a treaty of permanent peace by the
terms of which France and the United
States agree to submit to a neutral
court all differences that may arise be-

honor and vital interests of either re-
public may be involved.

treaty was signed for France by Jean

of movement in all countries for the
reduction of armaments and the absc-

view is that a tremendous impetus has
been given to the worldwide peace
campaign.
