It was said that the Japanese are still awalting word from Tokio regarding this matter be- fore taking it up in the conference again. One point to which attention was called by this spokesman for the Brit- ish was that apparently the four- power treaty would include in its provisions the entire territory of Japan as insular possessions and in- sular dominions. 1, of course, in- cludes Australia, the Philippines, etc. Abrogation to Be Automatie.

The Washington conference has been in session for just four weeks. It is admitted that it has moved with great rapidity in disposing of im- portant "and vexed questions. While it 1s doubtful that the conference will have concluded its work by Christ- it, is by no means unlikely that it will have finished by or soon after New Year day. Armament Treaty Expected. Before the conference concludes its work it is expected to draft a treaty on the limitation of naval armaments also to have provided in some way for future sessions. with other nations taking part, especially for the consideration of the limitation of land armaments, And from this process it is expected an “assoclation of nations” will evolve. A separate agreement with regard to China, in which all nine nations attending the present conference will take part, fis also predicted. 1 While the co{nferenee is marking time, waiting for word from. Tokio, on the subject of the naval ratio, it will proceed with questions of the far east relating to China. The far east committee of the conference is to meet at 11 am. tomorrow.
