MANILA 1.-TWO more articles
OF proposed Southeast Asia sec..
rity treaty were approved in secret
negotiations here today, and a re.
liable source said foreign ministers
of eight nations may have a pact
ready for signing by Wednesday.
One more article was provision
ally approved today, the source
said.
The biggest controversy still to
be ironed out involves military
commitments to be made by the
United States, Britain, France.
Australia, New Zealand, Thailand.
Pakistan and the Philippines.
Thailand and the Philippines
were reported holding out for an
NATO-type agreement under which
all members would come instantly
to the defense of any member at
tackled.
The United States is arguing fos
pact under which each member
would react to an attack on an
other within its own constitutional
framework.
Delegates today adopted an ar
ticle stating that nations "by
means of continuous and effective
self-help and mutual aid will main.
tain and develop their individual
and collective capacity to resist
armed attack and to prevent and
overcome subversive activity d.
rected from without against their
territorial integrity and political
stability"
The informed source said ap-
proval came after Thailand aban-
doned demands to include subver-
sive activity within a nation as
well as outsie its borders.
The delegates also repeatedly
agreed to accept general terms in
which the economic clause of the
proposed draft treaty was written.
1t provides for cooperation with
each other in development Of Geo.
nomic measures designed to pro-
mote economic stability and social
well-being."
