Conference to Take Lead Out of Hands
of Powers by international Commune

If this means anything it means Soviet
iZing international affairs. 1t means Boil
shevizng world relations. 1t Is the longest
step toward Lenine that has ever been con-
sidered by the western world. 1t is war
upon international capital, by which / mean
nations rich in territories and strong in
weapons to defend them
At the Paris conference the whole world
situation was in the hands of three men
representing the three great States of Brit
ain France and the United States. AT
Geneva the most striking single detail is
the effort to eliminate this control, now
resting in Anglo-Fr hands. and turn 1t
over to an assembly In which more than
forty nations are represented and in which
the sheer majority arises inevitably from
the weakest. smallest and in some cases the
least progressive countries of the planet.
In such an assembly the United States
would always be outvoted by the repre-
sentatives of the States of Central Amer!ca
and Of the north of South America, the
British Empire might find its fate In the
decisions of the new and old States of m dde
Europe and of the Balkans. South America
might demand the elimination of our fleet
at the same moment Europe, under German
leading, made the same demand of the Brit
sh Empire. In a word it seems to me that
the outstanding circumstance at Geneva is
the development of an international COM
munsm, political not economic, primarily.
which may prove one of the most amazing
facts in contemporary history.

Moreover, in the Paris conception the main
purpose of the council was to enforce the
settlement made in the various treaties.
But at Geneva more than forty nations
We're represented in the assembly, as con-
trasted with the council. Many of these
nations had not been bellgerents. Only
France and Great Britain were at all con-
cerned in the preservation of all the fruits
of the victory over Germany. The absence
of the United States fatally weakened the
prestige of the council, while both japan
and Italy resentful of their treatment by
the British French and Americans at Paris
were quite prepared to throw their lot in
with the assembly.
Might Be Called Battle
Between Soviet and Senate
The dominating detail at the Geneva con-
ference. then, was this revolt of the assembly
not inaptly describe the battle between
the Soviet and the Senate.
The assembly desired the admission of the
Germans and all the other enemy States to
the League of Nations, the destruction Of
the control of the league by the great
Powers. and particularly by France and
Great Britain. They were not in the least
interested in preserving for Britain and
France the sole beneficiaries with Poland
under the Treaty of Versailles, the gains of
the war. They were out to take the control
of the league away from the great Powers,
to scrap the whole Paris settlement so far
as 1t was unattractive to them, and they had
both the opportunity and. thanks to an
astute German manauvre, promptly acquired
the issue.
This issue was the mandatory system.
Under the covenant of the League of Ma
tions, German colonies and Turkish terri
tions not actual possessions but as
trusteed estates under the supervision of
the League of Nations, and in the league
the title was vested This system was
clever device of British diplomacy to get
around Mr.. Wilson's point" about the Ger
man colonies.
Mr.. Wilson had withdrawn his freedom
of the seas point but he could not yield
on this, while the British. under pressure
from their own dominions, were compelled
to keep possession of the Germany colonies.
Germany Starts Trouble
Over the Mandate Question
Germany, biding her time. suddenly threw
a bomb into the Geneva conference by pro-
testing against the fashion in which the
mandatory system had been worked. In
point of fact only two great Powers had
received important mandates, France and
Britain, and Britain Jared far better than
France. Japan had acquired the mandate
for a few Pacific islands, Belgium for
certain restricted African lands But in
reality NJ nations represented at Geneva
save only Great Britain and France were
vtally concerned in the mandate affair, and
Great Britain and France represented pre-
cisely the dominating influence in the council
which had aroused the assembly.
Thus automatically Germany set the
Geneva conference by the ears and called

other militia regiments adopted it. and the
jealous Second Regiment objected so strenu-
ously to the use of the name by any other
organization that the Federal Government
interviewed and gave the name as the exclu-
sive right to the first claimants 1t was not
until 1852 that it was extended to include
all the State soldiery.

