While no official expression of
opinion is to be had from members
of the administration as to Senator
Borah's proposal for an international
economic conference. to be called by
the President Of the United States.
there is in high administration circles
a noticeable lack of enthusiasm for
the project. Men in the confidence
Of the President express inability to
see assurances Of good results from
such a gathering. and they are able
to see where a great deal of harm
might be done.
There is a disposition to regard an
international conference Of the kind
suggested as very much in the nature
of an international poker game.
While poker may be the great Ameri-
can indoor sport. the trouble with
the game proposed is that Uncle Sam.
figuratively speaking. would be put
ting in real money with only l. Q. u 8
in prospect in exchange for any chips
he might have left at the games end.
The European nations. Of course.
would welcome chance to play what
they haven't got against what Uncle
Sam possesses. but there is difficulty
here in understanding why the United
States should be expected to particf-
pate in play of that sort.
Europe Urges Conference.
Almost constant suggestions from
Eurona for an international eco
nomic conference have had frequent
echoes on this side Of the Atlantic.
