WAR PERMITTED
COVENANT SANCTIONS POINTS TO CLEAR UP (Received 6th January, 12.30 p.m.) i " LONDON, sth January. Mr. Kellogg's Note has been formally handed to the British Foreign Office, which at present is not commenting upon it. Official quarters broadly approve of the proposals and believe that a multilateral treaty would not cut across the League Covenaut, though much depends on the text. But it is pointed out that the Covenant, in certain circumstances, permits, and even commands, war. Furthermore, in certain limited circumstances, like those defined in the Treaty of Locarno, Britain is committed to sanctions, which America does not mention. Therefore, till these points are clarified, there is no prospect of any official British communication. Britain may bo directly linked up with the discussions when, the proposed enlargement of the Root Arbitration Treaties, expiring in June, is considered.
