Oppose Treaty Revision to Protect Status of European PARIS, May 25.—The Daladier Satellites government, in the face of growing opposition, is still, according to reports, determined to sign the Four Power Pact. But before signing, it will take by presenting two reservations.

AGGRESSOR STATE GENEVA , May 25.—The Security Commission of the Disarmament Conference has adopted for discussion today a formula for defining an “ag- gressor” which is based on the sug- gestions presentéd recently by Lit- vinov, Soviet Foreign Commissar, and which goes very much further than the definition proposed by Norman Davis two days ago. ‘The Soviet formula, presentéd by Valerian Dovgalevsky, lists the fol- lowing acts as constituting aggression: the declaration of war; the invasion by armed forces of the territory of anothér state with or without a de- claration of war; an attack by land, naval or air forces; a naval blockade or support to armed bands formed within the state which have invaded another state or refusal to deprive such bands of protection.

One of these officials writes: “Last year there were two moments, which might havé become signals for a real fight against Fascism. These instants passed without anyone mak- ing use of the brilliant opportunities they offered for a real struggle. One was on July 20, 1932 (when Papér removed the Socialist government o!
