OPENING OF FIGHT
FOR U. S. BACKING
By Lowell Vellctt '
CtuUd Nw BUff Correspondent "-
"Washington, March 2i. The ar
rival of Rene Vlvlanl within a -week
or so in Washington may be the be
ginning; of an openkstruggle between
France and Great Britain for the
-preferred friendship of th4 XinRed
States. It would bring into the open
at the eame time the serious conflict
of French and British -interests. f .
The "situation that has come 'about
since the war is not', in the least to
France's liking. ' The French- do not
. like the fact that her interests continue
to depend more or less on British Inter
ests. There is constant efforts on ' the
part of the French to shake their conti
rental policy, loose from British policy,
out , since tne -poller or each is lnex
tricabiy bound up with the German set
tlement this is not easy to achieve. -
"WOUI, 8TAKD ALONE
"We do not intend to be the house of
Hapsburg to England's bouse of Hohen-
zoiiern,ris tne way exasperated French
politicians frequently express their de-
( termination to cut themselves free from
the influence of British policies. France
has not lost her dream of becoming in
fact what she always has been in spirit.
a first rate power. But the difficulties
of realizing her dreams remain enor
mous. Poverty stricken in consequence
-of the war and ber hopes of dominion In
Kat , Europe, particularly in' Russia.
Again and again upset, she has had to'
watch the seeming success of England
in pulling profit out of the world catas
trophe. The trade agreement with. Rus
sia, just signed,' is a case In point, while
the conflict between herself and Eng
land over the terms with . Germany has
grown in part of the realization -that
in the back of the British mind there is
more desire to shape terms that will per
mit early resumption of commerce with
tiermany. -v"-'-
France has been negotiating j in the
terms of the treaty in the- half-century-old
fear,' while Britain has been -negotiating
with plans of restoring he great
middleman business.- ;
DISARMAMENT APPROVED
- France has hitherto been regarded as
the greatest stumbling block toward dis
armament on a big scale, but it can be
said that she looks with real favor on
the progress that, has been made toward
mutual reductions by Britain , and the
United States. Now that England is ap
parently about ready to accept a pro-
. gram that will leave her no longer the
absolute misress of the seas, France is
beginning to see some good in the idea.
If. a - liberal gesture, indicating that
France is willing to contract the size of
her army noticably, will help to speed
the reduction of England's sea forces,
Viviani can be expected not to withhold
the( gesture. France's idea of -power is
the diplomatic idea. So long' as Eng
land's representatives can sit at the
"council table with the knowledge of 'all
' present behind them as an unchallenged
sea power.- their voice In any settlements
Is apt to be supreme. Once this suprem
acy is gone. France will feel, easier.
' Events have' shaped around to the
point where Viviani, whose recent con
Terr Ion to the League.-of:, Nations bas
not. been convincing to all statesmen in
Eutope and this, country, comes to
America as the aetual spokesman for
the league. .
1KANCE MIGHT CUT LOOSE '
; The league serves France's ' purpose
in -the present emergency, but the inde
pendent backing of the United States
might, serve her purpose 'even better.
. Viviani would be the ideal instrument
through which to sacrifice the form of
the league, in favor of the form of Hard
ing's proposed association of nations. If
In return for the sacrifice the desired
American backing could be had.
England will watch' events in connec
tion with Viviani's visit with acute in
terest. She expects to send a mission of
her own to America reasonably soon,
but there are Intimations from JLondon
that this mission will await the result
of Viviani's negotiations before setting
sail. Equally it may be the case that
the state department may await the
- coming o the British visitors before
committing itself in any way on ques
tions raised by tne rencn. Having in
' mind the importance of the negotiations
on this side of the water being' preciol
tated by the two principal European
powers, it is 'already the. disposition of
the administration to delay action in
congress on resolutions looking to the
declaration of formal peace ..with Ger
many. - -

True, Says Orlando
- Home. March 21. (I. K. S.) The pic
tures, drawn by Robert Lansing, former
American secretary of state, in a 'series
.of magazine articles of the chief figures
at the peace conference are exaggerated
according to a statement made today
by former Premier Orlando, who headed
tne iiauan peace delegation to Paris.
"Mr.- Lansing's article representing M.
Clemenceau as a kind of tyrant, . and
Mr. Wilson and Mr. Lloyd George as in
fants jvas a great exaggeration, said
the Italian statesman, M. Clemenceau's
position at the peace conference was
most difficult The United States, like
others, did not get the exact kind of peace
aha wanted. Italy in particular suffered
from Mr. Wilson's Injustices." :

HARDING CALLS A
HALT ON SHIPPING
: By Richard lie
Unircraal Satvice Still Correspondent. '
"Waahington., March 21.- President
Harding has1 called a hajt on the mad
scramble' for places on the United
States shipping board by letting it
be known that those appointments
would not be considered ' for ''some
time to come" and that the candid
ates, numbering . la the : hundreds,
may as well go home. i;
Since the day the president took office
the candidates for shipping board places
have overwhelmed him. and he has
stopped it with the simple measure of
laying those appointments aside "for the
consideration of other matters," stated
one of .the president's closest,, advisers
here, today.
THOUSANDS APPLY ' '
An Idea of the task of filling such
positions has been . gained by some in
formal : statistics - mtaich , the clerical
forces have compiled on the " candidates
for the position, showing , an : excess of
10,000 candidates'. - - ' ; l ' '
: Of course, nothing like that' number
of applications has : ever gotten aefore
the president. The total list- of. appli
cants was narrowed down -to a list of
a dozen eligibles which Is headed at
the present time by Charles L.. Clifford
of Chicago, a former business associate
of Secretary of War Weeks, who is sup
posed to be Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon's choice. " . -' ; ;,;
PEECT MLEAlf HAS I3TTEETIEW t
One man, whose name has been linked
with a shipping board place, ' got In to
see the president Saturday. That was
Percy McLean of Canton, Ohio, How
ever, he denied 'v that shipping board
places were discussed, a statement 'ac
cepted ' generally because of the belief
that Ohloana have about gone the limit
on appointments received. . -. ; .
Another of the president's visitors was
W. N. Doak, president of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen, who was
ence mentioned for secretary of labor.
He stated - that he - had called in re
sponse to a' pre-inaugural Invitation for
a general conference on the railroad
labor situation. - y- : i -:
John M. Morehead, Republican na
tional committeeman from North Caro
lina, was the means of bringing forth
the announcement that the president for
some weeks yet will be unable to con
sider invitations to functions, either - In
er outside of Washington. . Mr. More
head wanted him to make a trip to
North Carolina for a local celebration.
.."With the exception of one appear
ance to be announced early this week,
the president will not - consider invita
tions of any kind for at least two or
three weeks," was the White House
announcement. ' - i
