Washington, D. C., Nov. 2s (By the
Associated Press The arms confer
ence entered the third week OF its de-
liberations to-day with far eastern
questions continuing to hold the cen
ter of the stage. Formal disposition OF
the questions Of -territoriality
and of postal rights in China through
specific declarations prepared by sub
committees was the pre-arranged busi.
ness Of the conference on convening
this morning for another committee
session. These declarations will express
the agreed attitude of the conference
that the system Of judicial courts and
also the foreign postoffice maintained
within China shall be withdrawn as
speedily as conditions warrant.
The virtual decision of the confer
ence to send commission of interna-
tional jurists to investigate the eff
cheney Of the Chinese courts was to
be embodied in the declaration relat-
ing to that subject.
Spokesman of two other of the par
ticipating powers, Senator Schanzer for
Italy, whose delegation he heads, and
Vice Foreign Minister Hanihara for ia
pan, one of the four members on that
delegation, had joined to-day with
Rene Viyiani, head of the French dele

ing's informal suggestion that the pres
ent conference might be starting

ences to examine world problems.
A voice in opposition to the proposed
association of nations" was raised
simultaneously by Senator Borah, Re-
publican, Idaho, who declared it would
be 'the old league of nations under an.
other name"
Negotiations on the naval side OF
the program were expected TO assume a
more prominent status this week with
the possibility that another plenary
session of the conference could be
called to reach final decision at least
on the most vital element of the Amer!
