AP) President Coolldge be
lieves that an international confer
ence oosslbly to be held In Paris
for the simultaneous signature ot
all interested governments of the
anti-war covenant now under ne
gotiation would be very helpful
In em nhasisinc the importance of
the treaty in the eyes of the world'
by giving the ceremony a suitable
setting.
Secretary of State Kellogg has
informed Mr. Cqolidge of sugges
tions along this line made by var
ious European countries, and
while his department has the mat
ter under consideration no final
decision as to its acceptance or re
jection has been reached.
President Coolldge. however, is
inclined to think that In view of
the great Importance which the
pact has assumed and the cordial
ity with which Secretary Kel
logg's latest proposed draft of it
has been received by the great
est powers, a solomn ceremony at
its conclusion would greatly en
hance its prestige besides actually
facilitating the process of affixing
the necesVary signatures.
President Coolldge would not be
opposed to such a conference tak
ing place in Paris or In any oth
er European capital sooner than
in Washington, inasmuch as he
realises that the American city is
much further from the capitals of
most of the signatory powers than
any European center would be.
For this reason Washington has
never been, suggested as the seat
of such a gathering.
President Coolldge has been
kept Informed of the gratifying
manner ta which acceptances of
the American draft ot the treaty
have been reaching the state de
partment treat the chief countries
involved and from many ot the
smaller ones as welL
The draft proposal which was
