Washington-The hope of Amer.

ened when France informed the State
department that she would send her

of her delegation Of diplomatists.
The decision is expected here to be

of the other powers, investing the

Congress Asked for 100000.
Meantime the Administrations pre-
paration of it's own part in the con-
ference was advanced by a request
of 100000 as an initial budget to pay
expenses of the American representa-
tives and of secretariat general.
The sum fixed in the request and
the data accompanying it apparently
disposed of any expectation that this
government would pay expenses of
any of the visiting delegations, for
Congress was informed specifically
that the money was to be used for
the American delegation and for the
secretariat general alone. It was in
Dictated that later appropriation
would be asked should the printing
bill exceed present expectations or
should the conference last more than
two months.
In making the request President
Harding merely transmitted with his
approval a letter written by Under
Secretary Fletcher of the State de-
partment, who has been placed in
charge of physical arrangements for
the conference and who prepared his
estimates after a conference with
Director General Dawes of the Budget
bureau.
News Arouses Satisfaction.
News that the French premier would
attend thu Conference was received
with manifest satisfaction here, for
there has been general expectation
that should one Of the powers decide
to send it's premier the others would
do likewise in the interest of fair rep
resentation.
Not only will the presence Of the
foreign premiers here add greatly to
the weight of the deliberations, but
it is expected also to be a consider
