UNDUE OPTIMISM
ABSENT IN PARIS
French Interested, But Want
to See Real Results by
Conference.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 12.-Interest, but
not undue optimism, marks the
French attitude toward the armament
conference, as evinced by the edi-
torial comment in the morning news
papers.
viii the Washington conference,
which opens today, really begin new
era, as some of our American friends
Think" asks the Figaro. After our
painful experience of the last three
years we are not free to give our
selves up to rose-colored illusions"
Aptly summing up the French view
point toward the conference, Jacques
Banville, eminent writer on inter-
national history, remarks. There
have been many disarmament con-
ferences, the results of which have
not always answered the hopes of
their promoters, but perhaps the con-
ference called by President Harding
in Washington will be more fortunate,
because it is based not only on good
intention, but on positive data"
NJ. Saint Brice, in the Journal, says
he believes the conference may les
sen the shocks of warning interests,
attenuate urging passions and gain
time. If it confines itself wisely to
these aims it will do useful work,
but if 1t aims higher it will meet
unfailing punishment for the sin of
pride"

so many words. However, in his dis
cussion of the spirit of the confer
ence and hope with which 1t Is re-
garded, the President said: ut is but
just to recognize varying needs ana
peculiar positions. Nothing can be
accomplished in disregard of ma
tional apprehensions. Rather. we
should act together to remove the
causes of apprehensiOns. This Is not
TO be done in intrigue. Greater as
surance is found in the exchange OF
simple honesty and directness among
men resolved to accomplish as pc
comes leaders among nations, when
civilization itself has come to its
crucial test.
Futility Of Passions Sway.
Three years of approximate peace,
with no lessening of the tax burden,
but mounting expenditures for future
wars, it may be inferred from the re-
marks of the President. have brought
home to the peoples of the world the
utter futility of passions sway when
reason and conscience and fellowship
point a nobler way"
In all that he said the President
avoided any attempt to dictate to- the
of the administration from the start
of the negotiations for the limitation
of armament conference, that the
United States was undertaking merely
to bring the nations together for a full
and free conference. believing that
they were vitality interested in arriv-
ing at some solution of the problem.
HarbOrs No Fears.
The President did set forth in un-
terms, however, the atti-
tude of the United States. He said:
1.-The United States welcomes you with
unselfish hands We harbor no fears;
we have no sordid ends to serve; we
suspect no enemy: we contemplate or
apprehend no conquest. Content with
what we have. We seek nothing which
is another's. We only wish to do with
you that finer, nobler thing which no
nation can do alone" And later, he
said: Il can speak officially only for
our United States. Our hundred mil
lions frankly want less of armament
and none of war"

LONDON. November 12.-Interest
in the opening of the Washington
conference on Limitation of armament
and far eastern questions is attested
by the great amount of space de-
voted to it in this mornings news
papers, which make it feature in
their news columns. Most of them
give first place to it on the editorial
pages under such headlines as "The
Dawn of Hope" The Worlds Hope
Is Fixed on Washington" ann "All Ma
tions Are Anxious for Success at
Washington"
Some of the journals in their COM
ments on the conference Intervene
references tc President Harding's
oration~ at Arlington cemetery over
the body of Americas unknown SOL
dier. The Times in this respect says
that President Harding gave a great
lead when he spoke of the liberation
of the captive conscience of the
world. Much depends upon
the leadership. and we rejoice to see
many hopeful indications that the
ence earnestly aim at translating
the highest aspirations Of our
troubled times into the solid sub
stance of the life we have to live"
Fitted by Character.
The Morning Telegraph says: "For-
tunately President Harding is ad-
mirably fitted by character, mental
gifts sandsexperience to grace worthily
the historic occasion. This confer
ence, as the British premier suggest
ed, is the new worlds opportunity.
and in grasping it promptly Presi-
dent Harding has raised the moral
status of the United States as great
power, and has conferred a new dig
nifty upon his fellow countrymen."
In the general chorus of good
wishes for the conference the cynical
note is not lacking. The Daily Herald,
the socialist organ, in bitter ed
itorial. SCOTS at the entire confer
ence idea, and arraigns the motives
of the participating nations. The
conference, says the newspaper. may
settle the partition of China among
the bandits Of international exploita-
tion," and declares that the abolition
of war is a revolutionary task which
can only be perfected by men who
believe in revolution.
