VIENNA, December 3O.-President
Hainisch has ratified the protocol
signed at Venice last October relative
to settlement of the dispute between
Austria and Hungary over Burgen-
land, the strip of west Hungarian
territory awarded to Austria by the
peace treaty.
According to semi-official note.
ratification of the protocol does not
imply recognition Of the Oedenburg
plebiscite. but is intended as an ex-
preston of the desire to comply with
the expectation of the powers. among
whom, it is declared, delay might
awaken doubts ''as to the reliability
of the Austrian policy" Other rea-
sons for ratification are given as the
wish to show defense to the power
which took the initiative in interven-
ing between Hungary and Austria
and to the decision of the ambassa-
doris council recognizing the Oeden-
burg plebiscite and ordering the terri
tory to be handed over to Hungary.
One of the features of the Venice
protocol which was drawn up through
the initiative of Italy, was the agree
ment by Austria to return Oedenburg.
one of the principal cities of Burgen-
land. to Hungary as soon as Burgen-
land had been cleared of Hungarian
irregulars.

The French delegate thanked Lord

that they should dispel the "misunder-

been avoided by "a direct and friendly

Refers to Criticism.
Lord Lee had spoken of the ground
France had lost during the delibera-
tionS. NJ. Sarraut continued, adding:
Il am well aware that every day
in the press we witness a campai ign
of bitter criticism launched against
US. against the motives of France to
the end that our country may be made
to appear under the aggressive guiSe
of imperialism and militarism. We
have remained silent in spite of the
violent prejudice which this cam
paign was arousing against us. There
are times when we must suffer for
our friends.
If each and every day we had to
defend ourselves against such sus-
plclons; if. when we come here for
the purpose of working for the pro-
posed peace by means of reductions of
armaments. We must continually see
the spectre of war dangled before US
and be made aware of an undercur-
rent Of thought concerning mutual
threats or of an idea that is attribut ed
to US of plans of aggression against
those who have mingled their blood
with ours on all the battlefields of the
greatest war the world has known,
then, indeed, we would be impatient to
see the end of the conference which
has brought US the bitterness of such
a disappointment"
In conclusion, NJ. Sarraut said he
would not discuss the Root resolu-
ton banning submarine warfare on
merchant ships, because he wished
the expression of our feelings" to
have not alone the authority of the
delegation. but that it might be
clothed with all the moral force that
belongs to the decisions of the French
government"

If the Washington conference ac-

war between four powerful nations,
it has scored a success" according to
statement issued by Senator Edge

of what has been done by the confer

because of criticisms being made
by some members of the Senate"
The senator said the conference had
accomplished considerably and that

ISSUE
NOW DEADLOCKED
Hope Nearly Gone of Settle
ment by Direct Nego-
tiati0nS.

A real deadlock has come about in
the negotiations between Japan and
China in their effort to settle the
Shantung controversy by direct con-
versations and it is believed that
there is very little hope that any IA
yorable agreement will be reached dur
ing the course of the present confer
ence. A Chinese spokesman last
night said that the question would
be put up to the conference itself by the
Chinese delegation unless some other
means to solution were found. vice
Foreign Minister Hanihara. however.
has made clear the Japanese stand
that this would not be acceptable on
the grounds that the Shantung ques-
tion was not on the agenda and did
not come within the scope of Presi-
dent Harding's invitation to the con-
ference when he referred to the de-

of arbitration or tribunal to SIT IN

Have But Little Hope.
AS for a happy settlement IN the
conversations between the Two ma
tions. officials extesd but little hope.
The japanese delegates feel that Sec
retary Hughes and Mr.. Balfour might
possibly tender their good offices In
an attempt at settlement. but they
prefer direct negotiations between
Japan and China.
II am still hopeful of such direct
settlement" Mr.. Hanihara said last
night; but we have already made
more concessions in this matter than
was proper-in fact, We exceeded the
instructions of our home government.
When we felt we could continue the
conversations no longer we submitted
the matter to Toxic, and our program
even exceeding instructions was ap-
proved
China also feels that she already
has done more than her share in try
ing to solve the Shantung puzzle.
China cannot make any more con-
cessions; in fact she has made too
many already" one of the Chinese
delegates said last night.
Both Stand Firm.
Japan's attitude on the question is
that she has gone more than half way
in conceding the entire management
of the Shantung railway to CHINA, but
will not give in in her demands that
China borrow the money for the in
demnity from Japan and that certain
of the railway officials be japanese
The Chinese delegates believe these
demands to be unjust and fatty re-
fuse to agree to them.
I'VE are ready to meet our Chinese
friends and if they are ready to re-
consider the question. we will be glad
to talk it over again with them." Mr..
Hanihara said, but if they do not
reconsider. l must say that settle
ment will be very difficult"
