20 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ©, THURSDAY, CHINA FAILS T0 SEE JAPAN DISPUTE END Tanaka’s Speech to Diet and Tokio Dispatches Cause Pessimistic Cloud. BY THOMAS F. MILLARD. By Cable to The Star. SHANGHAI, January 24—Chinese pessimism regarding early solution of the disputes with Japan has been deep- ened by Premier Tanaka's speech at the opening of the Japanese Diet Tues- day, despite the fact that Minister Yoshizawa, with several diplomatic assistants, went to Nanking yesterday supposedly to reopen negotiations with the Chinese government. ‘This government’s official attitude is nutw:rdly hopeful in welcoming Minister Yoshizawa's visit, but beneath the sur- face is extremely doubtful regarding ‘Tokio's real purposes. News dispatches from Tokio are the principal cause of the gloomy feeling shown by the Chinese press. Reuter’s agency carries an obviously officially inspired story that Japan has agreed to recognize the new tariff of February 1 and the Chinese government has agreed to make a payment which legalizes the Nishihara loans, the plain inference being that T. V. Soong, the Chinese minister of finance, is using subterfuge to make those loans legitimate without permitting the Chinese public to understand. Minister Denies Implication. ‘When these dispatches were called to Mr. Soong's attention, he denied the implication, saying that the recent action of the Chinese government in' llloclr.ln $5,000,000 as part payment of n defaults, including some J-unue debts, does not apply to the Nishihara loans, and that Japan's con- sent to tariff autonomy is without such conditions, Nevertheless, the reports cause uneasiness which remains unallayed. ‘Tuesday’s _Reuter’s reported from Tokio that Premier Tanaka had inti- mated before the Diet that Manchuria had a different status from the remain- der of China, which has caused a sensa- tion here because it conveys alarming inferences. Visit Seen as Gesture. ‘The Chinese press also points to a ‘Toho agency report that Consul Hayashi, at Mukden, has objected to the Man- churian government placing its foreign relations in the hands ofsthe Nanking foreign office, saying Tokio will not discuss Manchuria questions with Nanking. These reports cause wonder here whether Minister Yoshizawa will discuss Manchurian questions when. he meets C. T. Wang, the Chinese minister for foreign affairs. It is well known that the Chinese government considers that Shantung, Manchuria and all the Sino- Japanese questions are interwoven, and wants to settle all together to clear the atmosphere completely. The results of the Wang-Yoshizawa conferences are therefore of intense interest. The Chinese press persists, in believ- ing that Minister Yoshizawa's visit to Nanking is merely a gesture to help the ‘Tanaka ministry through the prese Diet crisis, and not intended really to solve the Chinese issues.

Another phase of experiments that are going forward to facilitate subma- rine salvage operations will be entered this afternoon at the Bureau of Stand- ards when the scientists, at the sugges- tion of the Navy Department, will test the strength of the steel loops on the submarines designed for attaching pon- toon lifting chains. Prof. H. L. Whitte- more will direct the tests, which will be conducted in the large Emery testing | machine, whereby the steel loops will be subjected to tenslon and compression tests. ‘The loops will be riveted to a block of metal simulating a submarine hull and connected with lifting chains to the testing machine, which has a pulling power of 1,000 tons, which is consid- ered greater than that to which a sub- marine hull will be subjected in salvage operations.
