Support De- I spite Senate Action. > By the Assoclated Press. ] menting on Premier Briand's speeth before the Washington conference, London morning newspapers follow the respective attitudes which they have maintained toward. France’s policy in keeping a big army. There is one aection of opinion which sees in France a militaristic, revengeful spirit, and another which is distrust- Tul of Germany and conséquently re- gards France as justified in keeping prepared for a possible fresh attack. The Times, always skeptic toward Germany’'s disarmaments says: “With DISCUSS NAVY GUTS Secretary Hughes and Rep- resentatives of England and Japan Confer.

Reviewing the existing mili- tary situation in Europe, the latter . mewspaper says: “The idea of limita- | tion of land armaments by agreement is confined at present to the world of ! ideas. The matter i ; international action. the American Senate rejected the sug- gestion for a joint American-English Buarantee, she can count certainly upon the support of both of them in} ; the event of German aggression. The newspaper ‘says that when French statesmen speak of further disarming Germany one would like to know just what they mean, and what lhex ‘would wish done that has no ready been done. Aeccused of Hostility. France is accused by the same news- paper of maintaining a hostile policy toward Russia, “with the sort of hos- tility which tends to perpetuate what it_opposes.” The Washington conference, accord: ing to the Daily Express, is “among the shoals.” This newspaper sees lit- tle. hope of France placing herself “among the idealists” and says no power can expect to receive benefits from the conference unless it makes sacrifices. It adds: “If the self-denial of the powers is to be limited to the expectatign of sacrifices by others, it were better that the conference had never met. —_— OHIO BONUS REALITY. Davis Proclaims Ratified Amendment. COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 22.—By formal proclamation of' Gov. Davis the state soldiers' bonus amendment, ratified by voters at a recent state election, yesterday became a part of the Ohio constitution, The amend- ment. which provides for issuance of $25,000,000 in bonds for payment of the bonus, was passed .by an official vote of 949,109 to 324,662, it was an- nounced. * SPECIAL NOTICES.

Balfour and Ad- miral Baron Kato, heads of the delegations to the Washington con- ference, and their principal naval advisers was held yesterday after- noon following tha open session of the conference. The program for jimitation of naval, armaments was usder consideration, figures and tonnage matters as con- tained in the American plan figuring in the discussion, it is said. Re- quests for further information re- garding the details of the American plan were made, it i8 undarstood, and the foreign representa presented information complled by their own e{pertu with regard to the American plan. Assembling éf Data. After the conference Assistanf Sec- retary Roosgvelt of the Navy, Ad. miral Koontz and Rear Admiral Pratt went to the Navy Department and started the work of gathering data asked by the rbpresentatives of the two other powers. There is no change, it is said, in the position of the American delegation on the 5-5-3 ratio of naval strength, as proposed by Secretary Hughes. | They will remain firm for this ratio, i Suggestions have been made that ad- ditional vessels be allowed each of powers to maintain the ratio so down, and at the same time to permit Japan to retain the battleship Mutsu. The Japanese contend that the Mutsu was so nearly completed on the date at which the American program was advanced that she should be retained instead of being scrapped. Holiday Period the Test. The probable shape in which each of the three navies would be found at the end of the ten-year naval build- ing holiday was discussed, from a technical point of view, and a further study of these details will be made.

Following the addresses on limitations of land armament at the arms confer- ence yesterday of representatives of the nations replying to M. Briand, which {were published in substance in The| Star, Secretary Hughes in behalf of the United States spoke as follows: “I shall detain you, gentlemen, but a moment. It would not do justice to my own sentiment or to that of my colleagues of the American delega- tion if I did not, in a word, take part in this expression of the spense of privilege which has been felt in lis- tening to this brilliant, eloquent, com~ prehensive and instructive address stating the position and -policy of France. = U. 8.

It is evident from what M. Briand has said that what is essential at this time, in order that we may achieve the great ideal, is the will to peace. And there can be no hope of a will to peace until institutions of liberty and justice are secure among all peace- loving people. s 1 say, in response to a word which challenged us all as it was ut- tered by M. Briand, that there is no moral isolation for the defenders of liberty and. justice. ~We understand the difficulties; what has been said i [ will be read throughout this broad land by a people that desires to understafid.

