WASHINGTON D. C Not. 26. President Wikon today received the

ject of mediation. '
Geneva. Switzerland. Nov. 2C (By
the Associated Press). It was an-
nounced after a meeting of the steer-
ing committee of the assembly of the
league of nations this morning that
the next meeting of the assembly
will be on Tuesday November 30.
The attitude among delegates of the
assembly toward the appeal of the
league to president Wilson to act aa
mediator In the Armenian situation
appears to be one of hope without
expectation that the United States
will relieve Europe and tbe league of
an embarrassing question.
Behind the admitted necessity of
doing something for Armenia there is
a conflict of European Interests in-
volved. Great Britain. It is under-
stood would look with great disfavor
on intervention by any power 'having
rival interests. Action by the United
States in Armenia It is held would
involve no such complications.
France Hay Arbitrate.
In default of action by president
Wilson genera opinion here is that
France is the country most likely to
offer favorable reply to the mediation
appeal made by the council of the
league yesterday to the various
powers at the same time the message
to president Wilson was sent. Ac-
ceptance by France however it is un-
derstood would be on condition of
full support by tbe other powers.

Mr. Pesquelra's letter was made
public by the state department with
comments by Mr. Colby which said
that a few points remained to be

to discuss the substance of the reply

The tendency of the assembly of

ing In Geneva to poatxxine considera-
tion of amendments to the ooven&nt
until after president Harding shall
have been laaugorated was received
in Washington by friends of senator
Harding as confirmation of the re-
peated statements that the nations of
the world would always be ready to
form a new association with the
United States aa an associate in the
enterprise.
senator liarding's xnends insist
that durine the campaign he was
frequently misrepresented by political
opponents on the subject of the league
of nations. When he spoke of a new
association the senator meant to be
understood aa conveying the Idea that
be didn't care whether the present
machinery were revised and modified
or a new institution created so long ;
as the objection about features of ar-
ticle 19. Its guarantees of territorial
Integrity and implications if military
force were entirely eliminated.
When be speaks of the lergue be-
ing 'dead." or when he refe. s. as he
did at Des Moines last August to
turning his buck on obligations he
means article 1. His friends there-
fore declare that aa in international
conference has been brought about by
the present league and nerotiatien is

Nevertheless they say when Mr.
Harding formulates his program the
changes ne win suggest to omer
countries will be fundamental and
that thev will absolutely alter the
character of tbe covenant so that the

The Illinois senator amera
other members of the irreconcilable
group in that he sees the necessity
of some sort of world association in
which America shall play a part in
hsr own way. Incidentally consid-
erable pressure is being brought to
bear upon president-elect Harding to
persuade him to move for a revision
of tbe peace treaty itself.
There Is no doubt that If senator
Knox were made secretary of state he
would endeavor to separate the peace
treaty from the world association
idea so that the United States would
never be obligated to participate in
the enforcement of the treaty.
Whether such a separation win be
practicable is a moot point. So many
compromises were worked out in
Paris that soma of the r. trans which
have most at stake would fear a re-
opening of one question would lead
to tangled situations on another aad
thus to political crisis throughout
