(AP) Senator Robinson, Arkansas, who helped to write the London naval treaty, today gave the senate the reasons why he believes it should be ratified while others of its friends worked on plans to speed action by assuring the constant presence of a quorum. The second week of debate found 52 senators answering the opening roll call. President Hoover had consulted Senator Watson, the republican leader, and Chairman Borah of the foreign relations committee on the question of inducing absentee senators to return.

Two senators hitherto absent, Kean of New Jersey and Gould of Maine, were present today. Outlines Reasons Addressing his colleagues, Robinson expressed hope the treaty debate would not develop personal or partisan hostility or antagonism. He cited his reasons for favoring the pact as follows: "2-The treaty accomplishes substantial reduction in capital ships, by accelerating the scrapping by Great Britain of five; by the United States of three, and by Japan of one of these very costly vessels. "3-Japanese submarines will be greatly reduced and the use of these outlaws of the seas will be restricted by the treaty so that their effectiveness when attacking will be comparable to that of surface craft. "4 -It is indisputable that the treaty gives the navy of the United States a better relative position with respect to the navies of Great Britain and Japan that it occupied at the time of the conference.

Rivalries Allayed "5-The treaty tends to allay the fears and rivalries which prior to its negotiations threatened to involve the three countries in intense competition respecting sea power and commerce. "6-The refusal of advice and consent by the senate to ratification would theraten serious consequences." Senate attention was diverted for a while to the controversy between it and President Hoover over the secret correspondence leading up to the treaty negotiations. Answering the refusal to deliver the papers, Senator McKellar, democrat, Tennessee, an opponent of the fact, said: "The president speaks of breach of trust. There has been only one breach of trust. The president has committed a breach of against the senate, his co-equal and in treaty making." Phelan Gains After Relapse in Illness SAN JOSE, July 14.

Coolidge COPYRIGHT 1950 NEWSPAPER -SYNDICATE REMOVAL OF UNCERTAIN FACTORS STIMULATES AMERICAN BUSINESS By CALVIN COOLIDGE Former President of the United States NORTHAMPTON, July 14.

(Special to Pasadena Post)-The economic progress not only of our own country but of the world at large has been retarded by three factors of uncertainty, the German bond issue, the tariff revision and the long session of the congress. All of these have now been removed. Business can stand anything better than uncertainty. A bad situation it can write off and then start anew, but when confronted by the unknown it can only remain inactive. The universal over-subscription to the German loan was most encouraging.

It shows the financial world has confidence in the Young plan and in the credit stability of Germany. It was also a gratifying illustration of a broad desire to restore Germany, and on our part, of a continuing purpose to help Europe. The worst and best is now fairly well known about the tariff. The congress will cease from troubling for a period of five months. International finance and domestic legislation have reached a more certain position.

Certainty is the basis of business confidence.
