~ LONDON, Dec. 7.-American is
expected to dominate the conference
OF Allied Premiers here next Sat
urday IN much the same manner as
the United States made it's voice
heard at Lausanne, according TO be-
|. lief in British official circles.
Ambassador Harvey's speech at
tn Lyceum Club. Monday night. in
which he declared the fate OF Eu-
rope hung upon the forthcoming
weekend conference, was made
quately reported, and the diplomats
here are just beginning to discuss
IL.
Considerable Importance in this
connection Is attached TO arrival
here OF United States Ministers TO
Brussels and Berlin.
~ Information is passed on fram
official quarters TO the effect that
Harvey, preparing his speech for
Monday night, intended to speak on
some .nnocuous subject but changed
his plans at the last minute pre-
aumably upon information or in
structions from Washington.
Additional significance IS lent the
participation Of an American OBJ
server at the Premier's parley by
he fact that Raymond Poincare,
urine minister of France. IS now ex-
pected TO try to exclude the question
OF reparations from the London dis
>eussions, hoping thereby to force a.
financial conference from Brussels.
81 Referring 10 the Brussels project
Ambassador Harvey said:
II the Premiers themselves are
unable 10 agree, it's useless TO expect
results from a meeting Of few un-l
der strappers at Brussels"
According to reliable information
obtained from British sources. Pre- !
mier Poincare does not welcome
contemplated American participation
in the London conference. II is said
in this connection that Poincare and
his government are likely 20 go un-
der IL the Premiers fail to reach an
agreement. Such agreement is con-
sldered doubtful by the British who
say they expect the American "ob-
server" at London will oppose
French plans to coerce Germany.
Ambassador Harvey may play a |
role similar to that of Richard Wash
ourn Child at Lausanne.
