WASHINGTON. May 14.-Efforts to
differentiate between the foreign policy Of
the Harding and Wilson administrations
respectively are not giving either Presi-
dent Harding or Secretary Hughes much
concern. They feel they are pursuing a
different policy. To the taunts of the
Democratic press that the Harding adj
miniStration is reluctantly but surely fol
lowing in the steps of its predecessors,
Secretary Hughes has just given a rather
positive anSwer-he has announced that
America will not take part in the quarrel
over the possession of Upper Silesia. This
he considers strictly European affair.
The supporters of the Wilson regime,
particularly those in congress who have
been very much pleased by the American
decision to participate in the allied coun-
ellis. say this is distinction without n
difference They declare that MeSsrs.
Harding and Hughes are assuming that
the Wilson administration would have
agreed to the use of American troops and
resources in settling such quarrelS as that
in SileSia. OF this, it is insisted there is
no proof-nothing except the repeating
charges of the 'irreconcilable' group that

dent to advise the press that on this
subject lie was present but not voting.

Should the zap question be considered
at a meeting of the supreme council. Am
basSador Harvey's powers of expression
win not be limited. lie can take part"
to the full extent Of his capacity for per-
suaSion. The zap mandate is considered
strictly an American interest. Anything
else like zap will find Ambassador Har-
vey an active member of the supreme
council. That, in a nutshell, is the differ
ence between the Wilson and Harding
policies-an announced plan on the part
of this administration TO refrain from
discussing matters of strictly European
concern as against an implied plan to Use
American Influence, moral if not physical.
to help in the settlement of European
Quarreis which might be considered as
having n direct bearing on the future Of
American trade and investments abroad.

America would drift into such position
eventually.
Nevertheless, it is a fact-and this is
the important thing that is developing
here-that President Harding and Secre-
tary Hughes are determined to avoid the
implications of the Wilson policy and they
are confident that in everything done thus
far they have been successful in hewing
to the line of strictly American as opposed
to strictly European interests.
Harvey's Position. -
Mr. Hughes has said in effect that Am
basSador Harvey win sit in the supreme
council meetings aS the personal repreSen-
tative of the United States. The other
representatives-Am Herrick of
Paris. who will attend the council of am
bassadors. and Mr.. Boyden. who will be
present at the meetings of the reparations
commission-wiH be unofficial observers,
or reporters. But Ambassador Harvey
has been instructed ITO take part" in the
deliberations of the subjects of the SUI
nreme council 1t is an explanation of
just what that phrase take part means
which is just coming TO the surface.
Colonel Harvey himself has the biggest
discretionary powers ever given to an
American citizen abroad with the possible
exception of Woodrow Wilson himself.
The other representatives at the supreme
council are heads of governmentS-prime
ministers and premiers. Mr.. Harvey Is
the personal representative of the Presi-
dent of the United States and AZ such is
privileged to speak up and take part
only when American interests" are
under discussion. OF course the SileSian
quarrel is not IAN American interest"
Therefore. Ambassador Harvey will re-
main silent and if asked his opinion will
state Americas profound hope that the
Europeans will settle it themselves. but
specifically refraining from any commit
ment on the part of the United States.
Can Discuss Preparations.
The rcparations question. however. is
construed as of American interest. When
ever it is up for discussion Ambassador
Harvey Is authorized to express himself
but with care and caution, that he does
not commit the United States to anything
except to the use of moral influence in
making Germany pay.
1t is realized here. of course, that when
certain matters are up for discussion Am
baSSador Harvey's silence may be miScon-
strued as a refusal by the United States to
approve what the allies may be advocat-
] ing. That's where the skill of Colonel
Harvey in the use of words will come i'm
handy for if the official reports say that
| the supreme council unanimously agreed
| to a policy of physical force in Silesia
