PARIS GIVEN DRAFT
Of ANT|-WAR PACT
Two U. S. Proposals Sent to
France - Follow Pro-
pccccI of BRAND.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
The French government EHs before
II two American proposals offered as
a means of continuing peace between
the two countries. They are out
growths OF the suggestion or severa
months ago by Foreign Minister BIT
and that a treaty be drawn up TO out
law war.
The proposnls, given to the French
in alternate form but which might
produce one or two separate treat'eS'
would supplant the present itoot aro'
tration pact, &hich expires late neN'
month. II they are found to hoid
the kew to continued peaceful rela :
tons, the proposals In all propapl'''y
will serve az models for rewriting o'
his couY,try's arbitration pacts WIN
other nations as the Root agreements
expire.
Senate Approval.
The project goes to France wlth
the assumption here that II bears the
weight Of much favorable senate
oninion. Secretary Kellogg discussed
The step with all members of the Sen
ate foreign relations committee and
II was understood that their lndoi Sc
ment was given.
ANY treaty that springs from the
Franco American negotiations must
of necessity omit any fiat commit
ment not to resort To- war. because
the Constitution reserves TO Congress
the mower to declare war. 1t Is pro-
rosed. however. that the preamble OF
the projected treaty would include "A
declaration of policy against war
nd that the document would submit
disputes to arbitration at The Hague.
and possibly suggest Cancellation as a
preliminary step.
Parallels Present Pact.
The treaty thus in effect would par
ailel the existing Bryan Cancellation
treaty with France. which Is based
on the we'll established theory that a
joint fact finding commission often
can settle disputes without resort TO
arbitration.
In the event that the treaty Is ac-
cepted. France and America would
agree to arbitration of all disputes
except those involving purely internal
and domestic questions. those involv-
ing third power and any question
arising from maintenance by tho
United States of the Monroe doctrine.
