China based on territorial and admins
trative integrity. economic opportunity /;

ton OF special rights was agreed up
on today by all the nations represented
in the arms conference.

out Of the conferencc> the declaration
touches in general terms most OF the
principles for which China asked in her
bill Of rights but tdoes not provide in
detail for the settlement of the specific
problems with which she is confronted.
Elihu Root, of the American delegd-
tion proposed the declaratory resolution
and two hours OF debate preceded its
adoption. During the discussion. both
Japan and China. as the most directly
! intereS ed nations asked many ques-
tions as to possible application Of the
suggested principles to specific prob
lens, while all the other nations took
less active part in the debate.
Perfect satisfaction with the reso-
luton was expressed tonight by Admi-
raj Baron Kato. head of the japanese
delegation. although he declined to sug-
gest what changes the agreement nigh;
lead to in the Far East. The Chinese
also declared themselves Eratified at the
development, and the delegates Of the
other nations generally voiced the view
that the agreement was a good start
toward complete agreement on ths
most important Of the Far Eastern prob
