today declared the senate must choose

with nival HmiUtlona, and peace, or a
renewal of the A nglo-J a pa nese alliance.
unlimited naval competition and war.
In a peech urging ratification of the
four-power Pacific pact. Lodge said' Its
acceptance is the-only means of ending
the ABglo-Japanese ' alliance, and of
making; possible the naval holiday pro-
vlded for in the 6-5-3 treaty. Defeat
of the treaty. Lodge' said, would meaa
failure of the arms conference. - r
He left the inference that the' United
States could not ratify the 'naval limi
tation treaty if the four-power " pact
were not approved, because the Anglo-
Japanese alliance then would confront
a reduced American navy.
SATS IT MEASS PEACE -
