self defense. and does not conflict
with the League of Nations covenant
since the covenant imposes no at

to war.
Nor does the treaty conflict with
the Locarno peace pacts, Mr.. kel-
logg pointed out If the parties to
the Locarno treaties are under and
obligations to go to war, he made
clear. such obligation certainly
would not attach until one of the
parties had resorted to war in viola
ton of its solemn pledges under
these treaties. And since all the ma
tons signatory to the Locarno
treaties also attach their signatures
to the new treaty the Locarno
treaties could not be violated with
