as now being willing to negotiate con-
sultative pact in the event that Great
Britain goes the entire way and offers
France a guarantee treaty which is &C
ceptable to Paris. However remote this
contingency may be, it is held by some
observers here as step toward which
a five-power treaty at London might be
made to appear to hang on fulnllment
of Mr.. Stimson's announcement OF last
Wednesday.
While it is evident that Mr.. Stimson
has not repudiated the consultative pact
statement, except that it would not be
modelled after the 1922 Pacific treaty,
there was much discussion in Washing
ton as to what character Of pact the
American delegation might feel could be
negotiated within the boundaries Of
traditional American policy.
An agreement whereby the United
States could consult and demand release
from naval limitation agreements in the
event one Of the Signatory nations de-
faulted on the terms of q five-power
treaty and could not be brought back
into line, was seen by some as a posi-
bility, but this, it was again observed,
would be the kind of Consultative pact
the other powers would least desire, and
it would not contribute in the least to
tonnage limitation concessions by France
or Italy, necessary to lead the London
Conference to successful conclusion on a
fve-power basis.

The discussion between foreign Secre-
tary Henderson, Rene Massiglt OF the
French delegation, and himself today,
he said, had been confined to the po-
litical aspect of the situation.
81 have not been looking at the queS-
ton only from the French point OF
view What all the nations want is
security and envisage pact of secur-
ity in which all the nations can join
AS for the man in the street, he is not
really interested in numbers and ton
nages of cruisers, destroyers and sub
marines What he is interested in is
the guarantee that there be no more
war.
That's the end I have in view. I
may not attain my object, but am a
Breton, which means that am stub
born. I shall know when must give
up hope, but that point has certainly
not been reached yet"
Unable to Give Details.
He regretted he was unable to give
details about the progress Of the Anglo
French conversations. AL that he
could say was that M Massigli and Sir
Robert Vansittart and Mr.. Walkin were
giving up their Sundays rest to con-
tinue the examination of questions at
issue, and that he himself would in all
probability be in action again Monday.
Indeed, he limited that Monday might
prove to be a day Of very important de-
velopments in one way or another, and
he said that he might then be in q
position to give more definite informa-
ton.
The French foreign minister looked
worn and weary from the strain of
months Of negotiating, and was unlike
his usual buoyant self. His last words,
however, were that he continued to
hope for q successful issue to the con-
ference and saw no reason why his
hopes should not be realized.

quarters and rumors of deadlock in the Anglo

M. BRAND, putting at a cigarette, admitted,
however that the position of the negotiations Of
fered many pitfalls
Britain, he said, had special problems Of her
own whose nature must be recognized. AS for the
United States he felt that her position must be
understood to be- on a totally different plane from
that of the European nations.

United States commit herself to anything that
would pass reasonable bounds, considering her
suecal position"
