FRANCE WINS
POINT In WAR
OUTLAW TREATY.
By MAURITZ HALLGREN
United Press Staff Correspondent)

WASHINGTON, June 35.-Franee
has won an important point in the
negotiations for renunciation of war
treaty it became apparent today
with publication of the Identical
note sent last week TO II countries,
in which the United States asked
that the American draft be accept
ed as final and that the treaty be
signed at once.
Although the body of the draft
incorporation in these notes is sim
liar to that submitted to the great
powers on April l3, the preamble
has been materially altered, pre-
upon French insistsnce, so
as to permit signatory states to re-
gain their liberty of action toward
any state violating the treaty.
AS revised the preamble in part
states "that any signatory power
which shall hereafter seek to pro-
mote its national interests by resort
to war should be denied the bene-
fits furnished by this treaty
The change was made, with both
France and Great Britain demand
ing it despite Secretary of State
Kellogg S contentious that "any
express recognition Of this principle
Of law is wholly unnecessary.
Observers here disagreed as to
whether the alteration weakens the
treaty or endangers it's ratification
hy the Senate, but all were agreed
that it brings up the question Of
defining aggression. Both Prcsi-
dent Coolidge and Kellogg have
stated that aggression cannot
be defined clearly The secretary
declared today however that this
dispute is not involved in the pre-.

NOMINATION OF

TO Be CERTAIN
Plenty of Trouble Seen
By Leaders Before Con-

(Unlted Press SCa1t COrreSpoHueIiJ)
HOUSTON, Texas, June 25.-The
conviction that Governor Alfred f
Smith of New York will be nominal
ed by the Democratic convention
before the end of the week spread
through many delegations today as
opening of the assembly Tuesday
approached.
A considerable row-much of it
apparently for Fhome consump-
tion" purposes-seemed destined to
precede that event, however.
The dry issue is the pivotal point
for the fight.
There is likely to be much con
troversy over the sort of dry - or
CLAW enforcement'' plank to be in
sorted in the platform, but after the
drvs-largely southern leaders
have gone on record as fighting for
dry plank suitable to their con
stituents the convention will pro
ceed to nominate Smith and ADOPT
! a strong law enforcement program,
according to today s best intorma-
! ton.
The influx of delegates. reached
It's peak today. Many delegations
arrived over the week end but the
big New York delegation and many
other groups, from the east, mid
west, south and west also poured
! into this sweltering city which now
bears both the air of battle and OF
! carnival.
The strategy of the anti-Smith
! forces seemed to be directed largely
at putting prohibition plank into
the PLATFORM that Smith could not
accept rather than at any effort tC
clystalize anti-Smith opinion into 6
movement favoring any particular
candidate. The late night hours
found two significant Developments
