ground that it really is interested IN
and has called an inter
national conference to discuss this
question. Those who know what IS
going Oh behind the scenes are not
seriously impressed by this argument.
The general view here is that the dis.
armament conference is mere cam
outage behind which a new league OF
nations will be organized rather
q league Of international bankers, for
that will more truly describe its pur-
pose. This is made fairly evident by
the call to the situation will be taken
up first and then an effort will be
made to form an agreement on the
whole maze Of international intrigue
which was left unsolved by the con-
ference at Versailles. 1t is very ike
" that the diplomats will meet behind
closed doors, instead Of reaching op,,
| en- covenants openly arrived at" and
inasmuch as the same elements which
betrayed the hopes and sacr1hces OF
the world at Versailles will again DC
| in control, there is not the slightest
reason for supposing that any differ
ent end will be arrived at. This il
a cynical view, but it conforms to TIT
/ realities of the situation and does MOI
] raise hopes which later must be doom
ed to disappointment.
