PACT
IS FOUGHT IN
BRITAIN
Reservations" Seen Certain
as Liberals Open Fire
on Proposals
By DAVID M. CHURCH,
international Na,ra Service.

LONDON, June 12.-Indications
multiplied today that Britain is
about to witness an anti-security
pact fight that will bear q strik-
ing similarity to the anti-League
of Nations fight which the United
States witnessed after the Paris
peace conference.
The Baldwin government, which
negotiated the pact, is distinctly
worried.
Liberals Open Battle.
With considerable section of the
press already deploring the treaty
on the ground that it means an end
to Britain's splendid isolation" the
liberals came out into the open
today with undisguised opposition.
The daily Chronicle, organ Of ex-
premier Lloyd George, today at
tacks the pact on the ground that
England may be drawn into the
petty quarrels Of central Europe,
in which she has no direct concern.
Suppose. said the Chronicle in
a leading editorial. Poland attacks
Germany and France goes to Pc,
lands aid and is beaten. Or suppose
Hungary attacks Czecho- slovakia
and France unsuccessfully inter
venes In either case we would be
compelled to go to Frances assist
ance.
Reservations Certain.
mr.. Chamberlain has made q
very dubious bargain"
The foreign minister will face the
House. Of Commons on the agree
ment next week, and already. the
opposition he will encounter there
is believed sufficiently strong to
cause some radical changes in the
pact.
It Is virtually certain that a num-
Ter OF reservations will be pro-
posed. similar in intent and scope
to the numerous reservations which
the United States. Senate injected
into the league fight. AS in the
case Of the Senate and the league,
the reservations to the security pact
will be designed to preserve Bri-
tain's liberty Of action"
U. 8. Not Involved.
At the foreign office today 1t was
stated that the United States has
not been approached with regard
to becoming a party to the pact,
Frances present boun-
daries from all possible aggressions.
1t was never contemplated, 1t was
said, that the United States would
in the agreement, be-
cause the Senate four years ago
twice rejected a similar instru-
ment of guaranty for France which
President Wilson negotiated at
Paris.
Foreign office officials expressed
surprise over statements from
Washington that Gne United States
would not be a party, for they
never considered that possibility.
Italian Position In Doubt.
Italy, it was admitted today, has
not rejected the pact, but neither
has she signified her intention Of
to It.
The Washington times., 1925-06-12
