Washington, Sept. 21.-The United
States, while holding strictly aIoof
from the political squabbles and in
trigues that have brought Europe to
the verge of another war, probably
peace conference to be held soon in
Rome or Venice, it was reported in
official quarters.
Representation, however, would be
confined solely to an "unofficial OBJ
server" who would take no direct
part in the conference itself, nor have
any power of commitment in behalr
of the American government. Such
observation would be maintained en-
tirely for the information and guild
ance of this government and would
be conducted along the lines followed
by the American observers at the
Genoa economic conference last
March.
Wait on Hughes.
Definite action in this respect prob
ably will await the return to Washing
ton of Secretary of State Hughes, now
en- route from South America.
The conference is to be held in
Rome or eVnice. As indicated in
London dispatches, it is not improb-
able that Richard Washburn Child,
American ambassador to Italy will be
designated. He was the unofficial
observer at Genoa and was said to-
day to be familiar with the policy
of the United States IN these politico :
economic squabbles in Europe.
1t was also suggested today General
Peyton G. March, whu mas been tour
ing the world since his retirement as
chief of staff of the army a few
months ago, might act in advisory ca
pacity. Mr.. March is now in Lon
