FRENCH ATTITUDE
CONFLICTING REPORTS WASHINGTON, 4th January. The reaction of the arbitration treaty in Paris, Berlin, and London has had a peculiar reverberation in Washington, particularly insofar as concerns the French attitude.

Briand is informing Mr. Kellogg' that the French Government looks with great favour upon the American, proposal for a multilateral pact outlawing war is puzzling officials,- because of the first unfavourable reports. Dispatches from London indicate that Britain is doubtful of the practicablencss of tho America]- proposal, while a Berlin message states that M. Briand 'a original proposal for a treaty between America and France for the' outlawry of war was designed for the express purpose of getting better terms for a debt settlement and to influonco Washington opinion on a Dawes plan revision.
