We're e %o Hoop dur patniecs el means of communication and trans- portation the governments represent- ed at Washington conference would be taking a very direct step toward lessening the probabilities of wars in the future. Scholars are said to be agreed that uneven dis- tribution of natural resources among various nations has been the under- Iving cause of most past wars. An- other war-promoting factor, it has been held, has been misunderstand- ings between peoples due to lack. of adequate communication facilities etween countries. P the probaple future development of air navigation may lie a cure for these fundamental an hl} ta_un- avoidable seeds of War, 1t has been said. Through alr transportation most experts expect to see wider ac- cess to natural resources of the world made possible and a consequent less- ening in the struggle for actual phys- ical control of those resources. They also anticipate gradual development of quick and easy communication through air between widely separate peoples and a resultant better under- standing between such peoples and less chance of misapprehension which might lead to war. Would Encourage Development. Some of the officials who partici- pated in the aircraft subcommittee deliberations are known to have held these views as to the desirability of pressing forward aircraft develop- ment as rapidly as possible, not for war, but for peace motives, and there is reason to belleve that the sub- committee report will show a reflec- tion of this view when it is made t PROPOSE DIVIDING GERMAN HOLDINGS (Continued from First Page.) exchange for her partial pre-war in- We will your home on monthly payments THE 3 u. 1. scuare Electric Co. 739 11th Bt.

At the same time the British, French and Italian governments would renounce their undivided shares in the properties to the United States and Japan in rec- ognition of the particular interest of those two sovmmenu in the Pa- cific cable fleld. This plan of partition was worked out by the American and Japanese delegates, and was not laid before the representatives of the other powers until yesterday. It was said that all of them appeared. to look upon it with favor, France indicating definite acceptance and Great Britain and Italy showing approval, but desiring to make a further study of some | questions of detail. Tha Netherlands delegation also asked for a delay of final action to permit it to communi- cate with its home government. It was explained last night that, in the American view, the rearrange- ments are considered entirely fair to. the Netherlands, since her na- tionals owned about one-third of the stock in the corpération whick owned | the three cables, while under the new | treaty she would receive full title to {one of the three lines. Provision was made that the value of the entire German holdings would be checked off against the German reparations bilk as soon as the cables pass to their new owners. To insure equitable use of the whole submarine system the new treaty also guarantees “through service” under- a reciprocal arrange- ment worked out by American and Japanese experts. There also is an arrungement for connecting .with other cable lines, and it is under- stood that it was upon this point Great Britain suggested she might desire to make a reservation.

As Mr. Root pointed out before the full committee, it is said, the Germans held that because submarines could not operate under crulser warfare rules except with extreme danger to themselves, they could not be re- quired to conform to those rules. Mr. Root sald the purpose of Ais resolu- tion was to express the direct “nega- tion” of that German contention, and the five powers agreed in principle to th_t purpose. To naval experts the formal publi- cation of the agreement of the five chief naval powers as to what they understand the laws of warfare In this connection to be, and the positive assertion that those laws apply to all types of warcraft, will mean the prac- tical abolishment’ of submarine oper- ations against merchant craft, even without adoption of the second Root proposal to declare such abolishment as a new precept of international law They do not belfeve submarines would be employed to overhaul merchant- men in view of the rizks involved. SBERAN FIRATG LA T0 HPANESE Reactionary Bands Incited Against Far Eastern Re- public, Delegates Say. By the Assoclated Press. The recent capture of Harbarovsk, Siberia, by Russian troops opposed to the Far Eastern Republic, was de- clared yesterday by the special trade delegation of the far eastern republic of Chita, now in Washington, to have been the work of reactionary bands armed and organized by the Japanese. The delegation, in a statement, also charged that the city of Tsitsiker, on the Chinese Eastern railway, between Harbin and Manchuria, was occupied recently by Japanese troops, with the view of seizing the western part of the Chinese Eastern railway as far a3 the station of Manchuria. Japanese Enter Denial. At the Japanese headquarters yes- terday it was declared that Harba- rovsk was captured by the troops of the Vladivostok independent govern- ment, which_is opposed to the gov- ernment at Chita, and that the Japa- nese army, which “is remaining abso- lutely neutral,” had nothing to do |feet high.

