China will not be involved. The artangements agreed upon by the big three last Friday and now awaiting approval from Tokyo, deal with the Pacific ocean, rather than China proper.

His intention, recently announced, Was to all Germany in toward the close of the conférence to put on her retord as approving certain measures adopted. It was the apparent intention of having Germany's written acceptance of provisions regarding land disarma. ment and of securing her co.opera- tion in certain financial arrange- ménts, But the indications ore growing that the armament conferénce will deal with neither of these questions— at least in any final way—and the need of having German representa. tives on hand ts therefore felt to havé disappeared.
