DECISION TO ELIMINATE CHARGE OF OBSTRUCTION Will Insist Soviet Respect Foreign- Owned Private Property and Foreign Debts. B the Associated Press. PARIS, June 19.—France will take part in the conference at The Hague with the Russian delegates, begin- ning June 26, it was officially an- nounced at the foreign office this morning. If political questions are introduced, however, the French dele- xates will promptly withdraw. The French government, it was ex- plained. has reached its decision to varticipate with the Russians at The Ifague, without waiting for further davelopments in the preliminary ;aelings there, in order to eliminate possibility that further delay might be interpreted as obstructive tacties. The French have received delegates. however, strict_instructions to adhere to the French policy as out- lined at Genoa, and to leave the con- ference at once upon the entrance of political questions. They will stick closely, it is stated. to the French contention that the Jviet authorities must recognize the ciple of respecting forein-owned ate property and the payment of pr sreign debts. HAGUE FEARS 13 HOODOO. But 11 Members Urged for Com- mittees—New Russian Envoys. Br the Associated Press. THE HAGUE, June 19.—The Rus- sian delegation is expected to arrive a week from today to begin joint ses- slons with the mixed subcommissions representing the other European powers. The popular aversion to the number thirteen is apparently shared by the statesmen gathered here. While they tacitly agreed that M. Van Karnebeék, president of the prelim- inary conference of experts, might put thirteen membess-em, each of the three subcommissions if he found it impossible to satisty the smaller na- tions under the original plan calling for eleven members, he had been ap- proached privately by many dele- gates who suggested that the larger number would be unwielding. Be- sides they believed there were enough rocks ahead without tempt- ing the thirteen hoodoo, so eleven members only will be named. Premier Lenin's illness, and reports of friction among the soviet leaders who are eager to take over his pow- er are intensifying the interest in the Russians. Apparently the soviet dele- gation will contain many members who were not present at the Genoa conference and an altered policy is expected, together with the new per- sonnel. Latest Chairmanship Plans. It is suggested that the subcommis- <ion on Russian debts have a French delegate as chairman, the subcom- mission on foreign property an Eng- lishman, and that on credits an Italian chairman. A movement has been started among the delegates to ‘induce Jonkheer Van Karnebeek to remain chairman of the central com- mission, thus avoiding inevitable rivalries arising through the selec- tion of a president from among the other nationalities. The opinion is growing among tlre dolegates that discussion of princi- ples should be avoided, it being diffi- Cuit, if not impossible. to reach an Agreement with the Russlans, con- Sidering the absolutely antagonistic hature of communism and so-called pitalism. Instead. the idea is yunced that each guestion hn‘_dl dssed practically as a business proposition. . —_— POINCARE URGES PACTS WITHOUT RESERVATIONS Presses Parliament to Ratify Treaties Framed at Washington. But Little Opposition Reported. By the Associated Pres PARIS, June 19.—Premier Poincare, it is understood, has decided to press parliament for immediate ratification of the treaties negotiated at the Wash- ington conference without reservations of any character. Rear Admiral Lacaze, former min- ister of marine, who was charged with the task of studying the’ treaties, e: pecially the naval limitation pact, has reported to the premier that in his judgment there will not be any pro- hounced opposition - ‘One consideration that seems to have weighed strongly with the gov- ernment in_reaching its decision is that it would be well for France to ratify these treaties before Great Britain, with a view to modifying the unfavorable impression produced in America by the French delegation's * position on some aspects of the naval question. The French government, it is de- clared, has determined to decline to accept amendments or reservations, although it seems quite probable that ‘some will be proposed in the chamber of deputies. —_— HOST TO DENBY PARTY.