Belfast, Feb. 11. (By A. P.)-Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, an nounced on arriving; from London today that he had been assured four additional battalions of troops would be sent to Belfast immediately. He said he had set no time limit cn the British action to secure the release of the unionist prisoners taken in the recent raids. This state ment was supplementary to his decla ration before leaving London that in the event of failure of the British authorities to secure .the release of the kidnaped men he would carry out his own plans. j "We have to consider the whole situation carefully," he said. Shooting occurred in the North Quecnstreet area of Belfast this morning. Police reinforcements were sent to the scene. Favor Free Act. Dublin, Feb. 11. The text of the Trish free state act of 1922, now be fore the British parliament, is highly approved among the supporters of the peace treaty between Great Brit ain and Ireland. The bill sets up a legislature and an executive responsi ble to it for the exercise of 'all the powers within the treaty's scope. The legislature will have the power not only to deal with the constitution, but with all other business. . The main point of discussion now concerns Ulster. Under the treaty Ulster has one month after ratifica tion of the act to decide whether to Join southern Ireland and a boundary committee will follow Ulster's re fusal to join. The next meeting of the Bail Eireann, fixed for February 21. is ex pected to be the last. The election campaign will begin forthwith. The meeting called by Eamon De Valera and his followers for next Sunday in Dublin is to be the first of a series of mass meetings at which addresses will be delivered by the supporters of both sides of the controversy, . Michael Collins issued a reply to Mr. De Valera's statement of Thurs day night, saying he cordially agrees that the issue must be submitted to the people. According to Mr. De Valera's statement, the suggestion of a constitutient assembly was a clever move on the part of Premier Lloyd George, but, says Mr. Collins, "it was my own proposal." If the peo ple are invited to reject the treaty, Mr. Collins says, they should be told what is the alternative policy. Missing Arbuckle Witness Believed in New Orleans ! San Francisco, Feb. 11.

Arms Conference Pacts Rest on "State of Mind" Report of American Delegation Laid Before Senate Says Accomplishments of Conclave Must Be Con sidered as Whole, Since Each Contributes to Combination of Conditions. By The Aaaoclata4 rnu. Washington, Feb. 11. The arm conference treaties submitted for ratification yesterday by President Harding are declared by the Amer ican delegation in their report to him to rest upon a new international "state of mind," which substitute mutual faith for suspicion and ap prehension. The report, a 90-pagc printed document, was laid before the sen ate by Mr. Harding along with the treaties. It review the conference negotiations, contains abstracts from treaties and resolutions approved, and quotes at length from various "declarations" and speeches made in committee or plenary session. The delegation declares that to appraise correctly the accomplish ments they must be considered as a whole, since each contributes to a combination of conditions "inwhich peaceful security will take the place of competitive preparation for war. "The summary continues: Competition State of Mind. "The declared object was, in its naval aspect, to stop the race ot competitive building of warships. Competitive armament, however, is the result of a state oi mind, io stop competition it is necessary to teal ' with the state of mind from which it results. A belief in the pacific intentions of other powers must be substituted for suspicion and apprehension. "The four-power treaty itself was the expression of that new state of mind. It terminated the Anglo-Jap anese alliance and substituted friend ly conference in place ot wars as the first reaction from any contro versies which might arise in the re gion of the Pacific. It would not have been possible except as part ot a plan including a limitation and a reduction of naval armaments, but that limitation and reduction would not have been possible without the new relations established by the four-power treaty -or something equivalent to it. -' Understanding Essential. "The new relations declared in the four-power treaty could not, how ever, inspire confidence or be rea sonably assured of continuance with out a specific understanding as to the relations of the powers to China. Such an understanding had two aspects. One related to securing fairer treat ment of China and the other related to the competition for trade and in dustrial advantages in China between the outside powers. "An agreement covering both these grounds in a rather fundamental way was embodied in the first article of the general nine-power treaty re garding China. In order, however, to bring the rules set out in that article out of the realm of mere ab stract propositions and make them practical rules of conduct, it was necessary to provide for applying them so far as the present conditions of government and social order in China permit. This was done by the remaining provisions of the general nine-power treaty and Chinese cus toms treaty and the series of formal resolutions adopted by the confer ence in its plenary sessions and the formal declarations made a part of the record of the conference." Quotes President. At the beginning of the report the delegation recounts the diplomatic steps leading up to the conference, quotes from the president's opening address and sets forth the manner in which the conference was organized. It says regarding publicity: "While the sessions of the commit tees were not public, a complete record was kept of all their proceed' ings and at the close of each session of the committee on armament and on Pacific and far eastern questions, respectively, a communique was made to the press, which generally stated all that had taken place in the committee and in ail cases, set forth whatever matters of importance had received attention." , Excerpts from the report as it touched on specific subjects under negotiation, follow: Limitation of Land Armament. "So far as the army of the Unit ed States is concerned, there was no question presented. The British empire has also reduced its land forces to a minimum. The situation on the continent was vividly depict ed by M. Briand. "Further consideration made it quite clear that no agreement for the limitation of land forces could be made at this time." Limitation of Naval Armament. "It was obvious that no agreement for limitation was possible if the powers were not content to take as a basis their actual existing nav al strength. Accordingly, when the argument was presented by Japan that a ratio more favorable to Ja pan than that assigned by the Amer ican plan should be adopted, the answer was made that if Japan was entitled to a better ratio upon the basis of actual existing naval strength, it should be, but other wise could not be, accepted. "Before assenting to this ratio 5-5-3 the Japanese government de sired assurances with regard to the increase of fortifications and naval bases in the . Pacific ocean. It was insisted that the capital ship ratio proposed by the American govern ment could not be regarded as ac ceptable by the Japanese govern ment if the government of the United States should fortify or es tablish additional naval bases in the Pacific ocean. The United States, the British empire and Japan made an agreement that the status quo would be maintained. British Object.

It was deemed to be inadvisable thu to hamper the development of facility which could not fail to be Important in the progre of civilization.' Pacific and Far Eist Question. ''When the conference was called there existed with rcgiri ti the far eastern cause of misunderitauding and ource of controvmy which constituted a serioti potential dan ger. These dithcultie centered prin cipally about China, where the de velopment of the past quarter of a century had produced a situation in which international rivalries, jeal ousies, distrust and untagouUm were fostered. A "situation had been created in which the Chinese people nursed a lense of grievance and even of out rage and the foreign nation found their relation complicated by mutual suspicion and resentment "It may be dated that one of the most important factor in the far eastern situation was the Anglo Japanese alliance. Originally de signed as a measure of protection in view of the policies of Russia and Germany in far eastern affairs, the continuance of the alliance after all peril from those soucrs had ceased could not fail to be regarded as ser iously prejudicial to our interests. Without reviewing the reason for this disquietude, it was greatly in creased by the 'state of international tension' which had arisen in the Pa cific area. Alliance Terminated. "It was a matter of the greatest gratification that the American dele gation found that they were able to obtain an agreement by which the Anglo-Japanese alliance should be immediately terminated. No great er step could be taken to secure the unimpeded influence of liberal opin ion in promoting peace in the Pacific region. Four-Power Treaty. "The parties do not agree to give any support to claims, but only to respect the rights that actually ex ist. When controversies arise, the powers merely agree to confer to gether concerning them.
