U.S..STATEMENT

day, it appears that a British
security guarantee would not
necessarily include a promise t9
assist France in a military way
in case Of trouble.
A Mediterranean pact of nom
aggression, plus British reaffirm-
alton of a definite intention of
fulfilling all obligations under the
League of Nations Covenant and
the Locarno Treaty, might be
sufficient to enable France to
scale down her navy demands
and result in a workable five
power disarmament agreement.
Such a step on the part Of the
British would have the effect of
allaying French fears that be-
cause of the Anglo-American rap,
prochment, Britain might hest
tate to fulfil her continental
obligations for fear of engender-
ing complications with the Unite !
States.
American participation in an
eVentful consultative pact would
mean much to Britain and little
to France. 1t remains to be seen
whether France will sufficiently
reduce her naval demands in
exchange for a half-hearted Brit
iSh security promise to insure a
naval agreement.
Even so, the Franco-Italian
parity issue remains, the French
insisting that even with security
guaranteed they will not grant
parity to Italy, while the Italians
are just as firm in insisting upon
naval equality.
The American delegation met
for an hour this morning and
considered the whole political
problem. 1t can be stated authori-
tatively that the delegation feels
that if a consultative pact could
be so framed as to make it
absolutely definite the United
States is obligated to do nothing
except consult, the senate would
not object to American participa-
ton.
So far no nation has asked the
United States officially to enter
a consultative pact, BRAND and
Premier Andre Tardieu both hav-
ing previously assured Secretary
stimson that American participa-
ton in a five-poWer consultative
pact would not satisfy Frances
security demand.

Crotts, who at first was believed

Crotts, it is understood, is not
aware that he has been charged
with any crime or that he is sup
posed to have confessed to Gravely
that SWartzell had attempted the
alleged "Shake-doWn."
Inspector Thadeus Bean, who is
investigating the case, said today
there have been no further de-

order to arrive at an under

measures to be taken-to meet

situation"
Thus it appears that the decis-
ion is up to the British and the
French. where, in fact, it has
been all the time. 1t may prove
Q difficult one for Premier Ram
say Macdonald. for it is we'll
known that his own Cabinet is
divided on the question of guar
anteeing French security. His

Philip SnoWden, served notice at
The Hague some months ago
that Britain was through with

ttnental Europe.
Confusion Here
In any event, the American
position has been re.Stated, al.
though the process of its re-state-
n1ent produced a great deal of
confusion between London and
Washington.
AT the very moment Secretary
OF State StimSon was making his
formal announcement in London
concerning American open-minded-
ness about an inocuouS conSulta-
tive pact. inQuirers in Washington
were being officially informed
that no power had proposed any
consultative pact, and that all
the talk about such a pact was
idle anyway, because 1t wouldn't
please any of the powers at
London.
The opinion was also strongly
expressed here, prophetically or
otherwise, that consultative
pact would not secure the reduc-
tion of single ton in naval ships,
because the powers (meaning
France) that wanted a political
agreement wanted something far
stronger, something with teeth"
in it.. Thus. it was contended, all
talk Of a consultative pact was
largely idle, and, in fact, it had
not been proposed at all at
London.
Evidently. however, Secretary
Stimson had heard something
about such a pact, even though
it had not been proposed, for his
statement came out few hours
later defining the American posi-
ton.
It is an eloquent commentary
on the state of the London par
ley that even the reStatement of
one powers position could cause
such a furry and such a re-
newal Of hope for success.
