function which affects the peace Of
Europe and indirectly the peace of the
world. But since the Versailles league
is so closely interviewer with the
penalties growing out of war. Mr..
Harding believes that nations which
did not participate in the last war
should enter u new conference free
from any previous connection with
European disputes. The feeling among
the Presidents advisers is that the
league of nations should be per-
petuated for the benefit of Europe,
but that its influence will always be
regional. while the calling of con-
ference as sequel to the Hague
conferences will be worldwide and
absolutely divorced from any par
terests. Mr.. Root has the idea that
movements for international CO.
operation are necessarily slow and
cannot proceed too rapidly, because
they depend for success on universal
agreement.
Orderly Process Seen.
Some critics of the league of nations
in the present administration contend
that it tried to accomplish too much.
Particular emphasis was laid therefore
today in administration quarters on the
language of Elihu Root when he sub
mitted to the Senate the Hague con-
vention Of 1907. He said:
THE most valuable result Of the con-
ference of 1899 was that 1t made the
work of the conference of 1907 possible.
The achievements of the two confer
ences justify the belief that the world
has entered upon an orderly process
through which. step by step. in success
sive conferences, each taking the work
of it's predecessor as a point of depart
toward making the practice of civilized
nations conform to their peaceful pro-
fessions.''
Anxious to Resume Task.
The President is represented as
anxious to take up the task of inter-
national cooperation where it was
broken in 1914. Now that Germany
has been disarmed no objection is an
ticipated from that quarter. Mr..
Harding wants Germany to be invited
to the next conference. The Presi-
dent feels, moreover. that when the
question of armament Is settled in
Washington the main obstacle to in
ternational cooperation will have
been removed. Secretary Hughes in
his opening address recalled pointed
ly the efforts of the Emperor of Rus
sia in connection with the first Hague
conference. But expecting success on
armament Limitation. the United
States government will take the lead
ership in bringing about not an inter-
national legislature with an upper
and lower house like the council and
the assembly of the league. but sim
ply international conferences which
shall be in the nature of "get to-
gether" meetings among the nations
of the earth.
