Arms Conference
Wrestles With
Far East Problem
Delegation Head of Nine
Power Go Into Conference
To Outline Respective
Policies.
Washington, Nov. 17. (By The
Aocuted l'res.) Headi of the
delegations of the nine' powers par
ticipating in discussion of far eaitf rn
quetiom at a meeting today decided
to proceed first with the considera
tion of problem! relating to China
before entering upon other far east
ern questions.
! The other Questions, it was decided.
" will be taken up in the order listed
by the tentative agenda suggested
ome time ago Cy the American gov
ernment.
Washington. Nov. 17. (By The
Associated Press.) Preliminary
reconnoitering gave way to more di-
red negotiation today in the endeav-
t ors of the armament conicrence 10
find a solution for the problems of
the far east.
Sitting as a special committee on
the far eastern situation, the heads
-. of the nine delegations went into
conference to outline the respective
policies by which each will be guided
and to work out a plan of procedure
that will give each of these policies a
j, lair snow.
Basil of Exchanges.
The 10 points presented yesterday
by China with the general backing
. of the United Mates formed the basis
of today's exchanges, which were
designed to develop step by step the
. exact attitude of the nine delegations.
No one expected this process to go
. very far at today s meeting, although

ine opinion ot the American dele-
gation, which appeared to have con

- tives of the other powers, was that

Inderjendent Pathwava.
With Mrlav's miwincr th
ern discussions and those relating to
armament reduction lipcin tn fnllnur
im ciy ijiucjjciiutiii pauiways, ami
there was a growing impression that
sooner or later all the interested na
tions would come around to the view
that the fortunes of the two are not
inseparably linked. The United
States from the first has felt that
solution of the far east questions
would be a great aid in preserving
peace, but the American delegates
apparently do not feel that the
armaments program need be a fail
ure it the far eastern discussions fall
short of an agreement.

British Naval Experts
Consider U. r rooosals
Three or four days must elapse be
fore the British committee which is
considering the subject ; of naval
armaments will be able to conclude
its work. This committee,' which is
headed by Arthur J. Balfour, head
)i the British delegation, and in
cludes all the British delegates, is
working hard in daily sessions with
the assistance of a number of the
British naval experts upon the
American proposal.
Regarding the point that bas been
made in favor of the American plan
that by favoring submarines, rather
than expensive battleships, weaker
utions may be placed on a plane of
iquality as such means of defense
will be within their financial re
sources, it is explained in authorita
tive quarters that the British object
decidedly to any plan that would
tend to cheapen wars, and thereby
render them more likely to occur.
The British suggestion that each
of the naval powers retain at least
one naval building yard capable of
turning out one ship a year does not
appear to be understood by Ameri
can naval officers particularly fa
miliar with construction problems.
There w&.t no stipprstmn in u
American limitation proposals that
any yards be scrapped, and so far as
r.ivy yard facilities in this country
are concerned, all will be needed, it
is said, in the maintenance and repair
France Would Aid China
Realize Its Aspirations
The French attitude in a general
way toward the far eastern propos
als of China was set forth after a
two-hour conference of Premier
Briand and other members of the
delegation today as follows:
.1- France desires earnestly to
aid China in realizing its aspirations,
territorial, political and commercial.
2. France would give Kouang
Tcheou, which it leased from China
in 1898, provided Great Britain gave
ip Wei Hei Wei and Japan Shan
Jung, leased by the Germans at the
lame time, and the Port Arthur
ven insula.
3. France would not be un
willing to surrender its extra-territor-al
privileges were other powers will
ing to do the same. France gave op
these privileges in Japan in 1906 and
was in negotiation with Turkey to
give them op there in 1914 when the
war came. However, the French feel
that extra-territoriality should be
maintained until it is dear that the
Chinese republic can give adequate
leeuritT and justice to foreigners.
4. The French colony of Indo
China did cot belong to China but
to Annam. Consequently, In do
Chins, the great French colony with
25,000,000 inhabitants does not come
in the question according to the
reach point of view. If, however,
some question should be raised as
to the t-ctification of the 900-mile
Chinese rentier, the French govern
ment would be willing to dicus the
boundary.
S. France annroaches the ducui'
sions of far eastern question in
sympathy with Japans need tor
raniion and lor raw material, ine
French delegation desires under all
circumstances to take a conciliatory
and pacific role.
f. Vr.nr it fnr onn dralinffl of
the powers with China and against
any secret negotiations.
The subject of spheres of influ
ence beyond Indo-China does not
seem to be a serious one becau.e
th policy of spheres of influence
wsi replaced more than 10 years
sco by the policy of the consortium
ol powers.
Kato Allowed Time to
Examine China's Plea
Admiral Bsron Kato, on behalf of
the Japanese delegation to the Wash
ington conference, today sked and
received from the hands of the dele
gations of the nine participating pow
ers a delay of several days to allow ex
amination of the far eastern propos
als submitted yesterday by China.
