Chinese Treaty
 Demand Opposed
 By U. S. Delegate
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-China's appeal for a wholesale abrogation of all of the treaties and agreements comprised under the. 21 points which Japan propounded in her 1915 de- mands will not receive the support of the American delegation, although the Americans will endeavor to ob- tain through voluntary concession by Japan, a relinquishment of many of the special privileges and conces- sions which have proved so irksome to China, it was said today.
 The American delegates. it Is said, are of the opinion that Japan Is pre- pared to go to great lengths to meet reasonable requests" from China for the amelioration of conditions arising under the application of the points which bear heavily upon her
 Having secured the adhesion Of Japan to two principles laid down by Elihu Root, the American delegates believe that the application of these will go far toward that end. The first of these declarations is that the powers represented at the confer ence shall respect the sovereignty, the independence and the territorial integrity of China" the second Is that they shall provide the fullest and most unembarrassed opportunt- ties to China to develop and main tain for herself an effective and stable government"

 Cosgrove ayers that his information shows Lindenfeld had close connec- tions with Moscow, from where he received funds regularly. By the Polish secret service, it is asserted that the suspect attended at least one conference at Moscow of the third internationale; that he was born in Warsaw, has many relatives there and carrier a Polish passport. For most of the time since March, he has been living in Warsaw, posing as an American.
 No Official Report
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Justice department officials would not dis cuss tonight the arrest in Poland of Wolfe Lindenfeld, in Warsaw, as a suspect in connection with the Wall street explosion. It was indicated, however, that official reports from Poland were expected by the de partment and that further details would then be available.
 Efforts of the justice department to trace the perpetrators of the ex- plosion are understood to have in- cluded the cooperation of the police of number of countries but the department has been guarded in any discussion of clues, in order to avoid disclosing information.

SEVEN STILLS TAKEN IN RAID BY SHERIFF

Seven more stills were added to the sheriffs collection of whiskey making plants in raids made yesterday on Mexican camps southwest of Mesa by Sheriff Montgomery and his deputies. None of the stills were in operation when seized and in five cases only women and children were present in the tent where the still was found. The women, the officers said, denied they had husbands or that they know how the stills got into the tent
 About five gallons of "moonshine" whiskey was found and six barrels of mash were confiscated by the off cers. Three Mexican men were ar rested on charges of operating stills and were turned over to Constable Pickens of Mesa Two of the seven stills found were made of copper and the remaining five were made from milk cans With the six stills taken on Thursday. a total of 1S stills have been seized in the past two days.
 The raid yesterday was made by Sheriff Montgomery, Deputy Sheriffs Ernest Smith, Gilbert Blanco. A. W Dana and Harry Mitten and Con- stable J. H. Woods of Tempe and Constable O. l.. Pickens of Mesa

Propose De Facto
 Agreements With
 American Nations
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. = An agreement between the republics of North, South and Central America by which a policy would be defined for extending recognition to de facto governments of the new world was suggested today by high American officials.
 The suggestion was brought forth in a discussion of recognition by the United States of the newly estab- lished government in Guatemala, question which 1t was said had not been determined by the United States.
 Evidence of such definition, 1t was added by high administration of- ficials, would be of advantage at the present time in connection with rec ognition of the new Liberal party government at Guatemala. Any con- cord of action to guide American re- publics in dealing with de facto governments, it was added emphati- cally, would be welcomed by the United States.
 Whether the United States would take the lead in a movement to bring about such concord was not stated, the impression being given in some quarters, that the United States | would look with friendly interest on any proposals of the other republics

MORNING. DECEMBER IT, 1921

Even as it was concluded. how ever, the national security plea for naval increases seems to have been brought up again, this time by France.
 It is very certain that conference officials generally o not believe situation has arisen due to French proposals which will ultimately block the road to actual naval reductions Whatever discouragemen any of them may feel at the prospect of pro- longed committee wrangles to bring about a satisfactory adjustment of ratios for all five powers, is tenn pered by great hope that an adjust ment can be found and that no such building program for all five as the unofficial disclosure of Frances at titude would indicate will be neces- sary.
 Both the United States and Japan have now on the ways ships of more than 40,000 tons and Great Britain has ordered, but held up work, on four super Hoods of 45.000 tons each. If it should become necessary to re- wise upward, the tonnage of each power to permit France to build on such a scale as a ten ship plan con- templates, the other three powers, 1t was said, hardly would agree to throw away all they have spent on ships of 40 900 tons or more and start build | ing 35,000 tonners instead.

