TALKING ABOUT TREATIES

WASHINGTON February S.--An Associated
Press reporter obtained today from Represent
alive Belmont, chairman of the house commit
tee on foreign affairs, an important statement
with regard to the Chinese question, and also
as to the pending treaty with Great Britain
In reply to questions of the reporter, Mr.. Bel
mont said he felt he could properly state that
negotiations had been pending for some time
for an amicable settlement of the Chinese
question. They had been suspended during
the summer in consequence of the absence of
the Chinese minister but had
now been resumed, and wero reaching
completion He understood III fact
that draft of the proposed treaty had been
transmitted to the Chinese minister today con-
tanning such notifications of the existing
treaty as would bring about the complete eX-
clusion of that class of immigrants to which
the people of the western coast objected. 1t
was only Just to the Chinese government TO
say there was no disposition on their part to
stand in the way of such an agreement and
he believed there was a strong prospect that
within q month we would have treaty which
would etlectually dispose of the question. 1t
would of course, be necessary for congress to
enact legislation to carry out the purpose of
such q treaty, and, therefore, it was desirable
that the bills now pending before the house
should not be hastily acted upon. If there
should be failure of negotiation, which did
not seem likely, congress would be informed
i'll ample time to pass independent legislation.
Mr.. Belmont further said that any treaty ar
rangement with China to prevent Chinese inn
migration would of course have 10 be supple
mented by some stringent legislation, and per-
haps even by some treaty stipulations with
Great Britain to suppress the introduction of
Chinese coolie labor by the way of Hong Kong
and Vancouver, by which our present re-
strctive laws were largely avoided 1t was
understood there would be no difficulty on this
score.
