French Treaty Is Ssas 10 Sssass

Washington. President Wilson
Tuesday transmitted to the senate the
special treaty with France. by which
the United States pledges itself 70
come Immediately to the aid OF that
republic In the event Of unprovoked
attack by Germany, and asked for lie
early ratification "aiong with the
treaty with Germany"
The president did not follow his
usual custom OF presenting the treaty
in person. He sent 1t to the capitol
by special messenger along with .
message explaining its object.
President Wilson's message to the
senate accompanying the Franco.
American treaty. said in part;
Gentlemen Of the senate--I take
pleasure in laying before you treaty
with the republic Of France. the OBJ
ject Of which is to assure that re-
public OF the immediate aid Of the
United States Of America in case Of
any unproyoked movement OF aggres-
sion against her on the part Of Ger
many.
It was signed on the same day with
the treaty of peace and is intended
as a temporary supplement 10 Il II
is believed that the treaty Of peace
with Germany itself provides adequate
protection TO France against aggres-
sion from her recent enemy on the
east; but the years Immediately ahead
of us contain many incalcuIable pos
abilities. The covenant OF the league
Of aations provides for military action
for the protection OF its members only
upon advice OF the council Of the
league-advice given. 1t is to be pre-
sumed. only upon deliberation and
acted upon by each OF the govern
ments OF the member states only II
Its own judgment justifies such ac-
tion. The object Of the special treaty
with France which ! now submit to
you is 10 provide for immediate milf
tary assistance to France BY the
United States in case Of any unprovok-
ed movement OF aggression against her
by Germany.

And then he left us an in tears.

Without that little hand NJ mine,
