LONDON, June 1O.-Premier
Stanley Baldwin today rose to the

the proposed security pact.
In an address in the House of
Commons he underworld to iron out

The Premier contended that the

tiers was not one-sided.
Pact Not Yet Signed.
He said that certain misapprehen-
sions had arisen, but that the "sct-
Element as contemplated is strictly
bilateral and not on s-sided.
1t is the view of the French and
British that the fullest security
must be given the signatory DOW
ers, but a guilty power cannot in
woke the pact to protect It in a
breach of treaty oblfgations."
Baldwin said France would lay
the proposals before Germany with
IN q Kew days.
The Premier also assured the
House of Commons, answering cues
tons as to the accuracy Of the
French version OF the pact, that a
full statement would he made by
Foreign Secretary Austen Chamber
lain on his return from Geneva, and
that no pact would be signed with
out full discussion IN Commons.
-
He expressed regret that Ameri-
caan and British newspapers had
published Britain's reported will
ingness to preserve Rhine border
integrity with British arms.
Never a word was mentioned be-
tween Foreign Secretary Chamber
lain and Minister BRAND concern
ing the British Seet or British
army" he said. This was purely
the newspaper mems deduction"
He said the British obligation was
summed up in the word guaranty
which was enough for France.
1T is false for the press 20 make
British guaranty appear as a
treaty of military alliance" the
Foreign Office spok asserted.
1.-The British act Of guaranteeing
the Rhine frontiers absolutely
should not be compared with the
Franco-Polish and Franco -Czecho-

military aid.

PARIS. June 10.-Alarmed at
the intensity of the opposition to
Franco British accord aroused in
Great Britain, the French foreign
office today attempted to set the
vehicle of peace pact negotiations
back on it's wheels and in smooth
transit.
A foreign office spokesman, in
conference with foreign correspond

actually placed it's army and fleet

some tall scrambling, sometimes.

But mounted, that was some
thing else. The cattle did the
scrambling then.
A woman can drive her own
car into all sorts Or places and
at all hours OF the day or night
without fear Of molestation by
Washers or Mrs. Grundy. The
cattle are becoming accustomed
to her now, even when she's

places on the range that she's
scared to negotiate by herself.

Such an order is especially
