PLAIN DEALING
BY ALL NATIONS
SUCH is THE HOPE AND EXPEc-
TATIoN FOR CONFERENCE
IN WASHINGTON
AMERICA WON'T BE SELFISH

Even Result in the establishment
Of World Peace, but the skeptical

BY EDWARD 8. CLARK.

Washington by IA man Of high official
position that it Is the desire of the
administration that every question to
ament conference shall be answered
lin the light of public opinion through
out the world"
Ii is apparent from what one learns
from high sources of information on
international matters, that so far as
the United States is concerned, there
is to be no selfish lnSisteuCe on any
america first" plan which cannot
stand the test of criticism in every
country of the world. This means Of
course, that anything which can stand
this test necessarily must at the same
time stand the test Of American opin-
ion.
From this it seems to be the feeling
of the administration and it's advisers
in looking after American interests,
this country will meet with no oppo-
sition nor lack of sympathy from the
governments which are to be a party
to the conference, nor from any Of the
other governments of the world.
There is a realizing sense in the ad-
visory council of the administration
that each of the comforting nations
will have its notwithstanding pro-
posals. 1t seems to be the feeling Of
American officials that selfishness in
the usualIv objectionable meaning OF
the word will be absent from the coun-
Gil chamber. or that if 1t shall succeed
in entering there II will be overcome
by knowledge Of the way in which the
wind Of world opinion blows.

ment limitations, and OF Far East
problems. Nothing has happened here
yet to make 1t appear that the United
States i'm any way will attempt TO
circumscrIbc discussion within narrow
limits On the other hand, there are
evidences of an apparent willingness,
at present ut any rate, that one thing
shall lead to another in the confer
ence until finally there possibly may
be evolved plan for the readjust-
ment Of the international troubles OF
the world.
Now, as some men here say. all this
is admirable, but there are some skep-
ties who, while they want dlsarma-
ment and general peace to come, fear
and say that they fear that dreams
OF the present like dreams of the
past, may not materalae. SO far as
the United States is concerned, It is
standing aloof from participation in
league which was TO do everything
for the peace Of the world.
skeptics Are Not Wanting.
