Swanson Opens Treaty Debate In The Senate Ranking Democrat on C o m m i t tee Advocates Ratification Leaders to Vote on Documents. Bv Francis M. Stephenson WASHINGTON, July 8 OP) The senate, began debate on the London naval treaty today with Senator Swanson, ranking democrat on the foreign relations and naval commit tees, advocating ratification. As tho Virginian spoke, leaders were preparing for a vote on the first Issue raised by the pact's opponents a demand for the documents relating to the London conference which President Hoover had denied the foreign relations committee. - Division of opinion A division of opinion prevailed on the resolution to that end offered by Senator McKellar, democrat, Ten nessee, some leauers proposed to have It voted upon as quickly as possible, believing it would make no differenco whether It was adopted or not Inasmuch as the president al ready has decided to withhold tne papers. Others wanted to defeat the resolution and wanted to make a fight against it. There Is doubt as to tne outcome oi tne vote. Senator Swansea's 12,000 word an alysis of the treaty and his demand for ratification cheered the advocates. He was the war time chairman of the naval committee and always has been regarded as a staunoh prepared ness advocate. There were Indications that the treaty proponents were willing to rest their case on Swanson's speech and the message presented yesterday by President Hoover. The Virginian said the treaty gives American a well balanced fleet for the first time; establishes naval supremacy for this country in the western hemisphere; saves the tax payers at least one bil lion dollars by checking naval com petition and is "promotive of peace." Today's opening , quorum call showed Just 50 senators answering only one more than tne 49 necessary to carry on business. Secretary Stimson, who headed the American delegation to London, ar rived on the senate floor shortly after Senator Swanson began his address. For the most part the senate mem bership remained through the long, speech and gave it close atteutnj. The galleries again were filled. , Doyle's Family Is Awaiting Word From Other Side " t -vvirw-T Tiilv a fm PronarnHnnfi' which Sir Arthur Conan'Doyle made to identify himself to his family, and certain others in the event of his return after deatn toaay was' wmoi discussed in spiritualistic circles; Whether identifications of - Sir ..ii.... ...m v nnonlttla Viv mAfirifl' nf fingerprints if he communicates from tno otner worm wae o ui uuc m"vu tlons.
