The next step is a disarmament
conference.
President Coolidge would like to
call that conference under American
auspices, as sequel to the Was
ington Conference. The League
Nations would like to call in under
League auspices, as matter of
prestige. Both can not be held.
Which one is held will perhaps de-
pend on a blancing of motives. Eu-
rope would like to strengthen the
League, as against the weakening
tendency of American abstention}
But Europe would also like to en-
list American cooperation on a
larger scale.
1t will be a question of which is
Wanted most.
But there are real reasons,
even from the American standpoint,
why it might be more desirable for
us to leave it to the Leagueu. We do
not object to increasing the Leagues
prestige. We are not against the
League at all, for its members. If it
can do them good, so much the bet
ter.
All our "anti-Leagues" want is
to keep out of the League ourselves
And the best way to do that would
be for us, to leave this conference
to the League. We have nothing tc
disarm, in the way of land forces
