the extra territorial rights and sym
pathetic responses were said to have
been voiced by the representatives of
the other powers.
Belief was generally expressed,
however, that the rights could not be
granted Immediately, in view of the
situation in China, but that the aboli-
ton should come as promptly as COM
patible with the present situation and
progress of China.
The committee upon reaching the
general agreement authorized the APP
pointment of a subcommittee, headed
ty Senator Lodge of the American
delegation to present the principle in
the concrete form of a resolution.
Shifts To Rights
The arms conference discussion of
Far Eastern questions shifted today
TO the possibility of abridging the sys-
tenn of extra territorial rights" I'M
Ger which the powers maintain their
own judicial agencies in China for the
trial of cases in which their respective
nationals arc involved.
China wants the extra territorial
privilege abolished altogether although
her Delegates have indicated doubt
whether the present judicial machin-
cry of the Chinese government would
make it possible TO withdraw the for
eign tribunals Immediately. All the
other nations concerned have express
cd a hope that something can be done
towards modifying the present sys-
TEN, but have evidenced a conviction
in the main that nothing of a very
sweeping character can be accom-
plished at present.
The session of the nine delegations
sitting as committee of the whole
to discuss the extra territorial prob
lem was the only meeting of the con-
ference or its subdivisions on todays
program.
