WASHINGTON. Aug. $40 meeting
Of Statesmen IN Europe since tue dis
banding o. the peace conference has been
90 fraught with nOmeutous possibilities
as to world peace as that OF the allied
premlers In Paris today, according 10
high officials Of the Administration.
The presence OF Col. George Harvey,
American ambassador to Great Britain,
as the personal representative OF PTesi-
dert Harding. WI insure this govern
ment OF an insight into the real situ '-
tion abroad situation which may e15-
iIy result "a the breaking OF Of the
Anglo french ertente and -ealign-
ically
The expectation prevails In Washington
that four possibly FIVE. major problems
will occupy the attention Of the supreme
Council. These are the Upper Sliesian
situation the Turco- Grecian war. Rus
sian relief and strian relief. The fifth
possibility is that Of mandates growing
out OF the World War in all Of these,
but the arst two. the United states is di-
rectly interested md Colonel Harvey will
speak the policy of the administration.
Mandates are not on the agenda. but It
would occasion ~ surprise in Washing
Ton If they are touched upon.
The real extent TO which Colonel Har-
vey viii participate In the discussions re-
manned undisclosed In Washington to-
day.
Ostensibly Colonel Harvey's fnstruc-
tions are 20 SPEAK for the CnlCed States
N only those questions directly AFFECT
ing the United States, which do not In
Guide either Silesia or the Turco- Grecia
gar, but Il things reach an fmpasse on
these two matters il IS easily cOnceiv-
able that Colonel Harvey may speak
the mind Of the United States.
In famine stricken Russia and impov-
erished Austria the United States has a
real interest. The Russian situation af-
fects the entire world and Colonel EaF-
vcy is believed 10 be under instructions to
proffer the cooperation Of the United
States with other countries for condi-
tional aid TO that stricken country.
The Austrian question may see q sharp
division between the United States and
the rest Of the powers Austria Is in
debted to the United States 70 the extent
Of some s22.000,00O. for which the United
States has what amounts to first mort
gage" on Austria
The allied powers have indicated that
they are willing TO undertake further
Austrian credits II this American lien is
discounted and their advances converted
into Austrian obligations Of first class.
It Is not believed the United States will
accede to any such proposition and that
Colonel Harvey win SO inform the
powers when the matter is taken up.
