AMERICA MAY JOIN ALLIES IN DISCUSSION 5 REPARATION QUESTION

WASHINGTON. May 6. Sir Auckland Geddea . British ambassador, carried to the state department today the formal invitation to the Uniteti States from the allied powers to be represented on the rupreme council, the reparations commission, and the council of ambassadors. The invita

tion was cabled from London latt night. Comment as to the course the administration would take, was withheld pending study of the invitation. There were intimations today in s-ome official quarters, however, that acceptance by the allied government of the principle regarding mandates, recently enunciated by Secretary Hughes, might be made the condition of unreserved participation by the United States in the deliberations abroad, which it is asked to join. This intimation carried with it, however, the inference that the United States may express its willingness to assume a part in the settlement of the reparations problem. , The adjustment of the economic situation is regarded as one in which the United States ha? so great an interest that the American government would be justified In accepting the invitation to participate in

its consideration. The assurance by France that she would lose no time in bringing tc Yap problem before the supreme council and the expression by Italy of her approval of the American position has caused the United States to expect early consideration. Failure of the allies to take up the question at this time, however, has not been construed by the United States government, as an indication that it is to be indefinitely set aside.
