4 The United States last week resumed
Its leadership of International affairs,
and President Harding's world policy
unfolded In a way that leads his warm
supporters to believe his plans for an
association of nations to preserve the
peace of the world are on the eve of
fulfillment. This comes about through
the President's Invitation to Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan to
send representatives to a disarmament
reduction conference in Washington,
and his suggestion that the
meeting, If held, also undertake a settlement
of the Pacific and Far Eastern
problems, China being asked to participate
In that part of the conference.
, Of course, the Invitation was informal
In nature, but the nations named
have received It with acclaim, and all
have signified their willingness to ac

Issued, so it may be considered cer[
tain that the conference will be
held, probably in the coming autumn
or possibly early next year. All the
world Is evincing intense interest in j
the plan, and certain of the lesser powers
are eager to take part In the great
conference. That the discussion will 1
not be limited to the subjects men- '
tioned is almost beyond doubt, and
there is reason to believe that the as-' '
sociatlon of nations with which Pres- I
ident Harding hopes to silpplant the
League of Nations will be born at
the Washington conference.
Not only did the President forestall 1
I the action of congress, which was 1
I passing flnalty on the naval bill con- 1
taining the Borah amendment asking
| the President to negotiate a naval holiday
with Great Britain and Japan; ;
be also went further than Borah and
his followers desired and broaderied
the proposition to Include land armuments.
It was feared by many that
Italy, and especially France, would
refuse to reduce their military 1
strength. Frhnce feels that she must
be guaranteed against another attack
by Germany, and Italy's main
strength Is her army. Borah and
others thought the inclusion of land
armaments might defeat the whole j
plan, but the administration thinks
their fears are groundless and that an
agreement for naval reduction may be

armies Is found einbarasslng. Indeed,
the governments of France and Italy
were as prompt as that of Great Britain
.to accept Mr. Harding's invitation.
China's approval of the plan came
next, and Japan, after carefully considering
the Far Eastern phase of the
matter, instructed its embassy at 1
Washington to accept, so far asarmament
reduction is concerned.
Before President Harding issued the
informal invitations, the leading statesmen
of Great Britain were consulted
by Ambassador Harvey and also by
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, who was
reported to he unofficially assisting
Mr. Harvey in the matter. It Is said
they informed Washington of the 1
psychological moment for tnking action.
Then Doctor Butler went to
I'arls and talked with French leaders, '
j and told correspondents that Presi|
dent Millerand was highly enthusiastic
over the American plan. "French and
: British statesmen agree with me that
: President Harding's proposal marks a 1

world," said Doctor Hutler. 11

OFFICER GIVEN WIDE POWER ]
Capt. Arthur Lee Willard Takes Hold
as Aid for Navy Yards of
the Country.
Washington.?Capt. Arthur Lee Willard,
recently detached from command
of the dreadnaught New Mexico, has
arrived In Washington under orders
to report as aid for navy yards to the '
secretary of the navy. This Is u new |
office, and its creation marks the In- j

ment of the project to the house of
commons and of the government's approval
of it was greeted with prolonged
cheering. A few days later
there was talk in London of a separate
conference th re on Pacific matters
before the Washington meeting, because
the premiers of Australia and
New Zealand said It would be impossible
for them to go home and return
to America almost immediately. When
this suggestion reached Washington
the administration let It be known that
efforts to divert any part of the proposed
conference from the American
capital would not be acceptable<
It was said Lloyd George and Lord
Curzon, foreign minister, would come
as the representatives of Great Britain,
and this stirred up an amusing
row over there. The Times declared
editorially that neither of those men
is fitted "by his position, his temperameht,
and his past career to take a direct
part in these negotiations.
The premier retorted with an order
that representatives of the Times, the
Dally Mall and the Evening News, all
controlled by Lord Northcllffe, should
be denied access to information given
out to the press generally at the foreign
office and by the prime minister's
secretaries at 10 Downing street. How
Lloyd George can Justify such a blow
at the liberty and Independence of the
press remains to* De seen, remaps
he will not try to do so.
It Is Interesting to note that a committee
of the League of Nations met
in Luxembourg on Saturday, under
the presidency of M. Vivlanl, to consider
disarmament. Officials of the
league at Geneva assert the league Is
not yet considering abandoning Its disarmament
plans because of the action
of the United States. It will be still
more interesting to see what will happen
If both the league and the Washington
conference adopt different disarmament
projects.
While the great powers are thus
moving toward peace for the world,
England and Ireland are moving toward
peace for the British Isles. Eainonn

