BRITISH DRAFT PROPOSALS
The Governments of the United Kingdom, and Poland, desiring to place on a permanent basis the collaboration resulting from the assurances of assistance, of an exclusively defensive character, which they have exchanged, and thereby to give effect, in their capacity as Members of the League of Nations, to the principle of mutual support against aggression which is embodied in the Covenant of the League. Have agreed upon the following provisions.
Article I
Should the United Kingdom or Poland become engaged in hostilities with a European Power (not being a Power to which the other party had given an assurance of assistance against aggression), in consequence of either (1) aggression by that Power against the United Kingdom, or (2) aggression by that Power against another European State which both the United Kingdom and Poland had undertaken to assist against such aggression, Poland or the United Kingdom, as the case may be, will immediately give the other party all the support and assistance in its power.
Article II
The provisions of Article I will also apply in the event of any action by a European Power (not being a Power to which the other party had given an assurance of assistance against aggression) which clearly threatened, directly or indirectly, the independence of Poland or the United Kingdom, and was of such a nature that the party concerned considered it vital to resist it with its national forces.
