CHINESE OPPOSE PACTS

Washington. Great Britain has
come to the conference ON llmi-
tation of armament ard Far East
ern questions for the purpose Of do
ing everything possible to enable Chi
M to assume her proper place in the
commercial world so British author
tiles declared.
With this aim In view, Great Brit
ain IS satisfied this may best be at
tanned through the open door and by
leaving China free to carry out her
own destiny
China Is opposed to the renewal Of
the Anglo-Japanese alliance and also
desires the notification of the Ian
sing-Ishii agreement, 1t was stated
authoritatively Mt the headquarters
Of the Chinese delegation. These
questions will be among these to be-
treated under the third OF The ten
Chinese points, 1t was said
The Chinese, 1t was declared OBJ
jecf more to the Japanese Interpreters
ton Of the Lansing-Ishii agreements
than they do 70 The American concep-
ton of 1t. The American view OF the
agreement the Chinese hold, Is not so
! far reaching as affecting China's In
| terests -
While China Will not eoncede any
of her ten points at the conference in
exchange for assurances Of getting
those she considers more essential,
she recognizes that the realization OF
some necessarily must be postponed
until they can be worked out gradu-
ally with the powers. One Of these,
It was said, Is that dealing with extra
territoriality. China recognizes the
problem Of working out Chinese
governmental judicial system which
will be acceptable MS a substitute for
the consular jurisdiction enjoyed by
the powers In China over their ma
tionasl will take some time.
The conference has been called by
the chairman, Secretary Of State
Hughes TO meet Monday for its third
plenary session
An official announcement of the call
contained no mention Of the purpose
Of the meeting but 1t was generally
understood the session would be de-
voted almost entirely to a presenta-
ton of the French viewpoint on land
ornaments by Premier BRAND.
The prospect was that neither the
committees dealing with naval arm
ament or the Far Eastern problem
would be ready to report.
With the conference in adjournment
the various national groups further
developed in consultations among
themselves the policies they will fol-
low with respect to the Far Eastern
questions and limitation Of armament.
The British followed the lead Of
the French in letting 1t be known as
cardinal principle Of their attitude
toward the Far Eastern situation they
stood ready to perpetuate the open
door In China, give up extra terri
torial rights there as soon as China's
. development will warrant, and In
general aid the Chinese people to as
sumo a place of economic influence
In the world. 1t was fully expected
that Italy, whose interest Is more re-
mote, would take much the same po-
sition.
The Japanese having already declar-
ed Japans willingness to accept the
Chinese declaration of principles "as
basis of discussion" were at work
framing more detailed statement of
their position after communication
with Toxic. There we're indications
the extra-te territorial phase of the sit
uation would occupy prominent
place in such a statement, with Japan
taking the position the powers can
not give up extra-territorial rights I'M
til the Chinese court system has been
substantially expanded and recon-
structed.
For the United States no one would
speak authoritatively, officials only
referring inquirers to the record Of
