JAPAN WILLING TO
SIT IN ON TALK FOR
DISARMAMENT THE
TOXIC PAPERS SAY
But HARDING'S INCLUSION OF
FAR EAST IN CONFERENCE Is
ACCEPTED WITH CERTAIN
RESERVATIONS
by the Associated Prsss)

Toxic. July 14.-Japan's answer to
President Harding's proposal for
coference on limitation Of armaments,
which has been forwarded to Wash
ington. while accepting the suggestion
for an armament conference. says the
Jill Shimpo today, makes reservations
concerning general far eastern ques-
tions until more has been learned as
to the scope and nature Of the ques.
tons to be considered. What the
significance OF President Harding's
call for a far eastern conference and
how such a conference would affect
Japan's future position in world af.
fairs are the queries dominating pub
lie discussion. The trend Of this
discussion creates the impression that
while Japan anticipated the call for
a conference with Great Britain and
the United States, she is surprised
at the inclusion Of other powers in
the invitation, and looks with trepida-
ton on an international examination,
OF a magnitude promising 10 exceed
preconceived ideas into far eastern
questions.
Generally speaking. the fear is
voiced that Japan may be forced to
play lone hand and have another
diplomatic battle on her hands, sim
liar to that at the Paris conference.
besides being placed on the defensive
as regards her far eastern rights.
Madrid. July l5.-Commenting on
President Harding's proposal for a
disarmament conference, FL Sol says
the present moment does not seem TO
be a propiuous one for IL.
The various governments are d.
vertlng themseles with Utopian
schemes for disarmament, just the
same as before the war" 1t argues,
while each is trying TO obtain su-
premacy on land and sea"
The first action OF President Hard
ing when he came into power" FL Sol
continues. was TO take away au-
thouty from the league OF nations
which. whatever may be said. was the
only international organization con
tainlng the germ OF possible agree
mcnt. We do not expect any other
result at the Washington conference
than that obtained from the confer
encc OF similar kind held before
the war"
