Secretary Lansing Embar-
rassed by frances Act,

PARIS, July 4--The text Of the
proposed Anglo French American

terday that only official British sane
ton was lacking to give the text OF
the pact to the world. and that sane
ton was expected today.
French Deliver Text
Meantime the French foreign office
stole march on both Britain and
America, and American oorrespon-
dents were quick to transmit the text
10 the United States.
The French action plainly placed
Secretary Lansing in an embarras-
sing position, since he asserted em-
phatically this morning that he could
not give his consent TO the release
His explanation was that Il would
be discourteous both To President
Wilson and the United States senate
20 publish the text before il had beer
laid before that body by the president
himself.
No Control Over Others.
When it was pointed out TO hin
