Ready to Follow US.
Japs Approve in
Part-China PrQpos-
es Open Door for All
Parts of Country

Washington, Nov. 16-(By A. P.)-
The Washington conference today
turned to consideration Of Far East
ern questions with almost the same
momentum with which it tackled the
question Of naval ornaments.
It 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 basis for discussion
which represents their views.
The open sympathy Of the United
States with their position was at
once manifest. The British sup
ported it in many respects. The po-
sitions of the others were not so
clearly defined. although members OF
the japanese delegation have given
expression of approval, in part al
least, of China's bill Of rights
In brief, China wants guarantees
for territorial integrity. and political
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 British take an opposite view.
Today's session of the big nine was
occupied entirely with the presenta :
ton of China's views. Immediately
afterNard 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 position but previous pro-
nouncements by some of their repre-
sentatives have put them in line
with some parts of China's propos-
ais.
The discussion of Far Eastern af-
fairs will be continued at another
meeting tomorrow. Meanwhile the
committee of admirals appointed at
Yesterdays meeting of the big FIVE is
continuing its examination of the
American proposals for naval limita-
ton.
