By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, July 10.-The United
States government has offi0ally in
formed the league of nations that it
cannot adhere to the draft of the
treaty Of mutual assistance which
the fourth assembly of the league
voted should be circulated among all
the governments with the request for
express of their views
Holding that the fundamental prin-
cipie of the treaty is to provide guar
establish the competency of the coun-
Gil of the league with respect to any
decisions contemplated, the United
States government says that in view
Of the United States Constitution and
Of the fact that America is not mem
Der of the league, the United States
would find it impossible to give its
adherence to the treaty.
The communication from Washing
ton adds that the United States gov
ernment has not failed to note that
under article II of the treaty any
state may give its partial adherence
provided it is prepared to reduce its
armaments in conformity with the
treaty, but it thinks that it would not
serve any useful purpose to consider
the question of conditional or partial
adherence when the conditions i'm
posed would of necessity be of such
a character as to deprive adherence
of npy s,, pf{a1 efPecf
The communication emphasizes the
desire of the United States that ap-
propriate agreements be reached to
limit ornaments and thus to reduce
heavy burdens on the nation. 1t is
pointed out that this desire was mani
tested when the American govern
ment eenveked the great military and
naval powers to tho Washington con-
ference,
While this conference resulted in
the conclusion Of IN important naval
treaty limiting capital ships, 1t wns
found impeasibie to obtain an agree
ment limiting tina tonnage OF aIxii-
iary naval craft or to make any prog
ress in the direction Of limitation of
land forces
THE government of the United
States" the Washington message con-
cludes, having reduced it's armament
continues to cherish the hope that the
desired result in the case Of the other
powers may be achieved, and notes
with keen and sympathetic interest
every endeavor to that end"
The American communication, while
negative, has stimulated interest in ar
endeavor to find some suitable agree.
ment for a reduction in armaments
Interest in such an effort already hac
been increased by the presentation o1
the so-caIled draft treaty of disarma
ment and security, drawn up by Ameri
cans, which is now officially before tht

the league said today that they consid
