Washington, May 4.-Decision as
to American representation on the
allied supreme council and the re-
parations commission was held in
obeyance today pending receipt Of
the invitation from the allied gov
ernments.
p, Before discussing the question in
any way state department officers
preferred to wait the official text as
the extent of the desired American
participation in the whole reparation
controversy has not yet been clear.
In some administration quarters
today expression was given to a
doubt that the United States would
consent to formal representation on
the supreme council but it was sug-
gested that it was possible that an
unofficial observer would be named
to sit in at the sessions.
1t was pointed out that the Unit
ed States was virtually interested in
the reparations settlement and it
was said the government desired to
get all possible information as to the
successive steps undertaken or con-
templated. An unofficial observer
would be able to keep. the admins
tration fully and promptly informed.
This course was followed for time
with respect to the conference of am
bassadors.

SEN. LADD DEFENDS
LEAGUE in MAIDEN
SPEECH in SENATE

Washington, May 2-Senator Ladd
Of North Dakota defended the Non
Partisan League in his maiden
speech in the senate today.
1.-The farmers of North Dakota"
he said "are neither free lovers boil
shevilli or socialists. and they have
not attempted to go beyond their
just rights, nor have they attempt
ed to destroy property rights.
"The people of North Dakota are
carrying out a great experiment in
industrial democracy, and if they
succeed in the work which they
have thus far carried on so success
fully in the face Of many daunting
difficulties, their example is certain
to be followed by the sovereign peo-
pie of other commonwealths who are
groaning under oppression Of the
same industrial despots."
Taft's Statement
New. York. May 2--Respect for
representative government is lower
today than it was q century ago any
where in the world, William Howard
Taft told an audience in Town hall
last night, in the opening lecture of
the James Stokes lectureslip on Pol
icies of New York university
zone hundred years ago." he said
"a representative form Of govern
ment was looked upon as means Of
escaping from an absolute monarchy
with all it's ills ,and from an oligar-
chy with its defects. The great goal
then was personal liberty and equal
ity before the law, and these it was
thot representative government
would secure.
Now" the former president ad-
ded, there has come into the minds
of many a desire not for liberty and
equality Of opportunity, but a de-
mand for equality Of condition"
Mr.. Taft asserted the socialist par
ty is seeking to create a class war
and he denounced the dangerous dis
position manisfested within recent
years in organized labor to threat
en- general strike.
He said the Nonpartisan league, q
combination of farmers originating
in North Dakota. is not a patriotic A
merican party and declared that the
