Nations Near Pact Accord
Washington report says the United States and six other nations near agreement on terms of a new North Atlantic defense treaty. Envoys from five Western European countries and Canada held a two hour conference with Acting Secretary of State Lovett. French Ambassador Bonnet said our talks are sealed. Diplomatic sources expect broad agreement by weekend though drafting continues. The treaty would bind the U S and Canada to defend Western Europe against aggression. Negotiations resumed earlier this month with progress faster than expected. More invitees possible, potentially reducing future formal conferences.
