me American delegation has
given practically no consideration
toseoncrets plans for the Limitation
OF land armament Inasmuch as
thee United States already has re-
dncAd its army to the basis required
for police purposes only, this Is a
question: of less concern to Ameri-
ca. There is a prevalent opinion
that an agreement on Limitation OF
land armament Is unlikely to be
evolved by the conference.
The conference will assemble for
the first time at 1880 a. m. Sat
urday, November II. in the Hall or
the Daughters OF the American Rev
olution. 1t will be called to order
by Secretary Hughes and will be
welcomed by President Harding in an
address which will strike the Key
note Of the American attitude toward
war. world peace and reduction OF
ornaments. Organization Of the body
probably will be deferred until Mon
day. when Mr.. Hughes will be elect
ed president Of the conference. and
the heads Of other delegations vice
presidents.
Lloyd George Expected Later.
The report that Premier Lloyd
George NAV not be able to attend
the opening of the conference on
limitation of ornaments was disap-
pointing. but not depressing. news
TO this government. as the State De-
partment was aware of developments
in British affairs which might post
pone the prime ministers visit to
Washington.
1t is confidently expected that Lloyd
George will come to washington
later. possibly the end Of November.
If the work Of the conference gets
well under way by that time. or after
the Christmas holidays il difficulties
are met with in the conference which
retard its progress. and il these diff
ficulties should bring the conference
to a deadlock. some diplomatic COM
rnentstors believe that the British
prime minister will appear on tne
scene at the right moment to throw
the weight of his personal prestige
and his skill as a mediator into the
conference to effect an agreement.
Accent British Assurances.
The formal statement issued In
New York by Lord Lee of Fareham.
first lord Of the British admiralty.
T. accepted at its face value here
as rejecting the spirit with which
the British delegation will enter the
1t Is taken to indicate
that as regards fundamentals, the
British governments views are In
entire consonance with those Of Pres
fdent Harding. and that, so far as
Great Britain Is concerned, there re-
mains only to be worked out the
practical application OF principles
whose definitions in their largest a.
poets have been given alike by both
the American and British govern
ments.
Involves Golden Rule.
America as well as all other ma
tions must accept or reject the
golden rule at the Limitation of
arms conference. according to NJ.
