State Department
Favors Principle
Of Chinese Plan
Proposal for Permanent Court
Of Arbitration Only Point
Upon Which Hughes
Does Not Agree.
By PHILIP KINSLEY.
Washington. Nov. 17. China'
i proposal of the general principles
. under which the tar eastern issue
' are to be determined is. in effect, the
attitude-of the American State de-
. partment toward this problem. The
' program was discussed in detail with
; Mr. Hughes before it was lubmitted
to the committee and the move was
' made with his knowledge and con
' sent.
In one point only, it is understood,
: did Mr. Hughes disagree with the
Chinese delegates in the preparation
of the formula. This related to the
, last proposal of the Chinese, that a
permanent court ol arbitration be
1 set up in the far east to which all the
nations would be obligated to take
their disputes concerning China.
It is said that Mr. Hughes did not
like to commit this government to a
; permanent arrangement by which it
would always be tangled in the
. Asiatic affairs of other nations. The
' m Chinese are insistent on this clause,
" hoping' to get at' least a commission
, , of the kind formed to discuss affair
between Great Britain and America.
- Japan feels it is on trial and
' wants to get public opinion back of
it in its position of special inter
ests in Manchuria. To this end its
agents have been working in Eng.
lain! and Amrrica and are working
hard today, The application of the
iirs. two or three points In the
Chinese formula would drive Japan
out of Manchuria. The Chinese
made the specific point that . the
CI inese republic includes the outer
territories embraced in the old Man
chu dynasty, and that sets the stage .
tor the conflict.

Made Aside From Far East

tne director general to invite the co,

progressing in a most promising
way. Indeed, we had converted
more than $100,000,000 of railway
notes into cash. The moment the
higher surtax became a likely levy,
these conversions ceased.
Capital Diverted.
"Manifestly the prohibitive surtax
tends to divert our available and. j
niucn needed capital from employ?

investments in tax free securities.

rightful place in a peace-time policy.
"I am well ctovinced that a fair
compromise between the rates adpptr

possible solution of the situation, and

By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Washington, N'ov. 17. An agree
ment or the reduction and limitation

ing the outcome of discussion of
I'acific and far eastern questions was
foreshadowed by developments yesterday,
Jt transDired that the American

foreign plenipotentiaries the willing,
nets of the United States to sign an
international armament restriction
compact at oon as it is framed,
without regard to the status of dis
cussions on the other questions be
tore tne conterence.
The British delegation resDonded
that it is ready to take the same
course.
Japan Ready to Sign.
The Japanese delegation welcomed
the suggestion of the American dele
gation, Admiral Baron Kato, head of
the delegation, stating that Japan is
ready to sign an agrement on the
imitation ot naval armament based
on the Hughes proposals without
making acceptance contingent upou
the adjustment of differences on the
problems of the Pacific and the far
cast
Early Agreement Expected.
The utmost confidence prevails that
within two or three weeks at most, an
agreement will be reached reconcil
ing the differences as to details of
the naval holiday proposals. There
will be much discussion of the aU
tentative prpposali made by Great
Britain and Japan, but in the end a
compromise representing coucctsioiif
by all parties.
Whether an actual navul holiday
would be achieved it the Bntuh
suggestions should be accepted is
one of the questions upon which the
attention of the world is being cen
tered. Air. iiallour expressed the
fear that if no capital ships were
built for 10 years there would be no
ship yards a decade hence equipped
to. build battleships, and he thought
facilities should be nrcscrved for
constructing one ship a year.

Proposed Change
OfD.LD.PutOff
Saline County Also Consider
Changing Hoad But Post
; pone Action.
Geneva, Neb,, Nov. 17. (Special.)
No action was taken yesterday by
the board of supervisors regarding
the change in the D. L. 1). for the
purpose of eliminating grade cross
nigs. Residents of the eastern part
tit the county contend the change
would involve much expense for
bridges and construction and that
the present road has been used for so
many years it has become a splendid
highway. Saline County Commis
sioners Davidson and Gerner were
present at yesterday a meeting of the
i'lllmore board, baline county is con
sidering a change in the road to
Crete to meet the road at the county
line if the D. L. D. it altered as pro
posed in this county. The new route
would do away with four, railroad
grade crossings that have been
menace to safety of motorists and
caused several fatalities.
On the other hand, the new high.
way would be a straight road, And
it is claimed that when curves and
deviations are absent the temptation
to more speed is overpowering and
might result in as many accidents
as would be caused by crossings.
