FAVORS HAGUE
!: ASSEMBLY
George Nicoll Barnes Of the
British Cabinet Wants
Allies to Gather
AS PRELIMINARY TO
THIRD CONFERENCE
Thinks 1t Will Have a Good
Effect on Ger
many

London, May IA suggestion that
the United States might ask Holland to
take initiative in calling upon the al
lied governments to confer at The Hague,
not in substitution for, but as pre-
liminary TO the third Hague peace con-
ference was made by George Nicoll
Barnes, labor member of the war cabinet
without portfolio in discussing the ques-
tion of league of nations last night.
He expressed hope that another Hague
peace conference would be held after the
war.
An allied conference at The Hague
now, Mr.. Barnes added, could be held
without slsckening efforts TO beat the
Germans and in fact might even induce
Germany to inspect her position in the
world. People everywhere are ready for
such meeting, he said he believed.