SEEN BY HUGHES Envoys Intend to Ta}k .of Wrongs Infléfied Ml on Country in Past as Well as Pitfalls |aiive to urgency of Armament Threatening in the Future. BY JUNIUS B. WOOB. ‘With a litany adopted defining the principles to be observed in working out a solution for China, the confer- ence on far eastern problems ls fair- ly started on the troublesome sub- Jject. There may be a question whether the high principles enun- clated by Mr. Root and adopted by the powers yesterday are merely to apply to their future conduct or are also to be the standard for welgh- ing actions which now have been nctified by time and passed Into e realm of accomplished facts.| However, China/g delegates intend to talk of the w: which have been inflicted on thei®country in the past as well as about the pitfalls which threaten her in the future, and it is safe to assume that thé powers which agreed on such idealism, at the same time sane and practigal policy, as ex- pressing their “firmintention,” must practice the same unselfishness in righting past mistakes. Strikes Crux of Problem. The pledge to respect the “territorial and administrative integrity of China™ as expressed in the first resolution strikes the crux of the problem in the minds of the Chinese delegation. They want the conference to define. ‘“What is China?" Some have suggested that China be defined as that portion of Asia which is within the great wall of China. To the Chinese that suggestion is like telling an American that the original _thirteen colonies are the area of the United States. In the Chinese view not only the twenty-one provinces of China proper but Manchuria, outer| Mongolia, eastern Turkistan (Sinkiang) and Tibet are a part of China, extendi 18 to 54 degrees north and 74 to 135 degrees east. They want the confer- ence to make their definition official among the nations of the world. This means more than minor ques- tions of concessions, settlements, colo- nies, extraterritoriality and other en- croachments on China’s administrative and territorial integrity which already exist. It is at once a guarantee that the partitioning of China is to stop and a_delimination of China's boundaries. After the conference adjourns and the United States returns to its home elec- tions and hourly sensations, persistent Japan will not be able to annex Man-| churia and outer Mongolia, nor will far- @ighted Britain take Tibet and a few years later eastern Turkistan, waving aside China’s protest with an excuse that they are not a part of China. The four outer provinces are more than half the land area of a. Basis for Future Action. ‘With China defined as a basis for future action the delegates will be ready to take up the territorial and administrative infringements of the past. Concessions, settlements and foreign colonies are territorial en- croachments, but China is content to let most of them stand without ques- tion for the time being. She only asks that the powers in conference adopt as definite an agreement as possible as to the conditions under which these portions of Chinese territory may be returmed to China. . Shantung and the Lisotung lease, both held by Japan, are in a different class.. China wants a showdown on them, as both are in a way the result of the twenty-one demands forced on her when Marquis Okuma was premier of Japan. As to Shantung, there prob- Pply will not . be much argument. Japan is willing to return it, though retaining control of the railroad and certain military supervision. She probably would waive the latter per- quisites if China. would sanction special privileges for Japan in Man- churia and Mongolia and accept the ninety-nine-year extension of the Liaotung lease, “a - corollary of the twenty-one demands, as an accom- plished fact. Lease are defined as a part of China, other powers will be concerned in main- talning the open door and equal op- portunity, and it is takem out bf China's hands as a trading propes! tion. The Liaotung lease is & propo- sition between -her and Japan, but it ‘cannot fail to be a factor in_the conference. Japan received the peninsula from China as fruits of the war of 1894, but France, Ger- many and Russia forced hes to return 4t China leased It to Russia and Japan took the lease from Russia in the war of 1904.

The nineteen-letter word puts na- tionals of countries having treaty re- lations with China under the laws of their own countries. Several nations maintain their own courts, the United States has quite a tnoublesome one at Shanghai, and thére are also “mixed courts,” a Chi- nese judge sitting en banc with a foreign vice consul, rding to the nationality of the ndant, either criminal or civil, to decide .the case. The long word applies entirely to courts, though, as the latter are closely associated with busigess and personal deportment, it plays a larger part in the status of foreigners in China. It was originally established because China did not have any cod- ified law. China now has a code, but its statesmen do not want to take responsibility for the foreigmers for several years to come. Extraterri- toriality survives in Turkey, and has Just been abolished in Siam. France has sald that it is willing to abolish extraterritoriality if the other nations will. Several of them are willing to return their concessions and settlements. The United States does not have any, even going so far in the past as to refuse offers of them in Shanghai, Tientsin d Hankow. The only property this government owns is in the legation quarter of Peking and the post office and con- sulate in Shanghai. A concession 1s under several {oreign governments, a settlement under one. They are areas in treaty. port cities. Foreigners gov- ern the concessions and. settlements, but pay taxes. Chinese cannot own property in them, and foreigners, ex- cept missionaries, cannot own prop- erty outside of them. However, both do through “dummies.” Costs China Revenue. The United States has a post office in Shanghal and other nations have several in different parts of the coun- tgy, all with domestic rates of post- age to their home countries. Japan has the most, the Chinese. complain- ing that Japan established an office with a complete onnel in Chung- king, 1,200 milesup®he Yangtze, when a barber was the only Japanese resi- dept. Their competition with the na- tive offices costs China. considerable revenue and the opportunities for bringing in morphine and other con- traband are evident, but China con- siders them too small-an incidest for this conference. ‘The maritime customs are more se- rious. Under separate treaties with different countries since 1842, the cus- toms have been collected by foreign powers. The rate is b per cent ad valorem. They were revised in 1902 and agaln in 1918, but taking the average pri for 1912-16 as a basis. Some power always objects when the others assent to China’s request for a revision to normal prices.
