ARE MADE PUBLIC

Agree to Nonaggression
Policy.

London.-Results of the Locarno Sc
curity conference were displayed for
all the world to see when seven
treaties, which comprise Europe's new
est and most promising preventive of
war, were made public in the various
capitals.
The first and foremost of the agree
ments is the security pact, mutual
treaty guaranteeing the inviolability Of
the frontiers between Germany and
Belgium and Germany and France. as
liked by the treaty of Versailles.
1t will be signed at London Deem
Der l, and, assuming that all the
signatory governments ratify the pact,
will become effective when Germany
joins the League of Nations.
BY the treaty, Germany, on her side,
undertakes never to trespass upon the
soil of France or Belgium, or make
any warlike gestures in the demili-
tarized Rhineland area.
On their side, France and Belgium
promise not to violate Germany's west
ern frontier.
Should either party violate the
agreements set forth, the, pact pro-
vldes that Great Britain and Italy
snail go to the aid of the aggrieved
party. whether it be Germany, France
or Belgium.
The powers parties to the pact
agree to submit all their future dis
putes to the council of the league, act
Ing as q court.
VI the other six treaties that have
come out of the Locarno negotiations,
Germany is signatory to four identical
agreements, one each with France,
Belgium. Poland and Czechoslovakia.
Germany agrees with each of her
four neighbors to set up peaceful ma
chlnery to settle any disputes with
them that do not yield to ordinary
diplomatic treatment.
These neighbors of Germany agree
TO submit any disputes they may have
with Germany to an arbitral tribunal
organized under The Hague conven-
tlons or 1907, or to the Permanent
Court Of International Justice.
The other two treaties are between

vakia. and her failure is accompanied
by an unprovoked recourse to arms,

Of the other six treaties will have the
effect of Outlawing war. In point of
fact. it is made clear that there are
circumstances in which war is legiti-
mate.
The treaties simply strive to define
these circumstances. limit their num-
Der and do as much as is conceivably
possible to prevent warlike conditions
