‘FULL VAR BUDGET ASKED FOR FRANCE to Sponsor Ariny of 900,- « 000 Men. By the Associated Press. PARIS, December 8.—Andre Lefqvre, former minister of war, today asked the chamber of deputies to vote this vear the full war budget, which was passed in 1914, inasmuch as Germany “is ready to mobilize 7,000,000 men in three weeks.” M. Lefevre declared France neede an army of 900,000 men, half of which should be along the Rhine. He added that Germany was ready to mobilize behind the Black Forest, instead of on the Rhine, and that, fully supplied with rifles and airplanes, she would be ready to assume an offensive within two. months. Against Reduced Budget. Gen. De Castelnau, Col. Fabry and M. Moro-Giafferi all spoke against a reduction in the war budget, which they declared in its half completed form shows a slight decrease com- pared_with the figures of last year. Col. Fabry, a former aide de camp of Marshal Joffre, is sponsor for the bill now before the chamber calling for an army of 820,000 men. ¢ —— LORD RIDDELL IS URGED TO POSTPONE DEPARTURE [jir Arthur Willert Believes His Assistance Is Necessary in Handling British Publicity. Lord Riddell, who has been acting {5 liaison officer in giving out news f Great Britain's part in the confer- «nce as passed upon by Sir Arthur Willert, official publicity officer of the delegation, may postpone his return 10 England. Until recently he had planned sailing about the middle of this month. | Sir Arthur Willert has been trying to prevail upon Lord Riddell to re-p main longer in shington. as he be- lieves he is very necessary in handling publicity matters, and it is the belief f Sir Arthur that his lordship will be able to continue his duties here for some time further, to give his valuable assistance to the American press.

All the |'delegates were present with the ex- | ception of Mr. Underwood, Mr. Ricci, Mr. Shidehara and Dr. Moresco. Discussing the third Chinese pro- posal. China Wants Notice. Mr. Koo sald that the essential prin- ple laid down in point 3 of the Chinese proposals, which reads as follows: “With a view to strengthen- ing mutual confldence and maintain- a1ing peace in the Pacific and the far east, the powers agree mot to con- clude between themselves any treaty | or agreement directly affecting China or the general peace in‘these regions without previously notifying China and giving to her an opportunity to participate,” is that the Chinese gov- ernment should have previous notifi- cation of the negotiatiol of any treaty or agreement which will affect Chinese interests. Agreements. have in the past fre- quently been made, relating to the far east or to China particularly, without participation on the part of China or previous notice to the Chi- iese government. In agreements of this kind the nations concerned were presumably disposing of rights and interests belonging to them or they were giving mutual promises With regard to action which they would {take or from which they would ab- stain. Taking any one of these agree- ments by itself it might be argued that its subject matter was composed en- tirely of rights, interests and actions of the parties to the agreement. Two Parts to Agreemen This kind of agreement falls rough- 1y into two divisions, one being in the nature of mutual engagements to ab- stain from certain action in special parts of China: the other being en- gagements for mutual assistance in support of the general interests of all foreign powers in China or of the spe- cial interests claimed by the parties to the agreement. As_to these treaties and agreements Mr, Koo said ‘he felt that they were all so well known to the members of the committee that the complete enu- meration or - specific illustrations would be unnecessary. The first kind of agreements usu- ment party not to seek any rail cessions in one part of China in re- { turn for a similar promise on the part of the other contracting parties not to seek railway concessions in another part of China. At first sight it might seem as if a nation were within its rights in prom- ising to another to forego certain op- portunities within a specific region, But any deeper examination of this matter will immediately show that there are a great many objections to Further ! such a method of arranging the action| of one nation upon the territory of an- other. In the first place, it involves an incipient national monopoly or preference within the region affected, because the nation which has secured a promise of abstention from one SPECIAL NOTICES.

