Tsao BRITAIN APPEALS T POWERS TO FOLLOW HER IN CHINA (By a Staff Correspondent | WASHINGTON, April 3—It has heen reliably ascertained that Great Britain quite recently circularized Washington, Paris, Rome, Tokio and | even Madrid, in an effort to effect a} common policy in dealing with the Chinese problem. With the exception of Rome, it is understood that the British received little satisfaction. Paris, Tokio and Madrid are understood to have re- jected the proposal entirely: The United States, under the tremulous direction of Coolidge and Kellogg, were, not altogether unsympathetic, although the British plan was not agreed to. Britain's Old Game Great Britain*has been at work for months in an effort to unite other Great Powers with her in her “force- ful stand” policy in China. Partie Jarly has this been true with regard; to the United States. It is well known that the British are desperately eager to secure the cooperation’ of the United States. From one authorita- tive source it was declared that sev- | eral weeks ago the British informed Kellogg that they would be willing to go any reasonable length to bring about a coalition of interests. It was even stated that the British intimated that if the United States were willing to join in the proposal a position of closer cooperation during a military’ matter rather than diplo- aided.by the international bankers, the cecurved In 1917, the United States was deliberate campaign of forcing the na- tier American counsellor to the Japan- | 0 ALL ROBBER tionary governments had drifted into | the last ten days.

The conference was held at the University of Chi- cago March 25-27 under the un- official steering of the Y. M. C. A. Sixty student delegates of almost a dozen nationalities participated. The object of the conierencé was to seek a basis for better relations among the people and nations in the Pacific area. If clearer understand- ing of the bitter things orientals are thinking about American policy helps along better relations the conference was a success.
