Resurrection the Security pact talk at this time caused considerable surprises in american Headquarters because it was assumed that this phase the conference discussions was finished. Just How the matter was revived was still surrounded with considerable mystery but in Many quarters the impression prevailed that great Britain May have offered Security assurances to France in some form other. It was thought that if such were the facts it might account for foreign minister Briand a hurrying Back to London from Paris but this was purely a matter speculation. American stand unchanged. One thing was abundantly emphasized however this waa that the american attitude regarding a Security pact even consultative variety had not undergone a change.
