That would permit a hearing of their veiws to enable the conference to gain from any constructive suggestions they might offer. From such a groundwork, the Harding plan would proceed to the erection of the framework of a permanent international conference. It is the President's idea to have interested nations assemble around a horseshoe table somewhere once a year to talk over the issues and probj lems and troubles which are making for misunderstanding and bad feeling among the peoples of various countries. BIG SPECULATIVE : FIELD OPENED. That revelation of the form of the Harding Administration proposal to re- | assert for the United States the moral leadership of the world and to retain the political command gained through the President's action in summoning the conference and through Mr. Hughes audacious presentation of the naval scrapping proposals, opened up a vast field of speculation as to America’s next step. One of the cardinal principles of the Harding program Is a radical departure from th£ theory of the diplomacy of the past that written alliances and treaties were neeessayy among nations. The President will not countenance any snch departure by America from \ the principles of Washington and Jes- j ferson and Monroe. He stands squarely j where he stood in the famous fight of the Senate against the League of Nations j covenant. He does not intend to embark on any program of treaties, covenants or alliances. His settlements will be grounded in the honor and integrity of nations. He believes any nation which will not keep its word of honor given to another nation in the form of an informal agreement cannot be counted to live up to its treaty obligations. Therefore he sees no necessity for the latter. It was held to lend color to the suggestion which has become very insistent of late that the President has in mind a plan to summon to the council table the principal nations of the world wit ha view to discussing ways and means of bringing some sort of order out of the ehoas toward which European finance has been tending for many months. WAITS ON CONGRESS. It has been stated here for some days ; that once the Administration had ob- ' tair.ed from Congress through the Mellon Penrose bill tho enthority essential to a proper conduct of the negotiations looking to the funding of the war debts, some positive nrtion looking to assembling the principal monetary powers—iti- j eluding Germany—would be taken. The matter has been discussed prt- ■ vately here for some time. All manner of suggestions have been forthcoming, i American fiscal experts returning from ; Europe have stressed the necessity for constructive action. They have decried the trust imposed in war hajtfM as a I proper means of forestalling national j bankruptcy in central Europe. Some ; have urged 3 moratorium for two years. They have sought to persuade France her best interests lay in some such j source Others have discussed seriously j the setting up of an international bank- : ing organization which might be able to i contribute to the stabilization of ex- j change. But whether the second contribution by Mr. Harding to adjustment of world ! problems under the new leadership in the United States is to be a financial loss is not regarded as more lmpor- i taut than the disclosure of the method by which he would have America assume i proper place among the nations to deal i with political and economic Issues from which there can be no physical Isolation j for this republic. OPPOSED TO WILSON LEAGUE. The President ha snot ventured in the slightest from the course he believed best j for the United States in his first address to (he United States Senate in opposition to ratification of the covenant of the League of Nations which President Wilson brought back from Paris, it Is identical with what he outlined to those in htiß confidence during the campaign for the presidency. It is in accord with the thought he sought to convey to the American electorate, but which so many : people insisted on misinterpreting. It is ; (he same idea he unfolded to the late i Senator Fhilander C. Knox at Marion when stories reached Washington it was proposed to use the skeleton of the League of Nations covenant. The President has not ventured in tho political organization. It would differ fundamentally in that respect from the League of Nations. It would be even more of “association with the nations'" than tho much talked of "association of nations.” in other words, the Harding, Idea—ln which Mr. Hughes is said td j concur most heartily—ls that It is not necessary to erect political organizations suck s the league, or an association, or what-not, each and ail involving some sacrifice of sovereignty, some binding political commitments which would not leave nations free to act always in ac cord with their own national consciences and their own individual decision. It j would be far more simple to outline and | in operation. The Harding plan would provide that ; instead of the nations of the world meet- 1

Women at Conference Active tor Progress Mrs. Winter and Bird Giving Whole Time to Detail Work.

Special to Indiana Daily Timeo and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By CONSTANCE DREXEL. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—With the exception of the chairjAn, Col. William ■Boyce Thompson, who is devoting all his time to it, Mrs. Thomas G. Winter and Mrs. Charles Sumner Bird are the only other members oi the committee on general Information (one of the sub-commit-fees into which the ndvisory council es the American delegates cf the Washington conference has Been divided) devoting all their attention to its duties. A visit to the offices of the committee on general Information, just established in what Is known as temporary building number 6, opposite the Pan-American building, found Chairman Thompson and his assistant. Major Henry Shroff Brown, already installed. Inquiry elilcted the information that desks for both Mrs. Winter and Mrs. Bird are being installed. Meanwhile, they are working at their own quarters.

A.) and Mrs. Bird has moved from the hotel where she was a g*uest to an apartment rented In the Mayfair of Washington. • There is an indication that the conference may go on for some months. Other signs point to the same conclusion. Certain It Is that the committee on general information Is planning its work as if they may be at it Indefinitely.

