EIGHT POWERS
AGREE ON CHINA
Pact Setting Forth Policy for
Eastern Questions Unani-
mouSly Adopted.
RESOLUTIONS BY ELIHU ROOT
Assure Respect for the Sovereignty,
the independence and the Terri
toriaI and Administrative In
tegrity of China.

Washington, Nov. 22.-It was re-
vealed here officially that common
agreement setting forth policy for
Eastern questions had been unani-
mously adopted by the eight powers
attending the conference. China, the
ninth power, necessarily was not a
party to the agreement, which set
forth the following purposes:
To Respect Sovereignty.
1. To respect the sovereignty, the
independence and the territorial and
administrative integrity Of China.
2. To provide the fullest and most
unembarrassed opportunity to China to
develop and maintain for herself an
effective and state government
3. To use their influence for the pur-
pose Of effectively establishing and
maintaining the principles Of equal OPP
pOrtunity for the commerce and in
dustry of the nations.
4. To refrain from taking advantage
of the present condition Of China's af-
fairs to seek special rights or priv
ileges which would abridge the rights
of subjects or citizens of friendly
states.
The resolutions were prepared for
consideration by Elihu Root. All the
members of the Pacific and Far-East-
ern committee were present except
Baron Shidahara and Senior Media Of
Italy.
1t was announced officially by the
British that this agreement does not
invalidate any AnglO-Japanese agree
ment.
Kato is Satisfied.
After the meeting adjourned Baron
Kato, the Japanese delegate. said:
Il am perfectly satisfied with the
action of the committee"
A British spokesman described the
resolutions as merely a review Of the
position of the powers with regard to
the policy which they undertake to
pursue in China. A series of resOlu-
tons cannot supersede anything
Spokesman for the Chinese delega-
lions do not cover all the principles
laid down in the ten pOints submitted
last week. They also object to the
failure of the committee to have all
treaties laid on the table and reviewed
by the conference. The Chinese de-
plOred, too, that no action had. been
taken toward checking up on a perma-
nent body in the East to watch Jap
ans future actions.
Doubt Is Raised.
The only serious doubt which arose
in conference circles in regard to the
four resolutions relates to the scope
of the phrase in resolution No 3,
throughout the territory of China"
The Chinese delegation insist that it
embraces the five integral parts of the
Chinese republic-China proper, Man
chura, Mongolia, Thibet and Chinese
Turkestan. The Japanese adhere
firmly to their intention not to engage
in any discussion directed towards
their expulsion from Manchuria.
The Chinese officially denied that
they would enter any separate treaty
with Japan respecting the Shantung
question. eve want the matter set
tied in the daylight, not in the dark"

ton

Washington, Dec. 21.-Charges that

Examined Propaganda.

propaganda in Opposition to. Ameri-
can valuations. Mr. Fordney contend
cd that a valid argument against the
principle involved is lacking"
The whole opposition is founded
on the question of rates and on al

sumner they predict will result from
the new rates." the house was told.
Charges Great Profit.
Mr.. Fordney declared he had dis
covered that the department store,
that is leading the. fight against
