Agreement Momentous One
Says Lansing In Pub

Washington, Nov. 6.-Japan and
the United States have reached a
complete agreement in regard to
China and at the same time have ar
rived at a clear understanding as to
military. naval, and economic CO.
operation in the war against Ger
many.
This momentous development was
announced today by Sec Lansing,
who made public notes exchanged by
him and Viscount Ishii, the special
Japanese ambassador, formally re-
cording an agreement recognizing
that Japan has q special interest in
China, but pledgiEg the independence
and territorial integrity of the great
eastern republic and reafiirming the
doctrine of the "open door" for COM
merce and industry
In a statement accompanying the
note Mr.. Lansing said Viscount IshiI
and the members of his mission now
on their way home, had performed a
service of the highest value to the
United States as well as to Japan by
clearing away misunderstanding
which, if unchecked, promised to de-
velop a serious situation in the far

Would Give Japan Control of Nam

Toxic. Nov. 6.-Advices from Pc
kin. says the military authorities of
South China have sent strong pro-
test to the capital against a proposed
Japanese arms loan of 10000, 900
yen The loan would carry with it
control of 4he Marking iron deposits
and the employment of japanese
military advisers.
Several weeks ago the suggested
loan met considerable opposition in
Japan, but government circles ex-
planned that this country merely pro-
posed to help the Tuan ministry re-
organize the Chinese army, and
that the United States would supply
China with arms il Japan did not
do so. Any intention of depressing
South China, was disclaimed.

Harlem and the Bronx, he polled more
votes than Mitchell Hillquit ran on
u sstraight-cut peace platform. He de-
clared a victory for him would be a
mandate to the government to ne
gotiate an immediate peace.
Hylan carried all five burroughs of
Greater New York. His best showing
was in Brooklyn where Bennett poll
led a large part of the primary vote
which won him the Republican nom-
ination after a recount. It was con-
ceded by the managers of all parties
that many of the votes cast for Ben
nett would have gone to Mitchell if he
had been the Republican nominee,
but Benefits total for more than half
the city added to A9itchePs would not
have been enough to defeat Hylan.
