HARVEY TO PARIS
FOR MEETING
OUR AMERICAN ENVOY MAY FACE
GREAT RESPONSIBILITY IN
CONFERENCES.
FRANCO-BRITISH IN ROW
Great Britain Likely to Insist on Not
Sending Troops to SiIesia-Pre-
mier BRAND May Try to Play
for More Time.

London.-On the eve of the meeting
OF the supreme council in Paris to con.
slider the fate Of Upper Silecia, one of
the most important gatherings of that
body since the armistice, the British
attitude and policy may thus be sum
married:
While Great Britain is willing to
give Poland her just dues in Upper
Stesia, she also insists that full con-
sideration and justice be accorded to
German claims.
There is a feeling in official and
other well-informed circles shat Pre-
mier BRAND, realizing the gravity of
the present situation, will not persist
in a course which would aggravate the
bitterness between Germans and Poles
and perhaps also scrap the Anglo
French entente.
In diplomatic quarters Ambassador
Harvey's position in the supreme coun-
Gil Is akin to that OF Henry White at
The Algerciras conference some years
ago. On that matter the Outlook,a a
Well-known London weekly, says: 1T
Will be interesting to know why the
Paris press repeats and clings to the
myth that Mr.. Harvey Is going to the
meeting of the supreme council mere
ly as an observer
This is profoundly true. II, and
when, any situation may arise to inn
peril the peace OF Europe, through the
Silesian or any other situation, the
representative of the United States
will act. The American administra-
hon takes the view that since the
United States was called upon to ex-
pend blood and treasure in one Euro
pean war, prevention of another was is
vital to American interests"
