AMERICA FR0WNS
ON PRELIMINARY
PEACE SESSIONS
Fear That fractional Disarma-
ment Meetings Will De-
feat Real Purpose

Washington, D. c., July 29.-(By The
Associated Press)-Proposals for pre-
liminary meetings of the representa-
tives Of all the powers and any separ-
ate group OF them prior to the dis
armament conference are receiving no
encouragement from the American
government
Altho officials decliued to comment
formally, it is the apparent belief here
that all of the various schemes sug-
gested for preliminary sessions are i'm
practicable and might lead to defeat
of the purposes of the conference it
self This feeling is understood to ap-
ply with particular force to any pro-
posal that certain questions be taken
up beforehand in separate conferences,
where only certain .nembers of the
main conference are represented. It
would have the undesirable result of
creating groups within the main group,
but might open such avenues of dis
cussion, that 1t would leave the par
Elephants further from a solution than
they were in the beginning.
No details of the negotiations have
been revealed but it is generally under
stood that Great Britain ia urging such
a conference and this country is hold
ing out against It. 1t also is under
stood that this government holds to its
original suggestion that the conference
assemble here on Arnistice day, No
vcmber IL, tho some of the other in
vited nations. have urged that a later
date Re selected
Meantime officials are working
steadily in the preparation of details.
It is said no actual choice OF the per
sonnet of the American delegation has
vet been made. II is expected gen
orally however that the president him
self will not sit at the conference but
that Secretary Hughes, will act as
head of the American delegates. It
has been intimated Aat serious con-
eideration might he given to sueges-
tons that at least one of the places on
the delegation go to a woman.
