FRENCH HAIL PACT.
Press Unanimous in Praising Decision
to Sign as Soon as Possible.

By Cable 70 The Star and CHICAGO Daily
News. Copyright, 1928.
PARIS, July 1.-THE French press
is unanimous in haiiing Foreign Min
lister Brands reply to Secretary KEEL
logg and the Paris governments decision
to sign at the first opportunity the null
tilateral treaty outlawing war
The former polenlics against the
American State Department position
have been forgotten and the newspapers
emphasize that the good understanding
between France and the United States
will be reinforced by the big success Of
both diplomats.
French opinion admits that Secretary
Kellogg has come the nearest possible
toward the French objections and that
more concessions to European suscepti-
bilities might have aroused the Ameri-
can Senate's opposition. NJ. BRAND. IN
his letter to Ambassador Herrick. stands
firmly on the grounds of French inter-
probation of the Kellogg pact-intrepre-
tati0n which Is backed without reser-
vations by Sir Cecil Hurst. Herr Gauss
and M. Fromageot. legal advisers to the
British, German and French foreign
Offices, respectively.
French opinion considers that the new
treaty will bring together in the war
against war the prestige of the United
States, with the League Of Nations
moral authority in close cooperation,
but without entanglements, which are
not acceptable to American public
opinion. There is no doubt in French
minds that signature of the kellogg
treaty by the leading European powers
win increase the feeling Of security and
peace in Europe and give a new start
to the efforts toward disarmament.

Mind knows no sex and in business
women must compete with men on

as good as those of men and 1t will
