reparations middle along the lines
suggested by Secretary Hughes.
Administration leaders said today
Colonel Harvey's speech should not
be taken to indicate the United
States is willing to mix up in any
old kind OF an international gath
ering that may be arranged under
the ambitious designation Of "a
world conference" Such ic not
the case.
POIicy's Wisdom Proved.
America turned down an invita-
ton to a world economic confer
ence" at Genoa, promoted by David
Lloyd George. a year and half
ago because, in the opinion OF the
late President Harding and Secre-
tary Hughes. the stubborn attitude
Of France precluded the Genoa
meeting accomplishing any real re-
suits. Events since Genoa have
demonstrated the wisdom of that
policy, according to administration
leaders, and an invitation now to
any such similar conference will
only result in similar aloofness on
the part of this Government.
Aside from the world aspect of
Americas renewed proffer Of good
offices, Colonel Harvey's speech was
designed, too, to have an effect on
politics at home.
Republicans are fully aware that
in the approaching Presidential
campaign, the Democrats are plan
ming to savageiy attack Republican
foreign policies, contending that the
do nothing" attitude Of the Re-
publican administration is respon-
sibIe for many world Ills and par
ticuIarly for the collapse Of foreign
markets for American farm pro-
duce.
Colonel Harvey's speech Mt this
time is considered by Republican
party and administration officials
as constituting a reply to this
Democratic argument. His speech
emphasized Americas willingness
to participate in. q settlement of
Europe's troubles Il Europe itself
will open the door. Colonel Harvey
has sounded the keynote Of the
Republican party's defense Of it's
foreign policy.

HARVEY SPEECH
WAS DRAF TED
HERE
Coolidge and Hughes Read It
Before He Left-Gave Ad-
ministration Policy.
BY GEORGE r.. HOLMES.
International News Service.

/ International News Service.
Col. George Harvey spoke with
the entire approval Of President
Coolidge and Secretary of State
Hughes when he informed the
world last night in his farewell
speech in London that the United
States is willing to help Europe
settle her troubles if Europe wishes
it.
The ambassador said, however
that the United States does not
intend to tkick the door down" in
order to get into a position Of help
fitness. That is the Coolidge
Hughes policy.
! Waits For Invitation.
Given the proper invitation, &C.
companied by manifestation of a
sincere desire to better conditions,
America is willing to help Europe
settle the reparations problem and
any others that are now keeping
I s
the old world embroiled.
Colonel Harvey spoke in London
to an English audience. But his
remarks were really addressed
across the English Channel to the
French government, which eleven
months ago summarily snubbed
Secretary Hughes suggestion for
adjusting the knotty reparationa
problem, and accompanied it with q
virtual invitation to Washington I'd
mind it's own business.
Effect Of French Snub.
Frances brusque rejection OF the
Hughes proposal-for an economic
commission Of experts to determine
the amount of reparations Germany
can pay and still live - has for
eleven months kept washington
completely out of all association
with the reparations controversy.
And Washington considers the repa.
rations problem the crux Of the
WHOI6 european mess.
In these eleven months the situa.
ton in Europe has gone from bad
to worse. That is the matter-of-fact
opinion Of Administration leaders.
France has had her try at collection
by coercion, and has only succeeded
In pushing the tottering German
Reich a little closer to the brink of
national oblivion.
Therefore, Colonel Harvey's speech
last night, whcih was thought out
and discussed at the White House
before he returned to London. is
considered by officials here to be
peculiarly timely and appropriate.
Price U. 8. Demands.
Colonel Harvey has again informed
the world, and France in particular.
that the present situation is hope
less in it's outlook for better condi-
lions. and that the United States is
willing to lend a helping hand-for
price.
The price demanded is abandon
ment of petty politics in Europe and
manifestation of sincere desire to
put things right by tachling the

CIY|C COMMITTEE HOLDS
 ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING

The Civic Committee held a meet ing last night at the city hall, which was largely attended. It was decided to hold Fourth of July celebration in Seward, sports and games for the kid dies being about the only events in the way of athletic sports. The Le- zion members and Auxiliary will have charge of the affair and will arrange short, patriotic program. Owing to the Brooklyn Eagle party and Presi- dential party arriving so soon after the Fourth anything in the nature of a celebration, it was thought, would entail too much expense and work.
 A coast guard cutter will be in port during the Fourth and ball game will be arranged. The Odd Fellows will also give a dance the night of the Fourth.
 In order to defray expenses and secure prizes for the children, a dance will be given Saturday, June 30, by the entertainment committee of the Civic Committee. It is hoped that everyone will buy at least one ticket, in order to raise funds for the occa- sion.
