London, August 29. Colonel House, formerly Ex-President Wilson's most confidential adviser, had breakfast with Mr. Lloyd George at Downing Street, ut which various matters connected with the economic and facial condition of Europe were discussed. This, following the interview which the former Presidential candidate, Governor Cox, had with the Premier on Saturday is causing speculation.

These intimate that the Government is keeping in touch with European affairs in an informal and consistent way and is waiting for the time when it can take a more formal part in the restoration of financial stability abroad. but they represent President Harding as thinking that the time is not ripe for the United States to participate in an internation- al conference aiming at a solution of the daancial problems and that ho has no intention of sending Mr. Hoover to Europe in the capacity suggested.
