day despite signs of waning inter-
ts of the leaders to regard ratiflea-;
n as a foregone conclusion.
For more than three hours, in a;
nate chamber which most of the

ed, Democrat, Missouri, assailed
th the four power and naval treat-
s which he said would stick to-
ther to put the United States in a
stion of "helplessness" in the Pa-

tng the "5-5-3- naval settlement had
en misrepresented and put into the
cord figure of his own designed
show that superiority of speed arm-
neat and auxiliary craft would great-
'increase the relative strength of the
itish and Japanese navies.
The Missouri senator's address was
terrupted half a dozen times by sen-

had finished the debate drifted to
