PARIS, Oct 9.-Indications are moi
lacking here that Great Britain anC
France will send their delegations te
she Washington Conference on the Linn
itation Of Armament somewhat in &C.
cord on certain phases Of the problems
that will come before the gathering
especially those at issue between Japan
and the United States
Although it would be incorrect tc
say that representatives of England
and France have been exchanging views
officially with the intention of formu-
lating 3 united policy, it can be said
that diplomatic indications' are
strong that both nations are ready to
bring heavy pressure to bear against
Japan's militaristic ideas in any form
and also to uphold diplomatically
Americas S hand in the matter o. China
Siberia fer Japan's Overflow
The Tribune's CORES pondent learns
shat there is d common Anglo-French
tendency TO recognize the fact that
Japan is in imminent need of expan-
sion, but there is similar tendency
to agree with the United States tina;
This expansion must not be carried out
al the expense Of the Chinese. On the
other hand, there will be TO objection
TO Japanese expansion ut the expense
i Russia, and it will be pointed out
automatically to Japan that there is
title to be gained by turning covet.
Jus eyes on Manchuria as long as the
southern hook of Siberia, due east OF
Nanchuria, offers equal climatic ad
yantages.
The effect OF the French and British
pressure on Japan TO abandon the fos.
.erins of the military spirit which
breeds wars, will, it is believed, be
most important. AS far as France
alone IS concerned, it is becoming
clearer here as the time before the
9pening Of the conference shortens that
me French delegates will enter that
meeting prepared TO give moral sup
oort TO PRESIDENT Harding up to a GER
