IN CONTROL OF RADIO BUST ON SHIP KILLS 15 RUSS Washington, March 14.--Secretary of State Hughes wrote ..the four-power Pacific treaty. The secretary himself volunteered this Information to Democrats. In a letter to Senator Underwood, Democratic senate leader and member of the American delegation, Secretary Hughes disposes of the authorship issue and characterizes intimations that the American delegates were induced to accept a cunningly contrived foreign scheme opposed to Ai&erican Interests as "a very poor and erroneous conception of the work ta connection with the conference." "I understand," the secretary wrote, "that in the course of debate in the senate upon the four-power treaty questions have been raised with respect to its authorship. It seems to be implied that in some way the American delegates have been Imposed upon, or that they were induced to accept some plan cunningly contrived by others and opposed to our Interests. "Apart from the reflection upon the competency of the American delegates, such intimations betray a very poor and erroneous conception of the work in connection with th^ conference, no part of which--whether within or outside the conference meetings--was J*egun, prosecuted or concluded in Intrigue. Nothing could be farther from the fact. "It is, of course, wholly Inconsistent with the amenities of international intercourse that the informal and confidential suggestions and conversations Incident to negotiations should be stated, but the senate may be assured that a full disclosure of everything said or done in the course of the negotiations would reveal nothing derogatory to the part taken by any of the American delegates or Invite any position not entirely consistent with the traditional policies of thin government. "It Bhould be remembered that the four-power treaty (dealt with a subject --the Anglo-Japanese alliance--which as an Agreement between two powers competent to make and continue It, was not, and in the nature of thingB could, not be, appropriately placed upon the agenda. Technically it was a matter outside the conference. "While I cannot, of course, undertake to state what was proposed or suggested in confidence by any of the delegates I think It entirely proper to say that the negotiations relating to the four-power treaty were conducted within limitations defined by the American government. "The views of this government as to the importance of the termination of the Anglo-Japanese alliance had been communicated long before the conference met and it had also been clearly stated that this government could enter into no alliance or make any commitment of the use of arms or which would Impose any sort of obligation as to its decisions in future contingencies. It must deal with any exigency according to its constitutional methods. 'In preparation for the conference, the American delegates reviewed the matter thoroughly and the entire course of the negotiations in connection with the four-power treaty was In accord with those principles, and, as 1 have said, within the limits which we defined. "The treaty itself is very short and simple, and is perfectly clearT It requires no commentary. Its engagements are easily understood and no ingenuity in argument or hostile criticism can add to them or make them other or greater than its unequivocal language sets forth. There are no secret notes or understandings. 'In view of this, the question of authorship is unimportant. It was signed by four powers whose delegates, respectively, adopted it, all having made various suggestions."
