x NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 1930. Great Britain Reported Willing To Grant France Security Pact; Stimson Confers With MacDonald Washington Emphasizes American Refusal to Be Party to Treaty Author- izing Military or Other Sanctions. London, March 26 (A —Secretary Stimson and Prime Minister Mac- Donald conferred at the House of Commons this afternoon and it was reported that the premier told Mr. Stimson Great Britain was prepared 1o go ahead with a security pact for France. Secretary Stimson after seeing Prime Minister MacDonald dictated & long report to President Hoover. It was said that the scope of the security pact would depend on what concessions France was willing to make in her naval tonnage figures of 724,000 tons presented to the conference as the French program. Shuns Consultative Pact ‘Washington, March 26 (—The emphatic statement that the Ameri- can government would not consider any consultative pact that would ob- ligate military support was made to- day by Acting Secretary Cotton of the state department, who asserted the position outlined by the Ameri- can delegation at the London naval parley coincided with that of offi- cials here. Cotton said it would be a prob- able inference that a consultative pact would not mean a material re- duction of tonnage, although it might have a tendency toward that end. The American delegation's state- ment of yesterday, in tton’s opia- ion, was prompted by reports in London newspapers of a changed position of the United States rep- resentatives. He said the statement marked no change in their stand, but was merely a clarification of a position which the United States has maintained throughout. ‘Won't Agree to Sanctions He sald the United States held constantly that it was not willing to enter into any treaty which would give military or other sanctions to other powers. For that matter, he added, no nation except France had made a suggestion for sanctions, and the French suggestion was set forth in a public statement last winter. He said he was uninformed as to whether the suggestion had been made officially in the conference. Cotton’s statement was made after he had conferred with Presi- dent Hoover this morning. He de- clined to comment on his visit to the White House. Clears Atmosphere Paris, March 26 (#—The Ameri- can declaration issued shortly after midnight on the position of the United States regarding proposals for a so-called consultative pact. was regarded in French official circles today as tending to clear the atmos- phere at London and to hasten a de- cision. ance. it was said, continues to hope that the naval conference will vield results and Foreign Minister Briand, who left for London at noon, will explore all the avenues of & possible agreement. No surprise .was expressed here that the United States had reiterated her refusal to become involved in any pact that even implies aid, but the last paragraph suggesting that there may be other methods of guaranteeing French security again directed thought here toward a Mediterranean pact. Tt was recognized that Great Brit- ain is averse to being an active third party with France and Ttaly, but Foreign Minister Briand's speech in the senate vesterday was taken as plainly indicating his optimism that something could be done in some dl- rectons. Repeats French Policy He repeated, however, the French policy of insisting that any reduc- tion must be based upon compen- sating terms in some form of a se- curity pact, even if it should not be a strictly military one. French officials, it was stated. still regard the Mediterranean agreement as the obvious solution, but, failing that, hope that the Briand-Kellogg pvact for the renunciation of war may be strengthened or that the League of Nations may find a settle- ment. ‘Whatever the outcome of the pres- ent conference, France is represent- ed as remaining firmly in favor of the idea of general security pacts. Foreign Minister Briand vesterday told the senate that the old system of alliances was obsolete, “Today,” he said, “there is an al- together different conception of se- curity, mutual solidarity for the ben- efit of one great community; calling all nations to draw together and unite against a danger and to cre- ate guarantees against it in com- mon.” has) Americans Outline Stand London, March 26 (®—If France can obtain the military guarantees of security she wants from some other nation the United States del:- gation to the five power naval con- ference will consider a proposal for a so-called consultutive pact *with an entirely open mind.” A statement issued by the Ameri- can dclegation shortly after last midnight reiterated tormerly ex- pressed unwillingness to enter into any treaty involving the United States in any sort of a military guarantee of French security. The consultative pact would merely in- volve consultation with the othar five powers in the event of a threat of war. Denial was made in the state- ment that there had been an) change in the previously expressed American attitude in elaboratinzg paragraphs, however, the statement said there was no objection to a consultative