JAPS' PROPOSAL
ALREADY DOOMED

Washington, June 13.-The attempt
on the part of the Japanese delegates
to The Hague conference to secure
consideration for proposition to rec
ognize as a tenet of international law
the right of belligerent to retain
possession permanently of the terri
tory of its opponent which it occu-
pied at the time of the making of
peace is foredoomed to failure, in the
opinion of officials here.
1t is pointed out that there is moth.
ing new in this proposition, in fact.
it has become rather antiquated and
untitled for modern usage. Latter
day practice is for the conquering ma
tion to secure as much of the terri
tory of its unsuccessful enemy as can
be obtained. the usual result of the
peace negotiations being a compro-
mise between the extreme views.
