Would Japan be willing to discuss

Baron Takahashi takes the posi- as
Premier of Japan at a time when his
wide experience and equipment are
likely to be called into active service in
the discussion of the Far Eastern qusss

which began its sessions to-day. The
selection at Toxic has hinged largely
upon this equipment for meeting the va

AS Minister of Finance in the Hara
Cabinet Baron Takahashi was q close

Hara and a supporter of his views fa-

Baron Takahashi is one OF Japan's
most distinguished financiers, with wide
foreign acquaintance and relationship.
He was for some time president of the
Yokohama Specie Bank and governor OF

Finance in the years 1913 and 1914 and
took the Finance portfolio again upon

AGENDA PROBABLY UP
AT TUESDAYS SESSION
Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. G., Nov. l2.

The second session of the armament
conference on Tuesday will be open to
the public, as was to-day's session. Pre-
sumably it is for the purpose of giving
the committees on organization and pro-
cedure an opportunity to make their re-
port.
The American delegation is committed
to the idea of having as much pub
licity at the conference as is practical
BILE and is relying largely upon the ac-
ton OF public opinion to bring about
proper solution of the issues involved.
At Tuesdays session It is expected
that the subject of agenda will be dis
cussed This is an important issue, and
upon the decision reached In this con-
nection will depend much OF the work OF
the conference.
Secretary OF state Hughes did not
develop the Far Eastern question In
his opening address. The agenda which
has heen suggested Is topical IN CHAR
acter and does not indicate definitely
whether limitation of armaments or the
Far Eastern question shall ia taken up
first.
The American delegation Is committed
To the idea that the discussion on both
subjects shall proceed simultaneously.
The delegates from other countries
notably Japan, are UNDERSTOOD 10 peheVe
that limitation OF armaments should
come first.
II Is understood the British delegation
will stand with the japanese delegation
on this issue.
II will be n test point and the Ameri-
can delegation will insist upon discus
sion of both subjects simultaneously
because il holds that the Far Eastern
question must be at least In process OF
settlement before Limitation of arrna-
ment can be determined definitely.
In the event that Japan should urge
| final decision on the armament dues-
ton prior to discussion of the Far East
ern question, the American delegation
will ask for a vote on the subject. and
It is expected that with tho exception
of Great Britain the nations repre-
sented will vote with the United States.