pact as such, the dan- ger lying in the American stand belng misunderstood to imply an obligation of military assistance. “Such a misunderstanding might arise,” the statement said, “if the United States entered into such u treaty as a quid pro quo for the reduction of the naval forces of an- other power. That danger has hitherto inhered in the present sit- uation, where France has been d: nanding mutual military security as a condition of naval reduction, ag appears from her original sta ment of her case last December- See Chance for Agreement “If however, this demand for se- curity could be satistied in some other way, then the danger of a misunderstanding of a consultative pzct would be climinated, and in such case the question would be approached (from an entirely diffei- ent standpoint. In such case the American delegation would consid- er the matter with an entirely open mind.” The London morning press ac- corded the statement a great signi- ficance and accepted it as repra- senting possibly a turning point mn the conference. The Daily Herald said that it followed cabled instruc- tions Monday from President Hoo: er. The Daily Mail said: American change of attitude fol- fows representations made in Was ington by American delegates that such action by the United Statas probably offered the only hope or success of the conference in resolv- ing the deadlock between France and Ttaly. There was widespread conviction that Aristide Briand, Irench for- eign minister, agreed to come back to London today when informed of the American stand. which of no- cessity imputes a willingness to en- ter into a political pact, even pos- sibly embodying military security on the part of some other nation, presumably Great Britain. Herald's Views The Herald's explanation of the British part in the development was that Great Britain, like th> United States, would not accept any new liabilities, but probal would be prepared to reaffirm her full acceptance of responsibilitios already assumed under the' League of Natios covenant and the Locar- no treaties. “If such a declaration by Great Eritain, coupled with the signature of a consultative pact by America, would enable France to seduce her ship building program and waive her claim to superiority over Italy, we are within measurable distance of success,” said the Herald. Conference circles saw in the da- velopments renewed hope for a five power treaty of limitation and reduction, or paper reduction, since it was believed I'rance would find it the implied American proffer ths price she wishes to reduce her naval program which hitherto has made such a treaty impossible. The statement was issued after a surprise call of the correspondents to the American headquarters at midnight. It bore in its first para- graph the inference that the delega- tion had just been made aware of stories which the first editions of the London newspapers carried that there had been a change in the American attitude toward political pacts. This paragraph said: “A rumor was current last evening to the effect that the American delegation had made a change in their attitude to- ward consultative pacts and were willing to enter into such a pact for the purpose of saving the conference. It'is authoritatively denied at the headquarters of the American dele- gation that any change has taken place in the attitude of the Ameri- can delegation, which rcmains the same as several weeks ago. No Objection to Pact “At that time it was made clear that America had no objection to entering a consultative pact, as such. On the contrary the United States already is a party to a num- ber of treaties involving the obliga- tion of consulting with other powers.” There followed an unqualified de- nial of willingness to render military assistance in a guarantee of security: “It (the United States delegation) will not, however, enter into any treaty, whether consultative or oth- erwise, where there is a danger of its obligation being misunderstood as involving a promise to render mili- tary assistance or guaranteeing pro- tection by military force to another nation.” There was a general supposi that in some way the plenary session | of the confprence set indefinitely for next week was connccted with the overnight develepments of {hese po- litical lines. Hardware Trade Awaits More Favorable Weather New York, March 26.—Reports from leading wholesale hardware and housefurnishing market centers encourage the belief that a general improvement in weather conditions will materially stimulate the sale of merchandise, Hardware Age will say tomorrow in its weekly hardware market summary. Though practi- cally all jobbers report sales for the first quarter as less than for the same period of 1929, there is also the feeling that an active spring trade may be expected to offset that status. With the notable exception of cer- tain very seasonal wire products, hardware prices remain essentially firm and competitive pricing among wholesalers is considered surprising- ly limited. Collections throughout the hardware industry average some- what slow, but should certainly im- prove when spring business opens.
