Three fundamental proposals

proper follow up, and the use Of

Representation Will Be
Unofficial However and

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81. - The
United States, while holding strictly
aloof from the political squabbles
and intrigues that have brought
Europe to the verge of another war,
probably will be represented al the
Near East peace conference soon TO
be held in Rome or Venice. It was
said today in official quarters.
The a meri ca n representation.
however, would be confined solely
to an unofficial observer" who
would take no direct part in the
conference itself, nor have any pow
er of commitment in behalf of the
American government. Such obser-
walton would be maintained entire
~ for the information and guidance
of this government, and would be
conducted along the lines followed
by the American observer 81 the
Genoa economic conference last
March.
Definite action IN this respect
probably will await the return to
Washington Of Secretary Of State
Hughes, now enroute from So1th
America.
The conference is held in Rome
or Venice, as indicated in London
dispatches It is not improbable
that Richard Washburn Child. the
American ambassador to Italy, win
