Kellogg MultildteraI
 Treaty WiH Bur Wm
 Among AU Ats Signers
By kIRkE L. SIMPSON GA. p. Staff Writer)

WASHINGTON. Aug. Tone fact stands up significantly out Of tho prolonged correspondence which induced IA nations to ac- cept the Kellogg plan for mutual treaty reunication Of war as a1 agency of national policy. That is that almost certainly each of those countries would have been ready. almost out of hand, to sign such a sweeping peace undertak- ing with the United States alone.
 None of the exchanges involved adjustments or explanation bear ing on points of direct concern to the United States or it's relations with any of the group. All of the negotiations were necessary be- cause of the fact that the American amendment of the original French plan would set up the war re- nunciation declaration not only with the United States, but as among all of the other signatoriea between themselves.
 What It Means
 That is what multilateral means many sided. The original French bilateral proposal meant only a mutual agreement between France and the United States to renonace war. That declaration already is an accomplished fact so far ; they are concerned. It is en-
 bodied specifically in the preamble of the new arbitration treaty. now in effect. In addition, France and the United States are boun ty the Bryan conciliation treaty which forbids war for any cause until conciliation commission shall have had at least F months to seek an adjustment.
 Similarly, the United States has arbitration and conciliation treaty relations of the same character with many of the IA powers which will be associated with the Wash ington government in launching the new multilateral declara lon against war. That any gaps which
 may exist in those bilateral peacs agreements with other natio I could be. and no doubt will D.. filled in is unquestionable. It is striking evidence of the world e general acceptance of the pacir.
 and friendly purposes of the Amer icaa republic that it has rarely encountered any obstacle in set. , ling up treaty agreements design ed to make war between it and any other power Highly impron. able.
 Condition Recognized
 The Paris government recog- nized this condition when it pro- posed the bilateral general peace declaration to Secretary Kellogg It meant no substantial change in
 Franco American peace relations that had existed for years and athwart the course of which no war laden cloud of misunderstood ling ever had drifted. Yet it means ]! for the United States, if the French
 plan had been accepted, establish ment of special treaty relationships with France that might we'll have been embarrassing and possible source of misunderstanding and fCoptinued on Page Threej
