IN ANT|-WAR ISSUE
French Mention Geneva Atti.
tude in Note on Pro.
posed Pact.

By the Associated Prese
PARIS, January 23.-The French
government by pointing out its obliga-
tions to the League OF Nations has
brought the United States face to face
with the League issue in the proposed
treaty TO outlaw war.
For the first time in the exchanges
between Foreign Minister BRAND and
Secretary Kellogg the League has been
mentioned by name in the latest French
note. This note was published In all
'aris newspapers today with unanimous
iy favorable comment on the French
position
France definitely advanced her conf
mitments TO the League as q reason for
mooilying the original proposal when
the United States suggested a multi
aatefai instead OF biiateral pact.
Note Leaves Door Open.
Tne French desire TO insert In the
proposed treaty phrase limiting the
wars to be outlaged to wars of acpres-
sion.
The latest note suggests thar the
United States may find II possible TO
accept the terminology adopted by the
majority OF the powers at Geneva. The
note leaves the door open for any other
formula washington may suggest to
france which would enable It to recon-
CHE absolute condemnation OF war with
engagements and obligations contracted
oy various nations with a legitimate
concern ior the security OF each"
The reply TO Kellogg also SAYS that
France Is still prepared TO conclude q
oilateral pact between the two co,,n-
tries renouncing war
Because OF the emphasis laid on az
gression. many observers feel that the
negotiations may be abandoned. The
papers, however. continue optimistic,
aitnough warning Is sounded In the
journal Des Debats against the nego-
uations being too rapidly conducted.

nope so. The French note In any case
permits the conversations TO continue -

leaves the door open for the continu.
