TOXIC WELCOMES
NAVAL SETTLEMENT
Comment Favorable Also to
Pacific Entente.

TOXIC, Dec. IA CAssociated Press) -
Acceptance of the naval ratio of the
Conference for the Limitation of Arma-
ment was announced in a bulletin this
morning. ending weeks of speculation
and argument in the press ard confer
ence3 in political circles. The announce
ment caused general satisfaction.
There had been apparent for some
time desire on the part OF members
of the Cabinet to see an end to the
negotiations and the completion of an
agreement along the lines originally pro-
posed at Washington, provided always
that Japan's interests were safeguarded.
The spirit animating the Ministry was
voiced by Viscount Uchida, the Foreign
Minister, who in the course of a report
to the Cabinet Council yesterday pointed
out, according to the official organ of
the Government "the blind persistency
of claiming a seventy ratio not only Is
inimical to the very spirit of limitation
of ar1ament but is detrimental TO the
eventual success of the conference"
While there continues to be some adj
verse criticism in the newspapers over
the quadruple entente, the disposition
of the people generally, after sober con-
temptation Of the treaty. appears to be
in favor of its acceptance as evidence
of the good faith of all the participants
In the treaty.

LITTLE HOPE FOR MAN
DUE TO DIE TONIGHT
Governor to Decide Brazie
Case This Morning.
Special Despatch to The New York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany dec A.

Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, Dec. IA.
Gov. Miller held out little hope to-day
for George Brazie, the sixty-two-year-
old Otsego county man under sentence
TO die in the electric chair at Sing Sing
tomorrow night for the murder of his
common-law wife, Anna Van Patten.
Brazie's appeal for a respite so that an
application for a new trial could be
made was presented to the Governor at
a. hearing to-day by James Byard,
Cooperstown attorney. and 1t was ,op-
posed by District Attorney Adrian Pier
son and his counsel, Judge N. p. Willis.
II will announce my decision to-mor-
row morning." Gov. Miller told Byard.
what you have given me about newly
discovered evidence Is altogether too
vague. i am not granting respites so as
TO give an opportunity for delay in the
hope that newly discovered evidence
might be found. If that were done no
execution ever would be carried out In
the name OF the law"
Byard asked for a hirty day respite
to get affidavits from persons who had
said they had information that would
show Brazie was innocent. He could
give the Governor little definite informa-
tion about these people.

vostolx Governments assert that any
pledge given by Japan will be worth
less until it is accompanied by definite
guarantees to the conference itself
European delegates continue to dis
cuss the advisability of an economic
conference following the conclusion
OF the present conference. Statements
made by them reflect an almost III an
imous desire on the part of their Gov
ernments and important banking in
terests, both at home and in this coun-
try, to have President Harding sug-
gest convening a conference to con-
slider material features of international
affairs. Most of the European dele
gates believe the American President
has already decided on such move
and that he will announce it before ad-
journment of the Washington confer
ence.

a railway from Indo-China to Yunnan.
the capital OF the southern province
of the same name. 1t was the inten-
tion of France to make Yunnan and
Kwangsi her sphere of influence.
In these days France was in alliance
with Russia and was not friendly to
Great Britain. 1t was the avowed in
tention of st. Petersburg and Paris TO
extend their respective spheres of In
Euence towards Central China with
a view eventually to curbing or split
ting in twain the British sphere in the
Yangtse Valley.
The advent Of the International con-
sortium Is step toward the abolition
of spheres OF influence. By pooling
railway concessions held by Powers In
China. the consortium will help to
obliterate the spheres of interests.
That is undoubtedly why Mr.. Balfour
said the other day that the spheres
of influence were "antiquated." I'm
fortunately China has not yet recog-
nzed the consortium for two reasons.
First. her banking group has not yer
been admitted into the consortium.
Secondly, she contends that the con-
sortium deprives her of the freedom
of borrowing money in the open mar
ket, and thus encroaches upon her SOW
ereign rights.
Japan. In her note addressed to
China last September. and in the con
sations' now being held between
the Chinese and her delegation at Wash
ington. has definitely abolished the
sphere of influence in Shantung, waiv-
ing all the preferential rights estab-
lished by Germany. In Manchuria, too.
Japan has turned over to the interna-
tional consortium two of the most inn
- r., ,-.fv fN~
which she has contracted to finance the
Chinese Government She contends that
she has been instrumental in opening
the doors formerly closed by Russia or
Germany. That is why she does not
hesitate to indorse any plan looking
toward the abolition of spheres of in
terests
The Japanese proposal against the
sphere of influence raises this pertinent
and significant question: ''Will China
undertake to abolish internal or
domestic spheres of influence which are
even more pernicious than the spheres
of influence set up by foreign Powers In
her territory?"
The phrase internal spheres Of in
fuence" is coined by the writer for lack
of better expression and calls for ex-
plantations. BY it I mean provinces
carved out by various military COVER
nors. generals and factions as their re-
spective spheres of influence, thus Great
ing the most deplorable state of politi-
cal disorganization and administrative
Decentralization.
The Chinese delegation in pleading for
the abilition of foreign spheres of in
fluence argues that they deter China's
commercial and economic progress. But
the internal spheres constitute greater
obstacle to her progress. politically and
economically. Certainty they are the
most serious hindrance to foreign COM
merce and enterprises In China, 1t will
be comparatively easy to abolish foreign
spheres of influence. for the Powers will
be generous enough to listen to China's
pleadings. But how China hopes to do
away with those harmful internal
spheres is beyond my comprehension.
The New York herald., 1921-12-15

satisfaction over the settlement of the
question, expressing the opinion that
settlement should have been reached
long ago.
Viscount Uehida In an interview with
the newspaper men to-day said with re-
gard to the quadruple Power treaty:
1T is regrettable that a pact (the
nglo-Japanese treaty. with its glorious
history OF twenty years should end.
The British people doubtless share this
sentiment. but 1t is a matter for con-
graduation that the alliance should be
enlarged into q quadruple entente. with
bigger possibilities for contributing to
the case of peace and with in greater
spheres"
