PARIS OVERLOOKED
At j. 5. EXPENSE
triple Alliance" Designed to
Protect France Till League
Can Function
HOLD GERMANY IN CHECK
By the Associated Press

Paris. May 9.-The engagement for
Joint action by the United States and
Great Britain to assist France in case
of an unprovoked attack excited greater
interest and satisfaction in French
official and military quarters than the
treaty.
It is understood to have been the
elimination of conferences held by Pro
mier Clemenceau and Marshal Foch
The latter took the advanced military
view for complete defensive protection.
and the premier sought to reconcile this
with the more moderate view held in
the conference. and emphasized the diff q
culties attendant upon joint action by
the United States and Great Britain.
The announcement of the proposed
joint action by those two countries has
the effect of harmonizing the views of
NJ. Clemenceau and Marshal Foch on
the adequacy of French security against
Germany.
Several plans for joint military ac-
tion by the United States. Great Britain
and France were considered before the
present proposal was adopted. The
first plan was to secure joint action
under the covenant of the league of ma
tions. which provided that the league $
council will determine what military and
naval action should be taken against
states breaking the covenant.
1t was believed that the council under
this authority. could decide upon Joint
action by the United States. Great
Britain and France as an appropriate
form of defense against any resumption
of warfare on the part of Germany.
This plan was abandoned for the
present engagement. which is in the form
OF letter to be submitted to tho United
States Senate and the British ParIia
ment 1t is understood that the letter
requires approval by the United States
Senate in order to make the pledge
effective, and if this approval is given,
by resolution or otherwise, the engage
..lent would then be submitted for an-
proval to the league of nations coun-
ell.
maintain the engagement is not an
alliance and therefore. not inconsistent
with the principles Of the league Of
nations. They said it is a temporary
means of assuring French security I'm
til the league is fully established and
able to make France secure.
1t is expected the provision that the
United States will immediately" come
to the assistance of France in case of
unprovoked aggression will involve con
sideration by the United States Con-
gress of a plan for sufficient army to
permit "immcdiate' action without
awaiting the creation of an army and
the forwarding of large forces as an
expedition to France after such ag-
gression occurs.
