WASHINGTON, D. C, TO GIVE UP CHINESE LEASES PAVES WAY TO UNDERSTANDING ON NAVIES Step to Adjust Far East Is’ Important. LATER SESSION TO PUSH WORK Britain and Japan Ask to Retain Two Leaseholds. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Great significance ‘was fast night by spokesmen for the Arerican and other delegations to the Washington conference to the advance made yesterday by the conference in dealing with the question of leased territory in China. The offer of France to give up her lease of Kwangchouwan, pro- vided the other powers holding leased territory in China would agree to yield their leases also, was indicative, it was said, of the spirit with which the problems of China have been attacked by the conference. Britain Is Congratulated. Great Britain's reply to the effect she was willing to relinquish her lease of Weihalwel, in Shantung, was the cause of similar congratulation. Japan's comment that she had al- ready promised to return to China the bay of Kiaochow in China, the lease of which she obfained through the war ‘Wwith Germany, and that negotia- tions with China for that end are now under way was taken as a good omen. Two other leaseholds in China; how- ever, that of Kowloon on-the main- land just opposite Homgkong, which is held by the British, and that of the Liaotung peninsula, including Port Arthur and Dalny, which is held by the Japanese, thdse powers desire to. retain. Discussion te Contimue. The discussion of the leaseholds in China, it was decided, will bé consid- ered further at the next meeting of the committee on the far east, which is to be held Wednesday morning. So far as the limitgtion of naval armaments is concerned, Tokio last night held the spotlight. Develop- ments of the greatest importance to the conference are expected to happen there in the next few days. The Tokio government must pass upon proposals transmitted to it by the Japanese del- egation here, dealing with the naval ratio of the United States, Great Britain and Japan. An atmosphere of optimism as to tae results of the deliberations in Tokio was found in the highest conference quarters here last night. The belief prevails that the Japanese government, with the facts squarely before i® will agree to the 5-5-3 ratto proposed by the United States and concurged in by Great Britain. May Be Delayed Week. ‘There is every reason to belleve that the Toklo government will have before it, In connection with the naval ratio, suggestions regarding a *friéndly under- standing of the powers with reference to the far east, which will have consid- erable influence in the determination of its attitude on the 5-5-3 proposal. In view of the time it requires to get messages through to Tokio from Washington and to receive a reply, not to mention the fact that the Japanese cabinet must meet and discuss the mat- ters presented, the belief here is that most of the coming week may be re- duired to obtain définite action on the naval ratio. Because of this fact, it was sald, there is little likelihood of an open mesting of the conference during the present week. Lull tn Proceedings. A lull in proceedings here for the next two days is expected. The com- mittee bn the far east does not meet again until Wednesday. The com- mittees on limitation of naval arma- ment will not meet until Tokio's answer has been received. Arthur J. Balfour, head of the British dele- gaticn. is out of the city, filling en- gagem=ats In New York until Wed- fesdey. The delegates are expected to attend a joint meeting of Congress on Tuesday to hear President. Hard- ing deliver an address. — It was insisted last night that the American delegation is making no compromise inconsistent ~ with the principles advanced by the United States with réegard to the limitation of armament or the problems of the far east., in seeking to effect an agreement on the limitation of naval armament. Offer to Have Influence. France’s offer to give up her leased territory in China, backed up by the ofter of Great Britain to yleld her lease’ of Welhaiwel in Shantung, is expected to have considerable in- fluence in bringing to a successful conclusion the. negotiations now go- ing on here between the Chinese and the Japanese in regard to the with- drawal of the <apuun from Shan- tung. 2 The United States’ position, with regard