MAS NO SAY
China Not to Hove a Voice
in the Coming Peace
Conference
WASHINGTON China's request to
bo represented In tho Washington con
ference on tho ground that It is vitally
Interested in Us proceedings, has been
recolvcd by tho president and Infor
mally transmitted to tho belligerents.
Whether tho president has received
tho formal replies cannot bo learned,
but It can be stated that whllo Russia
is inclined to favor tho suggestion,
Japan will not consent to it Japan
has already mado public its assurance
that Manchuria is to bo restored to
China. That Is ono of tho principles
for which It says it has been fighting.
Japan regards Itself on fullly capablo
of executing this promise wlth6ut tho
assistance of China and in view of
China's Inability before tho war to
copo with Russia in Manchuria, tho
Tokio government is unablo to see
what possible assistance a Chlnoso
representative would ba In tho Wash
ington conference. Moreover, tho Jap
anese havo all along taken tho posi
tion that when peace negotiations
wero begun they would bo conducted
directly with Russln. It is altogether
unlikely that tho Washington govern
ment will press tho claim of China
and the official view hero falls to
sympathlzo with tho ideaj
Tho last week has seen fow develop
ments In tho plans for tho negotia
tions. Negotiations for an armistlco
aro not expected to bo concluded until
after tho plenipotentiaries meet. It Is
pointed out again thattho beginning
of tho rainy season in tho war zones
romoves tho necessity for tho imme
diate signing of an armistice. Little
doubt is felt, however, that this will
bo tho first subject discussed by tho
plenipotentiaries and probably their
initial aot will bo tho slgnlhg of a pro
tocol providing for tho cessation of
hostilities for a limited period.
Baron Rosen will go to Now York
within tho next few days nnd thenco
to Oyster Bay to be presented to tho
president Meantime ho Is In dally

talks with Count Casslni, who posted
him each step In tho negotiations up
to tltls moment No placo has yet been
finally selected for tho holding of tho
conferenco, but this Baron Rosen will
discuss with tho president on Thurs
day. Expecting that some placo In
Now England would certainly bo se
lected, Baron do Rosen choso Man
