ALLIED INVITATION Is
BEFORE H PRESIDENT

Washington, May President
Harding had before him tonight the
invitation to the United States from
the allied governments to be repre-
sented on the supreme council, the
reparationS commission and the cOnn-
ell of ambassadors. He was expected
to bring the question before the cab
met tomorrow.
The invitation cabled from London
last night, was presented at the state
department today by Sir Auckland
Geddes, British ambassador, and later
Secretary Hughes was in conference
for half hour with the president.
No indication was given of the at
titude of the American government
toward the invitation, although in
some circles the belief was expressed
that the United States might feel JUS
titled in participating to some extent
in ~reparations settlements because OF
its interest in economic adjustments
growing out of the war.
There were some limitations also
that a condition precedent to unre-
served participation by the United
States in deliberations abroad would
be the acceptance by the allies of the
principles laid down by Secretary
Hughes in respect to mandates. Italy
has expressed approval of the Ameri-
can position and France has given
assurance that she would lose no time
in bringing the status Of zap before
the supreme council.
