Plan Urged
By Chinese
Delegates to Arms Conference
Opposed to Secret Treaties
DR.. Wellington Koo
Presents Proposal.
Far East Issue to Front

Washington. Nov. l6-(By The
Associated Press. )-Preseryation OF
territorial integrity and political
aud administrative independence"
together with preservation OF the
open door policy and prohibition
against secret treaties in the far
east, were included in the Chinese
proposal, outlined today at the in.
i,ial session OF the armament con-
ference on far eastern questions.
Future Conferences.
China in return would agree mot
to aiena,e or lease any portion OF
us territory" 10 any foreign power,
and Nall special rights, privileges, im-
munities or commitments" now held
in China by any foreign power arc
TO be carefully re-examined.
All existing limitations upon
} China's political. jurisdictional and
administrative freedom OF action
would be removed and provision
made for future conferences from
time to tine for the international
discussion OF the far eastern situa-
ton.
Respect for Rights.
Other elements OF the Chinese
proposals provide for full respect for
China's rights as neutral in all fu-
ture wars TO which the nation is not
party and for peaceful settltment
of international disputes in the Pa
cihc and far east.
DR.. Wellington Koo, who pre-
sented the Chinese proposals said,
they were made in the interest OF
all powers involved in the far east
as we'll as Of China and If adopted
would pave the way toward solving
some of the perplexing problems in
laying hrmer foundation of the Pa
cihc and far east.
There was no response from the
Japanese after China had presented
her view of the situation, and al
though some general discussion de-
veloped, all of the other nations rep
resented reserved a detailed state
ment OF their opinions for later pre-
scntation.
Indications were that the first at
tempt to get downto cases would be
made in the meeting of the heads OF

Acceptance of Principles
Would Have Sweeping Eff
feet on Pacific Problem
In Opinion of Experts.
By The Associated Press.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Accept-
ancc in spirit and in letter of the
principles suggested by China for
solution of the far eastern problems,
would in the opinion OF some Dip
lomatic experts, have a sweeping ef-
feet on the aspect OF the Pacific. and
oriental situation.
As analyzed by some, the policies
proposed by the Chinese delegation
might not only do away with
spheres of influence" in the far east
and end extra territorial right with
in China, but hight also erect bar
rier against renewal of the Anglo
Japanese alliance unless China were
given opportunity of becoming a
party to it, British do not take this
view.
Reserve Judgment.
Responsible officials Of the dele
cations reserved judgment regard
ing effects Of the Chinese plan, pre-
ferring to scrutinize it closely.
That portion of the Chinese state
ment to which the japanese appeared
to attach greater Importance as af-
fecting their individual national in
terests was the section proposing
that existing commitments relating
to China should be examined with
view to determining their scope
and validity" Japan has maintained
that CLOSED incidents" should not
be considered within the province
of the conference and although its
spokesmen declare themselves ready
to admit any shortcomings OF which
world opinion may find i. guilty,
they assert that to go back through
history and question the validity of
old agreements would complicate an
agreement
Opens Many Covenants.
In the opinion Of many Of those
connected with the conference, this
provision of the Chinese plan would
throw open to review by the arma-
ment conference, many covenants,
including the agreement growing
out OF the demands, the leases held
by Japan on Shantung and Man
churia, and numerous contracts per-
mitting foreign control OF railroads
in China. In addition it has been
charged by Chinese authorities that
foreign nations have concluded
treaties" with various local Chinese
potenta.es, and all OF these might
have to be laid on the table if the
proposed principles were accepted.
Some thought it likely that the An
glo-Japanese alliance might also fall
under the classification of this sec
tion of the Chinese proposal al
though the section regarded as af-
iecting it more directly is that by
which the powers would "agree not
to conclude between themselves any
treaty or agreement directly affect
ing China or the general peace OF
these regions without previously no.