By the mak- ing of only one agreement. two na- tioas are already backing a system tificial limitation of economic ac- tivities. All Rights Involved. The rights of China are involved both because she must wish that all the parts of her territory shall be open on equal terms or on such terms as she herself shall determine to for- eign capitalists, merchants and resi- ts. A uch treaties as the above are made, with China, her territory is divided into distinct spheres for foreign en- terprise. To this she can by no means be indifferent. The other group of treaties deals with the safeguarding and defending of territorial rights or special inter- ests in the far east, including or spe- clally mentioning China. These all have one or more of the following three features: (1) A declaration that the contract- ing parties have a special interest in having order and a pacific state of things guaranteed in the regions of China adjacent to the territories where the contracting powers have rights of sovereignty, protection or occupation, and engage to support each other for assuring the peace and security in these regions; or (2) A declaration to support the in- dependence and integrity of China and the maintenance of the open door for foreign commerce and to aid each other for the defense of the contract- regions; or (3) The recognition by one contract- ing power to the effect that, since propinquity creates special relations, the other contracting power has spe- cial interests in China. Chinese Liberty Affected. It was clear that any one of the foregoing three features must be of vital interest to China. The assur- ance of peace and order in any part of Chinese territory was a matter of great concern to China herself. The maintenance of the independence and territorial integrity of China touched the supreme rights of China. As to the recognition of propinquity as cre- ating special interests in China, it was equally obvious that such recog- nition could not be valid, because spe- cial Interests on Chinese territory could not be created without the con- sent of China, and China has always contested the soundness of the doc- trine of propinquity. The effect of all such treaties and agreements have been to maintain in China conditions which intimately ef- fected the rights, prospects and lib- | erty of action of China herself. It appeared, therefore, that the Chi- | nese government has an equitable | right to be consulted in all agree- ments which deal with, or pretend to deal with, the general situation in the | far_east,’ including China. Even if such treaties should be animated by an entirely friendly spirit .toward China, yet their bearing is such that they may involve consequences which would import limitations on Chinese freedom of action: and even they should therefore not be made without consultation with China. t Legally B 1] ing. | y. of tourse, be said that China, | not being a party to such treatie: jneed in Mo way recognize them no j consider herself bound by any of | their provisions. That is legally true. But the political effect produced by a group of such treaties, just as In the case of spheres of iMluence, tends so to modify the political and economic situation in China that no efforts on the part of her government can suc- ceed in preserving liberty of action, We must look at the total results of a group of such cases, if the practice should be recognized that China need not be consulted. plain that vital interests of China would be affected and- the nature of activities and interest within China determined entirely by the action of outside powers.” The Chinese govern- ment would then find itself obliged to move along grooves laid down by others without having ontd' had an opportunity of insisting upen her own life-needs as seen by herself. We must, therefore, conclude that though an individual agreement may. on the face of it, concern only the action of outside powers. if that ac- tion relates' to China the Chinese gov- ernment cannot remain indifferent to it. because of the effect which con- tinued action in making agreements of this kind would have upon the lib- erty of movement and development of }:'le“Chlnena government and . nation self. | Balfour Gives Opinion. Mr, Balfour said that if none of his colleagues desired to speak immedi- ately he would give utterance in- formally to his first thoughts on Mr. | Koo's remarks. With the broad aspi | rations expressed by Mr. Koo all must {be In sympathy. The whole tenor of the discussion on China's affairs proved the desire to remove as far as possible the abnormal conditions ex- isting in China and to bring relations with China Into that normal course of policy which regulates the relations between civilized states. He was not sure, however, that Mr. Koo's method was the best means of achieving this. One of the most important passages in_Mr. Koo's speech had referred to spheres of influence. So far as Great Britain was concerned, spheres The British government had not the slightest wish to prolong a situation which, so far as they were concern- ed, had been explicitly abandoned. A ‘better way of dealing with the jmatter was to make clear what had already been implicitly, if not ex- plicitly, indicated, namely, to declare that no one wished to perpetuate either the system of spheres of in- terest or the international under- standings on which they depended. How did spheres of interest come into existence? Because at a cer- tain period of Russian and German aggression in China, other powers, in order to prevent China being cut up before their eyes, had to do for each other what China could not do for herself. In China’s interest, as well as in their own, they had to guard against their exclusion from |legitimate opportunities of enter- prise. This was due, not so much to their own policy, as to China’s want | of policy; not in consequence of their town strength, but of China's weak- | ness. Favors Chinese Jndependence. Mr. Balfour thought it was the hope of ‘all those present to place China in a position to defend her in- terests, to protect ‘her neutrality and no longer to be the prey of acquis- tive powers. He did not think that this end was likely to be attained by |1 ldopunfllthe broad principle propos: ed by the Chinese delegation, but rather by dealing with the difficul- ties which beset China one by one, as the committee were actually doing —e. g., in their dealings with such questions as spheres of interest, post offices, extraterritoriality, etc. That was likely to be a most useful and fruitful method. Another method which ought to be still more fruitful, must be de- pendent on China herself. All that the conference would do was to see that no undue limitations, no limi- tations which were not necessitated the facts of the tuation, are placed on China's sovereign inde- pendence, and to give all the help in its power toward the creation of. a pure and vigorous administration. He could not see that the position was. helped by the principle proposed by the Chinese delegation, Which went a good deal beyond any exist- ing principle of international law. The term employed, namely, “the Pa- was as broad as cific and far ast,” the Pacific itself.

