HOPE FOR PEACE
No Reason Tor Belief That
Agreement in China Will
Not Be Reached
POWERS WILL ACT AS UNIT
Any Move by England and Japan
Will Be With Their Full
Approval.

Washington, D. c.. December "a
Secretary Knox conferred to day about
Chinese affairs with Masanao HAM
pending the arrival of the newly ap-
pointed amba ssador. Neither would
disclose the nature of the discussion,
but 1t is understood that the conclu-
sion was reached that there was as
yet no reason to abandon hope that
the Chinese peace commissioners in
Shanghai would be able to reach a
basis OF agreement.
The nations interested In speedy
restoration OF peace are believed to
be earnestly considering the advisa-
bility of experimenting their identical
note, delivered at the beginning of the
peace conference, TO sat out the earn
est hope of these nations that success
would crown at the conference. The
supplementary note. If 1t should be
agreed upon, probably would make
it appear in no uncertain terms that
the powers do not propose to look
with equanimity upon a resumption of
hostllities.
A factor that Is deterring the ele-
ment in favor of making such strong
representations at this moment is a
fear that the effect might'be to arouse
feeling of resentment among tho
republican advocates in China that
not only would endanger the success
of the attempt to restore peace, but
actually would jeopardize THO safety
of foreigners now in China.
Powers Act as Unit.
In regard to tho rumors OF inter
vention by England and Japan or one
of these countries, it is intimated at
the State Department that even IL
they should appear to be taking the
initiative in an offer of mediation,
they actually would be acting in be-
half of all of the six powers inter
ested and with their full approval.
In other words, nothing has yet de-
veloped to impair the binding force
of the understanding into which these
six powers entered several weeks ago
to act as a unit In dealing with the
Chinese situation.
Although the lack of money is be-
coming keenly manifest In Picking,
this understanding among the powers
so far has enabled them successfully
to resist the most tempting offers of
high interest and extraordinary, con-
cessions for loans. Moreover, the very
lack of funds on both sides, 1t is
thought. may tend to hasten the peace
negotiations. and therefore 1t seems
probable that the six powers will ad Z
here to their determination to retIse
further loans. even though consider
able suffering !s inYclysd :; y
