raised doubtful questions which might
be answered only after mature consid-
GRAFTON. Chief among the latter they
regarded the proposal that the Powers
conclude no treaties affecting China
without consulting her, the japanese
considering that this might directly af
feet the Anglo japanese alliance.
II was declared to be the British
view, however, that the alliance was
not directly involved in the Chinese
proposal. although IL may later be
drawn into the discussions. As directly
affecting their individual national in
ter Sts. the japanese also appear to
attach great Importance to the proposal
that all existing commitments relating
to China should be examined with a
view to determining their scope and va
lidity."
The Chinese proposal was favorably
commented upon by both the French and
Italian delegations as forming n suit
able basis for discussion Of the whole
Far Eastern question, although lacking
defnitcness except as 10 principle.
Would Avert hntagonism
As many public sessions as possible
ore desired b" the japanese in the dis
cussion Of Pacific and Far Eastern
questions. members of the japanese del
cgation declared yesterday. They added
tho Japanese would welcome open dis
cusSions. because they wanted the world
to examine japanese policies in the
Oriort.
1t was intlmatrd that japan would
like to adhere to her attitude voiced In
TOXIC a few months ago, that questions
affecting particular states be left. so far
NJ possible. TO direct settlement between
these states. and that no efforts be made
to discuss the past in connection with
the general examination OF the situation
in the Orient.
japan stood ready. il was insisted by
her spokcsmcn. to admit her faults, but
Il the Conference were to plunge into
history. AS to Japan or other Powers,
she Ecrls II would prove endless ana
probably stir up i'll feeling.
japanese say they are willing to work
for a real open door in China which
would inrndr nll parts Of that country,
even Tibet and Mongolia, as well as
Monchuria. in which Japan considers
She hnS special interests. 1t appears
desirable to the Japanese TO fix some
Dlan which would avoid conflict Of IN.
tcrests. especially with the United
states. At the same time insuring the
territorial integrity and internal devel-
opment Of China.
That NAV mean, in the opinion OF
responsible JGpancsc, written under

tween the United States, Great Britain
and Janan concerning the Far East as
a substitute for the Anglo japanese
alliance.

j. S. PLANS TO KEEP
NAVY YARD PLANTS
No Suggestion Made Of
Scrapping Building Facilities.
Needed for Repair Work
BRITISH PROPOSAL PUZZLE

washington. Nov. II. The British
suggestion that each of the naval Pow
ers retain ut least one naval building
yard capable of turning out one ship
year does not appear to be understood
by American naval officers particularly
familiar with construction problems.
There was no suggestion in the
American limitation proposals that any
yards be scrapped, and SO far rs navy
yard facilities in this country are ron
cerned, oil will hc needed in the main
tenance and repair of the retained flc,t.
At present the United States has
several navy yards equipped to build
capital ships. 1t has not bccn con
templatcd that it would be necessary
under the reduction program to scrap
the equipment of these shops mud build
Ing docks. Some of the machinery
would not be needed. of course. for rr-
rair work and would lie idle. but the
bulk of the Government plants In each
case would be constantly in use in
keeping up the eighteen hatticshps to
be retained by the United states.
Sound Repair Program
These ships, the newest in the navy,
are in many cases now approaching the
point where regular overhaul pro.
grains are necessary to keep them in
nrst-c'ass shape. and with tho SCRAP.

If the British suggestion. n wholly

has to do with providing means for
insuring the advancement of nava, en-
gineering knowledge during the proposed
ten year holiday, there is no doubt that
1t will receive much approval among
American naval officers. That aspect Of
the holiday proposal already has Nv
pealed TO technical experts Of the United
States. They have assumed that this
would be covered in tho final form Of
the holiday agreement.
One thinR that many officers hope will
be possible under the limitation program
is that the navy can be kept in better
shape Mt all times than was uoSsihn
with the larger fleets and extensive work
on new programs.
This has 10 do. Il is said more with
propagation Of plans for vessels OF all
types than with the actual condition Of
the snlrs Ghoat. Those are always in
the best state of readiness It would be
possible to keep them; but with tech
nical personnel released by the reduce
aion OF the navy from other tasks, II Is
hoped that plans for all sorts of auxil-
iaries which would be needed in war

vessels not be- as was the case in 1917

Miller said to the jury. That was
not in good faith. and the fact that
they were seen together Is not in good
faith. Talking on the part of Miss
Forest about this case was unwise and
probably thoughtlCss; il certainly was
unwisc for her to venture her own
opinion on the case on trial. The
Court wishes to say in behalf of
Mr.. Meyers that he quickly diverted
which was following out the instruc-
tons given him by the Court.
Il am not convinced that any dam
age was done. and am far from con-
NinCcd that any attempt was made to
influence the jury. The District At
t0rney'S office deserves commendation
for the prompt manner in which It
acted. II I were satisfied that an at
tempt had been made to tamper with

withdrawal of juror. The Court also
has 4 word of commentator for Miss
