NOVEMBER 20. 1021. 5-A Jap Delegates Noncommittal on Chinese Demand Prince Tokugawa Say Fcople Are Desirous of Doing Everything Possible for Sister Nation. By PHILIP KINSLEY. Washington, Nov. 19. China's bill of rights or the 10 points which it l!ks the conference powers to accept as guiding all future relations with that republic, will be diverted in executive session today by tne tun committee of delegates. Japan's altitude was indicated last nieht bv Prince Tokimawa. "I think our people at home are , most desirous of doing all they can for the benefit of China," he said.. "But they do not wish to do any. thing disadvantageous to Japan." The prince speaks excellent Eng lish, but sometimes is in doubt as to the exact meaning of words. When the word "disadvantageous was re. neated to him. he said that "detri mental" might be substituted. The vice minister of foreign affair a, Mr, Hanihara, who was seated beside him, said that the prince meant that Japan was friendly to China, but ' would look out lor her own legiti mate riehts." " Under the Chinese proposals Japan would be forced to jeopardize , all the treaties and legal rights em bodied in the 21 demands. Point four is aimed at the bhantting and Manchuria, treaties signed since the war. It seem highly improbable, under the prince's statement, that ijapan would consent to this. There- Hort reservations or amendments may be offered. . ' Ask For Guarantee. It was reported 1st night that Ja pan has approached China outside the conference, asking for a guaran tee that its access of raw materials will not be closed. This is denied and is probably untrue, as such a guaran tee by the Peking government could mean little. Prince Tokugawa was asked if China's proposals had been accepted "in principle." . "On that I think the time has not arrived for us to say," he replied, after exchanging a few words in .Japanese with Mr. Hanihara. "We , are considering the subject in a friendly spirit to China. It is such an important question." "Will you have any other propos als on China to offer tomorrow?" "None whatever." "Will you consider naval disarma ment aside from the Chinese ques tion?" . " "I think so." Considering Fortifications. "Have you taken up the question of the Pacific fortifications of Amer ica and Japan?" "We are considering that question j at present." "Is it true that you have agreed to I- withdraw from Shantung uncondi : tionally?" "I will not discuss that now." i "Are you prepared to make a pub- lie statement on the Chinese ques ; tion?" "We are considering that carefully. I cannot say when it will be made." "What about your attitude on the , open door?" "We entirely agree in the policy of the open door for China." "Do you see any contradiction be tween' that policy and the claim of special interests set up by Japan under the Lansing-Ishii agreement?" "I see no contradiction." "What are Japan's special inter ests in China?" There was no reply to this and as the' questioning was getting warm, the prince's advisers suggest ed that he withdraw;, , Want Court or Forum. The Chinese will make every tU 1 fort to get this conference to agree to set up some Kino, or a commis sion or make arrangements for other conferences at intervals of one or two years to check up on the agree ments which , are expected to be made here. They want some kind ti a court or forum through which they can put specific cases of viola tion of the agreement, if any. They have had enough of pious formulas which mean nothing and which are never carried outl It is the French view, too, that an other conference at least, will be ' necessary to iron out this Pacific situation, . although the American delegates who are supposed to stand behind the Chinese 10 points, take the attitude that the situation should be settled now. - China will not ask for abrogation of treaties made before the war or which were legalized by the Chinese people. The delegation will insist that Manchuria, Mongolia and Thi bet are part of the Chinese republic. Great Britain is willing to gtve tip Wei-Hei-Wei, the port in Shan tung, but regards Hongkong as hav ing a separate status. British policy aims at aiding the' rehabilitation of China in every possible way. Extra territorial rights will be given up when China shows itself able to pro tect British clitizeos.

Declares Underseas ' Boats Arc Weapons of Weak Hints Naval Operations in Next War May Be Revolutionized by In troduction of New Combat Factors. By HENRY WALES. Washington, Nov, I"). Aligning solidly beside the United States, France yesterday took decisive i-isue with Britain regarding further lim itation of submarines in the naval disarmament discussions. Shifting to land armaments, France intimated xlhat if it were of fered suitable Kiiarantces from the other great powers, it would be will ing to reduce hs army materially. I rentier Aristide Briand. who enunciated France's policy to news paper correspondents, demanded a new entente cordiale, for the Pacific and far east, which might eventually be stretched to the Rhine and to Russia. M. Briand first announced that he would deliver a 45-minute speech at the plenary session of the conference on Monday morning. He will speak in l-rench, extemporaneously, fol lowing his custom, and there will be Pomerene Scores Elections Body In Newberry Case Says Senate Committee Block ed All Efforts to Gather Pertinent Testimony in ' . Its Investigation. Washington, Nov. 19. Declaration by Senator Pomerene, democrat. Ohio, that he would resign if tvl dence such as that submitted against Senator Newberry were adduced against him, marked further .consid eration by the senate of Henry Ford's contest of Mr. Newberry's seat as senator Irom Michigan. Asked by Senator Walsh, demo crat, Montana, what his action would be if he had violated no, laws, the Ohio senator replied: "If I were innocent, I'd fight the battle of my life" for my rights; I would not remain silent." Mr. Pomerene chanced that ma jority members of the senate elec tions committee presided over by Senator Spencer, republican, Mis souri, had blocked all efforts to gath er pertinent testimony in its investi gation of the case. He asserted that if the committee had' wished to be "fair" it would have subpoenaed Mr. Newberry and also would have at tempted to get facts about the New berry funds in the campaign by call ing officers of banks which had New berry accounts. Mr. Spencer denied that Mr. New berry was afraid to appear before the committee , or that the committee feared to call the senator because his testimony might hurt his case. On the contrary, Mr. Jspencer argued, Mr. Newberry, as well as most of the republican members of the com mittee, regarded the Michigan sena tor's presence as unnecessary. Mr. Pomerene again assailed the campaign expenditures, asserting that Mr. Newberry knew all about them and that the senator was responsible tor the acts ot his agents.

Marshal Foch will be present as a military expert at Monday's session and although lie is not set down for an address, it is understood that con gress, which will occupy the balcony of Continental Memorial hall, is pre paring a demonstration and will call on hint to speak. In exposing hi government's viewpoint to journalists this eve. niug, weighing his words as he took direct issue with Great Britain on the submarine problem which threat ens to deadlock the conference, M. Briand saids "The submarine is the weapon of the weak. We cannot take the same view about submarines as the Brit ish, because it is impossible to for see the exact character of future naval warfare. Consequently France cannot take the engagements regard ing submarines that the British sug gest." M. Briand's hint that naval opera tions in the next war may be revolu tionized by introduction of new com bat factors aroused considerable In terest, as this is not the first time that mysterious inventions, making present types of warships obsolete, have been mentioned in conference circles. '. Planning New Submarines. The, statement was also significant in view of cabled reports from Paris yesterday that 'the naval committee of the French senate has just asked credits for construction of 24 new submarines of an improved type. .'. "If the., peoples will come to our assistance' if we are wantonly at-, tacked, we can reduce our land aimaments. It is no pleasure for France to spend money on- armies," said M. Briand, intimating . that he will try one more bid for guarantees from the great powers against Germany.
