ficals today scoffed at the view ex-

France that President Harding's proposed

step in the creation of an association of

1t was pointed out that President Hard

disarmament and far east problems re-
ceved the hearty Endorsement Of the
dominion premiers who are the strongest
adherents Of the League Of Nations
Lord Robert Cecil, chief exponent Of

Premier Meighen Of Canada, in an in

premier was quoted as saying:
ITO a distracted world the message
offers new hope and promise Of relief.
Nowhere is President Hardiug's proposi-
tlon welcomed more eagerly than in
Canada. ! hope it win be thoroughly
successful in bringing nearer the time
when wars will cease entirely"
Suggestions are being made that there
should be a preliminary conference to
discuss the technical aspects, thus short
tning the work Of the real international
conference when it meets in Washington.
1t is believed that, if President Hard
ing's proposition is successful, the dis
armament and Far East conference win
be convoked at Washington about the
