Gain Agreement, 1t Is Said.

SaIn agreement IL is oaiu.
Pekin.-The Chinese people would
regret it if the Washington conference
failed owing to a disagreement Of the

price Of obtaining an agreement. They
are determined if the price to be paid
involves Chinese political and terri
torial entity, it will be resisted as I'M
just and unacceptable.
DR.. w. w. Yen, the foreign minister,
makes this statement in a special ar

article generally is considered to be
an expression of the official Chinese
