Jap
anese Favor
Pact to Avoid
War With America
Delegates Advocate General
Arbitration Treaty a In
su we Againat Future
- Conflicts in Pacific.
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNINO.
Washington, Dec. J. A general
arbitration treaty between the Uni
led States and Japan, at insurance
againat war in the. Pacific, U being
advocated by members of the Japan
ese delegation.
This development follows closeli-
ii'ion the Japanese suggestion that
the prospective agreement on the
'eduction and . limitation of arma
ment should he embodied in a for-
mis! treaty ratified by. the United
states. Great Britain and Japan.
President Harding previously had
made it known that there would be
t;o objection on the part of the
American government to a treaty
on the navy reduction plan which
he had no doubt would be ratified
by the senate and carried into ef
fect by congress with little opposi
tion. . .
i'he United States would also wel
come proposals by Japan as to
general arbitration treaty. There is
a treaty between the two powers
now tor me reference to the Hague
tribunal of disputes not involving
vital interests and the Japanese sue-
yettion involves ah arbitration trea-
y ty of broader scope.
Japan' Missing. '
t . . . .
jpan is conspicuously ' missing
-iron tne list ot about 30 nations
. vvmch, beginning. In 1914, entered in
to trif Bryan peace insurance trea
t.es. which provide for applying a
oiling on process to internation
al disputes. The signatories cbligan
themselves not to go to war pending
uiscussion ot tne controrersey by
conmission
Japan never accepted the Bryan
treaty, but it is . alleged, that the
United States never pressed it to
c-o so. Members pt, the Japanese
cic-li-gation expressed regret at the
laniire Of Tokio to follow the ex
arnp.e of the other allies in accept
ing uie , Bryan .treaty and tnt.ir.ate
that their government -s now ready
t-ctify the mistake. ' ,
One spokesman for the -Jane
delegation said fenel a--hiirati;ii
htU ftn Japan i'A the United States
would be the best'possible insurance
. agfinst war in the Pacific and would
iral;e the ' continuation of the An-f'o-Japanese
alliance unnecessary
This is as close as any of the Ja
panese bave come to admitrii.g that
the Anglo-Japanese alliance is now
regarded by Japan as a measure oi
protection in the', event' of trouble
with the I "nlted States. The Japa
nese have steadily disputed the -on-tennon
t.iat with Germany and llu.
.ia down and ' put. the al'ianco is
now aimed at xi United States.
, Senate, Nat' Vavorable
The senate has 'fiot ' looked with

The Anglo-Japanese alliance con
tains a provision tfcat neither party
shall be obligated to go to the de
fense of the other against a nation
with which it has a general arbitra
tion ircaty.' - Although the Knox
treat failed,. Great Britain notified
, Japan that the Bryan treaty would
be construed as a general arbitration
treaty so far as the terms of the
alliance were concerned.

French Premier Outlines Re
sults of Visit to United
States Given Recep
, tion at Havre.
Havre, Dec, 3. Premier Briand of
France, returned home yesterday on
the ateamer Paris from the arms
conference at Washington. A recep
tion was tendered in his behalf at the
city hall.
The premier, in an address, out.
1 ned the results of his mission,!
which he declared had been most
successful. -
"I went to Washington," he said,
"bearing a lawyer's brief in pleading
the cause of France. The most
mediocre lawyer could have pleaded
it successfully. I have full con
tidjpee iii the future."
He left for Paris at noon.
' "France could not have been ab
sent from a gathering such as that
calfcd by President Harding for re
lieving the military burdens wnicn
weigh so heavily on the people and
which, after such a cruel war, called
for relief," the premier declared.
He referred to his speeches in the
United States in which he showed
that , when liberty was in danger
France at all times had fought for
it and never failed in its task.
France Attacked. .
In the last war France had been
provoked and attacked and it was
only sufficient for him to recall this
fact in America to have the justice
of France's cause recognized.
"I did not doubt," he continued,
"the noble and generous American
people. I knew well that every at
tempt to disgrace France, to turn
America away ' from us, to paint
France as a perpetual 'kill-joy', and
the cause of the uneasiness the world
feels I knew well that this all would
be dissipated by plain statements of
facts. But yet, I must say that at
the solemn meeting it was not with
out emotion that I spoke, for it was
the tribune from which words
France never would be in moral iso
lation." M. Briand said that the representa
tives of the other countries also had
given him the same assurances and
that Secretary Hughes had declared
France could not be Isolated be
cause it was the defender of right,
liberty and justice.
Did Not Reject Proposals.
The premier said he had not re
jected any proposals made at the
conferenc for an equitable naval lim
itation. Concerning land armaments,
ho added, the situation was definite.
He declared he did not suspect the
intention of the leaden In Germany
and did not desire to believe they
were leading their people toward
"the temple of war."
M. Briand said' the words of
France had been sympathetically re
ceived in Washington and that when
he left there "some of ihe prejudices,
some of the errors which malignant
propaganda hud impressed on cer
tain minds had cleared away."
' The premier declared he was firm
ly convinced that the Washington
conference would lead to good re
sults; that nothing could result from
it which would be Intended to miti
gate against France's liberty or se
curity. "We are going through difficulties
which arose from calumnies and
other causes, but we are among
friends and allies," he declared.
