The New York herald., 1921-10-30

The cost to the United States will be less
than that of thel visiting Powers in spite
of the fact this Government is in the posi-
tion of host
An appropriation of 100000 has already
been made to cover the expenses, but this
will not represent the total cost to this
Government. Contingent funds of the
various departments will be drawn upon
while much of the work of the conference
will be done by departments whose over
head expense would go on just the same
If the conference were not held
Secretary DENLY of the navy has already
given notice he will ask for an additional
appropriation for entertainment purposes,
since his contingent fund has already been
used up The United States will bear the
expense of furnishing Office space &C., but
the Governments will pay their own ex-
penses in other particulars.
Great Japanese Delegation,
With Eighty Already Named
The Japanese have already announced
the names of eighty persons, including
delegates, experts, advisers, attaches, &C.
This does not include the large force of
clerks, &c., who will be essential and whose
Importance is not sufficient to include in

1t is expected the British and French
delegations will be equally large and those
from China and Italy almost as large.
The smaller countries will have smaller
number of assistants, but will be well
represented.
Assuming that the delegations from the
large countries will go over the approx
mate number of $50 and those from small
er countries will approach it, the total .
number of foreigners attending and con-
nected with the conference in some ca |
pacity or another from Great Britain.

at the Cairo Hotel, an apartment hotel,
located on @ street between Seventeenth

mer Minister to China.

corner Fifteenth and r streets, across
