ALLIED POWERS
ASKED TO MEET
PRESIDENT HARDING PROPOSES
CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON
TO DISCUSS ARMAMENTs .
WAS PREDICTION PROMISE
Far East and Pacific Problems Would
Alec be Taken up At Meeting
n Proposal 10 Acceptable, Form
al Invitations Will BE issued

Washington. President HARDING
has taken definite steps looking to
conference In Washington Of the prin.
cipal allied powers to discuss l!mita-
ton OF armament, and Pacific and
Far East problems.
This announcement was made By
the state department. by direction Of
the president, In the following state
ment:
The statement said:
1.-THE president in view Of the far.
reaching importance Of the question Of
Limitation Of ornaments, has ap.
preached with informal but definite
inquiry the group Of powers hereto
fore known ~ the principal allied
and associated powers. that 10: Grea,
Britain, France. ITALY and Japan. to
ascertain whether II would be agree
able to them to take part in q confer
ence on this subject to be held In
Washington at a time to be mutually
agreed upon. II the proposal 10
found to be acceptable. formal invita-.
lions for such a conference will b
issued.
1T Is manifest that the question Of
limitation of ornaments has a close
relation to Pacific and Far Eastern
problems, and the president has sug
gested that the powers especially in
terested In these problems should I'm.
dertake In connection with this con-
ference, the consideration Of all mat
tiers bearing upon their solution, with
view to reaching common under
standing with respect to principles and
policy In the Far East. This has beer
communicated to the powers concerned
and China also has been invited ia
take part in the discussion relating to
Far Eastern problems"
The departments statement war
made public without comment and the
fact that the president had suggested
to the interested pas.cre~a joint dis
cusson o. the far Eastern and Pacific
problems. came as something of a sur
prise In Washington. The depart
ment's statement did not make clear
what nations had been approached on
these particular subjects, hut aside
from China. which was specifically
named. 1t was assumed that Great
Britain and Japan were among them.
Renewal Of the Anglo-Japanese al
lance Is subject before the British
and Japanese governments, but
whether this Is considered by Mr.
Harding as within the scope of the
proposed conference on Pacific ant
Far Eastern problems has not been
disclosed. Mr.. Lloyd George, the Brit.
ish premier, announced recently In the
house Of commons that he expected
to have a statement to make with re,
gard to the alliance. but this depended
upon "the replies received from the
United States, Japan and China"
