PEIPING, May 25.—Indications ac- cumulated today that a truce had been reached in the North China fighting although both Japanese and Chinese authorities were reluctant to admit it or discuss the situation. Definite information was received that the Japanese advance had been halted, while Chinese forces were with- drawing to a line cutting across North China which was understood to be one of the main points of the reputed armistice agreement. Foreign military observers also were in the dark concerning the truce, but they declared the present military Pposition was “consistent with a truce.” Advices fro Tokio saying a truce likely ‘would be signed today at Miyum lacked confirmation here, but such action was considered probable.

President Roosevelt intends to make his new peace policy effective without chancing rejection by the Senate, tra- ditional defender of American isolation. a satisfactory arms reduction agreement is reached at Geneva, the Roosevelt doctrine of non-interference with co-operative efforts to enforce peace will be summed up in a declara- tion signed only by the United States :lnd thus not requiring Senate ratifica- on. Made Clear By Davis. This was made clear through the amplification by Norman H. Davis, Roosevelt ambassador at large, of the American position before the delegates at Geneva, which included one other statement considered of highest im- portance here. After an “aggressor nation” has been satisfactorily identified, Mr. Davis said, American non-interference with the efforts of consulting nations to main- tain peace will go to the extent of re- fusing protection to American citizens engaging in activities tendng to defeat those efforts, To the Senate will go the arms reduc- tion treaty, when and if it is signed. Two-thirds of the Senate must approve to _make it effective. But the peace policy will not be included. The new doctrine, however, appar- ently would be bound up_inextricably with the treaty and undoubtedly be the major subject of Senate debate. But even if the treaty were rejected Mr. Roosevelt would in no way be bound to mx-‘x” the’peudz licy. B ly pleased by signs at Geneva, Mr. Roosevelt cmtmm day his close watch on developments there, but concentrated on filling the delegation to the London World Eco- nomic Conference. It must sail next Wednesday and prompt appointment of two or three more members is urgent. ‘Wadsworth Likely Appointee. Representative James W. Wadsworth was regarded as a likely appointee. Senator Johnson of California late yes- terday declined an invitation to go. Mr. Roosevelt earlier yesterday had named Representative Sam D. Mc- g;vmm of Tennessee to the delega- n. Johnson’s declination to serve on the delegation did not come altogether as a surprise. As he left the White Honse after making his views known to the President the Californian said he ap- preciated the honor, but that it was “an absolute impossibility” for him to_go. Reports have been current that Mr. Roosevelt was finding some difficulty in filling out his delegation becsuse of the decision to limit the daily allow- ances of representatives to $6, far less than it would cost them to live in London.

Davis voiced regret at the Disarmament Conference today that Japan has proposed to delete any reference to the London and Wash- ington naval treaties from the arms convention that is being negotiated. ‘The Japanese position, the American representative said, might have a re- gretable effect on public opinion. has opposed reference to the treaties on the theory that it would sanctify pacts which will be unaccept- able to Japan when they expire. ‘The smaller powers and Russis at- tacked the naval strength of the big powers as discriminatory, and PFrance urged reduction 1n the size of battle- D ipe. Conference delegates pondered the fate of a pact of mutual assistance which may be presented today. The extent to which countries heavily armed will reduce their armaments will depend largely upon reaction to such a pact. Great Britain, it was learned, al- though the way was left clear for her participation, does not wish to enter the pact on the ground it should be restricted to the continent. Another question was whether Italian and German adherence could be won. Without them, it was admitted, such an agreement would be considerably W reakened. A two-point basis has been established by Prance for armaments reduction. The first is acceptance of the pact of mutual assistance by continental powers. The other is a géneral agreement for armaments supervision as suggested by President Roosevelt. 7 Nine Injured at Sale.
