FRANCE GOES CAUTIOUSLY May Lose Allies By Pact With Russia

FOREIGN POLICY AIMS

AT

SECURITY

Paris, Oct. 21.

Questioned at to-day's meeting of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, with regard to France's position if Russia withdraws from the International Non-Intervention Agreement, M. Yves Delbos, the Foreign Minister, declared that the Franco-Soviet mutual assistance pact became operative only if Russian territory were attacked, and there was at present no suggestion of this danger.

M. Delbos pointed out that the Franco-Russian pact was within the framework of the League of Nations and that any question of aggression, for this reason, would have to be threshed out by the League before France could determine upon a policy.

Asked what would happen if Russia intervened in the Spanish civil war on behalf of Madrid or Barcelona, and if a dispute arose between the Soviet and certain Central European powers, M. Delbos answered that each of the contracting parties to the Franco-Russian pact retained the liberty to determine exactly what constituted aggression; thus eventual assistance was in nowise automatic.

Replying to questions in to what f Catalonia appealed to would happen if Madrid fell and France for assistance, M. Dellios declared France would do nothing without consulting Great Britain interventionist powers--Reuter.
