PUN AID TREATY AFTER BIG 3 MEET London, Jan. 13 (U.FO Pro gress has been made in prelimi nary negotiations for an Anglo French 20-year mutual aid treaty and both parties are studying detailed proposals for a Joint consideration following the im minent "Big-Three" conference, diplomatic quarters said tonight. The British are taking the view that relations between the two countries are on a substan tial verbal basis, making it un necessary for any exceptional haste in formulating a treaty. The effect of such a treaty on the other great powers, particu larly the United States, is one question that is making Britain move cautiously , despite her known willingness to sign a treaty with Gen. Charles De Gaulle. The proposal of Senator Ar thur Vandenberg (R., Mich.) for a five-power treaty to keep Ger many and Japan subjugated ex cited relatively slight interest In Britain beyond praise for its flavor of internationalism. Diplomatic observers com mented on the vast amount of study and discussion necessary to conclude even a bilateral pact not to mention one involving five such diverse countries as Russia, China, the United States, Britain and France. All major British diplomatic moves have pointed toward the settled British policy of bilater al or regional agreements for Europe and participation in a world security organization. A treaty among five great powers, while accepted as a splendid ideal, is not eminently a prac tical device in the views of Lon don diplomatic quarters. Shady Cove Shady Cove, Jan. 13.
