going ON in London, the French view
point has been that until Great Britain
gave France explicit guarantee that she
would come To the aid of France in the
event of an attack by Germany there
could be no curtailmenU or French land

The British have declared that the with
drawal of French troops from the Rhine

Especial Despatch to The Reformer.1
Copyright 1927
WASHINGTON. Dec. 24-Word has
reached here through unofficial chan
ncls OF a movement under way in Eu-
| rope to bring about new four-power
| treaty whereby Great Britain, France,
Italy and Germany should agree to
guarantee each other IS territory against
'nproyoked aggression by any other
power.
This plan. which curiously enough
owes its inspiration to French diplo-
macy seeks way 10 remove the bug
bear oi a possible invasion by Germany
which has been held forth as justiIca-
/ tOn for the continued existence of large
standing armies on the continent OF Eu-
.Eope. Broadly speaking the French Lib
erals who are back OF the plan believe
the time has come to. bring Germany
INTO combination win the other pow
ers which will tTanquilize Europe and
/ aid Itsr economic TecupeTat ion.
In one sense. the plan recognizes the
unwisdom Of the enforcement clauses
Of the y Versailles treaty with its recur
ring penalties of occupation of German
territory in the event Of German failure
10 pay indemnities. The idea now Is to
obtain some unanimity of opinion
among the larger powers of Europe SO
that the Teparation burden may be more
equitably adjusted and SO that Germany
herself viii adopU a new spirit toward
her obligations under the Versailles
Eact
Would Please America .
The United States government will.
OF course. not BE party to such
new treaty in Europe as it Is the view
point OF the Harding administration
that guarantees against aggression on
the continent of Europe are strictly
European matters. On the other hand
The american government would lend its
moral support to any movement which
accomplished peace i'm Europe. The sug-
gcstlon Of q four-power pact including
Germany was first discussed informally
when Premier BRAND was i'm Washing
ton. Heretofore alliances have been
made only between friendly powers as
an Offset 70 possible attacks by uu-
friendly nations. The making of Il four
power pact between Great Britain,
France. United States and Japan. how
ever. offers a precedent because it in
@ludcS the very -Japan-which
so many American and Japanese writers
have been regarding as the potential in
teTcst of the United States.
