Senator Moses : Says Re

Papers Resented Few
Know Anything of Treaty
WASHINGTON. July 18. (jT-)
The- blunt statement that Presi
dent Hoover and Secretary Stlmson
"seriously affronted" the represen
tatives of tho American people In
refusing them the private treaty
documents, was made In the sen
ate today by Senator Moses, Re
publican, New Hampshire, during
an assault on tho London naval
agreement. . .
The New Knglandor said the "ex
ecutive, without right but with a
power which was brusquely exer
cised, declined to cooperate with
the senate as the constitution pro
vides," and Stlmson had taken the
attitude of "superciliousness mucii
more befitting to Ktn.n more (his
London residence) than to Woodley
this Washington home.)"
"Thus,1 he said, "being denied
the information which would right
fully liein our possession and being
under pressure hitherto unequaled
in an attempt to force the senate'
to do the executive bidding, and
being harassed by long hours 'n
the heat of nn Intolerable Wash
ington summer, I am seeking o
express my resentment and my re
sistance to forcible feeding in the
dark."
Haying, the "pitiful thing about
this treaty is that so few people
know anything about It and that
tut many people care nothing about
It." Senator Mo sen insisted it was
the "I'nited States which made nil
the materia) concessions" at Lon
