HARDING EVOLVED
LIMITATION MEET
WHILE ON YACHT

Washington, Nov. 17.-(By A. P).-'
Who formulated and executed the call
for the armament conference? Who
evolved the American proposals for
naval limitation?
The country has been asking these
questions. for the last week and has
been hearing variety Of answers.
The best inside story" in Washington
today has all the earmarks Of being
the correct answer.
President Harding on one Of his
weekend cruises down the Potomac
early this autumn. so the story runs.
locked himself in his stateroom ons
evening and left word that he Gid not
wish to be disturbed because he was
writing. A little later the president
called to his room. one by one. some

something which they all read with
amazement and greatest interest.
1t was the invitation to the nations
to the armament conference.
After some conference among the
party 1t was decided to forward the
text to Secretary Hughes, and the
yacht Mayflower. laid up for the night
in the still waters of a secluded cove
in the reaches Of the river. buzzed of
from her wireless that night to the
state department the words which lat
er were to ring around the world.
or course he preliminary diplomatic
feeler was transmitted to the nations
concerned. but it is said that the text
Of the final and formal invitatit n as 1t
later went out was substantially the
same as President Harding had con-
ceived it that night while resting on
the yacht Mayflower down the river.

heard around the world at the first
sessions still. another story.
Some admirers have ascribed them
to Secretary Hughes alone. while some
other persons have declared that they
were the composite effort Of the four
American delegates OF whom Mr..
Hughes is one. Everybody seems
agreed that they were not drafted by
naval officials, and almost everybody
had left out President Harding until
today's inside story" began to circu-
late.
The great secret to which Arthur J.
Balfour referred so artistically in his
address Of Tuesday must indeed have
been well kept, because between sewn
and 10 men knew it. That number in-
cludes the four American delegates
and President Harding. The others
worked on various phases Of the pro-
posal. 1t is known also that it was
based on memoranda called from the
navy department and carried into exc
cution by the American big four which
Secretary Hughes heads, but "the big
idea" on which the plan Is built. "the
inside story. says. came from Presi-
dent Harding.