to Shantung, has long been clear. - The United States did not rutify the Versailles treaty turning “(Continued on Page 4, Column 3.) attached The official statement of the Wash- ington conference regarding the dis- cussion of leased areas in China at a meeting of the committee on the far east yesterday is as follows: ‘The committee on Pacific and far eastern questions met Saturday morning, December 3, at 11 o'clock in the Pan-American building. All the delegates were present except Ambassador Shidehara and Baron Kato. The committee discussed the question of leased areas in China. + Germany Held Responsible. Mr. Koo stated that the ex- istence of the leased territories in China was due in the original in- stance to the aggressions of Ger- many, whose forcible occupation of part of Shantung province con- strained the Chinese government to grant a lease for ninty-nine years of the Bay of Kiaochow, in the Shantung province, on March 6, 1898. This was closely followed by a demand on the part of Russia for the lease of the Liaotung peninsula, in which are found the ports of Port Arthur and Dalny, along with the demand for the right of building a railway, to be guard- d by Russian soldlers, tra- ‘ersing the Manchurian prov- ince from Port Arthur and Dalny to join the Transiberian railway at Viadivostok. This was later the cause of the Russian-Japanese ‘war, which resulted in 1905 in the transfer of those territories to Japan with the consent of China. Following the lease of Klaochow bay to Germany and that of Port Arthur and Dalny to Russia, France obtained from China on April 22, 1898, the lease of Kwang- chouwan, on the coast of Kwang- tung province, for ninety-nine years, and dreat Britain the lease, also for ninty-nine years, of an exten- VIVIANI DISCUSSES OFFER TO CHINESE France Willing to Restore Leased Territory Provided Other Powers Do Likewise. i By the Associated Prees. M. Vivian, head of the Frekch dele- gation to the armament conference, }commenting last night upon the ques- Itlon of leased territories in China and I ! { the action of France yesterday In the far eastern committee, said: “The French government, in accept- ing the invitation of the United States to join in a conference to as- sist China in adapting her institutions to more modern forms, was de- termined to act generously. Conse- quently it was a pleasure for me to say that France was quite prepared to give up the territory of Kwang- chow, leased to her by China in 1898 at the time Great Britain received Rowleon and Welhaiwel, Germany, Shantung and Russia Port Arthur and Dalny. “Qur offer is contingent on three things: First, that other powers do the same; second, that we arrange the terms of surrender with China; third, that the territories restored to China shall not be given to any other power. As neither of the other powers were prepared to give back all the territories held by them leased at the same time as ours, our offer may be said to be in suspense. The discussions are to be continued next week.” —_— FIRE IN OYSTER BUILDING. Fire was discovered in the rooms of the Electrical Workers' Union, N 26, on the fourth floor of 900 Penn- sylvania avenue shortly after 2 o'clock this morning and W ex- tinguished before any great damage resulted. The bullding is owned by Commissioner James F. Oyster, who uses the first floor for his butter and egg business. The second floor is oc- cupied by the Commercial Life In- surance Company. The flames were confined to the top floor. George E. Renny, who said he is an electrical worker and that his home 1s in Okron, Ohio, and who was asleep on the top floor at the time, was al- most suffocated by the smoke. He was discovered by Fireman W. F. Miller, who carried him to the street below. Emergency Hospital. —_— DEPUTIES IN UPROAR. ROME, December 3.