"At some later period, should it be

WASHlNtiTON, Dec. 9.-Thera was

itol to-day of Pre?ld?nt Hardlng'a ref?
erence in hi? message to other pact? In
the natura of the four-power pact.
This phaie of the menage beyond
anv question is arousing more com?
ment and speculation than any othar
in the document.
Both because of the fact that it
seem? to be ?o viewed by M. Clemen?
ceau, and for other reason?, tha refer?
ence by the President to th? applica?
tion of tha four-power pact to other
< controversies is accepted a? meaning
; nothing lei? th?n that the President
? ha? in mind another great Interna?
tional conference, to be hejd In Wash?
ington before many morrths, to deal
w.th at least soma of tho trouble? that
I betet Kurope.
Scope Woold Re Tiroad
It i? the hrlief of those in a poii
1 tion to know that if such a conference
? i? ever called by th? President it will
| be of ?n importance that reaches far
? beyond the Genoa conference ?nd
? other conference? which have been
I held in Kurope sine? the Versailles
I Treaty wa? effected. It undoubtedly
? would be largely economic, but would
involve diiarmament and unavoidably
would re?ch into largo phases of in?
ternational politics.
What nations would br brought Into
the proposed pact which the President
?terns to have in mind I? one of tho
jubjeet? for ?peculation. Howtvcr,
Senate goaiip indicate? that if it i*
1 h?)d and is to be broad enough ta do
' any good, It will have to include the
leading powers of Kurope, not even ex?
cepting German.,. In the absence of
recognition of Russia by this govern?
ment, it Is assumed generally by those
who aie ?peculating on the subject
that Russia naturally would be left
out.
1' is pointed out that if the Kuro
pean disarmament and economic ques?
tion? are to be settled and they are
conceded to b? Inter-related then both
| France and Germany must meet each
\ other face to face at the proposed con?

To Sound Sentiment
While the Ulk about the Senate in?
dicates the Prealdent'i plan is to an

(Ireat developments on this lin? ar?

Much of the comment on the pro?

"I am prepared to reconsider

went on, "if such cancellation would
insure a settlement satisfactory to th?
British government."
M. Poincare, although reserving kit
formal reply to the new suggestion H

at tha British attitude.
Th? British Prime Minister hH?fl

According to thi? plan tha German
