Limitation of Forces Must Be Settled by European Nations Before America Will

Step in toHelp. !S REMEDY-FOR IUS llT MARK SILUTAJf WASHINGTON. March 18. The declination of the United States, in response to the invitation to participate in the Genoa conference, has been received almost universally by a kind of comment which shows that the true motive of our declination was rot understood. It also shows that th j future American attitude toward Eu rope is equally misunderstood. Quite generally the comment that has attended the Incident has taken for granted that our preferring not to participate in the Genoa conference is an act in the direction of continued or renewed isolation f roni European affairs. This is not the case. The parents . of the policy which dictated this reply to the Genoa conference are Secretary of State Hughes and Secretary of Commerce Hoover. Neither of theso men is a believer in isolation on the part of America from a proper degree of participation in international affairs. On the contrary both of them are ?o identified with public expressions of conviction in favor of closer international relations that in the minds of the irreconcilables and other isolationists, their Republicanism is regarded as a little tainted. Had Little Weight. Lot us consider first a motive which has been widely ascribed to the rdininistration for its recent action about Genoa, but which in fact had little weight in it. It has been said that the administration hesitated to go to Genoa because acceptance might have been fuel to the opponents of the ratification of the four-power treaty. It is a fact that in connection with the Washington conference, spokes men of the administration have re peatedly affirmed that that conference should be made a completed suces before other conferences should be held. Naturally, the Washington confer ence is not a completed success until

after our senate has acted on its results. It has frequently been said on the part of the administration, in connection with the Washington conference, that our policy In regard to restoring the world to equilibrium is to take one definite step at a 4ime, and o make each step successful before the next is taken.Harvey Expresses It Ambassador - Harvey, at - London, once expressed it by saying that the a rurposo of the Washington adminisvO tration "was' not to see whether the nations could agree upon everything hut whether they could agree upon one thing." In this, as in so many Republican utterances about foreign policy, there was the implication of a back-handed

slap at the league of nations. But in its essence this expressed the firm intention of the administration to do one thing at a time and to do it well. Such p. policy on the part of the adTinistratior necessarily involves th vlgJi that the next, conference should be postponed until after the results of the present conference are ratified bv our senate. Did Not Weigh Heavily Nevertheless, this did not weigh heavily in the decision not to go to Genoa. It is true that the first date pot by the promoters of the Genoa conference. March 10, would have come right in the midst of the senate debate on ratification of the fourpower treaty." Many of the actions taken by the Genoa conference would have been appearing in the newspapers on these days, during which the four-power treaty is being debated in the senate. Some of these actions would undoubtedly have been seized upon by the opponents of the four-power treaty to Incite in the American public suspicion against all forms and degrees of cooperation by the United States in international matters. But the postponed date set for the Genoa conference, namely, April 10, will come at a time when presumably 1ne senate debate will have been com(&I pleted. April 10 as the date for the Genoa conference would not embar - rass the administration in this respect. Might Have Consulted Incidentally it is obvious that the original promoters of the Genoa con ference, when they first launched it m January, might have done better u ihev had consulted America before - ... . they made hoir dpo slon and before they issued the invitations. If they had followed the precedent set by our government in calling the Washington conference, they would have consulted in advance those who were to be invited both as respects the date and as respects the subjects to be taken up. It is the subjects to be taken up by the Genoa conference, or more accurntelv. the subiects which the nromotv.o nAnfo.nn.o fiiin,i n ritt rr their agenda that has had most to doi with determinine the decision of our government not to participate. Agenda Not Pleasing. The agenda of the Genoa conference did not include the subject of German reparations, nor the subject of land disarmament, and It has been know for months that the attitude of America is that there can be no permanent economic help for Europe until these two questions are first settled right. The governments and statesmen of Europe have had abundant opportunity to learn that this is the attitude of America. Until the German reparations are fixed and accepted by everybody as a definite and unchangeable future condition, there can be no certainty about