—The commu- nist deputy; Misiano, who recently was sentenced to ten years’ imprison- ment by military court-martial for desertion in the face of the enemy, en- tered the chamber of deputles this evening to take his seat. His ap- pearance was the signal for an im- mediate outburst by the fascisti, who urged all the deputies to withdraw. A sharp battle of words followed, in which the socialists, communists, na- tionalists and fascisti took part. Finally enough of the deputies with- drew to prevent a. quorum and the session was abandoned. . Renny was taken to the " l sion of Kowloon and the adjoin- ing territory and waters close to Hongkong on June -9, 1898, and the lease “for so long-a perlod as Port Arthur should remain in the occupation of Russia, of the port of Weihalwei, on the coast of Shan- tung, on July 1, 1898. Both Great Britain and Frapce based their - claims for the leases on the ground of the necessity of preserving the balance of power in the far east. Leases Limited. If he might be permitted to go into the history of the question, he might add that while the measures and extent of control by the lessee powers over the leased territories vary In different cases, the leases themselves are all limited to a fixed period of years, expressly or impliedly; they are not transfer- able to a third power without the consent of China. Though the ex- ercise of administrative rights over the territories leased is relin- quished by China to the lessee power during the period of the lease, the sovereignty of China over them is reserved in all cases. As is stated in the beginning, these leaseholds were granted by China with the sole purpose of maintaining the balance of power in the far east, not so much be- tween China and the other powers, but between other powers them- selves concerning China. These are all creatures of compact, different from cessions both in fact and in law. Twenty years had elapsed since then and conditions had entirely altered. With the elimination of German menace in particular, an important disturbing fact to the peace of the far east had been re- moved. Russia had equally dis- appeared from the scene and it _could be hoped with confidence (Continued on Page 4, Column 4.) JAPAN SEEN FACING PARTING OF WAYS One Path Leads to Isolation, Other to Linking With Great Nations. By the Associated Press. Considerations which occupy the minds of official Japan, through rep- resentatives at the Washington con- ference, and which form the bcak- ground of practical questions involved in percentage of ships under an arma- ment limitation agreement were said last night to be summarized in the following proposition: “Is Japan to be isolated politically or is she to be linked up compactly with other great nations with a full recognition of her desire to be known actually as' one of the five great powers in spir{t as well as name?” Developments in the discussions of naval ratio, it was said, show that Japan is looking at this question from | a broader standpoint than a mere issue as between 60 or 70 per cent in! tonnage. The Japanese also are ap- parently prepared to admit that there are now sound objections on the part of other nations to a continuance of the Anglo-Japanese alliance which for so many years has connected them with the western world, but if it is to go they would like to see as a perma- nent substitute a definite agreement between Great Britain, the United States” and Japan on questions of policy in the far east. ‘Would Banish Si ‘The whole tendency of modern Japan is described as being a very earnest desire to co-operate with the United States and banish- any atmos- phere of suspiclon which during re- cent years may have existed between the two countries; Japanese recognize the delicacy of any effort on their part to suggest that the United States no longer place | fortifications in colonial possessions in far eastern waters, but the opinion is expressed that if a tripartite agree- ment, substantial in nature, could be coupled with an American willingness not to fortify further in the far east, the Japanese people would have a sense of security which, if it did not compensate for a Japanese ylelding on warship tonnage, would, at least, relleve the anxieties of the Japanese people. The view was put forward yester- day in responsible circles that the ex- pected visit of Lloyd George to Wash- | ington might have a bearing upon some effort to build up a triple accord between the three great naval powers as a substitute for the Anglo-Jap- anese alllance. The impression was given that such an understanding might well include the main features of agreements already concluded con- cerning the far east. ‘Want Popular Approval. The immediate question of warship tonnage is belleved to be not with- out a relation to the home political situation in Japan.

