“means of “conference” HARDING SILENCE KEEPS DIPLOMATS BSY AT GUESS All Anxious to Learn Some- thing in Advance. on Foreign Policies. By David Lawrence. Special Correspondent of The Even- ing World. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22 (Copyright 1920),— Diplomatic Washington ts having @ hard time getting accurate information for the various govern- ments of the world on just what may be expected from the Harding admin- dstration in matters of forelgn policy. The folks who watch the fluctua- tions of the stock market from day to day hay “cinch” compared to the Ambassa. and Ministers who scrutinize the daily despatches from Marion or who seek by the subtle processes of social companionship to elicit from the many supposed In- timates of the President-elect in the national capital a fragment of assur- ance as to the future.

The Ambassadors and Ministers are by no means cynical or dispirited. Their private conversations are tinged with sincere hopefulness, even though they observe Interviews with Messrs. Borah and Reed saying America will have absolutely nothing to do with Burope on a political alliance basis, The truth Is Europe's statesmen are playing a cautious game with re- #pect to the Harding administration and the moves that are being made are all in the direction of securing American co-operation, For instance: 1. Great Britain persuaded the other powers at the Geneva meet- ing of the Assembly of the League of Nations that it would be more discreet to leave the covenant un- amended 90 that America might be given an opportunity to ex- press her viewpoint on changes, 2. Argentina balked at this de- ference to America, not \b se of unfriendly feeling the any to Unitd States but because of a con- viction that the other nations of the world ought to ibe big enough and independent enough to organ- ize a selvos, 3, Canada’s clamor for changes, especially on Article X., is largely the result of the discussion in the United States which has natur- ally overflowed the northern bor- der of this country, but ‘basically Great Britain is pleased at the inde f spirit shown by world association them- endence of the Canadians, for it would seem ty Qspose of the argument that the six votes of the British col- onies would always be cast as a unit for England: 2, Prime Minister Lloyd George's speech in London to the delegates who returned from the Geneva meeting is @ pointed explanation British policy. He says that can be no disarmament or ive world organization with- ut the United States. WHAT EUROPE WANTS IN WAY OF AMERICAN HELP.
