BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial Despatch to The Reformer.J
Copyright 1921.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-Presi-
/ dent Harding has asked Elihu Root To
assist in shaping the policy of the United
| States toward Europe, particularly in
connection with the Association of Ma
tons Whether Mr. Root viii go abroad
rs head of special mission, or viii stay
on this side as the American delegate TO
an international conference of diplomats
| is undetermined but the chances are that
! Mr. Root will sail for Europe just as
soon as the Harding administration is
ready to take the European governments
into its confidence
While this kind of Regotatioa oTdinar-
iIy would be conducted by American am
bassadOrs and ministers abroad, all of
them were appointed by the Wilson adj
ADMINISTRATION and it is not feasible to put
into the hands of the new appointeeS
such u delicate task until they have had
n chance TO be on the ground long enough
to famIlariZe themselves with European
conditions. Elihu Root, on the other
hand, spent many months in Europe last
summer in connection with the making
of the international court of justice, and
he already has all the background and
knowledge necessary to negotiate with
foreign governments. Not only has he
been secretary of state but he has rep
resented the United States at the second
Hague conference and is perhaps the
! best equipped American today to deal
with international lawyers, diplomats
and treaty experts.
Mr.. Root has not sought Office nor is
| he eager to accept any permanent post
abroad, as has been urged by so many of
his friends, but he told Mr.. Harding he
agreed TO render any assistance in mat
ters of foreign policy. There is "A close
friendship between Secretary Hughes of
| the state department and Mr. Root and
there Is every assurance of cooperation
between these two distinguished states
| men. OF course Mr.. Root is friendly to
tho existing league of nations and while
he never did subscribe to the covenant
advocating reservations similar to those
proposed by Senator Lodge. he does be
lieve that much of the machinery of the
present league can be maintained. Mr..
Root, however, wrote the Republican ma

policy pledging the Republican admins

| tiOns covering the same general purposes
