Tha Pour Power Pacific Treaty walca kaa come put of the dlsanaaaseat fernnce at Washington "la f tfas- cendent Importance to CatffaraW and of only less ImportaaM ' nation". Senator Hiram W. JohsaMsi of California declared In aUtsajsiat Usaed ber today. , 'Senator Johnson' stateMtat la fall follews: ' "There waa unlvorsal approval of tho original purpoio of the Washing ton Conference and 'substantial un animity In the hope and deslra that armaments would be limited.

Is no reaoaa why we must accept anything which may be tendered us In the sacrenflBaaa of peace or under the gulsa of disarm ment.

Thla treaty ta of transcendent -Importance ta CaHfer. nla and of only lesa Imporiaaea to the nation.

Time and the American people hare demonstrated tho opponents of the league were right. The lesson of this recent experience hat been little heeded. If again, without thoughtful consideration and without adequate knowledge, wo accept what may In. voire our country In unknown diffi culties and dange . "The facts, briefly and In general language stated In regard to the new quadruple atllanee, are these: "There existed between Great Brit ain and Japan an offensive and de fensive alliance under which Great Britain's colonies were chafing and the ternilnaton of which many prom Inent Englishmen, like Northellffe. were demanding. Japan wished a con. tlnuanco of this alliance and English statesmen were sorely troubled. The conference met and Japan delayed the consupimatlon of the naval ratio (.reposed by Secretaary Hugh. Wa knew about the nswal ratio because this was announcetTpubllcly. Wle did not know about the-treaty because It was received and agreed to tn secrecy. Apparently the British-Japanese al llance was a subject of discussion end Japan Insisted, If It were to be abro Rated,' upon something as good, and got something better. "The United States. Orcat Britain. France and Japan agree to the new Quadruple alliance, as Its preamble states: " 'With a vlow of the preser vation of tho general peace and tho malntenanco of their rights In relation to their Insular pos sessions and Insular dominions In tho regons of the Pacific. Ocean. "This language. It now appears, was the subject of prolonged debate tn the socret sessions. Wihat waa aatd, of course, the American people do not know and to what construction they wore bound, they are really wholly Ignorant. We do knqw, howeyer, that ,he Prasldcnt himself was not aware that, 'insular dominions'. Included Japan and Insisted In a public Inter vlow, that It did not. Messrs. Hughes.
