UNITED STATES
NOT
INVOLVED
BY AGREEMENT
Secretary Hughes Issues
Formal Statement Re
1 garding Pact
Neither Legal Nor Moral
Obligation Imposed On
Americans
WASHINGTON, Jar,. 10. OP)
Secretary Hughes today Issued a for
mal statement 'asserting tbat the
agreement reached in Paris at the
conference of the allied finance minis
ters imposed no obligations, "legally
cr morally,;' on the United States anil
that this country remains as fr;e
I from commitmcnu m European mat-
' tcrs as it ever was.' . '
The statement said the full text of
tbe agreement signed by Ambassador
Kellogg and the oUier American rep
resentatives would lie made public
as floon as ft was received here.
President Approves.
! Mr, Hughes' statement was said by
White House officials to have the full
approval of President Coolidgc, who,
it was said, had been fully advised of
all angles of tho controversy.
Tbe resolution asking for a copy of
i the agreement, proposed by Senator
! Johnson, republican of California, l
pending in tbe senate with tbo ap-
jproval of others of the irreconcilable
veterans of the Versailles treaty
(tight. From these and other quarters
I the state department has heard
charges that tbo Paris agreement,
signed by Ambassador Kellogg, the
secrotary ' of state-designate, ImiI
drawn the United States officially
into an involvement against which it
had been guarding itself ever since
the closo of the war.
Statement Olvan.
The Hughes statement said:
"The portion of tbe - agreement
reached at the recent conference in
Taria which relates to the participa
tion of the United Stntes-in the Daw
es annuities has already been pub
lished in the newspapers. Tbe full
text of the agreement is on its way
to this country and will bo published
as soon ns received. In the meantime
'it may be said:
1 The conference ot finance mill
lsters,held at Paris was for the pur
pose of reaching an agreement as to
the allocation of the payments ex
pected through the operation of tho
Dawes plan.. In view of tbe inclusive
character of these payments it was
necessary for tbo United Stntcs to
tako part in tho conference In order
to protect its interests,
2 The conference at Paris was no:
a body, agency or commission pro
vided for either by our trcuty with
Orinany or by tho treaty of Ver
sailles. In taking part In tills contor
euee there was no violation of the
reservation attached by tbo senate to
tli treaty of Berlin.
!! The agreement reached at Paris
win simply for the' allocation of the
niiymeiits mado under tbe Dawes
uliin. It does not provide fur Bono
tious or deal with liny questions that
might arise If the Contemplated pay
meuts should not be sufc. With re
apect to any such cummgency the
agreement in l'aris puts the United
Unites under no obligation legally or
morally and the United Btutos will bo
as free as it over was to take any
course or action it may Lbiuk advis
able.
il The agreement at Paris neither
surrenders nor momfies any treaty
right ot tbe United States."
Suggestions that tbe Paris agree
ment requires submission to congress
are not regarded oy administration
lenders as valid. They take the view
that It has been the Immemorial pol
icy of the Washington government
that the executive tleni witu an mut
ters relating to the collection of
claims against other nations. The
state department today reiterated its
denial of a story that Ambassador
Kellogg had soUKbt to qualify Amer
ican signature of the agreement with
a resolution absolving tho United
Ktotea specifically from any olillgn

for this country "tho day of nationnl

chastisement if not disaster," Canon
William II. lleeney of F.plscopal
burch, Winnipeg, Canada, told Ihe
Kogers l'ark Sunday evening club
here last night.
'1 shutl not go tulo hysterics and
talk of the yellow peril or the rising
ide of color," he said. The fact re
mains, however, that I be day of the

Japan to seiso the reins of lesdershlp
ill the orient, China is fighting her
way through civil wars to national
unity. India is throbbing with national
consciousness. It is certain that the
pent-up millions of these races will
roll from their shores to ours."
