PLAN TO SETTLE
FAR EAST ISSUE
DR.. Wellington Koo An
nounces Principles on
Which Chinese Pro-
!. poSaIS to Be Based
BY Associated Press

Washington. November l4-China' $
delegation to the Washington con-
ference will present proposals look
ing to the settlement of far eastern
problems as far as China Is con
/. cerned. based on the following gen
eraI principles, DR.. Wellington Koo.
Z ambassador to Great Britain and a
member of the delegation, said to-
day:
On the rehabilitation of China de-
ponds the peace of far east.
China must be enabled to work out
its economic salvation through the
development of the country's i'm
mense natural resources.
Chinas territorial integrity must
be guaranteed and safeguarded
against aggression from other ma
tons. and further inroaes through
foreign concessions put an end.
China must have absolute politi-
cal independence with freedom from
foreign interference.
Concrete proposals had not been
framed yet. DR.. Koo said, but will
await determination of plans of the
conference to take up the far eastern
situation.
China had no intention, he con-
tinaed, of being importunate in its
plan, and would limit proposals to
what it was believed could be ac-
eomplished.
Will Take Time
You know the world was not built
in night" he said, and the situa-
ton in China cannot be changed
hastily China's needs are so many
that it would be Unreasonable to ex-
pect to accomplish everything at this
conference" ~.
Concerning what lie termed the
many existing handicaps to China de-
veloping, its resources and hehabiI-
itating its finance, DIR. Koo called at
tention to the necessity for China to
control the railroads, and laid par
ticular stress on the tariff restric-
tons placed by the powers limiting
to per cent the duty collectable on
imports. He thought that the sched-
ule should be revised every 10 years,
whereas China was still confined to
a schedule more than 20 years old.
China. DR.. Koo said. feels an econ
omie yoke imposed by the powers
through concessions, but he indicated
there seemed to be no immediate
hope for their complete cancellation.
il expressed the hope that one of the
results of the conference would be
an agreement to put an end to con-
cessions involving sacrifice of SOW
eieignity.
China. he said would be willing to
work out in agreement with the pow
ers a scheme for her rehabilitat ton.
She has no desire, he added to re-
serve for. herself all material bene-
fits resulting from the development
OF the vast resources, but was will
ling that foreign capital participate
on satisfactory terms not Involving
economic aggression.

A very clever little comedy act on
two inhabitants of an apartment
house, a man and woman, who are
both locked out one night and have
both lost their keys, is one of the
popular offerings on the Lyric bill
for this half. This skit Is admirably
presented and has been very wittily
written. The idea is new and the
conversation breezy and it's not so
bad for little love story. Lots OF
hearty laughs and good hand went
to this.
Another fine act is Coon Town
Divorcons," a one-act skit on the
matrimonial troubles of burnt corf
gentleman, whose wife has evidently
gotten the best of him. John Kink
and Irwin Dale are certainly fine in
this, one is a lawyer, the other acts
the mistreated husband and the wife
Of fighting tendencies. After several
minutes OF comical black face stuff
this act closes with surprise twist
and big laugh. Everybody in the
audience well pleased.
Melva Tama, THE Sunshine Cir.
is another fine feature on a bill Of
features. Miss Tama, a her little

deal on her personality and has
plenty of it, but she also has wonder

that each told story were highly
enjoyed.

general variety is very interesting

and settings are excellent. The in

and at the performance last night
several of the audience became so
interested that in a certain scene
they gave voice to their thoughts.
The play Is built around the re-
construction days, and the racial
trouble existing then was the main
idea. 1t also takes the Ku Klux

A story of the time of the French
revolution that embodies all of the
terror and intense drama of that
time is "All For a Woman" at the
Trianon. 1t tells of the great con-
fiict waged between Robespierre and
Danton in that outburst of an op-
pressed people when rational ideas
struggled to keep the fanatical MOB
leaders from power and lust. Ana at
that time, even in the most troublous
period, there was, as there will al

nobility forms the love theme.

and gripping and tragic.
The producers have done everything
to put over the French revolution
scenes and the more picturesque
scenes of peace. A fine cast has
been selected with an unsual num-
Der of very able and impressive ac-
tors. Bobespierre and Danton are
given very strong portrayals.

He has long planned a tour of the country on the legiti- mate stage and his ambition found realization early last fall through the complete return of his wonderful voice. On Thursday and Friday he will enact Ghosts" The name of Ibsen is one that is famous in the theatrical world and the production of one of his plays is in every sense 8 theatrical eve.lt

DOROTHY G|SH |S
 AT THE RAMONA

The Ramona rushes to the front this week with the most pretentious program of double movies that has been offered for some time at any of the local screen shops. First. the management will supply Dorothy Gish, the cute little Paramount star in her best picture Turning the Tables" a feature in itself, and is if that were not enough Fatty Arbuckle will be served as the biggest after dish ever handed out for a movie fan as extra inducement. Fatty will be seen in one of the finest comedies he has ever done for the Paramount program. It is called Back Stage and rivals even the fast moving Night at a Show with Charlie Chaplin.
 This double bill will also have fine western added attraction and the usual Hoot Gibson crowd will be there to welcome the big fellow as he rides and shoots his way to popular ity.
 Starting in Wednesday when this program changes the Ramona man agement will offer the biggest musi cal comedy show that has ever played Phoenix. Eighteen people with a sparkling chorus of girls will be the dish served for Ramona patrons and it should attract no little attention here. The fact that this big show is going into the Ramona at the reg ular prices is also a big asset and the announcement of the manage ment and the director will come as a big surprise to even those who have learned that the Ramona hands out much more than any other shop in Phoenix.

 In addition to the comedy there is a Pathe News with several hundred feet of pictures taken on the occasion of the recent Pioneers reunion held in Phoenix at Riverside park. As this is a local picture and there are many who have friends in the pie ture, it should find a welcome here. It will be shown for three days at the Strand accompanying the DeMille feature.
