THEIR VIEWS DESIRED
ON MULTILATERAL PACT

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
France and the United States agreed
yesterday to submit Immediately their
diplomatic correspondence on the pro-
posal for a multilateral treaty renounc-
ing war to Great Britain, Germany,
Italy and Japan.
The agreement followed call Of the
French Ambassador, Paul Claudel, upon
Secretary kellogg to inform him that
NJ. BRAND, French foreign minister, had
expressed a willingness that the cor
respondence should be submitted i'm
mediately to the four nations for their
consideration and comment.
Have Exchanged Views.
Conversations between Ambassador
Claudel and Secretary Kellogg have
been going on since receipt of the last
French note on March 80. In the course
Of these discussions 1t was made plain
to M Claudel that the United States
has not conceded that the considera-
tions advanced by France in that note
necessitated any modification Of the
plain formula TO renounce war.
Mr.. Kellogg expressed the belief that
the time had come for submitting the
question with the entire correspondence
to the four other powers. This brought
the reply from BRAND yesterday that he
was willing TO proceed as Mr.. kellogg
suggested.
The correspondence viii be submitted
early this week. but the exact method
Of placing 1t before the four govern
ments has not been definitely deter
mined.
Nations Have All Data.
1t may be done In conversations with
the ambassadors OF those nations here
in Washington or by joint note Of the
French Ambassador and the Secretary
OF State. The four nations already
have been supplied unofi1cially with
copies of all the correspondence and
are therefore wholly acquainted with
the proposal
Foreign Minister Brands last note,
In which he tentatively accepted Secre-
tary Kellogg's proposal for submission
OF the note TO the other powers, con-
tanned various suggestions. Mr.. kellogg
has been endeavoring to determine
whether they were In effect reserva-
tons. 1t was not clear to American
ot1cials whether NJ. BRAND intended
they should be considered as reserva-
tons by France, making them condi-
tional to the proposed treaty.

i Wants to Know if He Can't Have Mail
 1 Uncle Sam, We are asking for just ! ice. It is our duty to explain why things aren't right, and Uncle SaLl knows we are talking the truth; he will act and say: Those boys are going to have just what belongs to them"
 We are your tenants and have no one else to talk to. We are not kicking on the rent we are paying, and the license we have to pay is wonderfully cheap. We are thir- teen ranchers on fox islands, who have been fighting for seven years to make go. We are all on our 1 feet producing $15,0OO. year. The desert that grew nothing before looks like a park. There is life all over. Every one has nice garden, blue foxes, silver foxes, mink, mar ten, goats and COWS. Good many families with children, but I will say that it is rather hard for fami- lies TOW since they took the mail route away from us.
 We had the Monte Carlo mail run once a month for year. We had la chance to send mail and receive mail once month. It took us two months to answer a letter, but the mail boat always came, and we de- pended on it. As it is now today. if boat breaks down or a boat is lost, or a man should be sick, who could run the boat? Then they are condemned to die.
 Hoping some of the government employees will read this letter, he will say that these boys are asking for justice and are going to have it. One letter to us is worth more than a hundred pounds of catalogs and advertisements.
 Ketchikan and Juneau are asked to print this piece.
