The conference, regarded as one of

Thrciiirheut the league fight Mr.
Root advocated acceptance of the
Versailles covenant with reservations
and during his world court confer

the conference was entirely confiden

Harding is understood to have sought
for information about ths practical
working of the league as observed by
his visit to Europe.
Questions of the same sort were
