TREATY ATTACKED
HOOVER WILL NOT GIVE SECRET PAPERS SENATORS VERY ANNOYED United P.A.—By Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 9.50 a.m. WASHINGTON, Fri. President Hoover today rejected the Senate’s request for the secret documents relative to the London Naval Treaty. In a brief pointed message he said the negotiations had involved statements to him in confidence and he could not allow himself to become guilty of a breach of trust.
No Senator had been refused an opportunity to sec the confidential material referred to, provided only he would agree to receive and hold the same in the confidence in which it had been received and held by the executive.
This refusal prompted Senator Norris, Republican member for Nebraska, to offer the first reservation to the Pact and led to a vigorous attack upon the executive message by Senator Johnson, Republican member for California.
The message reached the Senate in the midst of a denunciation of the treaty by Senator Hale of Maine.
