Washington.' Dec i 7. The United States is offering its good affVoes to bring the, allied nations and Germany into an anti-war pact, which will make possible reduction of large standing armies in Europe, and thereby enable those countries to make more, headway economically: 1 - ' president Harding Is convinced that aa progress can be .made in Kurope until a peaceful attitude of isind pre vails there. Hence the first step, as be sees it. Is to bring the nations into as anti war treaty somewhat after the model suggested by David . Lloyd George at the Genoa conference. It ia much the same principla as was applied intbe four-power Pacific "pact at the Wash ington ' armament conference, - with a new application to European conditions. - Having . this movement afoot, the president is- apathetic to Senator Borah's proposal for an economia cotv ference, which would also discuss sub marines and aircraft, the latter a mat ter which met with frank hostility at the Washington armament meeting. . HiBDISQ WOBKISG OS rUJ Nevertheless administration senators are risking no open fight against the Borah proposal; Instead tbey ara of fering at least three reservations which would commit the United States against Considering cancellation ot the allied debt, assumption r of - responsibilities under the Versailles treaty and against flotation of. a government loan tor Europe.. -" 'r':-':-'- : 1 - The ilari"for an European jton-ag gression pact is still nebulous. Some exchanges of an encouraging nature are aaid to have taken place. - There is no intimation as to how soon daralop- menta - will have reached the point where public formalities can proceed but this can hardly be before the allied premiers' meeting, January 2. An that can be said - with finality Is that the president is working on the plan and. rears that the Borah proposal will interfere with It br mlsleadinr Europe as to the sentiment in congress. if this government a overtures prove acceptable an International conference will be, -possible, n. r '.' f: " " tT. 8.

TM united States' would nartietoate as friendly ixwer. interested, anlv in world peace and lla no selfish ends. it. might, or might not be' a party to treaties negotiated.- The main aim of this government would be to bring the FSllTYnttt tiatlAh.

Land disarmament might be a lorl- cat step, after Such a treaty; that is the hope of this administration, and if euch disarmament could be effected then European nations wduld have lit tle difficulty in balancing their budgets and pulling out of the economic mire. The reparations questions would have to be dealt With., but. Just bow it, is Impossible to say. Many details, will depend upon sug gestions offered by Ambassador George Harvey, who, arrives from London in a few days. Tha main direction of the administration's course coincides with the view, taken by Senator McCormlck of Illinois, after a ttmp ot European capitals. He says that an economic conference is futile until European na tions are persuaded to drop their ani mosities. - - L - ; : :' 't' Senator Lodge, chairman of the sen ate foreign relations committee, expects to outline the administration's views regarding European ' conditions in a speech Wednesdayi, h, ' Adminiatrauon senators will meet in the forenoon to draft reservations to the Borah proposal. - Congreesmaa MondelL Wyoming.
