ANT|-WAR TREATY
WITH TEETH URGED
French Submit New Draft to
u. S. When Latter'S Pro.
posaI Is Received.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

By Cable 10 The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1877.
PARIS, December 30-France con.
siders the war outlawry pact draft
submitted by the United States three
weeks ago not strong enough. and
has Just presented the American Gov.
ernment with a new French draft,
which is considerably more inclusive.
Neither text has been revealed, but
ii is known that the American draft,
while it mentioned the outlawry of
war in the preamble, devoted its prin-
cipal clauses to arbitration arrange
ments, excluding questions OF national
honor and vital interests; that is to
say, applying arbitration only to minor
differences, and this at the discretion
Of either party.
Freedom of Seas Involved.
The writer is informed that Foreign
Minister BRAND, when he saw TINS
American Interpretation of his pro-
posal for outlawing war. exclaimed:
What have they done to my child?"
1t is believed here that American
really to outlaw war and
make an obligatory arbitration treaty
is based on considerations OF freedom
of the seas. II is thought the United
States fears that in case Of a Eu-
ropean war involving France or other
powers which might later make pacts
on the French model. these European
powers, feeling immune from pos
sible war with the United States.
might take blockade measures against
neutral American shipping contrary
to the American conception OF inter.
law.
Naval Pariey Similar.
It is believed here that the present
naval disagreement is
due to the same underlying cause on
both sides.
The writer is informed that the
British government. after meditating
a proposal to the United States to ad-
vance by two years-that is to say, 10
l92s-the new avail conference which
the Washington agreement provides
must be held by 1881. have decided
for the present 10 make no further
moves whatever. lest. in case the new
should fail. the present
situation might merely be aggravated.
