In China a somewhat similar task Of
reconstruction will have to be under
taken. 1t may not be so prolonged n
task as in India. There may be In
China more Of foundation on which
TO build. Something, however, must
he done to end or mitigate the present
unrest and dsunion. Unless China Is
saieguarded in some way from her
own failings in politics she will grant
new concessions worse than the old
ones. Such concessions will in due
course come to be regarded with dis
favor by the Chinese, and there may
be developed exactly the same danger
Gus situation in reference to foreign
capital which we have in Mexico and
Russia
TO forcstall these possibilities the
conference must evolve some interna-
tlonal authority to watch over the de-
velopment of China. If Japan proposed
such an international authority there
is little doubt tina. Britain would
agree. 1t is, however, necessary to

with the others somewhat jcalously
acquieseing. In the case of China the
origlnation of the international au-
thority would come from the New
World. not the Old World. And tho
echoes of European rivalrics would be
hushed by distance. A condominium in
China might thus start its career with
a better hope of dissensions being
avoided.

Henry P. Booths Widow
Sues for an Accounting
Supreme Court Asked to Ex-
anime Transactions Conduct
ed by DIR. George III. Dowsey

Mrs. Angie NJ. Booth, widow of Henry
F. Booth, steamship operator, who left
several million dollars, began suit in
the Supreme Court yesterday against
DR.. George H. Dowsey. for many years
her physician, for an accounting of her
property.
Mrs. Booth sets forth her husband
left property in the United States,
Mexico and~Cuba. and that being in
experienced in business matters she
appointed DR.. Dowsey to manage her
property, together with Hubert E.
Rogers. She now asks an accounting
as to $272,927 covering transactions $
from 1911 to 1920.
Mrs. Booth says she paid DR.. Dowsev
per cent of the gross income collected
by him and that his annual income
from this source amounted to $50 900.
His employment as agent for the
plaintiff ceased in 1920.
Mrs. Booth mentions an $50. 900
check which she alleges was drawn on
the New York Trust Company on Jan
uary %, 1919, to the order of George r
Dowsey and charged as a payment on
account for $500 shares of the Berea
O'Kelley Company of the CITY of
Mexico. 1t is alleged by Mrs. Booth
that this check was deposited with thu
New York Trust Company to Dr.
Dowsey's credit.

More Governors IndOrse
Hugl.es's Naval Program,
" Portable and Will Have Popu-
Tar APprouai, Say Governors
OF Utah aud Ne,c Hampshire

Support for the Hughes program FOR
the reduction of armaments was given
last night In telegrams to The Tribune
from Governor Albert @. Brown Of Now
Hampshire and Governor Charles r.
Mabey OF Utah.
- Governor Browns message said:
Feeling deep interest in the sue
cess of the Conference for the Limita-
tion of Armament, rejoice at this
bold and radical yet wise and fair
declaration by our executive depart
ment. The plan impresses me Us work
able in principle, effective in economy
and reasonably just to all concerned.
/ sincerely hope that it may be adopt
ed, at least in it's essential idea, and
that it may prove the first great step
toward the Inauguration of an era in
which war will no longer be allowed to
destroy the fruits of peace or defeat
the efforts of Christianity for the i'm
provement Of society,""
Governor Mabey's telegram was as
follows:
"In my estimation, Secretary Hughes s
armament proposals are practical. They
are fundamental to the successful re-
duction and ultimate curtailment of
competing armaments. / feel confident
they will be supported by American
popular approval, and I hope their cf-
feet will contribute to workable per-
manent peace program"

France Ready
10 Help China
Realize Hopes
Continued from page one)

