"Why is Britain so much inter- ested in signing of the pact the article asks.
Britain wants to obtain guaran-j tees that her own territories will not be attacked, and thinks mainly of her Mediterranean possessions.
Furthermore, she wants to make less definite-the pledge she gave to France on March 7 last year that she will come to her ally's aid in the event of aggression.
