PACT NOT VALID
In Answer to Borah Resolution
President Says Democratic
Treaty Has No Binding
Effect Whatever Either in
the Past or Future.
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."
