Russiu Declares
Partial Tert OF SoDiet Memoran.

MoCNOW, ApTu LINE cOVlet
Onion is virtually certain to con-
slider her treaties with Britain and
France dead on the signing of
the Atlantic Alliance, informed
sources said today.
The Russians denounced the
pact today. calling it an offen1ve
instrument aimed at striking fear
into nations which refused to ac-
cept world domination by the
British and Americans. The So
Wet memorandum to the seven
original sponsors of the Atlantic
pact said the treaty undermines
the very foundation" of the
United Nations and violates inter-
national agreements.
CThe British Foreign Office
rejected any suggestion by
Russia that the Atlantic treaty
violates either the U. N. Charter
or the British Russian friend
ship treaty.
When the Soviet Foreign Minis
try originally denounced the At
lantic Alliance early this year,
diplomats took the view that the
2o-year treaties signed by France
and Britain with Russia during
the war were In jeopardy.
Clauses in Pacts Cited.
The Russians now have raised
Just this point: That clauses In
both treaties stipulate that neither
party shall join alliances directed
against the other.
Russia says specifically that the
Atlantic Alliance is directed
against the Soviet Union. If this
10 considered by Russia to be the
ease. she would deem it as a viola
tion Of the clauses in the two 20
year treaties.
The British-So treaty exc
euted in London May rs, 1912,
says in Article Z: Each of the
high contracting parties under
takes not to conclude any alliance
and not take part in any coalition
directed against the other high
contracting party"
The French-Soviet treaty, exc
euted at Moscow December 10,
1914, said in Article S: The high
contracting parties undertake not
to conclude any alliance and not
to take part in any coalition di-
rected against either of the high
contracting parties"
May Not Denounce Pacts.
At the time of the first Soviet
declaration against the Atlantic
Alliance, both the French and
British Embassies here messaged
their capitals that the treaties
might be regarded as invalid.
The Russians may not de-
nounce the treaties with France
and Britain. One Interpretation
OF the treaties contends this can
not be done until after 20 years.
Thus, the Russians may just say
the treaties do not exist any more.
In this case, no formal denunci-
alton is necessary. and for all
practical purposes. the two treaties
would be dead.
A British oil painting of the
signing of the Anglo-Soviet treaty
hangs in the large reception room
Of Speridonovka Palace. That
picture, which Britain gave to
the Soviet Union, may come down
shortly.
Soviet Union Held Target.
The Soviet note to the orig
inators Of the Atlantic pact said
1t is directed against the Soviet
Union" is openly aggressive" IN
character.
It has nothing in common
either with the tasks of self
defense of the parties to the treaty
or with the real recognition of the
aims and principles of the United
Nations organization" the memo
randum charged.

NEW YORK. April IA ten
SION -fraught taxicab strike started
early today. AS the morning rush
hour began 10l cabs were reported

protection of $3.50 extra police.
A Police Department survey

American Officials
Consider Whether
To Answer Note
CONGRESS LEADERS AGREE
Atom Secrecy Bolsters Peace.

By 6ornett D. Horner

/ American officials, regarding a
Russian protest against the North
Atlantic treaty as a propaganda
move. were uncertain today
whether to ignore it or attempt
to answer the Soviet charges. In
any event rejection of the protest
is certain.
A State Department spokesman
said the Soviet note denouncing
the security pact as aggressive was
nothing more than a repetition in
formal note form of a Moscow
white paper published last jan
uary and would not necessarily re-
quire an answer.
The Russian protest had no
effect on plans for the United
States and II other nations to sign
the defense treaty here Monday.
No Decision on Reply.
The question of whether to ig-
more the note or attempt to make
an effective answer may be con-
sidered by Secretary of State
Acheson in conferences with For
eign Ministers of the other par
ticipating nations this afternoon
and tomorrow.
A spokesman said it had not
been decided yet if or when a
reply will be made. and if so, In
what fashion.
Department officials considered
the Russian protest as only a
propaganda move aiming at caus-
ing as much confusion as possible
and misleading public opinion as
to the nature of the North At
lantic Pact. The defensive char
acter of the treaty is perfectly
clear from its published text. the
State Department spokesman said.
He added that any nation doubt.
ing its defensive purposes has
very simple way of preventing the
treaty ever being applied-that is,
by simply not attacking anybody.
He explained that the treaty pro-
vides for joint military action by
the nations joining the alliance
only in case one of them is at
tackled.
Allegations Repeated.
The spokesman said that since
the note. delivered to the seven
original sponsors Of the North At
lantic pact late yesterday. merely
repeated allegations in a white
paper published in Moscow last
January, it was clear that the So
Wet government opinion of the
treaty was formed in advance of
its publication or even agreement
on the text.
The Soviet charges that the treaty
is aggressive and undermines the
United Nations represent, there
fore. a preconceived opinion which
has little to do with the text of
the treaty itself. he said.
Officials pointed out that the
Soviet note was merely an express
sion of opinion. not indicating one
way or the other whether any
counteraction was contemplated
by the Russians.
Note Delivered Yesterday.
The Soviet protest was delivered
to the State Department by a
Russian Embassy messenger late
yesterday and only translated into
English this morning. The spokes-
man pointed out there had not yet
been time for full consideration
about what to do about it.
He attempted no detailed an
swer of the Russian charges that
the treaty is aggressive and di-
rected at the Soviet Union. He
asserted that it is not directed at
anybody and referred reporters to
a radio address made by Secretary