POTENTIALITIES ALSO INCLUDED Inferiority in Building Ships. By the Associated Press. Making what was considered a di- rect allusion to the naval ratio ques- tion, Sennosuke Yokata, president of the legislative bureau of the Jap- anese cabinet, in an address here yes- terday, declared the true and impar- tial spirit of disarmament should take into cons'deration not only the existing strengths of navies but also the potential powers of each country. Mr. Yokata expressed the opinion A {Points Out that if the present conference neg- ilected the importance of potential power, by which he meant general industrial capacity in supplying war material in time of emergency. it might meet with the disapproval if not the derision of posterity. May Join et. The comparative inferiority of Japan in ability to replace her war- ships in time of emergency was touched upon last week by Vice Ad- miral Banji Kato, chief naval ad- viser to the Japanese delegation, when in an interview he outlined the Japanese reasons for desiring a 70 per cent ratio of capital ships as against the 60 per cent set down in the American proposals. Mr. Vokata, who was regarded as the right hand man of Premier Hara, who was recently assassinated, is re- turning soon to Japan and his ad- dress yesterday was made at a fare- well luncheon which he gave in honor of about sixty Americansand Japanese. He is one of the leaders of the sieykal, or government party and it is reported in Washington that he may become & member of the new Taka- hashi cabinet on his return to Toklo. It is believed also that on his return he will proceed to clarify govern- mental @nd public opinion concerning the status and aspirations of the ‘Washington conference. Favor Defensive Forees. In his addregs yesterday ~Mr. Yokata made the point that military preparations of an independent state should consist not only of an eficlent army and navy with munitions, forti- fications, etc., but that it must have i{the backing of potential power and jgreat industrial organization. He referred to the effective manner in which the draft was carried out in the United States during the war and the jation shown in America. ] of potential capacity as a fair meas- urement of real disarmament, Mr. Yo- kata said there were other means of establishing a lasting peace bepides limiting armaments and that the American people alone could take the lead in a new path to the eternal wel- fare of mankind. every living creature has a right to life and happiness and that, therefore, there was no room for such a thing as racial discrimination among the members of the human family. He asserted that no nation could be com- pared with the United States with its immense area of fertile lands and its abundance of natural resources. Paints a Sad Picture. Mr. Yokata painted a picture of the world as full of disorder and confu- sion almost too great for human com- prehension. “Russia is in a state of chaos and dark clouds Hover over the Aslatic continent.” He added, ‘Japan’s wounds from the war were not severe, but the limited area of her land and the lack of necessaries for her ever~ increasing population give rise to urg- ent problems.” i He then contrasted the situation of Japan with that of the United Sta'tes, which, he said, had an abundant wealth of natural resources.

The judge said he would consider tomorrow morning, if no verdict had heen returned by that time, whether he would hold the jury longer. The request for its discharge was made on the ground that the jurors were “tired out and that it would be coercion to keep them balloting further” It was i made at approximately 6 p.m. after the jurors had been out of the court- room more than 25 hours and had spent nine hours in balloting or dis- cussion.

December 8. —The Kansas court of industrial re- lations late today issued a temporary restraining ofder to *packers and union officials in Kansas City, Kan., to “continue the present status, terms and conditions of employment.” The order, according to Richard J. Hop- kins, attorney general of Kansas. constituted a virtual injunction against the strike called for Monday December 5. At the eame time. Judge W. H.

CHICAGO, December 3.—Spokesmen I for the Big Five packers, when in- formed by the Associated Press tonight of the restraining order is- sued by the Kansas court of in- dustrial relations, pointed out that ccntinuing the “present status, terms and conditions of employment” would not in any way affect the packers’ position. The wage cut agreed to by plant asscmblies went into effect last Mcnday, it was asserted, and the spokesmen for the packers construed the order to mean that it was to be continued, although stating that it { would be necessary to read the order before expressing a definite opinion. A fight to the finish between the Big Five packers and the Amalgu- mated Meat Cutters’ and Butcher Workmen of North America was in prospect today as each side virtually finished its plans for the strike of union packing house employes or- dered to begin Monday. The packers today posted notices that employes who go out on strike will lose their jobs and also adver- tised for men to take the places of strikers. The union officials indicated they had no intention of receding from the stand taken when they advised packing house workers in Kansas City, Kan., to disregard orders of the Kansas court of industrial rela- tions to appear before it. The court of industrial relations issued sub- poenas for the officers of the Kansas City locals. Later in the day the Kan- sas court issued a temporary order re- straining either the packers or the unlon from taking any action what- ever. : Plant assemblies, the organizations composed of packer and workmen rep- resentatives, by which the packers propose to settle all questions affect- ing employes, held meetings today in several cities and issued statements advising the workmen to leave ail the thirteenth, or alternate juror, who [ questions of wages and working con- was excused wifen the jury retired to{ditions to these organizations. deliberate yesterday, appeared in the greeted with | that the walkout would not seriously The packers expressed confidence affect production, asserting that few men would follow the union orders Hopkins and Arbuckle shook hands|and that the union's strength is not sufficient to cripple the industry.