Birkenhead Says English Speaking
 Peoples At Peace
rRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIre1

LONDON, Dec. 16.-Lord Birken- head, the lord chancellor. kept the house of lords waiting a half hour this afternoon to enable him to de- liver brief address to the American luncheon club.
 Lord Birkenhead in his address evaded any discussion of Irish af fairs, dismissing this subject with a passing reference.
 Today marks a stage that can never be forgotten in the history of the English speaking peoples" he said. T know of no quarrel, actual or potential or discernible, by the most acute eye, between the two. I know of one = the aspects of the old Irish quarrel I don't know yet whether we have laid that spectre. but if we are successful in this task we shall have done more to banish the last trench in which misunder- standing might have lurked than our predecessors approached in the past two centuries"

The American and Japanese view points in this regard was presented as one with the British, with all three powers deeply desirous of carrying out the projected naval reductions. It was reiterated officially for Italy that she was anxious to stop naval building immediately and wished only for naval parity with France A summary of these official utter ances appeared to leave France alone of the five powers asking for naval increases at the Washington confer ence. It was pointed out in some quarters that the first setback to the Washington conference called spe- officially for the purpose of reducing and limiting armament had come with Premier Briands assertion of the French view as to land forces and her reason for maintaining and plan- ming to continue to maintain the greatest army in the world. All talk of an agreement here on limitation of land forces stopped with M. Briand' s statement.
 In his reply to MT. Hughes original naval proposals, however, M. Briand was understood by members of the other delegations to have concurred in the four principles underlying the American plan- Apparently the French group has not regarded M. Briand's statement to the conference as committing France to the Ameri- can proposals, even in principle.
 Japan's desire for 70 per cent ratio as necessary for her national security first brought up the sug- gestion that national needs, not ex- isting naval strength. determine na- val relativities. Japan finally agreed, however, that the question Of na- tional security could not be made a practical basis for naval limitation agreement and the first great forward stride oI the conference was taken with the preliminary three power un- derstanding on reductions and ratios.

Three Railroads
 Protest Freight
 Rate Reductions
TRepubIican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Dec. 16. = Re newed arguments against general rate reductions by the interstate commerce commission were made to- day by spokesmen for the railroads in three districts of the United States. Arguments were based the spokesmen explained, on statistical studies of earnings and the effect upon them of rates and traffic fluc- tuations.
 T. c. Powell. vice president of the Erie, was the witness for eastern carriers; ". c. Maxwell, vioe-presi- dent of the Wabash lines, spoke for the Central Freight association, i'm cluding most mid-western territory and George W. Lamb, auditor for the Association of Railway Execu- tives, made the presentation for the southern district.
 The agitation for lower rates worked to decrease traffic, MT. Powell said. while MT. Maxwell as serted that "the outlook would be gloomy indeed for the central roads if the rates are to be decreased"

 Wilson Dam Plant
rRepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16-Fred c. Hitchcock, vice president of the contraction company which is build ing here the Hetch Hetchy project to supply San Francisco with water, left for Washington today in response to a government invitation to be on hand in the capital Dec. 26 to confer on a proposal made by his company for taking over and developing the Muscle Shoals nitrate and power project on the Tennessee river. Other officers will leave shortly.
 Only bare outlines of the proposal have been given out here. Its prin- cipal intent is to bring about the maximum possible development of electrical energy and the sale of this at a profit which would be shared evenly with the government.
 The company asks a lease of the completed project for 50 years and proposes to pay all construction costs, though under certain circumstances financial assistance might be asked of the government. Estimates of those interested placed the govern ment's profits under the arrangeme Ht at half a billion dollars.

and he predicted that by the time the voters have an opportunity to act on the question, they will know that ihis treaty has all of the vices charged to the treaty of Versailles, with none of its virtues"
 MT. Reed declared he could sec nothing but troubles in the new agreement and attacked the admin lstration for what he described as changing face,' saying there was no difference, except grammatical changes between the four powest pact and the Versailles covenant. His speech throughout was interspersed with attacks on Great Britain and Japan, each of whom he declared ha d come to the armament conference with the "avowed purpose of getting themselves out of a hole"
 This treaty ties us up with the only nation that has shown us an ugly pair of teeth in years.' he con- tinued. T wonder what the people of the Pacific coast think of their new protector. I wonder if they feel. that they can go to bed at night and say, Oh well, Japan will watch over us.' An. senators, we refuse to make a treaty to protect ETdnCe rom NeT- many, but we make an alliance with Japan to protect her loot"
 The Missouri senator said that al- though some of the sponsors of the treaty were talking privately of the good fellowship to be brought between the nations by the treaty. he could not arrive at any such conclusion.
 This longing f0r good fellowship is very good as orAtorial extravagan- za," he added, but this silly longing for a foreign stepmother makes me sick.
 As Senator Reed concluded his ad- dress, started, yesterday, Senator Norris, Republican of Nebraska, in- troduced a resolution urging the president to invite representatives oi foreign government to the interna- tional dairy congress in the United States in 1923. MT. Reed was on his feet in an instant and queried:
 Can the senator guarantee that there will be no treaties evolved by that meeting? I am getting so I an afraid of all of them.'

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Without going into a discussion of reported demands by France for an increase in naval strength, a spokesman for the Italian delegation reiterated today that all Italy wanted was to be placed on an equal naval footing with France.
 Tt was our understanding in Italy that this conference was called to re- duce armament not to in- crease it. said the Italian spokesman. Italy wants no increase, feeling the time at hand when all the nations need to spend money for other pur- poses than war. Our position corre-
