u. S. Govt. to Keep
Out of Proposed
European Security

Washington, June IL (AP) The
American government. through the
state department, took occasion to-
day to reiterate informally that it
would not be a party to the pro-
posed European security nor re-
sponsible for it in any way.
The procurement was made to
throw cold water on published re-
ports that the United States might
be asked to act as custodian of the
commitments contained in the pact.
1t was said no such proposal had
been made here and none was ex-
pected in view of the well known
attitude of Washington.
No explanation accompanied the
statement of the attitude of the
Washington government. 1t is OBJ
vious, however, that the mere duty
of custodianship of these pledges
might conceivably tend to draw the
United States into some future poll
tical complication in Europe and that
a proposal of this kind would be I'm
welcome in view of the administra-
ton policy of avoiding any such en-
tanglements.