VINO are trying to recreate the form
glories of the great empire. The
french delegates are anxious that the
conference shall examine in favor
able spirit each point to be discussed.
France is quite favorable to the
policy OF the open door She believes,
moreover, that the conference should
keep. before it in dealing with China
the ideal of an autonomous China with
territorial integrity guaranteed and
capable Of putting her immense re-
sources at the disposal Of the world.
M. Sarraut made it plain that the
French delegation had two viewpoints
to consider with respect to Chinese
matters. There is the point of view
of 1ndo-China toward China, and then
there is the point of view of France
toward the entire Far Eastern uues-
tion. In their decisions the French
delegation will always keep before
them the necessity of avoiding new
conflicts, for such interests in the Far
East embrace 20,000000 other subjects
besides those Of Indo-China. Many of
these are the islanders of the South
Seas, which inevitably would be az
fected by any war on the Pacific.
"Will the conference come to a prac-
tica conclusion?" NJ. Sarraut was
asked.
81 fervently hope So" he replied.
when one is sick it is best to call a
doctor, lest the contagion spread and
every one become infected. This con-
ference is matter of calling in the
doctor.
Upon general principles the confer
ence will reach an agreement. Other
conferences can deal with details.
Before this century all nations were
struggling to get markets for selfish
ends. Now we deal with these peoples
as human problem. We come as civ
ilisers, as educators. Great human
progress is to be made in China. One
day these teeming millions may rise
and our Western peoples pay severely
for not having dealt with them con-
siderately."
1t was said by some of the French
advisers to-day that France realized
Japan'a need for expansion and raw
materials, but found in these needs
nothing that was necessarily in con-
fict with the desires of China.
Premier Brands speech before the
plenary session Of the conference is
expected to be a dramatic utterance.
Some Of it will be addressed, it is said,
directly to Arthur Balfour. The case
of France will be laid before the CON
ference, not necessarily for action, lust
as completely as was China's yesterday.

LONDON, Nov. 17--Despite con-
tlnued warning Of the American aver
sion TO any form Of alliance, British
opinion hopes that out of the Wash
lngton conference there will come some
form of treaty, or at least an under
standing, between the two countries. :
Inc conservative "Pall Mall Ca
zette" and "The Times" have editorials
along this line to-day.
The former, in discussing the amount
of submarine tonnage to be allowed
under the naval reduction proposal,
declares that this proposition leads di-
rectiy to one of the fundamental con-
slderatlons of any disarmament policy.
wnlch America has not yet squarely
faced.
1T is grave responsibility for any
nation to reduce it's defenses if it has
no guarantees beyond it's own strength -
says the paper. "True security in the
disarmament program consists in mu-
tuai guarantees. enabling the pacifcally
d1sposed nations to rest quietly in their
neds. The United States, SO far, de-
cllnes to accept any share Of such re-
sponslbiilties, but American states
men Will discover in the long run that
it they decline international RESPONSE
nii!ty they cannot exert international
influence"
The Times" this morning concludes
a long editorial as follows:
Inc conference is revealing to the
people'Of the United States and Britain
now deep and intimately the agree
ments on the larger principles are
dominating both. If it helps to remove
some of the obstacles which so long
nave stood between them it will have
done greater work for civilization
than any conference known in history"
botn these papers, particularly "The
ran MAIL Gazette" refer to the coming
situation when the Anglo-Japanese al
nance VIII be considered in the confer
ence. or all issues arising out Of the
Pacific problem this one is particula rlv
interesting the British public, and
Washington cables REPORTING that
while the British delegation will not
insist on a continuance of the alliance
1t would like to include the United
States or all interested powers in a
Pacific pact accurately represent pub
lie opinion here.
Comment on naval reductions is now
confined chiefly to detailed analyses by
technical writer's, who generally admit
the fairness of the Hughes plan. but
who insist strongly on a large number
OF light cruisers and the maintenance
or naval construction yards through
the gradual replacement plan for capi-
tai ships.
The British press as a whole is de-
voting less space to the conference.
JUST at the moment there is an unusual
amount Of news of local interest hsrs
and all the afternoon papers relegate -
the conference news to the inside
pages. while editorial comment on
American affairs is devoted chiefly n
the rise Of sterling exchange in New
York. ~"
