PACIFIC TREATY.
TALK OF A SECRET PACT. STRONG DENIAL MADE. By Telegraph.—Press Aasn.—Copyright. Washington, March *2O. Senator Borah, continuing his attack on the Pacific Treaty, made a charge that a secret understanding had been reached by Britain and the United States to co-operate against Japan in case of trouble in the Far East. Senator Borah based the charge on a speech 'by Mr. Paul D. Cravath, in which the latter said he had been told by every member of the American delegation that , a thorough understanding existed between the American and British Governments in respect to co-opera-tion between the two fleets if necessary. Senator Borah said the same information reached him from Europe. Senator Lodge replied that no such understanding had been made within the knowledge of any member of the American delegation. 'Senator Underwood heatedly declared that for a statement like that of Senator Borah’s to go out of the Senate uncontradicted was a menace to the United States. “The Government says it
is untrue. I would use stronger terms, which it deserves, were I not speaking in the Senate,” he added.
