MAY YET ADOPT
AMERICAN PLAN
Question of Permanent Con
gress Will Be Referred
to Committee for
Action.
By PAYNE DAVIS.
The Hague, June 18.—When the eec-
end session of the eecond Hague peace
conference la held tomorrow (he com
mittees that will direct the work of
the conference will be appointed. So
far only four commltteea have been de
cided upon. These will have charge,
respectively, of the questions of ar
bitration, war, the Geneva convention
and neutrality. It Is possible that other
committee! will be appointed, but If
they are It probably will be at later
sessions.
There Is a feeling among some of
the delegates who favor much stronger
action than is included ln the official
program that it may perhaps be best
at this conference to introduce as few
questions as possible which are liable
to create friction, so that the way may
be left open for a provision which will
have the next conference called by
representatives of all the powers in
stead of leaving, through courtesy, the
Initiative to a non-progressive country
like Russia.
It Is held even by those who have
been hopeful of a much greater prog
ress than .now seems probable that ln
the long run greater things can be ac-
. compllshed if the program laid down
by Russia is followed and these other
questions eliminated entirely, provided
through this course It becomes possible
to broaden the scope of future con
grosses.
The American plan for widening the
powers of The Hague tribunal and of
providing for a convening of future
conferences automatically will be pre-
serted at the proper time, and will be
referred to the committee on arbltra-
F’resldent Nelldoff announced the fol
lowing presidents of four commissions
to be named to consider various sub
jects before the conference: M. Bour
geois, France; Signor Tarnlelli, Italy;
Professor Martene, Russia; M. Hearn-
aert, Belgium. Joseph H. Choate, head
of the American delegation, declr -
one of the positions.
Trouble promises to be stirred up
at the conference regarding a demand
made by Italy that Perez Triana, the
second delegate from Colombia, be ex
cluded, because, it Is claimed, Triana
Is an anarchist from Naples.
By a decision of the delegates the
protest against Triana remaining ln his
Mat will be referred to the deputies of
the government to be dealt with.
