HARDING WILL SET

nomic structure of Europe will result
in the continuation of the demoralized
conditions that expose world business
to even greater dangers than now
exist.
Business interests Of the United
States are held to be vitality and ad-
versely affected by European condi-
tions Agriculture and every line OF
trade now suffering from depressions
are seeking outlets for their products.
Persons who favor participation say
the proper markets will remain closed
to American commerce until economic
conditions in Europe are stabilized
through some such undertaking as
the Genoa conference.
American business men have pre-
sented these arguments through the
newspapers and spokesman who have
urged the President to accept the Ital-
ian invitation.
Farm Conference's Action.
Senators and members Of Congress
who are opposed to foreign alliances
Of a political or military character
make sharp distinction between alli-
ances and the economic cooperation
involved. in the Italian enterprise. I'M
piled Endorsement of the Genoa con-
ference was indicated in the resolution
adopted by the farmers conference,
which urged this Government to ex-
terd aid to Europe for economic re-
Mobilization. Many Of the most i'm
portant newspapers throughout the
civ VIE
of the Genoa project.
In official circles much Importance
is attached to the report which Mr..
Harvey, the American Ambassador at
the Court Of st. James's. has made to
this Government regarding the cir
cumstances of the decision at Cannes
to hold the economic conference. Mr..
Harvey's report has not been made
public. but the impression prevails that
he regards the conference with favor
and Is not alarmed over the possible
danger of his country being involved
in European political disputes.
Secretary Hughes indicated his dis
belief to-day in the statement origi-
mating at Paris that Ambassador Har-
vey consulted Premier Poincare re-
garding the conference. Mr.. Harvey
was sent to Cannes from London to
look on and report to his Government
tie result of his observations and con-
clusions. but was not instructed to
confer with the French Premier. Such
a mission would be intrusted to Mr..
Herrick. the American Ambassador at
Paris.
How soon the President will an
nounce his decision Is a matter of con-
lecture. 1t may be next week, and It
may not be for month. But on one
point both diplomatic and official
opinions are in complete concurrence.
There exists positive belief that IL the
President decides to accept the invi-
tation he will stipulate the conditions
under which this country will send
representatives. He will make 1t abb
solutely clear that the American rep
resentatives will not be empowered to
commit 1t to the support OF any
projects of a political character OF
those growing out of purely national
disputes in which this country Is de-
termined not to be involved.
II the President finally decides to
decline the Italian invitation there is
the fullest confidence that he will
frankly set forth the reasons that in

NAVY ON NEW BASIS
Conference Plan Enables U. s.
to Build Force Equal to-
British.
BY eraser ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

BY eraser SCHORNSTHEIMER
Special Dispatch to THE New York HEaALD.
New York Herald Burean.
Washington. ID. c., Jan. 27. !
AS result Of the Conference for
Limitation OF Armament the United
States for the first time in its history
has announced q definite naval policy.
The ablest available men of the
United States have formulated this
policy and have determined what they
consider the minimum force necessary
The establishment Of the exact force
was based first on the policy and then
tn materiel available for translation
of that policy into a practical fact.
Another point Is that the great Powers
OF the world have accepted the policy
that the United States Navy should be
equal to the largest force In the world
and that it should be 40 per cent. more
powerful than the navy next below It
in material strength.
1t lies with Congress to carry out this
policy to the very letter with lirni-
tation Of International ornaments. or
without. The conference brought to
light the comparative weakness of the
United States Navy in many directions
and 1t provided that these weaknesses
should be remedied. Because of this
building up of our navy in materiel to
the place given us under the terms of
the naval agreement.
Under the terms of the coming naval
treaty the United States will retain
thoroughly efficient battleships and de-
stroyer forces together with very good
auxiliary forces. but that is all. Our
cruiser forces are far from the point
allowed in the naval treaty. Japan
and England both exceed our totals in
modern cruisers, both in number and
tonnage. The same thing Is true in re-
spect to flotilla leaders for destroyers
and In regard to aircraft carriers.
While 1t no longer will be necessary to
lay down four or more large capital
ships each year to maintain our strength
we are permitted to build up and round
out our one sided navy during the naval
holiday. In other words the terms Of
the treaty allow us to take our place
with England while the other nations
are forced to stop construction.
Congress will be able to appropriate
for two $4,000 ton aircraft carriers, ten
10000 ton cruisers and twenty flotilla
leaders as soon as the treaty Is agreed
upon and ready for signing. Naval Of
ficers are not Of the opinion that Il IL
necessary Immediately to build up to
the position allowed. as at present there
is no threat Of war. We should, how
ever. build up to our strength within
eight years.
The total cost of building up the navy
to its proportionate efficiency should not
exceed the cost OF five capital ships, or
$3.50. 100000. This. II is to be seen. is
not great sum to spend on naval con-
struction during ten years At the end
OF the ten year holiday. II such a plan
is carried out. the United States will he
on an equal footing with Great Britain,
will have a 40 per cent. advantage over
Japan and will be ready to face the re-
placement period on a sound basis.

American prestige in China. which was
strained by the Versailles settlement
