PACT OF PARIS.
UNITED STATES REMINDER. NO FORMAL INVOCATION. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. Mr Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, in a public statement, said: The United States asks those countries which appear to be contemplating armed hostilities to weigh most solicitously the declaration and pledge given in tho Pact of Paris. Officials emphasised that it was not a formal invocation of the Kellogg Treaty. Invocation of tho pact, they said, would have involved asking other nations to join in the appeal. Observers contended that for Abe United States, Mr Hull’s appeal bad the same force as participation in a formal invocation and could secure added emphasis only by simultaneous expression of similar views by other signatories. Mr 'Hull told newspaper men that ho bad not discussed the question with envoys of other Governments. Earlier in the day he told newspaper men informally that be considered _ Sir Samuel Hoare’s speech, a very interesting, able and timely appeal tor peace. , . . The statement, emphasising the peaceful ideals of the American people is interpreted by observers as placing tho entire moral support of the United States behind the world’s collective efforts to maintain peace.
