It s an open secret that until Shantung is settled, most of the commitments par- tially entered Into here must remain in- defifite. : The naval treaty, fomplete except for the fortifications article, was given an- other examination today by the commit- tee of 15, but no changes were made. It now is regarded as probable by some delegate that no word regarding the fortifications pronosal will come from Tokio 'before nex; week, although the Japanese governnient already has given its approval to all but details of the ar- ticle’s text. 1 Today’s meeting of the far eastern committee was equally inconclusive, the deligates debating without final action the sittation of wireless facilgsies ifi China. It was voted to reconsider a res- olution adojied on December 7, to re- etrict use oF less plants and after FElihu Root had presented a substitute for his proposal of yesterday the whors subject was refered ta a sub-committee. At a meeting later in the day, the sub- committee likewise discussed the vari ous proposed resolutions without action. . Another sub-committee, however, con- sidering the plan for an International conference on rules of warfare, virtual- ly decided to leave thg conference call fo be issued by the American govern- ment with the understanding that some European city be selected wis the place ;Of meetinz. It was the sense of the sub-committee that the conference should take place within the next thres months, In moving to bring the Japanese ana Chinese together on Shantung, President Harding has fulfilled the role predicted for him by many friends when the con- ference began. By those close to him it was said then that by holding aloof from the ordinary course of the nego- tiations, he would be in a po- sition to step in as an jmpartial media- tor should an impasse threaten the con- ference programme.

The im- portance of a settlement was stressed Dy the chief executive, who pictured the benefits that would result not only to the broad .purnoses of the conference, \éul to the future tranquility of the Far ast. Dr. Sze indicated that he had been much impressed by the interview, but declared it had not yet resulted in a settlement. the president’s views are understood to have been ca- bled to Peking. Meantime, Amprichn spokesmen declared the difference b tween the two delegations had ben re- duced to “infinitesimal” preparations and that a faflure to agree seemed out of the question: of Di- o cal GERMAN DEADLOCK ON _ TAXATION ISSUES ENDED Berlin, Jan. 25 (By the A.
