No treaty, no defensive alliance or offensive al- liance of any sort will even be dis- cussed. The purpose of the confer- ence is to dispel' misunderstanding, to end the long era of diplomatic blundering; and rivalry in arma. ments; and to inaugurate.a period of goodwill which will make the English speaking races the' greatest agency for peace that the world has ever known. "If the conference succeeds--and the similarity of temperament and purpose among the principals au- guers well for such success--Great Britain, Canada and the United States will have created an intang- ible alliance for peace stronger than any treaty or protocol ever signed." i NEWSPAPERMEN FROM CANADA ARE WELCOMED, PARIS Times Represented by C.
