informa! negotiations among the pow
ers that are TO be represented. Japan.
the last Of the participants To give hel
consent informed the state department
through the American embassy at Toxic
that she would gladly accept" the
American suggestion to begin the CON
ference on the fourth anniversary OF
the cessation Of the World war.
Prepare Invitations
Thus the assembling OF tho dele gates
hero on day definite becomes IN as
sured fact. although the diplomatic
formalities require that there be now
formal exchange OF invitations and &C
ceptances. The invitations are expected
TO 60 forward from Washington without
delay and officials believe that prompt
replies viii hasten tho negotiations into
their second phase, a consideration or
the list OF subjects that are to be dis
cussed around the council table.
II Is the expectation that tho invita-
tions will be brief in text stating In
the broadest terms the general pur-
poses for which the United States has
ca lied the powers together. The date
and place Of the meetings will be named
and It Is not unlikely that there also
may be a suggestion that each nations
delegation OF principal representatives
shall number only five or six PEI sons.
Consider Rsprsssntstivss
Who will be the Ave or six - reH-
resent this country Is still an undecided
question. but President ItNrdinE and his
advisers are seriously considering long
list Of elig!bleS. The president himself
does not intend TO sit as mernber OF
the American delegation although he
probably will open the meeting with an
address limiting broadly Of the Amerl-
can policies that he hopes to see receive
general acceptance. 1t Is certain that
at least one United States senator will
be a member of the delegation, and ono
Of the places may so to woman. The
general expectation Il that the head OF
the commission viii be Secretary
Hughes.
