proposed Washington conference OF

The Premier was quoted as saying {
an intimate:
L almost wish I had never suggest
ed a conference"
Lloyd Georges statement is explain
cd by the fact that while the public
invitation to The Powers came from
President Harding, it is generally un-
dorstood that Great Britain strongly
urged the United states 10 take the in
itiative in calling the international
meeting.
The Premier intensely wishes the
conference. to be held and also he
Nishessto participate personally. Apart
from sincerely believing that disarm
ament is possible. he realizes that It
would be the biggest personal triumph
he has ever achieved and would assure
him an unlimited term of power.

up TO George Harvey, the American
Ambassador. No response has yet ar
rived from Washington and Lloyd
George is beginning to fear that there
is no chance for preliminary confer
ence in London
. Premier Lloyd George realizes
ii is useless for him 10 go to the Unit
ed states unless there is an Irish set
tIement in the meantime. He Is be-
coming slightly pessimistic on account
Of the attitude of Ulster in the Irish
negotiations.
s.-Leaders Of the Coalition party re-
sent the possible absence Of Lloyd
George from England, fearing that
Austen Chamberlain would be unable
TO hold the Coalition party together
in his absence.
These three factors are telling heav-
ily against LLOYD Georges personal de-
sires and doubt is expressed as t.
whether he can overcome them
The London Times understands that
the Dominion Premiers have received
from Washington reply to their
query as to whether they may have
representation at the conference. but
no hazard was made as to the contents:
In connection with Premier Lloyd
