BM TO COME FOR CONFERENCE " I FRENCH PREMIER ATTENDS DISARMAMENT MEETING.j FUST FORMAL ACCEPTANCE RECEIVED AT WASHINGTON FROM AN INVITED NATION. ' Washington, Aug. 15.?The hope of American officials that the disarmament conference will be a diplomatic conclave of the first order was strengthened today when France ait +Va aha+j* rf&nnrtmpnt that she Would send bar premier, Aristide Briand, alt the head of her delegation of diplomatists. The decision is expected here to jbe followed by similar moves on the part of ithe other powers, investing the gathering With extraordinary significance and giving it muchN of the plenary authority that was possessed 'by the council of "heads of states," at Versailles. The French notification came in the form of a (message from Premier Briand himself, transmitted through the American embassy at Paris, say+V10 nmmlAr tfffltlM HiW> V*^ ? ta kepkasure in personally repre' senting his country at the confer. abee. - It ma the first formal acceptance to be received from any of (the invited nations. Meantime the administration's preparation of its own part in the conference was advanced (by a request sent to congress for an appropriation of $200,(TOO as an ' initial budget to pay expenses of the Aim1 e'rkan representatives and of a secretariat-general. The sum fixed m the request. and ly disposed of any expectation that 'this government would pay expenses of any of the visiting delegations, for congress was informed specifically that the money was to he used for the American delegation and for the i secretariat-general alone. In making the request President Harding merely transmitted with his approval a letter written by Undersecretary Fletcher of the state department, who has been placed in charge of the physical arrangements for the conference and who prepared his estimates after a conference with Director General Dawes of the bad, get bureau. There was no attempt to divide the sums into separate items. In the senate it is likely that the requested appropriations will he attached to the shipping (board appropriation bill. News that the. - French premier would attend the conference was received with manifest satisfaction here, for there has been a general expectation that should one of the powers decide to send its premier the other would do likewise in the interest of fair representation. Not only will the presence of the foreign premiers here ' add greatly - >' to the weight of the deliberations, but it is expected also to be a con sideraNe help in expediting the work of the conference. In ordinary diplomatic gatherings much time is cos." sumed communicating with the home governments for information and in> ftroct&ns, but with the highest political authorities of therarioua. powers actually on the ground it is boped decisions can ibe made promptly and with finality.
