Before an audience contain
ing many members Of Con-
gress, Georges olsmenosau, war
premier Of France, yesterday
urged the calling Of another
Warrington conference to ef-
feet world peace, based upon
the following paragraph of
President Harding's message:
"The four-power pact, which
abolshes every possibility Of
war on the Pacific, has brought
new confidence in q maintain
ed peace, and / can well be-
heve it might be made Q model
for like assurance wherever in
the world any common inter
ests are concerned"
He demonstrated his agility on
the international tight rope near
the end OF his speech by declaring
that. on the other hand, the League
Of Nations had helped matters In
Siberia and might be worth re-
consideration by America.
The statesman's Enforcement OF
both OF the widely differing con-
cepts of President Harding and
former President Wilson left his
hearers with the conclusion that he
favors any sort Of international
pact which viii unite America,
England and France.
SUGGESTION SURPRIE.

United States might try the league

A GENTLEMAN, now fretting
"A a little hour upon the di-
vorce stage, wrote to his second
wife, There is something about
motherhood that is almost an
tagonistic to romantic love-"
That's old. When little pigs
are born it is necessary to re-
move the father pig from the
son. He also considers such an
event "antagonistic to romantic
love" and unless removed he will
eat up the little pigs. A mans
objection to "unromantic" moth
er love diminishes as he gets
farther away from the mental
attitude of the gentleman pig.
Some men are not far from that
attitude.

 While the conference a Is badly strained by Ismet Pashs's flat refusal to consider the allied plans for tine consideration of the affairs of minori- ties in Turkey, there are many pri- vate conferences going on and the i'm dieations are that some compromise plan may be worked out whereby the Turks will he accorded such largo voice in handling of the minorities problems that they will not regard the cooperation of representatives of the great powers in this work as an infringement of Turkeys sovereignty.
