j Hague Conference Opened
With 30 European Coun
tries: Represented More
Conciliatory Attitude Indi
V cated Than at Genoa, But
fti r t r . .
nu ounnuence or success.
THE HAGUE, June 15. The econo-
mic rehabilitation of Europe and the
re-establishment of Russia in the fam
ily of nationB were before the world
again today as the principal powers
resumed the discussions abandoned at
Geneva a month ago.
All Europe centered its hopes today
on the new conference, which is dedi
cated principally to the problem of
Russia. Failure of the efforts at Paris
to organize an international loan fur
Germany undoubtedly has served to
augment the pessimism obtaining in
many quarters concerning the pros
pects of the present gathering reach
ing definite agreements with soviet
Russia on such vital matters as credit,
the treatment to be accorded to pro
perty held by foreigners and the pay
ment of the Russian debts.
The conference was called to order
by the Dutch foreign minister, H. A.
Van Karnebeek. Sixty delegates, rep
resenting about 30 countries were
present. '
Nevertheless, determination was evi
dent among the delegates gathered for
the preliminary meetings to make
every effort to achieve the results
which the Genoa conference failed to
achieve. The representatives of the
t principal countries excepting , Russia
assembled In the peace palace at 2:30
thlB afternoon, and there began their
labors of studying the program which
will be presented to the Russian dele
- gation at the Joint meetings to open
on June 26.
Chief interest lies in the harmoniza
tion of the attitudes of England,
France and Italy on how to approach
the soviet delegation officially, for
France shows a disposition to adhere
tenaciously to her Genoa demand for
suitable guarantees from the Bolshe
vik! before undertaking to renew offic
ial relations with Russia.
France objects to the soviet memor
andum, submitted to the Genoa con
ference on May 11,. which attacked the
capitalistic systems of the other coun
tries, and charged these nations with
doing many things confiscating pro
perty for example, equally drastic
with the BolBhevik measures to -which
they objected. The French would like
to see this memorandum withdrawn
by the Soviets before official pour
paries with the Russian delegates are
again inaugurated. ' '
Great Britain and Italy apparently
are ready to pursue a more concilia
tory policy. The preliminary begin
ning today, therefore promises to be
most Important.
Russia Stands Pat
MOSCOW, June 14. On the eve of
the Hague conference government of
.. flcials Informed the Associated Press
t that the Russian attitude at the new
meeting would be the same as at
Genoa. The only concessions to foreign
, capital possible, it was added, will be
on the basis of the, recently enacted
lc'B, governing private property.
Karl Radek, soviet chief of publicity,
ueclared:
"The Hague conference of experts
will be rather a hindrance than a help,
because It will not be a mutual discus
sion of problems, but merely create a
new united front of capital.
The Russian government is not in
such a low position as to allow Itself
to be treated with contempt, either by

Secretary of War Waxes Pes
simistic in Address Before
Ohio Reserve University
Opposes Direct Primary,
Farm Bloc and Social Democracy-
CLEVELAND, O., June 15 (By As
sociated Press). A frankly pessimistic
view of some of the predominant ten
dencies of American political thought
was voiced today by Secretary Weeks
of the war department at the com
mencement exercises of Western He
serve university.
In an address which he said ho was
tempted to entitle "The Decline of tho
American Government," the war secre
tary declared the drift of recent years
was gradually weakening the nation's
governmental structure by undermin
ing the constitution and sweeping
away the principles of party responsi
bility. The direct primary, "bloc" agitation
and the country's readiness to accept
constitutional amendments were given
by the speaker as evidence that tho
government was heading away from
its ancient safeguards and toward
complete social democracy.
"As one result," he asserted, "in the
public mind the legislative branch of
our iiiatlonal government probably
never has been at lower ebb than it Is
today."
"Hie direct primary," he continued,)
has go palpably lessoned the quality
of men willing to serve in public af
fairs that prompt action should be
taken to greatljr taodlfy or entirely re
peal it." .., ,. j
Government Block Condemned
Turning to the. "bloc" movements n
politics, Mr. Weeks declared that when
a party comes Into power promising
to do certain things and then finds
that groups break away from party
allegiance whenever their own inter
ests seem to bo . directly involved,
"there is an end to responsibility in
government.'' In Its attempts to Im
prove upon the work of the fathers
by amending the constitution, the sec
retary said, the country "failed signal
ly." He added that in the matter of popu
lar elections, "we havo -run riot," and
suggested that much of the present
unrest and uncertainty, seemed to cen
ter in taxation,
By way of preface, the secretary said
his philosophizing applied to no partic
ular party and that he spoke not as a
government official but as a private
citizen exercising his privilege of free
speech.
Be Unpopular
"If any of you young men and wom
en decide to undertake a public career,
as I Jiope you will, let me urge you
never to support a proposition because
it is popular to do so."
"Be guided in your actions by wis
dom and justice. It Is easy to obtain
the applause of the unthinking, but it
is a cheap price.
"Government is .so intricate that It
should be administered by trained
men. The constitution Intended that
this should be done and that the gen
eral common sense which, applies in
other fields of human endeavor should
be used in administering the affairs of
our government.
"We see an ever increasing tendency
on the part of the citizens to interfere
in the details of legislation and the
representative In congress is rapidly
becoming merely the delegate of his
constituency.
. "I believe the mature judgment of
the people of the country can be trust
ed. If you take. any great question of
government and discuss it fully , in
every school district In the country,
through the press and from the plat
form, tho net results will be a correct
solution from the standpoint of the
nation; but such a procedure is not
possible in the case of one one-thousandth
part of the questions pressing
for solution every year."

stitution of tho United States." Am

in the American trade union move
ment made their first move In the

zations. The resolution was introduced by

eration of Labor take tho necessary
action toward bringing about the re
quired solidarity within the ranks of

step in this direction, the various
international unions be called into con
ference for the pui M)se of amalgamat
ing all the unions in the respective
industries into single organizations,

try." '