The chairman then observed that there might be treatics affecting | China not adverse to China, but it! could be sald that there wouid be no secret engagements. Mr. Balfour had quite proBenly sald that the other| governments here. represented were bound not to make such engagements and that the government of the {United States could not. More than that could be done, however—there could be recorded an expression of a desire to be helpful to China in the preservation of the legitimate fleld of her administrative automony and a reassertion in connection with par: graph No. 1 of the “Root resolution,” iof the determination to do nothing in ! derogation of the sovereignty, inde- ipendence and territorial and admin- istrative integrity of China. Therefore, If there were embodied | in the resolution relating to treaties principles underlying the Chinese pro- posal and gn expression of the inten- tion to do' nothing.in derogation of these principles and to make noj {treaties or cngagements in deroga- | {tion of the sovereignty and adminis- | rative integrity of China, all that| China desired would be attained with- | lout the committee being led into a discussion of the theoreticsi freedom of the treaty-making power. Qualification Asked For. The chairman therefore suggested that the Chinese delegation advance some qualification of their proposal which would permit the matter to be_discussed in that sense. Mr. Hanihara said that he had very little to add to what Mr. Balfour had so ably stated. He only desired to make the point of view of the Japa- nese delegation clear by saying The Japanese delegation | *helie\'od that the soverign nations ! had the right of concluding any itreaty or agreement between them- |selves. At the sametime, with the rowing influence of public opinion and of international law, it was daily becoming evident that, should a treaty or agreement prove prejudi- cial to the peace of the world or violative of the rights of the third powers, it was bound to fall by itself under strong pressure of popular condemnation, if not on account of action taken against it by aggrieved parties, either through direct diplo- matic representation or through the instrumentality of the league of na- tions, of which China was & member. But an_engagement by the powers under the formula now proposed by China would operate as a serious limitation upon their sovereign right, and in the opinion of the Japanese delegation it was neither necessary nor desirable. Sir Auckland Geddes; as a means of surmounting the - difficulty, ventured to suggest a resolution. After re- calling the terms of the four resolu- tions adopted by the committee on November 21, he suggested that to these should be added a fifth, as fol- = $ sk i i “Imagine at one time its i in with all of P yski’s genius—at her, oo mfhpmm all of Paderewski’s genius—at anot of Josef Hofmann—at ., perfect dance music” - Culture + Entertainment » Pleasure through The DUO-ART %e_produéz’ny Priano ULTURE of the most soulsatisfying kind the Duo-Art makes possible without effort on your part, except to listen.

Amendment Offered. ‘To enter into no treaty, agree- ment, arrangement or understanding either with one another or indfvid- ually or collectively with eny. other power or powers Wwhich would in- fringe or impair the principles which they,have herein declared.” Mr. Balfour said he thought it was worth while for him to state, in order| that it might appear on the r.oordci of the committee, that on October 31, 1921, the parliamentary undersecre- tary of the foreign office had made the following declaration in the house of commons: “The polioy of spheres of influence in China has been superseded by one of-international co-operation, and the further development of:"this policy! will no doubt form one of the subjects of jon’at- Washington.” fewi, formula proposed. However, he would state his observations on a few points. Firstly, that the formula would not only be unmecessary in view of the fact -that the principle embodied in what had already been .staf most | clearly. in the first item of the Root resolution, but it might weaken the foroe of that resolution.
