Bf DAVID LAWRENCH.
Especial to The Argus. }

Washington, May 17-Trouble
between Great Britain and France
gives great concern here not be-
cause Of any fear that the two coun-
tries will come into actual physicaA
conflict but because the contro-
versy may keep the European mind
agog over war and its implications
instead OF peace and its economic
benefits.
Americas decision to keep hands
OF the Silesian quarrel can not be
taken literally. OF course Presi-
dent Harding and Secretary Hughes
do not want to mix in what might
be for the moment a strictly Euro
pean quarrel but American inter-
est in what is going on is just as
true today as it was when Senator
Knox, leader Of the irreconciiables
inserted in the new famous para
graph five of his peace resolution
a declaration that the United States
would view with grave concern
anything that threatened to upset
the peace of the world.
So long as the disputes over the
possession Of Upper Silesia is q ter
ritorial squabble between European
nations and gives no sign of grow
ing into a major quarrel, America
looks on and says nothing. But the
possibility that the United States
might be asked to mediate or might
even be urged to tender her good
Offices to being discussed as q
phase Of the situation that would
bring about a change Of attitude at
once.
The United States government
appears hopeful that the French
