1t still remains somewhat Of question
whether Premier Lloyd George Will go

others that it is the height of his ambi-

election here this fall or soon after, and

that disarmament decisions can be taken
only ito the limits which will safeguard
Frances security"
If the decision as to the division of
Silesia leaves the slightest possibility
that Germany eventually would be able
to use the industrial area as arsenals in
war for revenge, France certainly will
hold out for the retention of sufficient
forces to meet such a possibility even
though NJ. BRAND admittedly Is more
moderate than his political opponents as
far as military forces are concerned.
The semi-official Temps suggests this
tonight, calling attention to the British
attitude the last few months which is
calculated to incite the Germans to op-
pose the French whenever possible. The
Temps asks pointedly whether the Anglo
German situation will continue until the
Washington meeting, and is urging an
early session OF the Supreme Council to
settle such problems as the Near East,
Silesia and trials of war criminals so as
to leave the field clear for the vital
question of armaments.
Only the Journal des DebdtS expresses
any doubt or hesitation regarding the
Washington conference. and this only
because NJ. Vivianis League of Nations
committee has already laid the ground
work 1T seems difficult for us on this
side OF the Atlantic" DebGts says, Ito
neglect any reports of this committee.
But how will Washington take it il we
take these reports to President Har-
ding's conference?
How can we expert the Washington
Government elected ON the principles of
pure Anericanism to adopt or accept or
even TO consider the reports of the
League Of Nations which it has refused
to recognize?"
The Journal des Debdts sees a possi-
bility of success, however, in President
Harding's favoring some sort OF an
association of nations in which the pres
ence of European, nations and their
economic and financial rehabilitation is
essential If the worlds economic equi-
librium is to be restored.

THE prospects of disarmament
and settlement of the Pacific
problems by agreement have had
a repercussion in Holland. 1t
has been an open secret in naval
circles in London for some time
that Queen Wilhelmina's Govern
ment was arranging a consider
able naval programme for the
protection of the Dutch East
Indies from the japanese men,
ace, the programme involving
many cruisers and some battle
cruisers. Financial difficulties
hitherto have held up this pro-
gramme and now that these have
been solved it is said the plans
have again been held up pending
the outcome of Presidents Har-

Without wishing to disparage pre-
rnaturely the benefits which may be
derived from President Harding's dis
armament conference, Germans antici-
pate it with mixed feelings. Being al
ready a disarmed country. and with
out tangible asserts in the Pacific, they
have no fundamental interest which is
Immediately involved. And whatever
limitations may be put on armaments
reduces the margin of superiority
which the ether countries now enjoy
But the Germans see that important
issues may be indirectly involved. and
what Is feared is that the French
may make sacrifices TO America at
Washington in repayment for which
they will demand guarantees in Ger

States greater leeway> in the Pacific
questions and support on difficult points
in naval disarmament and require in
TO the proposition that France be con-
ceded supervision of permanent dis
armament in Germany. a task now all
iotted to the League of Nations.
The Rhine Sanctions.
Another purchase price it is feared
might be Americas agreement to a con-
tinuance Of the sanctions on the Rhine.
These fears in part can be ascribed to
a situation which now endangers the
BRAND and Wirth Ministries. The con-
tinuation of the sanctions and the parti-
ton of Upper Silesia are the two issues
which. should both be lost to either
Premier, would be certain to result in
their downfall.
The Germans feel that America, hav-
ing no interest in how great military
preponderance France has over Ger
many, might be ready to let France have
free rein in keeping her military and
economic clamps on her eastern neigh
Dor. And the Germans expect that the
German peril will be played up by Tho
French press In anticipation OF such a
conference. ard that this drive at Amer
lean opinion may convince it that the
danger of Germany remains vital and
vivid and cannot be allowed to fame up
by too sweeping a disarmament on land.
Opinion Reserved.
Aside from these issues directly in
volving Germany opinion here is re-
served concerning President Hardings
step. IT Is felt that the differences IN
the Pacific are too irreconcilable for
disarmament to be possible on a large
scale, but an exchange OF opinions and
the focusing of public attention on the
idea is deemed OF real Importance.
At the most. mild limitations Of arma-
ments are looked for. and the Vossische
Zeitung assumes that Secretary Hughes
would only consent to this on terms that
would keep the present ratio OF naval
strength.
The belligerent Td0e Zeitung, which
Is always scanning the horizon for new
wars and Is cynical about anti-mili-
tarist Developments, has already con.
demned the Harding conference to fall
ure,- believing that the riddle is too
treacherous to be solved.
The Lokul Anseiger would not take
umbrage at Americas exploiting Ger
many's hopeless position. and writing
on what it terms "the mean spirit of
the Porter peace resolution reminds its
readers that it has always regarded pol.
itics as being ultimately a question Of
power in which popular ideals found
small scope.
