The Chinee delegation presented to the committee today a statement Mrongly urging the abolishment of the extra territorial rights and sym tathetic responses were, said to have leen voiced by the representatives of the other powers. Form of Resolution. Belief was generally expressed, however, that the rights could not be Rien tip immediately in view of con ditions in China, but that the aboli tion should come as promptly as compatible with the present situ ation and progress of China. The committee upon reaching the general agreement authorized the appointment of a subcommittee head ed by Senator Lodge of the Ameri. can delegates to present the princi ple in the concrete form of a reso lution. The subcommittee alfo will work out tre details of the surrender by the powers of their rights. This task will include the consideration of a number of treaties and for that leason the time required for its ac complishment was problematical. The committee of the nine powers also took up at today's session the question of the Chinese postal serv ice and discussed the details in that connection until after 1 o'clock, when it was decided that the committee should conclude its sitting for the day and resume tomorrow morning. Net decision was taken regarding Chinese posts. Favor Annuling Pact. Some members of the diplomatic advisory council at Tokio, according to information reaching prominent Japanese now in Washington, but not members of the official armament conference delegation, are in favor of go'ng to the limit of annuling the 1913 treaty with China, known some times as the "21 demands," and of arranging with China a new treaty 'by which Japan would be permitted to extend the lease of the south Manchuria railway as well as Port Arthur and Mukden. The right to these leases is said to he regarded by Japanese as the legitimate fruit of the war with Russia and not a result of Japan's ultimatum to China in con nection with the "21 demands."

She is prepared on this ground to realize with her allies the same proportion of reductions. "Consequently, in the sum totals of her national defense (laud army and sea army) it can -be said that France will have made an effort at re duction superior to that of any other nation, and merit will be greater be cause she is in veritable danger,. "Our English friends ought to recognize the. fact that the German fleet is at the bottom of the sea and that consequently it is no longer a menace either for England or for us. But the 7,000,000 men of the German army are still there, very much alive and available. This is a fact that France must realize and consider." May Adjourn for Christmas. Washington, Nov, 25.

(CoatlRUt4 r roro Tag On.) an important-state function. In the spring of 1921 the emperor broke an ancient Japanese tradition by sending the crown prince on a visit to Europe. It was reported at that time that his proposed tour abroad was due to an intrigue to annul his engage tnent to marry the l'rincess Ligako, About this time there was a move ment to have him declared prince regent owing to the long continued illness of his father. Before he sailed for Europe it was announced in Tokio that his wedding would take plac after he returned from abroad. In the spring of 1921 the prince visited England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Holland and Italy the first Japanese prince who ever left his native country. He w is ac companied by Admiral Togo, whe for a number of years had directed his education. He was made an honorary general in the British army and a knight of the Order of the Bath by King George and was entertained by the royal houses of the other nations and received in audience by Tope Benedict. Says Japan Has Much To Learn From West Washington. Nov. 25. (By The Associated Press.) The announce- inent from iokio ot the regency ot Hirohito was expected in Japanese circles here as the recent tour of the crown prince to Europe gener ally was understood to have been the first step in the court arrange ment to give Hirohito the conduct of the empire because of the continued illness of the emperor. RepresentativeJapanese today em phasized how much this, visit to western countries had meant for Japan. It was recalled that when the crown prince returned to Tokio he made a memorable speech to the people in which he frankly admitted that Japan had much to learn from western countries and that all the subjects of the empire must strive their utmost to bring Japan to the high aevelopment necessary for her national progress. Only 20 Years Old. The regent, who is only 20, has already accomplished a great deal in establishing a more liberal under standing between the imperial court and the people of the empire. He has already abandoned the ancient idea of imperial aloofness and in stnk.-ng contrast to the earlier days when Japanese were not supposed to gaze upon their emperor, Hiro hito has recently appeared at various public meetings in quite an informal manner and had made a number of speeches. Japanese here assert that the re sponsibility of having Japan emerge from the olden days to the present libera movement, as regards the court, 'is, however, in the hands of Viscount Makino of the imperial household, who was one of Japan's delegates at the Versailles confer ence. Makino's Task. Viscount Makino has before him the task of meeting, the wishes of modern Japan with ' its democratic tendencies without offending the old court nobles who are inclined to re sist too many innovations. It is the understanding here among Japanese that the immediate reason for the regency is the conviction that the emperor is incurably ill and is quite unable to carry on the- duties of the throne.

Marshal Foeh One of Largest Crowds Ever Assembled in Dulnique Creels Him. Dubuque, la., Nov. 2S.-(By The Associated Press.) Marshal Ferdi nand Foch of France was officially welcomed to Iowa here this morn ing by one of the largest crowds tliat ever gathered in Dubuque. Thousands of persons were at the Chicago Sl Great Western station at 9:10 a. m. when the special train arrived. A demonstration of wel come lasted several minutes and was joined by several bands.

Dubuque was settled in 1785 by Julian Dubuque, a Frenchman.

Substitute for League Of Nations Is Proposed (Continued From Tag One.) armies. Its committee on disarma ment reported to the last session of the league that it had failed to make any progress in this direction be cause the nations are in no mood to forego arming. The league likewise has proved a complete failure so far as its elabor ate machinery for preventing and stopping wars is concerned. Harding Confident. The president is supremely confi dent of the success of the conference on limitation of armaments and be lieves that such success will lead to the inauguration of an annual gath ering of the nations around the council board to discuss the affairs of the world and the improvement of world conditions. That would be the association of nations he ad vocates and if the method of the present conference proves a better and more efficient way of dealing with world questions than the way of the league of nations, he wiJJ be disappointed if it should not be per petuated. . If the president's idea should be adopted the league of nations, it is believed, would be scrapped even tually, save possibly as an agency to administer and enforce the peace term of the? world war. As to whether any of the agree ments reached , by the present con ference will take the form of trea ties, the president, it is said, is un able to tell at this time. He would be just as well satisfied, although he has not attempted to express the wishes of the delegates to th con ference, if whatever understanding is reached merely took the form of agreements, believing that this should be as binding on nations as a treaty. If the world has reached a stage of civiliztion where nine nations can sit around the conference table and reach agreements in that way, Pres ident Harding is said to be perfectly satisfied to see international prob lems settled in that manner.

No member ol congress seems to have been able to develop any enthusiasm over the bill and most of them voted for the con ference report only because it was better than existing laws.
