CITES U. S. DEBT TO ALLY
Franco-Annerican Treaty Is Almost
Identical With One Signed Be-
tween Great Britain and France
Purpose of Pact.

Washington, July 3l.-president
Wilson transmitted TO the senate the
special treaty with France by which
he United States pledges itself to
come Immediately to the aid of that
republic in the event Of an unprovoked
attack by Germany, and asked for its
early ratification 'along with the
treaty with Germany"
SublliSsion of the treaty came after
sharp criticism by senate Republicans,
who for several days had openly
charged on the senate floor that In
failing to pqRsent the draft of the pact
along with the treaty of Versailles, the
president had violated one of the ar
ticleS of the document. The president
did not follow the usual custom of
presenting the treaty in person.
The Franco-American treaty is al
most identical with one signed between
Great Britain and France. one diff
ference between the texts, as made
public by the French foreign office, TO
which attention has been called, Is
that the United States pledges itself
to go Immediately" to the assistance
of France. while Great Britain con
sents" 20 assist that country.
The president told the senate the
purpose of the treaty was to provide
assistance for France in case of un-
provoked aggression by Germany with
out waiting for the advice OF the coun-
ell Of the League of Nations that such
action should be takeu, and explained
that it was to be an arrangement, mot
independent Of the League of Nations,
but under It."
"The covenant of the League Of Na-
tions." the president said provides
for military action for the protection
of it's members only upon The advice
of the council of the league--advice
given, II is to be presumed. only upon
dellberation and acted upon by each
of the governments Of the member
states only if its own judgment justi-
fes such action"
Pointing out that the treaty shall
~eceive the approval If the council of
the league" the president said II
would remain In force only until,
upon the application of one of the par
ties to it. the council of the league,
acting, If necessary, by majority
vote, shall agree that the provisions
Of the covenant OF the league afford
her Q9rance) sufficient protection"
Mr.. Wilson aiid he was moved to
sign the treaty By the ties of friend
ship binding the swo countries and the
assistance France gave America in It's
struggle for Independence. Without
this assistance, the president said, It
was seriously 90 be Noubted whether
America could have won Independence,
