France TO Seek
u. S. Protection

As a condition to the Limitation
OF land armament, France is prepar.
Ing to ask the United States to guar
antee her protection in the event n,
German aggression against French
territory.
In urging that this Governmen,
subscribe to this guarantee. tho
French Government will revive the
terms OF the old tripartite alliance
which was suggested between France
Great Britain and the United States
II France finds that sentiment
among the other world powers gives
her sufficient support, she will ad-
vance her proposal at the coming
world conference in Washington
She will insist that she can NOT re-
duce her armies unless she receives
pledge from America or Britain
that these countries will protect her
against Germany.
France, it, is learned. does not IN.
t that a formal treaty be drawn
up, such as was suggested during
the peace conference, but would be
satisfied II the American administra-
tion adopted a declaration of prin-
ciples which afforded France the
protection that she would have gain
ed under the proposed triple alliance.
A formal request of this nature
may be expected to precipitate quite
some storm politically.
