Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning World. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 (Copyright, 1921)—-AJl the questions relating to submarines, fortifications and Far Wastern ques- tions have been tied together and will ‘de embcdied in a general agreement. This is the latest development in the Armament Conference, and with it goes an explanation of the talk of a four-power “treaty” or “alliance,” as well as the various steps that will be taken In the immediate future. Instead of making a soparate ar- rangement on the ratio of strength in battleships, the Japanese are being instructed to accept the American Proposal on the understanding that there will be an agreement forbidding any increase in fortifications {n the Pacific, an agreement covering sub- marines and auxiliary craft, and an agreement embodying the principles that shall apply to Chinese and Pa- cific problems. The authority for the foregoing is Kotaro Mochizuki, head of the oppo- sition party in the Japanese Parlia- ment, who by arrangement with the Japanese Embassy had a long con- versation with President Harding on Wednesday at the White House. Bince be is not an official delegate, Mr. Mochizuki talks with less re- straint. His conception of what Is Ghead in the conference is based cf course upon intimate relationship not only with the Japannse delegatiou bere but upon cabled information from Japan. The Evening World correspondent finds from American sources that the political situation in Japan js as much responsible for the new turn which the programme has taken as anything else. Originally, it will be remembered, the apparent unanimity of opinion on the naval proposals led to the belief that a separate ag-co- ment would be signed on that phase of armament Irrespective of what happened about the other questions on the agenda, Both tho Americans and the Japanese were ready. Some criticlam was heard about the policy of the American delegation being ready “to sign away the Amer- jean Navy” without knowing what the rest of the programme in the Pa- cific would be, This corresponknt stated then that the United Status Government had confident assur- ances that the Anglo-Japanese Alli- ance would not be renewed. Coinvi- dentally, however, Pressure for an acceptance of. the 5-5-8 naval ratio developed a delicate situation for the Jauanese Cabinet, which has hoped for an opportunity to prevent any appearance of concod- ing directly to the American view. ‘The suggestion of a general agroe- ment covering all the points being discussed in the Washington Confer ence was seized upon as the way out. Hence the Japanese are ready to accede to the naval ratio on battle- ships and a plenary session will be held in a few days to announce that fact, but the decision will not be «f- fective until an agreement has Leen made on other points. The formula is for all the nations to agree step by step to the battleship ratio, sub- marines, the fortification question and Far Eastern problems and later to embody all the separate menmwr- anda into a single agreement cover- ing the whole business. ‘The Anal agreement a® at present plated would not vo « treaty technical sense, but a “conven- d would not have to be ratt- fied by the Senate since it is con- strued "py President Harding an “understanding, jan NEWS OF U.

(Signed) IRISH WORLD. That the Sinn Fein Parliament will undoubtedly ratify the agreement is indicated in a formal statement issued in Washington by Harry Bo- land, special envoy of Eamon De Valera, This statement was evident- ly based on information from Ireland. A national convention of the Friends of Irish Freedom, of which Bishop Gallagher of Detroit is Presi- dent, has been called to meet Satur- day morning at 10 o'clock in the Hotel Astor, The convention will last two days, and according to the Gaclic American published yester- day credentials have been issued to approximately 2,500 delegates, Although the collective judgment of this body has several times gone on record in opposition to Eamon De Valera, Justice Daniel F. Cohalan, one of the leaders whose hostility to Mr, De Valera appeared to be the Strongest, issued a statement yester- day in which he conceded at least a diplomatic triumph to Lloyd George. Word came from Philadelphia yes- terday that Michael J. Ryan, one pf the strong men in the Friends, has accepted the terms so far As be ie con- cerned and stated that “if they are watisfactory to the people of Ireland they must be to those in the United @tates who have aided them and whose sacrifices have made the splendid re~ sistance ible.” Judge Deniel F, Cohalan said: “Lioyd George has won the greatest diplomatic triumph of his career.

Breathing stopped. A flooded battery means chlorine, Lieut, Smith, taking Fritz with him and a Lake man called “Pop” Miller and another civilian who had been a chief petty officer during the war, sprang to the flooded battery and be- gan bailing to get the sea water be- low the level of the containers with their sulphuric acid mixture.

Borah urged the calling of an in- ternational conference of Great Brit- oin, France, Japan and Germany to “rewrite this treaty so Europe can live.” Revision of the treaty ‘s the only way to save Europe, Borah asserted in an exclusive interview. Unless Europe can be saved and restored to normal, the United States not only stands small chance of collecting the more than $11,000,000,000 already due }en war loans, but American pros- perity will suffer through the fail- ure of foreign markets, he pointed jout.

But the United States cannot save Bu- rope, however willing we might be to try, unless Europe is willing to be saved. “Until the Versailles Treaty is rad- leally changed and completely over- hauled no power can save Burope. Next to disarma: it, the most essen- tial thing for the bringing of peace and the restoring of economic sanity is tho modification of the Treaty. Unless that is done the United States will waste time and money in any effort to restore normalcy in Europe.” Every economist in Europe knows this, Borah said, and ail have warned of the consequences not only to Europe but to America, which now stands as the only bulwark betwren the world and financial and moral bankruptcy. “If the policies of France and Great Britain are to continue, and Ger- many ts to be destroyed, balkanized and dismembered, the mere cancella- tion of the Allied debt to the United States will avail nothing,” continued Borah, referring to propaganda in this country for canpelie the debt. “That would be like trying to start a summer garden on the lava slopea of Vesuvius, “There {8 no doubt the bankruptoy of Germany is imminent.
