NEW TREATIES.
RATIFIED BY U.S. SENATE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Washington, March 29. The Senate ratified the Naval Treaty by 74 votes to 1. The Senate ratified the Submarine and Poison Gas Treaty by 71 to nil. Senator France, who was the only one to vote against the ratification of the Naval Treaty, said it was not easy to mar the beautiful picture of unanimous ratification, but he believed that thereby he served the people’s welfare. He did not want to see disarmament or the disappearance of navies until means were found to remedy international wrongs. Senator Borah followed and asserted his thankfulness for the degree of naval disarmament achieved. He did not doubt it was the utmost possible at the recent conference, but he warned the world that it must not accept it as a completed programme—it was only the beginning. Public opinion brought the conference about, and they must continue holding the opinion in favor of further disarmament.