Furtber Attacks Charged. The Chisa delegation, which has ap- plied to the conference on limitati~n of armament for the right to be heard at the conference when the question of Siberia comes up for discussion. declared further in its statement that Japanese were attempting to organize an attack on the Zabaikal province, and that they had been organizing bands in Harbin, Hailar and other points on hhe Chinese Eastern rail- road for some time. ‘The statement contained alleged Secret messages sent by the Japanese ministry of war to the Japanese general staff at Viadivostok, which were declared to have been inter- cepted by the agents of the Chita government. One instructed the general staff that its army must be ready to ocoupy the Chinese Eastern railroad, adding that the oooupation was of a temporary demonstrative character, aml that the army was walting detailed finformation from Dairen, where negotiations are pro- ceeding between Japan and the Chita government. Allege Plan to Control Rallway. The statement further charmed, in connection with the alleged Japanese plan to control the Chinese Eastern railroad, that when its board of directors desired to issue bonds for $20,000,000, in order to finance the road, the South Manchuria railway tried to strengthen Japanese domina- tion by subscribing for most of the bonds through Japanese banks. Out- side interference, however, it was sald, caused the Japanese to fail in fheir attempt. ‘The Chita delegates further alleged that by bribing Chinese officials the Japanese had succeeded in placing along the Chinese Eastern rallroad policemen of Ataman Sendenoff, who “are nothing but Japanese toola” It was also charged that the Japanese were attempting to use revolutionary bands in attacks on the Far Eastern Republic from the line of the Chinese Eastern railroad. and in a general way to intrench themselves more solidly in Manchuria. FRENCH PEOPLE AGAINST PROGRAM, SAYS BRITON gard to any effort to knit them all together under an “assoclation” plan, it s considered practically assured that before it adjourns the Wash- ington meeting will arrange for com- Ing together again six or seven years hence. That proposal has been con- sidered in some detail, and most of the delegates are understood to have agreed that such a conference at least can determine whether the naval holiday on capital ships, to ex- pire in 1931, is to be continued. EXPERTS ‘MOP UP NAVAL DETAILS By the Assoclated Pres Naval experts of the five powers made progress yesterday in what was described as the work of “mopping up” technical details of the naval limitation agreement. They went over a great deal of ground, touch ing on capital ship replacement plans, methods of scrapped ships to be de- stroyed, regulations to govern con- version of merchant liners for war use and the like, several agreements on_minor points heing reached. The experts will get back to work tomorrow afternoon despite the holi- day. Their session yesterday was said to have been highly encouraging that_an early agreement would be reached on all of the technical mat- ters referred to them by the full naval committee to be shaped for in clusion in the naval limitation treaty. | All expert committee members were said to have shown a desire to co- operate in reaching quick decisions, and no opposition on any point taken up yesterday developed.

The statue of Jeanne d'Arc, recently sresented to the government by the Societe des Femmes de France a N York, is to be dedicated at 2:30 2'clock on the afternoon of January 6, in Meridian Hill Park.

At the same time, ad- ministration officials describe the President as still hoping for such a conference. The forelgn delegates, nl-nlr :he most part, are remaining silent. Attention Called to Results, In all discussions of the subject i conference and administration circles attention is called to what already has been done in the direction of fu- ture conferences, as forming at least a plecemeal beginning toward reali- zation of the President’s hopes.. The four-power treaty, providing for con- sultation between thé United States, Great Britain, Japan and France in any threatened breach of the peace in the Pacific; the creation of continu- ing commissions and other agencies to help solve the Chinese problem: and the virtual-decision to have an. other arms conference six or seven years hence to discuss extension of the naval holiday, 8ll are pointed to by American officials as steps in the right direction. But whether a definite, concrete plan for periodical consultations is to be laid before the conference be- fore it ends remains an unanswered question. Neither the White House nor _the American delegation will make a prediction, and the plenipo- tentfaries of the other powers are in a waiting attitude, because they feel any such proposal should logically come from the United States. Not pu Formal Agenda. No item providing for discussion of a future conference plan is on the. formal agenda of the Washington conference, but that is not generally. considered a serious obstacle to con- sideration of the subject. It is point- ed out that an opportunity for further separate actomplishment toward the “agsociation” ideal is afforded by the Chin “ten points,” accepted as a basis of discussion in' the far eastern negotiations. The last of the ten propositions 1aid down by the Chinese was: “Provision is to be made for future conferences to be held from time to time for the discussion of interna- tional questions relative to P cific and the far east, as a basis for determination of common policies of t) atory powers in relation thereto. the full committee.

