THE NAVAL TREATY.
POLITICAL OPPONENTS. MOVE IN AMERICA. BASES IN PACIFIC. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Jan. 18, 7.45 p.m. Washington, Jan. 17. Democratic political newspapers are circulating rumours that ex-President Wilson has definitely declared himself against the Four Power Pact on the grounds that it is contrary to the League of Nations, and they estimate his opposition wili induce several supporters of Senator Underwood to leave him and vote against the treaty, bringing the total opposition up to sufficient numbers to ensure its defeat. The Republicans, however, declare they welcome the introduction of the League issue, which caused the downfall of the Democrats at the last election. Various minor changes are being made in the naval agreement to bring it into accord with the views of the respective Governments referring to fortifications and bases in the Pacific. It is not clear whether Australia or New Zealand will be affected, though possibly the area understood by those names will be more definitely specified, instead of the general exclusion of regions south of the equator. —Special to Australian Press Assn.