Intentions of both sides to put an end
to the age-long discord were made evident,
and there was a general feeling
of hopeful optimism. "I am sure th?
atmosphere in England and Ireland Is
right for peace," said Mr. De Valera.
"The only thing that is necessary now
Is for us to get down to rock bottom,
rhls Is simply a private conference with
Mr. Lloyd fleorge, instead of a longrunge
bombardment, to see what can
be done at close quarters."
Sir James Craig, premier of Ulster,
also went to London to act as spokesman
for the northern Irish In case he
Is called upon. However, he has been
bitterly opposed to any parleys between
the Britlkh government and
Sinn Fein. In Ulster^ alone the truce

There has been a lot of fighting In Belfast

that If there should be any evidence
that the Greeks are making use

There was a report that White Russian
volunteers, well armed, were restoring
the old Polish-German battle
lines and that the Polish Irregulars under
General Zellgowskl were attacking
them with armored automobiles.
In the Vllna district, It was said,
the entlr^peasant population was In
revolt against Zellgowskl^s rule, and
was making successful attacks on his
forces.
Backing up the statements of Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon, President
Harding went before the senate
and urged that action on the soldier
bonus bill be deferred Indefinitely.
The reasons given by both the President
and the secretary were purely
financial, and both of them declared
In effect that If the bill were passed
tax reduction would be Impossible and
the financial stability of the country
would be Imperiled.
"I know the feelings of my own
breast and that of yours and the grateful
people of this republic," the Presl
dent said. "But no thoughtful person
possessed with all the facts, Is read^
for added compensation' for the
healthy, self-reliant masses of our
great armlee at the cost of a treasury
breakdown, which will bring its
hardships to all the citizens of the republic."
At the same time the President declared
himself most emphatically in favor
of the fullest measure of relief
to the disabled veterans of the World
war. He^sked that the bonus bill be
recommitted to the finance committee,
and suggested that congress concentrate
on tax and tariff revision,
especially the former. He told the
senate that "there Is confessed disappointment
that so little progress has
been made In the readjustment and reduction
of the war-time taxes."
The Democratic senators began a
fierce fight against the motion to recommit
the bonus bill, Senator Robinson
of Arkansas assuming the lead->
ershlp because Senator Underwood la
opposed to the bonu?. However, it
was taken for granted that the motion
would prevail.
The Sweet bill, providing for adequate
relief for disabled veterans and
for the consolidation of relief agencies,
was favorably reported by the
subcommittee to the senate finance
committee, but Its progress was halt
ed again when the senators heard Mr.
Sraoot's prediction, based on official
estimates, that the probable Increase
of expenditure to carry out the provisions
of the measure would be ciose
to $o00,000,000 annually.
Though the French declare the Leipzig
trials of alleged war criminals are
farcical, and have withdrawn from the
commissions watching the proceedings, ?
the trials are going on, and last week
there was revived interest because two
German lieutenants were arruigned
charged with submarine frlghtfuincss.
They commanded the U-bont that sank

Castle, and are accused of attempting
to murder the entire personnel of the
vessel, including the wounded and the
Red Cross nurses, after they realized
their mistake In sinking the shin. The
defendants refused to testify, but
members of the crew told how it was
decided to. hide all traces of the crime
and how the overcrowded lifeboats
were shelled and sunk. The
court then surprised the allied watchers
by calling a dozen Germans who
testified to alleged British atrocities
at sea. and made the charge that tho
steamship Baralong flew the American
flag when it sunk the German submarine
U-31. Some of them swore the
British used lifeboats as decoys and
carried troops and munitions aboard
hospital ships; All of this was Intended
to justify the acts of the submarine
commanders."

Only a very limited number of
Canadians have received me aisunction
of knighthood. Among them
Gilbert Parker stands out most prominently,
for he has the unique record
of acquiring the honor solely as a
recognition of his literary gifts.
Since making him a knight in 1902,
the British Empire has conferred additional
honors upon him. He was
created a baronet of the first class in
1915, a privy councillor in 1916 and
later made honorary colonel of the
ancient and aristocratic Kent Royal
Garrison artillery. He also has a collection
of regular and special college
degrees.
To most of us he is more impressive
as plain Gilbert Parker, one of
the foremost novelists of the day,
who was once a poor boy and who
rose to his nresent prominence
through the sheer force of ability.
Mo has written about thirty novels,
book of poems, several successful I
plays and some books on travel. It
was the great Canadian story, "The
Kight of Way," which established I
him firmly. This paper has secured I i
one of his very successful stories, I *
"No Defense," for serial printing. It I * '