CHINESE STILL HOP TOREVIVE DEMANDS Dr. Wang, ,Delegate, Tells Why He Thinks 21 Points Should Be Discussed. By the Associated Press. Dr. Chung-hui-Wang, one of the ‘| Chinese delegates to the Washington conference and minister of justice in the new Chinese cabinet, last night gave three reasons why the twenty- one demands should be taken up by the conference. They follow: “(1) The conference was called to settle Pacific and far eastern qu tions with a view to eliminating fu- ture causes of war. The twenty-one demands have been and will be a source of frictlon and misunderstand- ing between the two peoples. The whole of China, young nd old, from officials to the common people, are unanimous In demanding their abo- lition. Rum Counter to Open Door. “(2) The twenty-one demands not only affect the territorial Inde- pendence and integrity of Chins, but “(3) The twenty-one demands serl- ously affect many treaties, under- standings_and exchanges Of notes between different powers relating to Chin ‘It will be remembered that im- mediately upon signing the treaties| in consequence of a forty-elght-hour ultimatum, the Chinese government: issued an official statement protesting against them on practically the same grounds which animated the United States government in sending an identical note of reservations to China and Japan on May 13, 1915 Will Emphasize Interests. Emphasis will be placed by the Chi- nese delegation on the interests of all nations having treaty relations with China in urging the powers repre- sented in the far eastern committee to take up consideration of the twenty-one demands which were sub- mitted by Japan to China in 1915. Not- withstanding Japan's refusal to dis- cuss the validity of the series of treaties and notes growing out of these demands, it was said at Chinese headquarters yesterday that the dele- {gation would attempt to point out ‘how many other nations are affected by them. China’'s answer to the Japanese con- Itention that the validity of these agreements. which the Chinese con- tend were obtained under duress and therefore void, cannot properly come fup for review by the conference on the [ground that the question concerns only the two countries will be, it was said. that all the powers having treaty (relations with China are directly con- tcerned in the demands and the re-| sults flowing from them Polnt to Mining Concesafons. I The Chinese point particularly to mining concessions granted the Han- yehping Company, a Japanese con- cern, in Fukien province, as limiting the ‘work of these properties and all iother mines in the vicinity of the Japanese. No other powers, it was declared, could obtain a foothold in these important mines without the consent of the Japanese. “The _question of the twenty-one de- mands,” said & partial review of how other nations are affected by the de- mands, made public at Chinese delega- tion headquarters, “is one which con- cerns all the powers interested in the maintenance of the prigciple of com- mercial and economié- equal oppor- tunity. It is unnecessary to go into the details of the question. But the following facts may.. recalled in order to show that the%prineiple of equal opportunity would be reduced to a mere fiction if the rights and inter- ests which Japan had forced from China under the twenty-one demands were, permitted to stand. Demands Comcluded Treaties. “In the first place, we may refer to the Chinese-Japanese treaties of 1915, concluded as a result of the twenty-one demands. The second article of the ‘treaty respecting South Manchuria and Eastern Inner Mon- golia,’ stipulated: ‘Japanese subjects in south Manchuria may lease land necessary for erecting suitable build- prosecuting agricultural enterprises.’ The third article of the same treaty stipulated: ‘Japanese subjects may be free to reside and travel in South Manchuria and to engage in business and manufacture of any kind what- soever.’ mands and which are not enjoyed by the nationals of other treaty powers. As these privileges create a status for Japan which is far above that of the other powers, they are absolute- 1y incompatible with the idea of equal opportunity. ‘Japan's uncon- ditional demand for the privilege of inland residence, accompanied with a desire to extend extraterritoriality into the interior of China and to en- able Japanese subjects to monopolize all the interests in south Manchuria, it was pointed out in the official statement by the Chinese govern- ment in regard to the negotiations of the twenty-one demands in 1915, ‘was also palpably irreconcilable with the principle of equal opportunity.’ Not Locked Out of Manchuria. With reference to the contentions of the Chinese that the Japanese en- joy privileges in south Manchuria which are not enjoyed by citizens of other powers, Japanese spokesmen said today that they had no objec- tion to other peoples having the same privileges as they in Man. churia. The Japanese, it was de- clared, had arranged for the right of land leasing and -erection of build- n for trade and manufacture be- cause such things were deemed healthful for the economic develop- ment of Japanese, as well as for the trade development of China. In other words, the Japanese dif- between the extension of e of the Kwantung province and the south Manchuria railroad, which are regarded as the fruits of the Russo-Japanese war, and ch is provided for under the “twenty- one demands” treaty and certain other features of th® treaty which might seem by some to give Japan special privileges. Japan's position was furthermore~ explained as being that she stands ready to make certain modifications in the treaty, but that such must be done by direct nego- tiation with the Chinese government. ‘Among Qther features of the 191§ treaty are those granting Japan the right_to designate police Instructors and the right to advance capital for the extension of railroads. mild digestant ft ooktains, it pre- e m ”A ° tle also l:fu!- Py e AT oF boa¥ poisons that se wn-thnwdpfl-ufl‘ ings for trade and manufacture or for “Now these are the rights and | privileges acquired by the Japanese a@s a result of the twenty-one de- | GERMAN’S BID TO SELL | 1l HEADSTONES IN FRANCE I American on Japanese St MEETS AMAZED REBUFF PARIS, December 31.—Iit has been said that your typical Bavarlan is not equipped with the imaginative understanding that helps people to appreciate the reactions of other and different people.
