Atlantic Treaty
Binds All Members
To Resist Attack
t
'Contined from Page One)
they are confident of eventual rat
ification. Acheson talked at vari
ous stages of the negotiations with
such Senate foreign policy leaders
as Senators Connally <D.-Tex),
chairman of the foreign relations
committee, and Senator Vanden•
berg »R.-Mich.>, former chairman.
The unprecedented treaty, pro
posing for the first time in peace
to bind America in an alliance
with European nations, was made
public at 8 a.m. <PST> by the
United States and the seven other
countries which intend to sign it
here about April 4.
This official disclosure of the
terms is expected to arouse Russia
to new heights in propaganda at
tacks against the alliance. The
Soviets already have denounced
it as an aggressive move against
them, despite the repeated asser
tions of western leaders that its
aim is strictly defensive.
The treaty, 1,040 words and 14
articles long, provides lor creation
of a council of the member na
tions, and of a defense committee
to strengthen and coordinate the
defenses of the whole huge region
of North America, western Europe
and the North Atlantic.
An attack against the territory,
occupation forces, ships, planes or
islands of any of the allies any
where in this vast area would be
the signal for all the powers to
spring into action, according to
the treaty’s provisions.
The key provision of the pact is
Article Five, which says:
“The parties agree that an
armed attack against one or more
of them in Europe or North Amer
ica shall be considered at attack
against them all; and consequent
ly they agree that, if such an arm
ed attack occurs, each of them, in
exercise of the right of individual
or collective self defense recog
nized by Article 51 of the Charter
of the United Nations^ will assist
the party or parties so attacked
by taking forthwith, individually
and in concert with the other par
ties, such action as it deems neces
sary, including the Use of armed
force, to restore and maintain the
security of the North * Atlantic
area. . \
“Any* such armed attack and all
measures taken as a result thereof
shall immediately be reported to
the U. N. Security Council. Such
measures shall be * terminated
when the Security Council rhas
taken the measures necessary to
restore $nd maintain international
peace and security.’*
That is the long.-debat^ed , sec
tion which, although stopping
short of an automatic pledge to go
to war, is designed to put Russia
on notice that an attack on any of
the western powers would instant
ly be met by all of them.
