srondence recently exchanged be-
tween Japan and China will show
that the Emergencies of opinion be-
tween the two governments are more
apparent than real. We are hopeful
that this meeting will be able to de-
termine in common accord the essen
tial terms Of settlement, leaving the
matters Of detail or of local nature
for arrangement by the commissions
ers of the two governments to be spe-
cially appointed for that purpose.
8 Statement by Mr.. SEE on behalf of
the Chinese delegation:
Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Balfour:
Il desire first Of all to express, on
behalf of the Chinese delegation, the
sincere thanks and appreciation for
the friendly and good offices that YOU
two gentlemen have offered on behalf
about conversations with view to a
fair settlement of the Shantung Ques-
ton. I need not add anything more
to what I said yesterday at the gen
eral meeting OF the full committee.
The Shantung question is one of
vital Importance to China. Its inn
portance to China and the difficulties
connected Herewith are too well
known to all to need any remarks by
me today 1t is universally admitted
that the condition is unsatisfactory
and that an early and speedy solution.
fair and just and satisfactory to the
desires and aspirations of the Chinese
people. is necessary.
I join with you all in the hope that
our conversations will be fruitful OF
results, resulting in fair and just
settlement.
Thankful for Understanding.
with reference to the observation
Of Baron Kato that the Japanese
government was not unmindful OF the
difficulties which have confronted the
Chinese government in regard to the
method of settling this question, the
Chinese delegation is gratified that
these difficulties have been perceived
by the Japanese observation-disclosures
ties which have made necessary the
resort to the present procedure which
under the good offices of Mr.. Hughes
and Mr.. Balfour in behalf Of their re-
spective governments, has been ini-
tiated.'
This conversation was resumed al
$3.50 this afternoon, together with
the American and British represen-
tatives. Prince Tokugawa replaced
this session.
ut was agreed on the part of the
two delegations that in discussing the
Shantung question they would take
the actual facts and not the academic
viewpoints as the basis of discussion
"nlcn Will De ioT tHe sole purpose OF
promoting mutual understanding and
good neighborhood betw cen China and
Japan, and without giving ground for
the least Inference that the discus
sion will be based on the treaty ar
rangements which have been in dis
pute between these two countries or
others.

question of Kiaochow-Tsinan (Tsing-

That notion has found opposition.
was it confidential observations by
the league spokesmen to the effect
that their countries, and many other
league members, are concerned with
conditions all around the world, so
that Great Britain. for example, could
not be confined to any of these pro-
posed groups? 1t is known that the
league men stand strongly against
any regional understandings" or al
liances. for they regard them AS
trouble breeders. Whatever form of
world court eventuates. it will COM
prehend all the nations of the earth.
Central Idea First.
1t would be improper to quote any
of the league authorities now IN
Washington. but the reader will not
be far wrong who surmises that these
gentlemen are freely and emphati- =
cally declaring. upon every appropri :
ate occasion. that the one essential
factor in the league of nations is its
central idea-itS genius, its spirit, its
purpose-and not any particular form
of words. While the league leaders
are undoubtedly getting a new un-
derstanding of the American view
point, which was SO incomprehenSible
to them in Europe, they are at the
same time making plain to all with
WuOHl iHtS may III l6lh llldt
there is no change of covenant or by
laws that the league will not make,
and no guarantees that it will not
give, in order to secure the co-opera-
tion of an America which they now
see as the most efficient solver of
troublesome world questions. as well
as the most reSourceful in material,
economic and moral leadership. Amer
ica may have a reserved seat in the
league, or off the stage. or private
box to herself, whenever she de-
sires it.
As the list of guests is usually the
most significant fact in the report of
a social occasion, SO it is true that
the overseas relationships of certain
eminent delegates to the Washington
conference means more than any
work they may do in the sessions.

as Successful from this point of view
alone. So far as the French navy was
p,-i.a

nations needed navies of a certain
size, France also had the need for
navy in view of her scattered pos
sessions.
NJ. BRAND expressed the belief that
the Washington conference would not
take up the rspars tions questions,
declaring that its agenda already was
filed.
The French ministerial council is
expected to discuss reparations, the
German moratorium and the Angora
treaty at tomorrow's session. In Of
