTON, Wednesday. MR. F, B. KELLOGG, Secretary of State, backed by President Coolidge, stepped into the Senate Treaty controversy with the result that the pending agreement, which appeared hopefnl, was turned down flatly. Therefore the debate must continue.
■p ESERVATIONISTS are prepared to tear into 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 conference of senators, after which Senator Borah announced that he could not accept the proferred unani-mous-consent agreement because Mr. Kellogg insisted on having the treaty ratified without even the committee of the Senate explaining that, accord-
ing to their understanding, the Pact does not limit American right of selfdefence or curb the Monroe Doctrine. The refusal of the agreement to which Senator Reed, the Pact’s chief foe, assented to-day, has intensified the feeling of the reservationists against the Pact, and particularly spurred them on to attack Mr. Kellogg because of his entry into the Senate situation and attempt to dominate the moves of the Pact’» sponsors.
