AMERICA TO FORM AGENCY
America Is Expected To Offer Set OF
Principles On Far Eastern
oues.'on Shortly

Washington.-The American govern
ment is expected ultimately to pro
pose the formation of permanent in
ternational agency for the discussion
and settlement OF future disputes re
/ lating to the far east.
The agency would grow out OF the
far eastern program the powers rep
resented in the conference on arma
ments are now waiting for Secretary
Hughes to submit.
The American proposals will be a
set of principles for which 1t is hoped
universal agreement can be obtained.
They will be broad in character, and
will serve as the basis for the future
conduct of the nations in Asia. The
reduction of naval strength is predi-
Gated on their acceptance.
The international agency would be
to put those principles into force,
and to discuss the differences that
would arise in their application and
Interpretation.
1t would be the substitute for force
which has heretofore been the means
of settlement, and which the confer
ence hopes to make obsolete, with all
navies on defensive footing. 1t would
be the means through which the pow
ers would discuss their disagreements,
and arrive at decisions. Having sought
to eliminatethe GAUGES of war, the
agency would be an instrument to pre-
vent creationof new causes for war.
Differences would be certain to
arise in the future, it is agreed, no
matter in how great accord the powers
find themselves as to principles. One
power would interpret agreements in
way entirely different from another.
The dispute as to the meaning of the
Lansing Ishii agreement, and the
Hay Paunceforte treaty are cited as
cases in point In the Lansing Ishii
agreement the question at issue was
what America meant by two words
the special interests" of Japan in
China, which she recognized.
What form the international agency
would take-whether it would be a
union, or concert, or conference of

might be permanent tribunal of
some sort, or it might be a confer
ence to meet at stipulated intervals,
Or when need arose. Two things are

Opposes Pending Changes In Act
Washington.-Wa Warning was given
the interstate commerce committee OF

field, of Baltimore, president of the
National Association of Owners of
Railroad Securities, that pending and
proposed legislation amending the rail
road reorganization act, if adopted,
will reopen the whole question OF gov

This legislation, which includes the
pending Capper bill and amendments

MORAL SUPPORT GIVEN China
Japan Expresses Approval In Part OF
Bill OF Rights-china Would Pledge
Retention OF All Her Territory

Washington.-The Washington con-
ference recently turned to considera-
ton OF Far Eastern questions with al
most the same momentum with which
1t tackled the question OF naval arm
aments.
II was the Chinese delegates who
led the way this time In the COM
mittee Of nine, at which all nations
participating were represented, they
produced a basis for discussion which
represents their views.
The open sympathy of the United
States with their position was at once
manifest The British supported it
in many respects. The positions of
the others were not so clearly defined,
although members of the Japaneses
delegation have given expressions of
approval, in part at least, of China's
bill of rights"
In brief, China wants guarantees
for territorial integrity and political
and administrative independence; she
proposes the open door for all in all
parts of the country; she wants all
spheres of influence relinquished; she
wants no treaties made affecting her
without being consulted about them.
The full extent of China's position
is much broader than this, but these
are the essentials. The last feature
may be construed as affecting the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, although the
Drift fol nnnncitn uinXu
The recent sessions of the big nine
was occupied entirely with the pre- |
sentation of China's views. Immedi- |
ately afterward it became known that |
they commanded the moral support of |
the United States The British view
points were made known little later.
The Japanese did not state their reac-
ton but previous announcements by |
some of their representatives have put
them in line with some parts of
China's proposals.
The discussion of Far Eastern af- /
fairs will be continued at another
meeting soon. Meanwhile the COM
mittee of admirals appointed at the
recent meeting of the big five is con-
tinuing its examination of the Amer
lean proposals for naval limitation.
Acceptance in spirit and in letter of
the principles suggested by China for
solution of the Far Eastern problems
would, in the opinion of some diplo-
matte experts, have sweeping effect
on the aspect of the whole Pacific and
Oriental situation.
AS analysed by some, the policies
by the Chinese delegation
might not only do away with the ex-
sting spurious influence" in the Far
Cast and put an end to extra terri
orial rights within the Chinese re-
public, but might also erect bar
Ter against renewal of the Anglo-Japa-
lese alliance unless China were given
N opportunity of becoming a party
o it. The British do not take this
Jew.
Responsible officials Of all the dele
atoms reserved Judgment regarding
he effects Of the Chinese plan pre-
erring to scrutinize 1t with greatest
are. The possible influence on the
.nglo-J Japanese alliance aroused live
est interest In the discussions of the
elegates generally and every nation ;
epresented found much food for r
1ought when its special interests I
ere considered in connection with '
lie proposal.
