minication from American Ambassa
dor Child reporting that the United
States government had been invited TO
participate in the newly planned eco
nomic conference at The Hague, was
received to-day at the state depart
ment. but officials indicated that no
immediate decision regarding il would
be reached.
Until they had an opportunity TO
study the proposal in detail officials
would make no comment regarding IL.
The general impression given by them
was that the question probably would
be discussed at to-morrow's cabinet
meeting and that some action might
follow.
At the state department pains we're
taken TO emphasize that the invita-
tion wfs surprise. officials declaring
that the Washington government not
only had not suggested but was unin-
formed regarding the plan until TO-
day.
The communication from Ambasss-
dor Child was said to be only an ad-
vance summary OF the official text of
the invitation.
in their references to The Hagle
conference, officials would not indicate
in what degree they considered nc
ease analogous to the Genoa ncgotis-
iions, into which the United States
refused 90 enter. II was assumed that
President Harding and his advisors
would adopt a similar policy of non
participation should the new confer
cnce appear to be merely reproduc-
tion OF that AT Genoa On the othlr
hand information received here in press
dispatches has indicated that stipn-
