TO FRENCH TREATY
Special trf.the Nome Nugget by The Associated Press:
WASHINGTON, July 30—A number of senators have already dis
closed an inclination to oppose the Franco-American treaty, the text of
which was presented to the senate by President Wilson yesterday.
It is likely that the opposing sentiment will be along the line that the
treaty is antagonistic to tlie American traditions regarding entangling alliances
and that it subverts the constitutional right of congress to determire questions
of war and peace.
The president maintains that the treaty is not an alliance and is
designed merely to protect Franco from a possible contingency which will be
shouldered by the League of Nations as soon as formed.
Senator Borah and others claim, however, that it has a force similar to
ullinnces existing for centuries among the European powers.
