Economic Parley Report Put

Out by Europe Harding Not Likely to Take Initiative in Calling Sessions. SETTLEMENT HOPED

By MARK SI LI.IVAY "WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 Another conference, an economic one, la in the air. There can't be much doubt about that. Even the least sophisticated person must have learned to read the signs when that occasionally serviceable hand-maiden, the newspaper, is cal

led into the anteroom of diplomacy, and ve see cautiously vague dispatches from London, to the effect that the British capital has heard "rumors of an International economic conference at Washington." Now rumors, as a rule, are subject o that same law that has been expressed in the epigram, "Things don't happen; they are brought about." In the present case, it is safe to say the rumor is invented for the purpose of being heard, and heard in the right place. In the present instance, the right place is Washington. The particular dispatch in the present case goes on to gay that, while "it is not assumed that such a conference has been decided on," nevertheless, "the

success of the armament conference has aroused hopes that the economic troubles of Europe may be settled by a similar gathering." Discreet Reference There is a discreet reference to "vague reports that Lloyd George and Briand intend to go to Washington together." The London Times is quoted as saying: "The suggestion is hazarded that M. Briand and Mr. Lloyd George might not deem the moment inopportune to lay the whole question of the needs of f-battered Europe before President Harding, who undoubtedly has the warmest sympathy for the stricken continent." The London Daily Telegraph is quoted as saying that "any American initiative would wej corned with enthusiasm." Finally, in this same dispatch from Ixmdon .the Morning Post is quoted to the effect that "such a conference, if

participated in by America, would be !

a welcome development." Diplomatic Feeler. All this, let the reader understand, constitutes one variation of that versatile and complex process that goes

bonds. The last fiscal year the government purchased more than $300,000,000 of bonds at below par. The treasury's advice to the public to hold its bonds comes at a time when the' various Liberty and Victory-

Ballot on Ratification of the!

Anglo-Irish Treaty in Public Session Tomorrow Expected In Secret Session. POINTS OTCONFLICT

(By Associated Press) DUBLIN, Dec. 15. Hone that the Dail Eireann would be able to reach a vote on ratification of the AngloIrish treaty in a public session tomorrow was expressed by Michael Collins one of the advocates of ratification, as the Dail went into secret session at 6 o'clock this evening. Today's session was held in private because, despite the exhaustive debate of yesteraay a decision had not been reached on the preliminary points regarding the authority of the Irish plenipotentiaries who signed the treaty, and their method of exercising their authority. The. Freemen's Journal states that, at the private sessions yesterday courtesy and friendliness entirely superseded the snappishness noticeable in the morning. It was found neces

sary, however to appoint a committee emrnent

to examine all the correspondence rc- j lating to the delegates mission to Lor.don, and the report of this committee '

was presented today. Urge Session. The controversy over the procedure of the British delegates is regarded with impatience by the press and public, and expressions are heard oa every side urging a decision on the real issue acceptance or rejection of the agreement. A large crowd assembled to watch the members of the Dail arrive at the

National university where the sessions

are being held, and the welcoming cheers were again impartially distributed. Today's newspapers . publish a letter from Mary MacSvviney, sister of the late Lord Mayor of Cork, protesting in strong terms against the treaty.

hanges in public feeling or by other events. The one sure limit to what Harding is likely to do is the limit .( what would be approved by the United States senate and the American people. Within that limitation President Harding is not likely to take the initiative for an economic conference in which Europe has so much larger a nart than we have. It was Europe

Europe Suffers More. It is true we suffer greatly in our business by reason of conditions which an economic conference would cure, hut Europe suffers more than vte do.

The European propagandists

If Europe wants this economic conference the best way to promote it is ;irst. to fix the German reparations for which Europe and not America ,are responsible, and then stop keeping up large armies and stop printing paper money. Both of which are steps thai Europe and Europe only can take. After this exercise of self help an economic conference would look mote ipaonable to America.

course on this new element of controversy in the far eastern negotiations was the subject of serious discussion by the other delegations today as they prepared for a decision, probably at the next meeting, as to whether the subject can properly be taken up under the conference agenda. In the view of the Chinese representatives, however, the subject actually is before the conference now and must be disposed of one way or another. The conference also faced an additional complication in the far eastern negotiations today as a result of China's request that it take definite steps to abolish all claims to "special spheres of influence" which have grown out of the several treaties with

China.
