A crowd of hundreds greeted the fiyers as they stepped from a train at the Pennsylvania station late this afternoon, but it was an orderly crowd compared with the one that met them | yesterday. Police quickly escorted them to automobiles in which they rode to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Yesterday the fiyers arrived from Caaada by air and continued to Wash- ington by train to pay honor to the memory of Floyd Bennett, who died of pneumonia with which he was stricken while on his way to help them when they were stranded on Greenly Island ‘Today, having placed wreaths and flags | on Bennett's grave in Arlington Na- tional Cemetery. they returned to be on hand for the city's official welcome.

The only point on which Mr. Kellogg disagreed with the French stand was | the sixth stipulation. that the treaties should not become effective until they | are signed by all the countries of the | world. If that is insisted upon, he caid, | the usefulness of the treaties will be destroyed From the beginning of the discussions, however, he said, the United States has hoped that the anti-war treaty would be world-wide in its application, but from a practical standpoint it is clearly preferable not to postpone the coming |into force of such a treaty until all !nations can agree upon a text and ratity it Acceptable to Al It is highly improbable, he pointed out, that a form of treaty acceptable to the British. French, Geruian, Italian and Japancse governments, as well as to the United States, would not be| equally acceptable to most, if not all, of he other powers. However, he said, United States is not willing to lize the practical success of the proposal which it has made by condi- | tioning the coming into force of the | treaty "upon prior universal or almost universal acceptance. | He sald he hoped the six nations to which the treaty has been submitted would ratify it and be the instruments through which peace would be secured | throughout the world. ‘Taking up the consideration of self- defense, Mr. Keilogg said there was nothing in the American or Briand draft which restricted or impairea the right of self-defense. of Laty provisions, he said, ever{ uation | 1s free at all times to defend its terri- | tory from attacks or invasiaps. |~ There is no intention of interfring with the League of Nations in makin, such a treaty, Mr Kellogg continued. and no inconsistency between the cove- nant and the idea ot positive renuncia- {ton of war The covenant of the | League imposed no affirmative pri obligation to go to war, in his opinion. he obiigation, if any, is secondary and It also emphasizes that the project | attaches only when deliberately ac- | cepted by a state.

As to the stipulation that there should be no violation of the treaties ot Locarno, he said that if the partes | thereto are under, any posiiive obliga- | tion to go to war such obligation would | not attach until one of the parties had resorted to war in violation of | pledges. Regarding neutrality treaties, he said, the United Statese not being informed lof the specific treaties France had in mind, could not discuss their pro- visions. here can be no. question of law, he sald, i connecdon with relations with a treaty-breaking state.
