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.

France Takes Issue With .
Britain on Submarines
Premier Briand . 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.
Theatrical Producer Dies
Los Aneeles. Nov. 19. Samuel
Mayer, for many years affiliated
with eastern theatrical producers
and recently prominently identified
with the motion picture industry
here, died at his Hollywood home.
He had been ill for some time. .

Foch to Attend.
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.
