flee late tonight.
The agreement with the United
States cites articles of the peace
treaty prohibiting Germany from
fortifying either the right or left
bank of the Rhine or assembling
forces within thirty miles east of the
Rhine and provides, in case these pro-
visions do not assure France proper
security and protection, the United
States is bound to come to the aid
of France if any unprovoked act of ag-
gression is made against her by Ger
many.
1t is provided that the treaty shall
be submitted to the Council of the
League of Nations which will decide
whether to recognize it as an engage
ment in conformity with the League
covenant, and also provides that the
treaty shall be submitted to the United
States senate and French parliament
for approval.

of America and the government of
French republic and equally Animate
ed by desire to maintain peace of the
world SO happily restored by the
treaty signed at Versailles on June
2S which put an end to the war be-
gun by the aggression of the German
empire and terminated by the defeat
of that power and,
Considering that the United States
of. America and the government of the
f1-s. republic fully convinced that
an uns-cvU7sl
Germany against France would not
only violate at the same time the let
ter and spirit of the Versailles treaty
to which the United States and France
are parties, thus exposing France
anew to the intolerable burden of un-
provoked war, but that such an ag-
gression on the part of Germany
would constitute an act reputed by the
treaty of Versailles as being against
all the powers signatory to the treaty
and calculated to trouble the peace
of the world, involving inevitably and
directly the states of Europe and in
directly the entire world, as expert
ence has amply and unhappily demons
and
Considering that the United States
of America and the government OF
the French republic apprehend that
the stipulations concerning the left
bank of the Rhine cannot assure inn
to France, on one hand,

Versailles, appropriate securities and
protection.

tary of state, specially authorized to
