that in another branch of the WASH

meetings in which apparent progress
had been made. both the japanese and
Chinese came out of a conference late
today showing signs of somewhat

The question Of financial settle

Neither side was disposed to regard
the situation as a crisis, but each

to the leaders was given byN the de-

date of his departure had been fixed

must be submitted by President
Harding for ratification. Senator La
Toilette, Republican. Wisconsin, de-

1t now appears likely that there
Nill be four or more treaties to send
to the senate when the conference is

There is a growing impression that
the navals ratio and the Far Eastern

agreement on naval bases in the Pa
