Text Of NOn-Aggressive
Pact AS Modified

Genoa, May 7-(By A. P.)-The
text of the aggression pact,
which may never see the light of
day at Genoa, has practically been
agreed upon 1t is British prop
osition modified to meet the SUCCESS
lions of the other powers
Tho draft provides that after sig
nature at Genoa, it must be ratified
by the respective governments before
it becomes operative. The pact de-
clares substantially that if one coun-
try attack another, then the other
signatories shall Immediately confer
for the purpose of deciding upon
steps to put an end to acts of ag-
gression which threaten the peace of
Europe. Tho consultation clause
follows the lines of the four power
pact arranged at Washington.
France already has announced
that she will sign the pact only on
the understanding that guarantees
provided by treaties, including the
Versailles treaty, shall be maintained
and included in the pact. Japan in
sists upon the maintenance Of the
Versailles guarantees because of her
geographical and economic relations
with Siberia.
