Washington. Oct. Formulate,

American delegation at he confer
ence On Limitation OF Armaments and
Far Eastern and Pacific questions was
begun today when the four delegates
selected by President Harding 10 rep
resent the United States held their
iirst meeting 1t the State Depart
ment.
Diplomatic, military and naval data
OF specific nature already had been
compiled for the guidance Of the dele
CATION, but the real task OF fitting tho
whole mass of information together
and building upon it constructive
program remained 20 be done by ths
delegates themselves In the long
series of meetings that will precede
the opening Of the conference on
November II.
Today's fteefing was designed to co
no more than scratch the surface Of
the problem ahead Of the American
representatives. It was called by
Secretary Hughes head Of the delega-
ton, to permit Of "A preliminary sur
vey Of the situation and of a general
outline Of things to be done.
President Harding had communi-
Gated his ideas through Mr.. Hughee
and memoranda were available cover
Ing various points Of technical fnfor-
nation, but personal interviews with
the fresdent and with military and
naval experts were part Of the delo-
cations plan during It's period OF prep
aration.
Some hint OF the President'a homes
FOR the armament conference wore
given as the delegates were assem-
bling by publication OF letter Mr..
Harding had written IN reply to a.
prayer that he work for universal
disarmament"
Absolute disarmament, the Presi-
dent wrote, was beyond hope Of
realization" and perhaps not even de-
sirable, but a reasonable Limitation"
OF armament was a practical PROPOSE
ton with some hope of accomplish
ment.
Similar sentiments have been ex-
pressed generally by military and
naval authorities who have concerned
1iehlstANeS win preparation OF the
data that was before todays meet
ing. 1t is understood that the first
consideration OF those familiar with
the international situation has been
rather a reasonable limitation" OF
future armament construction than L
scaling down OF present strength. The
latter it - pointed out, could well be
considered after a building program
for the future had been agreed upon.
Although today's meeting was the
first at which all the American dele
gates have been present since their
selection, all OF them have talked over
the coming negotiations with Presi-
dent Harding.
Secretary Hughes ard Senator
Lodge both have had repeated con
ferences with Mr.. Harding on the sub
1ect and both Elihu Root and Sem
ator Underwood called at the White
House and We're acquainted with the
Presidents views before accepting
