DANGER

Senate Committee Favors Rat
i6cation of Treaty
With France


WASHINGTON. Aug. c5.-whils Ger
many has been vanlIislcd far the pres
ent. nothing hut force is likely 10 re-
strain her frnm seeking world domina-
opinion Of no senate judiciary sub
committee appointed to report on the
validity OF tho proposed treat by which
the United States would 90 to the aid
OF France in the event Of an unprovokcd
attack by Germany.
In holding that ratification Of the
special defensive treaty is within the
constitutional power OF the treaty max
tho subcommittee in it's report submit
ted today 10 the full committee said It
was for the interest Of the United
States that France should be allowed to
recuperate and recover her old time
vgor.
"Shc will then be great shield and
protection 10 us against tho German
menace in tho future" said the report.
The report was written by Senator
" II,
laboration with Senators Nelson and
Kellogg. both Of Minnesota and Fall OF
New Mexico. Republicans. and Senator
Overman Of North Carolina. Democrat
constituting the sub committee.
1T will be seen the report said that
tho covenant only aims at protection
against Germany and that il is OF
temporary character TO be merged in
and substituted by the authority OF the
league Of nations when that is cstab-
lisrcd and put in:o operation. AS the
armisticc covers the ground between
tn" end Of the war and the ratification
Of the treaty Of peace. so the treaty in
question aims o cover the ground from
the time OF the adoption Of the treaty
under the league of nations provided
for in tho treaty. can take its place.
In other words. the treaty in question
is Of temporary character TO be merg-
cd in the final treaty OF peace.
Such treaty is clearly warranted
by international law and usage and is
therefore within the scope OF the treaty
making power of the United States"
