NO PRELIMINARY GATHERINGS Whatever Discussion There is On the Agenda or Program of Conference Must be Available to All. ? Washington. ? The United States Government means to deal fairly by all the powers invited to the disarmament conference ana therefore is frowning upon the suggestion of a preliminary parley. Right at the start the American I government has put its foot down hard on one of the things that brought such a deluge of criticism on the Ver sailles conference, namely the practice of a few powers getting off to one side and framing a program which I became a source of suspicion on me ! part of the other nations who were i not in on the secret preliminaries. 1 President Harding and Secretary ' Hughes are outlining principles of procedure which are American rather 1J than European. Having invited all | the great powers to a conference the ' j American government would not feel 1 that it was exactly fair to have a pre': liminary gathering of a few nations 5 ahead of time. The United States is " anxious to hold the conference at a } time that is convenient to all, but " nothing would be gained by a hurried r meeting early in the fall in which matters would be hastily discussed. ' Whatever discussion there is on the 1 i agenda or program must be available 5 to all powers. There will be no se 'cret understandings, alliances or en'itentes within the conference. j J Many Poisoned by Ice Cream. New Orleans. ?
