Differences of interpretation of the #ffect of the four-power pact were {pharacterized by President Harding last night as unimportant and will fot be allowed to eclipse the main purpose of the treaty, of preserving ace and providing a means of con- jultation when peace is threatened. ., The President took the occasion to nounce that he was more than sat- sfled with the work of the American Helegates and that there was no justi- fication for the charge that they were Withholding information. President’s Statement. _ The President's statement follows: “The President will offer no com- ment on the disputes which attempt %o magnify the differing constructions Bn the four-party treaty. To him these are unimportant. The big things aimed at are understandings for peace &nd an agreement to meet and discuss ho preservation of peace whenever t in threatened. i “No_alliance or entanglement is ghought of, none will be negotiated. It would be better to rejoice over ghings accomplished than to dwell on FOR U. S. ANDBRITAIN A Christmas message of hope for good will and lasting peace be- tween America and Great Britain issued 1 evening br Arthur J. Balfour, head of the British em- pire delegation to the present con- ference, in which he said: “I welcome the opportunity which has been granted me of sending Christmas greetings to my American friends, known and ug- known. “If this be the season which, above 11 others, suggests thoughts of peace on earth and good will toward men, surely therc are no nations between whom that peace should be more secure and that good will more ardent than the two great peoples of English speech. Such has always been my faith, and never did it seem nearer complete realization that at a mo- ment when, under American lead- ership, so much is being done to- ward diminishing armament and removing causes of international offense. “A Christmastide so spent should ‘be the surest prelude to a happy New Year.

After six hard-driven weeks of ne- gotiation, the end of the Washington conference Is not yet in sight. Im- portant problems have been dealt with, important problems are being dealt with, important problems re- main to be dealt with. We are still in the midst of a hard diplomatic struggle. That the con- ference will “succeed” is generally taken for granted. Some of the re- sults can already be foreseen. The others are still obscure. » The orlentation given the negotia- tions by American Initiative was such that, up to the present. the ef- forts of the American delegation have been devoted almost entirely to two principal alms—the limitation of naval armament in accordance with the plan lald down by Chairman Hughes, and the abrogation of the Anglo-Japanese alllance. _The latter of these aims has already been at- tained, and the former, despite the French ratio dispute, seems In g fair way to attainment. But the price Becelve—l'r_esents Exchanged Among Employes. Santa Claus was & guest of more than 1,000 employes and officials of the government printing office yes- terday, when Public Printer and Mrs. George H. Carter recelved at the print shop during a Christmas celebration. Seasonal decorations were distrib- uted throughout the building and presents were exchanged among the employes. The new auditorium of the building, although not yet finally completed, was thrown open to in- spection parties and a general com- munity Christmas spirit was in evi- dence during the eritire program. Announcement was made during the exercises that Mrs. Carter, wife of the public printer, is ready to con- tribute $500 toward the purchase of the grand plano for use in the audi- torlum., which 1s being planned through the allled printing trades council. Public Printer Carter delivered a short address, during which he felici- tated employes and officials of the plant and wished them the season’s greetings. Addresses also were deliv- ered by representatives from virtually every section of the oftice. The celebration was staged in the lobby near the large stairway, on which were crowded hundreds of the employes and members of many of their families. BRITISH SKEPTICAL | versary's weak points A FENCING MATCH Insistence on Submarine Pro- gram at Conference Here Held Evidence. BY HIRAM K. MODERWELL. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily Newn, Copyright, 1 PARIS, France, December 24.—A dozen contradictory reports as to the result of the London conference be- tween Lloyd George and M. Briand are In circulation here. The corre- spondents, who are popularly sup- posed to know “what Briand is think- ing.” are in complete disagreement, while the premier smiles and ass that the results are “satisfactory.” It is safe to assume that nothing has been settled finally. The dialogue of the premie appears to have been a fencing match to determine the ad- and the real duel is to come later. This is evident from the fact th, the French delegation in Washingtc is still insisting on the large =ub marine program which apparently is being maintained to force important concessions from Lloyd George. One theory. widely believed here, is that the United States, believing the Anglo- Japanese allia =olved, rece power pact to cffset tha in the four- t alliance and o S5 pald has been the subordination of iffe: t view: hich ¢ by f no Mifferent views which can be of n neluging the far great consequence. all other 1ssues, e Sresident is unwilling that tne | ANt Than Treaty Interpre- |2IL, oher ohee 4 aunjustified charge that the United ~ 1“In an linternational conference o tates delegates are withholding in- | H i Tha & delegation cannot very ?urmuliun SSHAll g0 unshallenged: | tations, He Holds. ;",‘;’, ‘;,':fe more than two ,pr\‘;;:";g:l He had full confidence. else he had 5 e jectives.
