LONDON, June 15.-Dispatches from
America stating that President Har-
ding and Secretary Hughes are work
ing for an Anglo o-American under
standing, if not an alliance, were re-
ceived here to-day as pleasant sur
prise. That the Washington Admins
tration is taking the initiative through
approaches on the subject of disarma-
ment is highly pleasing to those in Of
fetal circles.
From time to time there has been
discussion of a union of English-speak
ing peoples for the maintenance of
peace in the world, but England is
hardly in a position to take the leading
part in the formation of such league.
That fact is strikingly apparent now,
when the question of renewal of the
Anglo-Japanese Treaty is about set
tied.
The most interesting reason for the
renewal of the treaty comes from a
high authority i'll the British Empire,
who says that the treaty has symbol
cal significance. and that to permit it
to lapse would be tantamount to pro-
claiming to Asiatics that Great Britain
desires to split the world along the
color line.
Of all the British dominions, India
alone has real sympathy for the policy
of maintaining the Anglo-Japanese al
nance, and, with India about to enjoy
statehood. the English arc extremely
fearful of any color distinctions.
Another reason why the English arc
chary in taking the initiative in NO
gotiations with America is the fear Of
damaging present relations, which are
none too strong at best.
The report from Washington that the
Harding Administration is basing its
foreign policy on an agreemaH. with
Great Britain is douhly surprising be-
cause hitherto the whole drift of Amer
lea has seemed to be away from Eu-
rope, and away from Great Britain in
particular.
If the policy OF the American I'd
ministration is accurately interpreted,
great variety OF subjects undoubted-
ly will be open for conference.
Previous dispatches have reported
the anxiety in London to placate
American opinion regarding the
Japanese alliance. There is the same
desire in regard to mandates, especial
ly the one for Mesopotamia.
The one special subject which Great
Britain would like to settle quickly is
the method of repaying its debts to
America. For months a commission
has been waiting to begin negotiations,
and for various reasons the conference
has been long delayed.

This. we think, is the way to prosper
a. cause believed to be Just and we
shall advance no other.
The world is settling down, but it
is not yet settled. The counsel of
power and expediency still dominate,
as the serious problems left by the
great war press for solution. This
country seeks not an acre of territory
by reason of its participation in the
struggle that led to victory, nor dc we
wish any exclusive advantages in the
possessions which, as result of the
We simply ask that we shall not be
excluded from equal privileges where
ever our interests are affected That
seems to us 10 be reasonable posi-
ton.
This is time when it is vastly impor-
tant that the principle OF equal oppor-
tunity for legitimate enterprise should
be maintained in order that in the de-
velopment Of natural resources es-
sent1al to the progress and security OF
nations there should be fair and
milton of this principle will offer the
basis of that genuine cooperation of
which We delight to speak, and will
diminish the occasions for misunder-
standing and antagonism. 1t is be-
lieved that international agreements
may we'll be made which will assure
complete reciprocity with respect to
opportunity in The developm ent of nat
ural resources throughout the world.
Il believe that our people are thor
oughly determined that we shall safe
guard our future by reservng inde-
pendence of action in such exigencies
as may arise according to our concep-
ton of duty at the time. They are
not disposed TO put their liberty in
pawn. Nor is it desirable that our
helpful influence should be frittered
away by relating ourselves unneces-
sarily to political questions which in
Volve rivalries of interest abroad with
which we have no proper concern, 1t

Of the world.
1T would be impossible to view with
indifference arrangements which would
deny TO our people equality of economic
opportunity or agreements involving
what we believed to be an unjust dis
elimination against US. 1t must not
be forgotten that the prosperity of the
United States largely depends upon the
economic settlement which may be
made In Europe, and the key to the
future is with those who make and
control these settlements.
we desire to see conditions stabil-
ized and renewal Of the productivity
which depends upon security of life

basis for the helpful intercourse of

pro,priate institutions, of accepted prin-

WASHINGTON, June 49, - Senators
Lodge, Of Massachusetts,. the Republi-
can leader. and Willis, of Ohio, who
nominated President Harding at Chi
cago, are on the warpath over some Of
the recent appointments made by the
President.
Senator Lodge has expressed open
dissatisfaction with the nomination of
Professor julius Klein, of Harvard TN
iversity. to be Director of the Burenu
oF Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
and at his request the Senate Com
merce Committee deferred action to-
day on the nomination until tomorrow,
when an executive hearing is expected.
Professor Klein was chosen by Secre-
tary Hoover, and it was reported to-day
that the President had sent the nomi-
natlcn to the Senate without consulting
the Republican leader.
Senator Willis is continuing his op-
II. Nauts, Of Toledo. to be Collector Of
Internal Revenue for the 10th Ohio
District. Both he and Senator Lodge
were White House callers to day, but
neither of them saw the President. On
leaving the White House Senator vii
lis declared he would oppose Mr.. Nauts
to the end.
Inc ChlO senator inquired TODAY
how confirmation OF Mr.. Nauts might
be blocked. and was informed that if
he regarded Mr.. Nauts as "personally
Objectionable" the Senate would fol-
low a time-honored custom Of refusing
confirmation. Senator Willis has filed
a memorandum against Mr. Nauts with
the Senate Finance Committee, whico
expects to take UP the case Monday.

Conferees Disagree ON Army
Bill; Seek New Instructions

tion and Secretary of War Weeks, who
was before the conferees this after
noon. is opposed to it.
Secretary Weeks told the conferees
he would not accept responsibility for
what might happen to the army under
the House plan.
House conferees offered to COM
promise on 10000 as the minimum,
provided the army was reduced to that
in three months
This is Objectionable to the Senate
conferees and to Secretary Weeks
because it would mean cutting down
the army by 10000 in three months
and would make necessary discharges
of many men before the end of their
enlistment terms, even though they
wanted to remain. In other words, it
was asserted that it would mean gov
ernment violation of it's contract.
The hral upshot was disagreement,
and the House Will vote first on the
instruction of its confe?ees. The sit
uation is said to be close as to whether
the House will vote TO accept the SEN
ate proposition or vote to direct its
conferees to stand to their guns.

WASHINGTON, June 15.--Indica-
tions of an early agreement between
the House and Senate on the peace
resolution became more pronounced
to-day. There was less talk of a long
deadlock between the two houses.
although 1t is recognized as still a
possibility.
In case of long deadlock P,neidan n t
Harding would be advised by i,cnate
i'.aacfs on the Foreign Rotations Com
mittee to proclaim state OF peace,
that he has the constitutional authority
to do this and that if there is any pos
sible doubt on the subject his procla-
nation can be followed by Congress
sioral action indorsing the Executive
acton.
While Senate leaders have thought
tier way through the situation which
Will require solution if there is dead

to-day was optimistic and to the effect
there was good reason to believe \
deadlock would be avoided The Sen
ate resolution repeals the declaration

lutloh recognizes existence of a state
OF peace. sharp difference in legal
sense exists, inasmuch as it is as
serted that Congress- clearly has the
right to repeal one of its acts. but to
recognize state of peace is in the
nature of an Executive action.
