request OF the Brussels treaty

bourg) for American military
dtd and the reply Of the United
States:
April S, 1919.
l. Since the signature of the
Brussels treaty the five governments
have had under consideration a
common defense programme. Con-
WINGED of the necessity for such a
programme, they believe that its
formulation and application must
be based on entire solidarity between
them. They have reached the con-
clusion that If this defence pro-
gramme is to be effective, the
material assistance of the United
States Government is essential.
The principles on which the pro-
gramme should be based are set
out in the following paragraphs.
2. The main principles would be
self-help, mutual aid, and common
action in defence against an armed
attack. The immediate objective
is the achievement of arrangements
for collective self defence between
the Brussels treaty powers within
the terms of the charter of the
United Nations. The programme
would be considered as a further
step in the development of Western
European security in the spirit of
the statement made by President
Truman to Congress on March II,
1913, the day of the signature of
the Brussels treaty. 1t would be in
accordance with the general OBJ
jective of article 3 of the North
Atlantic pact, and would result in
each party. consistent with its
situation and resources, contributing
In the most effective form such
mutual aid as could reasonably be
expected of it. 1t would also be
in accordance with the principles
expressed in the resolution of the
Senate of the United States of
June II, 1913.
Coordination Emphasized.

participating powers should be de-
velcped without endangering eco

While the assistance TO the North

stftute the larger part of our as

include assistance to areas TO which

cannot at this time give a fig
ure, a range of figures, or an in

the program will be, for either the
North Atlantic pact countries or for
other areas. This matter is now
being considered Jointly with the
Bureau of the Budget and will be
submitted to the President. When
the President has made his review

the figure known to the Congress
