JAPS' ANSWER
 TO INVITATION
 STILL AWAITED
Great Britain and Italy Def initely Announce Approval
 of Disarmament Meeting OFFICIALS CONFIDENT
Five Big Powers and China Only Nations Requested
 to Send Delegates

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Addition al pledges of cooperation reached Washington from several quarters t6 -day in response to President Hard ings proposal for an international conference on limitations of arma- ments and other world problems.
 Definite acceptance of the presi- dents invitation were received today from Great Britain sand Italy, while informal advices came that a favora- ble reply from China might be ex- pected soon.
 France having previously express ed her willingness to take part, the only invited power from which no sort of an expression had been re- ceived tonight was Japan. Adminis- tration officials were confident of an acceptance from the Tokio govern ment. however. and in Japanese quar- ters here it was indicated that the de- lay undoubtedly was due to the for malities of consultation among vari- ous branches of the Japanese govern ment. which are necessarily in the decision of an important public ques- tion
 It is understood that no advice of an adverse nature has reached the state department, from powers not asked to participate. Sentiment abroad seems content with the presi- dents decision to have the member ship of the conference limited to the big five powers and China.
 Program Undecided
 Press dispatches indicating that some British statesmen desired to have the preliminaries of the confer ence held in London were not taken seriously either in. British quarters here or hv officials of the admins < tration. It was pointed out that the 1 British government had accepted def initely the presidents proposal for holding the meeting here.
 Among high American officials there was manifest strong senti ment that the whole conference should be held here, both on account of the facility of business such a | plan would make possible, and be cause of a feeling that America was entitled to be host, since she had in [ itiated the movement and issued the l invitations. It was apparent also that convening of the meeting on Ameri- ! can soil would be reckoned here as | giving the administration an oppor ! tunity better to keep in touch with : the pulse of the American public [ opinion and more easily to marshal | public sympathy and support for the l efforts of the negotiators.
 Whether limitation of armaments or the Pacific situation would be talk en up first, will rest with the dele ! gates themselves. it was emphasized 1 Deprecate Opposition LONDON, July 13.-(By the Asso

THREE PARTIES ARE READY F0R
 PEACE PhRLEyS
Britain, Ulster, and Southern Irish Delegates Refuse to
 Discuss Conference
ACTIVITY IS INTENSE
Lloyd George and De Valera Will Today Try to Plan
 Three-Party Meeting

LONDON, July 13.-(Ey the Asso- ciated Press)-A conversation. which it is hoped may mark the last act of one phase of Irelands troublous his tory and serve as a prelude to the long sought peace in the island, is to take place in the dingy old cabinet room in Downing street tomorrow. The British prime minister, Lloyd George. and the Irish republican lead CT, Eamonn de Valera, will meet in an effort to clear the stage for hold ing three party" peace conference, In which Great Britain. Sim Fein and lister will endeavor to compose their differences.
 One of the most convincing indica- tions of the reality of the hope that the meeting will result successfully is the reluctance of both sides to dis cuss the details of the session. Both parties feel that the situation is so delicate that single unfortunate word might jeopardfze the entire proceed ing.
 Both sides are silent. Yet both sides have "propa ganda mills.'' fully organized.
 But while there vas little word for
 
 saw intense activity in both camps rho premier reviewed the situation with a large staff of advisers at his home while de Valera spent the day and evening in consultation with Ar thur Griffith and other aides accom- panying him. as well as with many I ondon partisans. The bishops of Southwark and Portsmouth were among the visitors at the Westend hotel where the Irish delegation has esinblished headquarters.
 The government unofficially sought to encourage the idea today that dc Valera's party had already been in close touch with the premier. even suggesting that members of the party had been at Cheuuers county during the afternoon, but de Valera's secre tary stoutly denied there had been any such conference. The only con t.ct of any sort between the two par t'es. it is asserted. was the premier's letter suggesting the hour of meeting and the Irish leaders reply agreeing
 Whether de Valera will enter the conference with a definite policy tC which he is pledged, is a question which one of his Associates today dealt with as follows:
 1.-TWO weeks ago any of us could have answered that query briefly and certainly. but the position is al tered now"
 Those who have followed recent events closely interpret this as an in dication that the Irish leader woulf not press the claim for an independ ent republic. but parry in an effort tt learn the utmost Great Britain wal prepared to give. then submitting thu matter to the Dali Eireann.

I'm oripinal intention was to have an in troductorv meeting between the tw men. but because of the recognizes dangers of a misunderstanding aris ing in such unaided discussions was considered probable tonight tha each would be accompanied by least one man.
