of the leading figures in British Of
ficial life will be present. Among
those mentioned as delegates are A
j. Balfour lord president of the coun-
Gil: Lord Lee OF Fareham, first lord
of the admiralty: Sir Laming Worth

war: Admiral Lord Beatty, and Wis
count Grey.
Advices from Paris state that the
commission for reduction Of arma-
ments appointed by the League of
Nations will probably hold only brief
session in that city on Saturday.
Rene Niviani, president of the com
mossion, is understood to favor an
immediate adjournment. although such
action would be upon the initiative OF

1t seems probable. however, that
President Harding's proposal for d
conference on steps toward disarn1a-

pleased IL the conference should result

No other nations outside Of the
principal allied and associated Powers

ly stated that although Russia Is a
Pacific Power she will not be asked

The future policy Of the United
States with government and fortif1ca-
ton Of the Philippine Islands and
other American possessions IN the
Pacific will be largely determined by
the result of this conference.
The first object of the conference
will be TO ask unanimous agreements
upon broad principals. so that future
trouble may be avoided. The specific
details win be adjusted later in sepa-
rate treaties.
The negotiation by the United States
of a permanent peace treaty with
Germany win not necessarily await the
outcome Of the conference. but il may
conccivably be delayed pending de-
Velopmcnt Of the attitude Of the allied
Powers.
