 PARIS, Oct. Ii. - The United States told the peace conference today it was ready to join in any United Nations defense of Greece If Greece's security is endangered by the acts of an aggreSsor nation" :"
 The U. s. Ambassador to France, Jefferson Caffery, speaking on the peace treaty with Bulgaria, said the United States had consented to leave Bulgaria her present frontier with Greece only because Ameri- cans relied upon United Nations safeguards to protect Greece from any attack.
 U. S. Will Act
 "The United States delegation can give full assurance that the United States can be counted upon to act' in accordance with such measures, Caffery told the dele gates.
 Greek Premier Constantin Tsal- daris, said bitterly in an earlier address that the terms of the treaty draft with Bulgaria would permit that nation to emerge from her second war against the Allied Nations larger and stronger than ever before.
 Polish Delegate Stephan Wier- blowski demanded that the peace conference give Bulgaria an outlet ' to the Aegean, claim promptly countered by Greek requests for a strip of Bulgaria.
 Slavs Renew Demand
 The renewed demand by the Slavic group that Bulgaria be giv- en Greece's north Aegean pam handle was presented at the outset of plenary session discussion on the Bulgarian treaty, the third to come before the conference as a whole. The Italian treaty was ap- proved yesterday and the Ruman- ian pact early this morning.
 Fighting against the clock and the calendar in their dash to ad- journ by Oct. Is, the delegates again split along general east-west lines of cleavage in approving the peace treaty drafted for Rumania, just as they did in their final ac- tion on the Italian pact the pre- vious day.
 Projects Tumble Once again, Russian Foreign Minister V. M Molotov, the pre- siding officer, saw Slav group pro- ects tumble in defeat as the 21- nation conference upheld decisions of the parley's working commis- sions in vote after vote. i Molotov attacked with some heat yesterday what he termed dollar democracies" and accused the Unit ed States of having made money out of the war while Europe suf- fered, but shortly after midnight he was forced-as chairman-to announce that western demands | for opening of the Danube to free navigation had been carried, Is to 6, more than two- thirds majority.
 Danube Opened
 The Danupian proposal, which emerged from one of the toughest lights of the entire conference and which U. s. Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg CR-Mich) declared was indispensable to the economic health and peace of central Europe, provides that the river, it's navi- gable tributaries and connecting canals must be opened lon terms of entire equality to the nationals, vessels of commerce and goods of all states"
 It requires that, six months after the Rumanian treaty goes into eff feet, the eight Danuhian states and the big four get together in con- ference to establish the rivers new international regime"
 The conferees approved clauses limiting the Rumanian army to 125, ,O0O men; the navy to 5000 men and 15,O00 tons of shipping and the air force to l50 planes and 5000 men.
