Plans for President Harding's national confer ence on unemployment will probably be completed in time to permit the conferees to meet here early in September, Secretary Hoover declar ed. Mr. Hoover said it was hoped to limit the conference to from 15 to 25 members representing the coun try geographically. A small number is necessary to permit of concerted action and prevent delay.

There is no concealment here of the disap pointment of allied diplomats in the new peace treaty signed by the Uni ted States and Germany. The allies had been hoping to the last that the United States would stand by her first signature on the Versailles treaty, and thus preserve the asso ciation which began in 1917. The Eu ropean governments were prepared to agree to any reservations to the Versailles pact which the American government might have proposed They wanted America's signature on I were again assembling, were the treaty of .

One of the so-alled big sec-1 rets of the Paris peace conference j was the inner reason for the failure of that conference to fix the size of the German indemnity, and it was later acknowledged that because Prime Minister Lloyd George had made an extravagant election prom ise, the peace conference agreed with the argument of the British Prime Minister that his own political for tunes would suffer if the indemnity were definitely fixed. But leaving aside the considera tions of domestic politics whih caused both President Harding and Secre tary idea of "engaging under the exist ing treaty of Versailles," there are in allied circles many who predict that America has not safeguarded her rights from a legal standpoint, and that while the allies are disposed at this time to interpose no objection to the American course of action, the chances are that the indirect method by which the United States has made peace with Germany will furnish plenty of legal controversy in future years. The allies, of course, owe the United States a good deal of money, and are not likely in the immediate future to engage in serious contro versy over legal questions, but it is admitted that the European govern ments may some day question the validity of those rights which the United States has endeavored to ac quire by a separate treaty with Germany. The line of thought of those who contend that the new treaty does not safeguard America's rights is that in the preamble America formally an nounced to the world that the treaty of Versailles signed by the United States was not ratified and is, there fore, inapplicable to the United States. In lter sections of the Hughes-Knox treaty, America speci fically claims rights and privileges of the Versailles treaty. The question is asked how the United States can in one breath declare that a certain contract is null and void, and in the next breath Insist that certain parts of the contract are valid.
