Speech #670203133

I would vote for it. but I warn you now. as I warned you on Saturday. that Japan is not likely to ratify it as a separate document. If we treat it as a separate document and ratify it. we leave it in the power of Japan to say no. Japan then will be able to ratify the document which we are. supposed to have ratified on Friday. and. shake her fingers at us as far as the reservation covering immigration is concerned. because Japan no longer has any interest in this declaration. Japan is protected in what she wants in this supplementary treaty. which is now theoretically before the Senate. The only thing the United States got in that treaty vas the reservationt regarding immigration. andyou dropped it out. and if you undertake to ratify it as a separate agreement you expose yourselves to the probability that Japan will say. "No. we will ratify the treaty as the Senate ratified it on Friday. and stop there" If you want to take your chances of that. all right. I certainly have done what I thought wass my duty in calling the attention of the Senate to this. great oversight which occurred on. Friday.