British Suggest Harding First Put Plan Up to Senate WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—President Harding should ask the Senate and the American people to approve Ills association of nations plan before he submits it to other nations. This is the vlfew of the British delegation to the arms conference expressed today in comment upon Harding’s expressed hope that the present conference will develop into a permanent international association.

ing at Geneva privileged to discuss anything at all and usually getting nowhere with anything, a conference would be called for Interested nations to deal specifically with questions affecting their own people and governments. CALLS THOSE INTERESTED. The best example of what the President hopes to do in that respect is the composition of the current conference. The conference on the limitation of armament is restricted to those nations interested most vitally in the question c i armaments, chiefly navies. For that reason the conference is confined to the United States, the British empire, France, Italy and Japan. With respect to the Pacific and Far Eastern questions the Harding plan again functions in an identical manner. There are nine nations interested. There aie nine at the conference table. They are the United States, the British Empire, France, Italy, Japan, China, Belgium. Portugal and the Netherlands. It would be the same with a conference on international finance, or any other subject. The agenda would be agreed to in advance. None but Interested nations would / be Invited. Size would not be the controlling factor. The President is so confident history making results are to come from the present conference that there is every reason to believe all questions at issue among nations can be adjusted with like success, if they will Just meet around a conference table for a frank exchange of views. He does not favor the idea of a general invitation to all nations to discuss anything they eared to present. That savors too much of a debating society to fit in with his ideas as to the proper means of keeping peace in the family of nations. Formal indications that Mr. Harding might ask Germany to send delegates to Washington before the adjournment of the present conference, came as something of a surprise in those circles which have failed utterly to gauge the breadth of the President's vision in dealing with international affairs. The prospect opened a vast field of speculation and inquiry. Those who know the President's mind resented with indignation any suggestion that there might be a cause for concern in France over such a program. But, it was felt that by appealing so directly to the liberal thought in Germany through such an invitation to renew her standing among the civilized nations of the world, Mr. Harding would put to shame those forces in the league of nations which have refused to deal ditectly with the nation which is, after all the hub of all the plans.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

FAITH IN GERMAN RE PA RATION GONE Inviting Her to Conference Reopens Damage Question. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-—Germany will gladly participate in the arms conference, according to past and present information. An invitation to her probably would mean that the reparations question would be opened up sooner or later. Germany would like nothing better than such a discussion on American soil. As for agreeing to the disarmament questions, she is ready to do that, and, according to advices here and in Berlin, is prepared to give to an international tribunal further guarantees to allay France's expressed fears of a German invasion. Should the reparations questions arise, it is likely that its upshot would be a revision of the terms imposed upon Ger-’ many, for American and some allied authorities are now rapidly becoming convinced that an adherence to present program payments will mean eventually that nollody gets anything out of Germany but bad paper. Stage Hand Shoots Actress and Himself HAMILTON, Ontario, Nov. 26.—As the curtain slowly descended on a theatrical sketch, “Under the Apple Tree,” here, a shot rang out and Miss Cecil Bartley, actress dropped, probably fatally wounded. Another shot—and Jack Grubb, stage carpenter from New York, fell with a bullet In his head. Police say he shot the girl and then killed himself. The girl has a wound in the abdomen. Grubb had a minor part in the sketch. The police believe he had made advances to her and when she repulsed him, he pulled the revolver and fired.

and all sorts of publications and otherwise devising plans of carrying out Secretary Hughes’ instructions. Plans if* on foot to keep track of meetings of nil sorts where resolutions are passed reflecting sentiment ou the proceedings of the conference. ’Mrs. Bird and Mrs. WlEtr are putting all this into tabloid forth for quick reference whenever called tot by the American delegate*. The American delegation wants to keep as close to the people of the country as possible. That is where the advisory council of twenty-one fits in. It Is true the American delegation has a corps of experts In every branch of its activities, busy preparing all sorts of technical information. For instance, there is a corps of chemists from the War Department and men making bombs to be shot out of airplanes who are furnishing information on “new weapons of warfare," which is one of the subjects on the conference agenda. But these men are making these things; it is their business to experiment and manufacture these things for future wars. They naturally Btart from the premise that these things- are necessary. A neutral committee on the same subject—the sub committee on new weapons of warfare, of which Mrs. Edson is a member, Is also gathering information for the American delegation. It is almost superfluous to say their opinions would more closely reflect the attitude of the American people. The other subcommittees of the advisory council are on Pacific and Far Eastern questions of which Mrs. Edisch Is a member and the executive committee of which Mrs. Egan is secretary. How much the four women of the advisory council accomplish depends really upon the length and importance of the conference. —Copyright, 11121, by Public Ledger Company.
