BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER By Cable to The Star snd the Chicago Datly News Copyright PARIS. August B obtainable from world here assembled as to what the Kellogg war outlawry pact does may be sum- marized as follows 1. It binds all sigi ace among themselves defined case nevertheless bre that are members of the Nations free to determine he aggressor and take appropriate ac- tion through the League machinery, but leaves non-League members, like the United States and Russia, if Russia signs. free to form their own opinions both regarding who is the aggressor and what action should be taken 3. Thus it insures that in case of war there can be no conflict between the United States and the League, provided the facts of aggression are clear and commonly agreed upon. information the atories 1o keep the except in of self-rel war 4. Tt does not abolisi war, for nothing | can abolish war as long as the possibil- ity of bad faith remains among men but. in Secretary Kellogg's words, it makes war more difficult, for hence- forth no signatory can attack another ate without breaking its pledge and running the risk of finding itself opposed by a coalition, not only of League members but of non-members like the United States, which feel a moral obligation under the pact to interfere against aggression 5. For all of these reasons, it tends to strengthen peace sentiment through- ount the world and give peace-loving peoples something concrete to hold and sist_ upon. 6. Finally, as soon as it is generally accepted, it tends to establish an en- tirely new principle of international law—the principle that for one nation to attack another is illegal, and must be dealt with accordingly. LARGE MAJORITY SEEN FOR TREATY Pro-League and Administra- | tion Senators Expected to Vote for Ratification. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Although there is always doubt on what the United Staies Senate will do about any treaty, the sentiment today is such that an almost unanimous vote in ratifying the anti-war pacts being signed in Paris would not be at all surprising All the Democrats who voted fo: the covenant of the League of Nations are logically in favor of the Kellogg treaty. All the Republicans who have supported the administration in season and out of season will vote as regulars for the This leaves the group of the old fight against the League and in that group Senator Borah of Idaho, chairman of the foreign relations committee, played a prominent part. He is today the leading exponent of the anti-war pacts in the Senate; in fact, it is openly said in Senate circles that Mr. Borah's insistence that some- thing be done about “outlawry of war” prodded the administration into taking ously the suggestions that first em- anated from M. Briand. So ratification by the Senate. if not a unanimous vote, then at least by verwhelming vote, may be said to be Some of the men who fought Leagué covenant will be for the if for no other reason than to by contrast what can be done peace treaty that depends for its eness on moral rather than al force and on moral rather tho explicit legal obligation.

There 15, of course, the usual doubt expressed as to the value of the treaties This was the case, 100, when the fam ous Bryan treatles were ratified, it be- ing argued that after a nine-month cooling-off period nations could resort to war, but that there was little Itk hood of it. The Bryan treaties are also till in effect. As between members of he League, the covenant and Locarno re still operative. Hen the renunci- ation of war s an instrument of na- tional polley is perhaps more a re- statement of & principle of international conscience than a formula for peace. The methods of maintaining and preserving peace are left to the na- tions of the world to devise. ‘The right of self-defense is granted just as is the law of self-preservation The notes of interpretation which ceded the signing of the treaty amount a to reservations, but in diplom they are not quite as binding re ions actually attached If.
