WASHINGTON, Mar. 8. The Lan- ilng lshil agreement has been ... com pletely suierseded by the nine power treaty relating to China now before the senate. President Harding inform ed the senate today in response to the recently adopted Koran resolution. The executive declared that the four power treaty did not refer to China and does not directly bear upon the Lansing- l.ktl . Ishil notes. The so-called Lanslng-Isbii agree ment," the president declared in a let ter to the senate has no binding effect whatever, either with respect to the past or to the future, which is iu any sense inconsistent with the principles explicitly declared in tho nine power treaty." The presidcut added that the four power treaty "docs not refer to China and hence does ot directly bear ujwn tho Lansing-lshii notes, which related exclusively to China." but said that the four power pact in his opinion was an "essential part ot the plan to create conditions in the Far East .at once favorable to tho policies we have long advocated and to an enduring peace." "The negotiation of this treaty." the president said, referring to the nine power pact, is in Itself the most formal declaration of the policy of the execu tive in relation to China and super sedes any executive understanding or agreement that could possibly be as serted to have contrary import. If the senate assents to this treaty, the prin ciples and policies which the treaties declare will be supported and enforced by a binding international agreement." Jury Disagrees Again SEATTLE.
