surances that the United States will not
take the initiative In the international eco

pected TO follow closely the disarmament
conference were received today from the
White House by Senate leaders.
President Harding is opposed unaIter-

stated authoritatiyely.
If Lloyd George were to summon a
world economic and financial conference
1t would cause no surprise in official
circles, but the President is understood
to share the opinion Of Senate leaders If
the British government wishes to con-
yene such a conference II would not be
necessary for the American Government
to take an active, or an official part.
The American Government might be
represented at such conference by an "un-

that it has an unofficial spokesman pvNs-
