The Fr?tent Arbitration Pact With !
Denmark Wiil Expire '
today
(Py Associated Press)
Copenhageu^Deninark, March 28.
Danish aenahff?tpday failed to ratify
the new obligatory arbitration treaty
with the United States. The old trea
ty expires tomorrow.
Washington, Mardi 28.-The refusal
of the Danish senate to approve the
Danish-American^ ?arbitration treaty
greatly surprised state officiai depart
ment officials. That the treaty must
be rejected by the United States sen
ate because-of the consistent attitude
of the-senate against all general ar
bitration treaties had been deemed a
possibility. Secretary Bryan recent
ly addressed the senate committee on
foreign relations in support of thia
treaty. While some objections devel
oped, lt waa believed that these would
be overcome by. slight amendment and
that the Ben. ate--could be indubed to ac
cept the principle of unlimited arbi
tration -contained in the treaty, which
it formerly had rejected.
The action af the Danish senate,
was a genuine surprise for thc rea
son that, as stated on tho authority
of Secretary Bryan himself, this treaty
was made at the request of the gov
ernment of Denmark, which had made
a similar treaty with Italy,