recent victory over Germany; they are not
on the whole as hostile to Germany as t,
France and Britain. and they are quite capa-
BILE of making an ally of Germany in the
fight which Is just beginning.
Moreover, assuming that Germany will
presently be admitted to the league, and this
is inevitable, the small States will find in
Germany ready and powerful ally in all
their assaults upon Anglo French control of
the league. Disarmed herself under the
Treaty of Versailles, Germany is Bound to
advocate the crippling of the French army
and OF the British fleet to display new
enthusiasm to her old advocacy of the free
dom of the seas In all of this she will be
supported by Austria, by Bulgaria, by Hun
gary, her old partners in war, her present
companions in adversely AS for Japan and
italy, neither has any real interest in sup
porting France or Britain, given the attitude
Of France and Britain toward them at Ver-
sailles and since.
All of which leads up to the single ques
ton: What would the United States do In
that gallery. assuming that we entered?
Should We stand with the French and the
British against the rest of Europe, perhaps
of the world, in preserving the council and
thus fortifying the grip of the British and
the French upon world power and enabling
them to retain the gains Of their victory
dearly purchased on the battlefield? Or
should we join the small States and Germany
in upsetting Britain and France wiping out
the results of the recent victory and trans
forming the League of Nations into real
superstate dominated by majority rule and
thus by minor States?
At all events we must perceive the actual
as contrasted with the apparent at Geneva,
Anglo French policy seeks to preserve the
League Of Nations as machine for exc
cutting the terms Of the recent victory and
preserving the gains therein registered. But
Anglo French solidarity is shaken by the
fatal breach between the two partner Pow
ers With few exceptions all the rest of the
world desires to turn the league into real
superstate, in which economic resources are
pooled. in which all the advantages OF the
strong are neutralized, in which control over
armies, fleets, colonies, raw materials are
vested in the league itself and not In the
nations now possessing them.

cause 1t was Sunday.
Mrs. Heber H. Votaw, sister OF Sem
ator Harding, connected with the
woman's division Of the Washington
Pollco Department, was the happiest
woman in Washington to-day. she is
not at all surprised at the success of
her brother.
Il think my brother is the finest man
IN the world" said she.
mrs. Votaw came to Washington sew
eral years ago from India, where she
had becn q missionary, and has been
eHgHged IN work among young women
or Washington for more than wear.
She is the chief aid to the head Of the
Womans bureau and is greatly inter-
cested IN welfare activities. Her duty
IS to guide the lives Of women who
come into police courts. Her husband
IS a clerk on the Senate Comlnitteo on
the Philippines. O'
A story which throws an interesting
sidelight on the character Of the man
who has been chosen to lead the Re
publican party in the coming election
was told at tho Votaw home.
Senator Harding was strongly de-
voted to his mother, and for long
period before she died, it is said. he
never permitted a week to pass with
out sending her bouquet Of flowers
In addition to his sister, Senator
Harding has an aunt, eighty four years
old, Mrs. Jennie Coker, whose summer
home is IN Maryland, near the District,
Speaking of her sistcr-in-law Mrs.
Votaw said she preferred work with
her husband along political lines to
social activities.
"Of course" Mrs. Votaw continued,
whenever persons of note came to
Washington Mrs. Harding made it a
point to meet them, but she has never
been ambitious to take her position in
high circles and is member of no
club that l know Of, other than the
local club, composed of the wives of
various United States Senator's"

hung on the wall large picture of

In to-day's mail came q copy Of "1hc
Marion (Ohio) Star" which Mr. Har-
ding owns and edits. Its front page
contained large picture Of Major
General Leonard Wood and dispatch
from Chicago saying the General
seemed the most likely victor. The
dispatch added, however, that Harding
was still q factor and that there was
talk Of turning to him should the
leaders in the early ballots fail to ac-
qure the necessary number of votes
TO nominate them.
Senator Harding mas devoted much
time 20 his paper when ne was at home
and frequently wrote editorials for it
from Washington when his senatorial
duties permitted. It is his custom to
write these editorials with a pencil, al
though he dictates his correspondence.
Senate attaches, in discussing SEN

seen him greatly ruffled, statement to
which his intimatcs agreed. They de-
clare he is always aHnblc and polite.

credited as permanent ministers and
ambassadors
General Jacinto B. Trevno, Minister
of Commerce and Industry in the
Cabinet formed by Adolfo de la Huerta
the Provisional President, issued q

can remember is that they all said how
glad they were and to be sure and tell
the Senator and Mrs Harding that they
called up.
Before l had time this morning to
put on my Sunday meeting clothes the
telegraph boys commenced to arrive,
and | never saw so many kilograms in
all my life. Everybody wants to con-
graduate the Senator, I guess. While

boys over at the Siamese Legation, next
door, took charge of the kilograms and
answered the telephone and received
the cards that callers left. l guess the
Senator and Mrs. Harding know more
people than anybody else on earth"
"Chicf Cook" Is Her Title
The Harding cook has been with
the Senator's household for more than
year. She says her title is "chief
cook" but that she helps generally
about the house.
Asked if her ambitions leaned toward
the White House kitchen, Inez replied:
II guess l could cook just as we'll

Senator and Mrs. Harding, just as
have filled the bill here for more than
a year."