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. (Copyright, 1922.) President Harding's readiness to agree to a postponement of action by the House of Representatives on the ship subsidy bill is an afffrmative step induced by considerations of strategy which he believes will insure the passage of the bill at this ses- sion of Congress. | Details of the President’s positfon ame know foday after his return from 3 week end cruise on the Ma Mower, Mr. Harding will compmiifif views House leaders or two. In brief, Mr. Harding mot trying to dictate the exact day and hour when the subsidy Lills sheuld be passed and is willing to defeg, to the judgment of House Jeaders on this point so long as he gets the legislation through before the present session of Congress a.d-l journs. Meets Dilemma Well. Having made the threat that he will call Congress into extra sesslon_ if an adjournment is taken” without passing the subsidy bill, Mr. Harding found himself confromted with the cate his to § | . through now while the House is in a disappointed mood over having been mpelied to stay here against 1its} will or waiting till members have had | a little vacation and. gotten an op-! portunity te “mend their political fences” back home. The President could have forced ac- tion this week, but it would have been at the expense of an emasculated biil. Mr. Harding is showing shrewd gns of generalship in catering to the wishes of the House leaders at this time, so that when the members get back in six or seven weeks they will have no excuse for further delay. The truth is that Mr. Harding wus persuaded to yield to the plan ‘of postponement largely because of the argument made to him by members of the rules committee that they hadn’t_had sufficient time to study the subject. Mr. Harding learned, for instance, that the record of the hear- ings before the merchant marine committee had not been assembled and_bound, so that the matter could be thoroughly digested. Several lead- ars said they thought members would | feel better about it after they also| had had a chance to convass publ | Nothing to Lose. As matters stand now Mr. Harding will lose nothing by keeping on friendly terms with the House mem- bership. Ho will get a better bill passed six weeks from now than he could get this week. Even if the sub- sidy bill were to be passed by the House within the next few days, as Mr. Harding originally thought would be the case, the measure would have to lie over for another month of two until the Senate finished work on the tarift bill. Under the new plan, to which:Mr. Harding has agreed, (he House will recess three days at a time under a gentlemen’s agreement between the Jeaders of the democratic and repub- lican parties to the effect that no party matters will come up for con- sideration while the members take a vacation. Then when the tariff bill is ready the House will be called back and the measure sent -to con- ference in a few days. ‘While the tariff bill s in confér- ence the House will act on the ship subsidy bill and the Senate will take up tho bonus if it hag not been given right of . way over tfie tariff by that time. The Senate may, of course, be discussing the subsidy measure while | | but the President is of, the opinion that Congress ought to and will place a ship subsidy law on the books be- fore the autumn elections. Other Advantages in Waiting. /Other advantages in waiting till later in the summer for action on the ship subsidy bill lie in getting a more, dispassionate view later on the ques- tion of gelling liquor on board Amer- jcan ships than is ‘possible at the present time. It is . expected that facts and figdres will be marshalled, first, to prove that American ships will be at a serious disadvantage it the sale of liquor is prohibited on! board American vessels while those under foreign flags are . unmolsted and,’ second, that treaties will. pre- vent the application of American law to forelgn vessels, as cont in m:"lnt bills, which 'o?d’h :‘r:? et “mcnt l-tgxln-u on Iny P s to And from the United States. > | MANY-NAVY | istration, of the United States Navy.

BALTIMORE, June 19.—The last ship to take on coal at this port for export was the Norwegian steamer H. K Waage, which sailed for Cuba on April 10 with a cargo of 2,916 tons.

It is declared that there is no indication of an early revival of the trade and that coal from England may be expected shortly to be imported here. MOVES T0 ABOLISH “Pork-Barrel” Method Investigated.

The Illinois senator said Theodore Roosevelt, acting Secretary of the Navy, believed that “many naval establishments” could be closed with- out impairing the Navy's efficiency.

DeZlaring _appropriations for the naval establishment were excessive, Senator Borah said that the leading naval nations were “today in just as great a naval race as ever,” except in the single exception of dread- naughts. Senator Borah sald “bad faith” of the nations was the cause and recalled that the United States was the only nation so far ratifying the arms conference treaties.
