The pact, called a treaty of friendship, conciliation and arbitration, provides an elaborate procedure for the concilation of any differences which may arise between the two countries. The first part of the treaty is concerned with questions of security and reads: *“(1) The two high contracting parties | engage themselves reciprocally to take mutual steps and to co-operate cor- dially for the maintenance of order established by the treaties of peace, of which they are both signatories, and also for the respect and carrying out of the obligations stipulated in the said treaties. “(2) In case one of the high con- tracting parties should be the object of an unprovoked aggression on the part of one or more powers, the other party engages itself to observe neutrality dur- ing all the duration of the conflict. “(3) In case the security and the in- terests of one of the high contracting parties should be menaced by violent in- vasions from the outside, the other party engages to take political and dip- lomatic steps to the end that the cause of these menaces be removed. “(4) In case of international compli- cations, if the two high contracting parties are in agreement that their common interests are, or may be, men- aced, they engage to discuss together measures to be taken in common for their safeguarding.” AIR PROJECT DELAYED.
