JAPANESE WELCOME FAR EAST
PLAN OF CHINESE

Washington, Nov. 17.~-Japan's re-
action to the principles proposed by
China yesterday for the guidance OF
the Washington Conference during its
con siderution OF the Chinese phase Of
the Pacific and Far Eastern problems
is as distinctly favorable as was
japanese acceptance In principle OF the
American project for limitation OF
naval armament.
China's ten proposals, seeking in the
main the application of the policy of
the open door and equality of oppor-
,unity and respect for the territorial
integrity and political and administra-
tive independence Of the Chinese Re-
public. are generally acceptable TO the
Japanese. The Japanese delegates
are represented as hoping that in the
specific application OF these principles,
China will be as broad and liberal as
the statement submitted by the Chi
nese Minister yesterday.
The Japanese are ready TO proceed
with the consideration of the Chinese
problem--which is only ona OF the
principal sections of the Far Eastern
question--in a spirit of fairness and
accommodation, hoping that the par
ticular interests Of China will be har-
monized with those of Japan. England
America and the rest of the world.
