WARM WELCOME
FOR WALLACE
BYI.CAMBON
Return Of America To Allied
Council Occasion OF
Much Elation


PARIS, May 9-American repre-
sentation in the allied conference
was resumed today when Huge c.
Wallace, the American Ambassador
took his seat at a session of the
council of ambassadors here. He re-
ceived instructions last night from
Secretary of State Hughes to repre-
sent the United States at ambassa-
dorial conferences.
The American ambassadors ap-
pearance at the foreign office, where
the council met today, was an oc-
casion of warm expression of ap-
probation on the part of Jules Cam
bon of France, president of the
council, and other members of the
body. Wallace. was given a seat at
Cambon's rigt The problems of ST.
lesia were the subject of the coun-
cil's deliberations today.
Roland w. Boyden, who formerly
sat with the allied reparations com
mission, has been instructed to re-
sumo his seat in that body.
Acceptance by the United States
Of the invitation to have representa-
tion on the councils dealing with
world economic settlements is regard
ed by some diplomats here as
strengthening the hand of the allies
in their dealings with Germany. They
also look upon it as having cleared
away much of any doubt that may
have existed as to the attitude of the
United States.
President Harding in his message.
to Premier Lloyd George Of Great
Britain accepting the invitation, has
made it clear. these diplomats say,
that the administration, while re
stating it's determination TO abstain
from participation In purely EuroS
pean affairs, proposes that the Unit
ed States lend its counsel and aid in
effecting the adjustments growing
out of the victory over the former
central powers.
The presence of American repre-
sentatives on the supreme council.
the conference of ambassadors and
the reparatiors commission. they be-
lieve, will facilitate the settlements.
and at the same time. aid in clearing
awav arv Misunderstanding which
have arisen between the United
States and the allies with regard to
some of the sttlements, such as man.
dates.
As these diplomats view it the sit
uation is clearer than it has been at
any time since the senate failed to
ratify the treaty of Versailles.
The alliei governments are known
to have taken the position that an
attitude If extreme aloofness by the
United States would give encour
agement to Germany in resisting the
demands made upon hnr Thev also
are understood 10 have he'd that th~
mere refusal IF the United States
Co transmit Germany's counter pro-
rosals IF ren~ra.icns did not uuitc
meet the situation that had arisen.
