WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.— Bena-
torial opponents of-the new four-
power Pacifie peace treaty will
launch their fight on it in the
ope a Senate at once. Senator Bo-
rah, Idaho, who has thus far
maintained silence regarding the
treaty, is expected to attack in a
speech to the Senate either today
or tomorrow.
President Harding and his
chief lieutenants have completed
plans for crushing the Senate op-
position.
AN AurEnNATIVI
They will offer the Senate the
alternative of the „for-power
treaty, which makes it safe to dis-
arm,- or a continuance of the An*
glo-Japanese alliance which makes
It unsafe for the United States to
disarm.
Administration, officials today
said they "had’the jump” on the
opposition and intended to keep
it. Harding, Hughes and Lodge
all believe senators who fight the
treaty will sign their own political
death warrants.
ESSKNTIAL
As one official pointed out to-
day. the treaty to an essential to
the success of the arms confer-
ence. It would be regarded here
as a calamity if the Hughes pro-
gram of naval armament limita-
tion shquld go thru and the Anglo-
Japanese alliance at the same
time remain in force.
America regards that alliance
as a menace. The new treaty con-
verts it Into a bulwark of peace,
the administration feels. -
