FRANCE AMD THE TREATIES. - be recalled-thk- t whenf Prcsl- denTHarding transmitted the armament conference treaties to the United States senate with - an expression' of bis approval, the White House let it be known thst in sendipg .the pact to the ratifying branch of the government the matter was ended so far as the executive concerned. The senate might ratify or reject, as it pleased; th preai. dent did not propose to argue, urge,'fo i cajole, threaten or beg; it was up to the senate Mr. Harding kept hie word. AU through the senate diecus- sioa the White - House maintained silence. The pacts were ratified. There were some reservations, designed,' to be "" sure, more to demonstrate to a gaping world the independence of the United States senate than to meet any real oversight or defect in the treaties. The senate wanted to give the world an exhibition of freedom of action; quite' independent of anything the t armament conference may have 'accomplished. ' Pane cables give the intelligence that the French chamber, not to be outdone, is preparing, when the treaties come before it for ratification, to do ae well, perhaps even better. Following the ex-- . ample of the United States senate, the chamber also will give the world an illustration of its independence.
