Either Ambassador to Great

Represent America.
SOON TO NAME ENVOY

The United States Will refuse to
depart in any way from the position
of an observer at the sessions OF
the League of Nations to begin
shortly in Geneva. Either John w.

Great Britain, or Hugh C. Wallace.
American Ambassador to France.
will be selected by this government
to attend the sessions with the
chances in favor of the former due
to his more recent visit to the United
States when he had an opportunity
of discussing with home officials the
course to be followed.
Pressure has been brought, it was
learned yesterday, upon both Presi-
dent Wilson and the State Depart
ment to have the representative OF
the United States take a more active
part than that of a spectator, even
! if he could not be empowered to act
for his government. Overtures OF
this character have been distinctly
discouraged, it is understood.
Europe Extremely Interested.
Extreme interest has been exhib-
tied recently in European capitals
as to the attitude of this govern
ment toward entry of Germany into
the league of nations. The, State
Department has formed an opinion
on this point-that Germany's en-
trance eventually Is an acceptable
/ idea-but this opinion will not be
commupicated in any formal way to
the member nations of the League
Assembly.
Although previous intimations

| been to the effect that there was no
| objection on the part of the United
States to the admission of the enemy
at the first meeting, the failure to
obtain ratification of the treaty of
Versailles is believed by the OFF,
cials in Washington to have made
! it improper for the United States to
take any official step in the matter.
The only immediate question of
interest to the United States, 1t is
| said. under present conditions, is
the problem of reparations. 1t is
expected that the reparations COM
mission will make a report during
the league session concerning the
modification or reduction of the
amount of reparations that Ger
many shall be compelled to pay.
Finance May Enter Scheme.
1t is believed that the work of the
Brussels financial conference will
be determining factor in whatever
decision is reached. The United
States was represented at the ses-
sions of this conference. Although
1t was not a subcommittee or sub
ordinate body of the league Of ma
tions it's recommendations are held
to be of interest and germain to the
purposes of the league.
The work of the Brussels Confer
ence- consisted of a thorough discus
sion of the related financial and
credit problems of the nations of the
world and considered the possibility
of joint action toward the solution of
the difficulties to be encountered in
reconstruction of trade and indus
try as the result of the war.
