Washington, July 19.-Further con-
crete development in plans of Presi-
dent Harding for International disarm-
ament conferences, probably to begin
in Washington this fall, awaited re-
Spouse from Japan to additional com
municatiOns understood to present
more fully views of the administration
as to desirability of reviewing at the
same time Far Eastern problems.
There seemed little doubt among Off
Gals here, however that the full pro-
gram would be carried out.
Tokyo dispatches have clearly in
dicated the division Of opinion in Japan
as to the wise course of that govern
ment in relation to the proposed Far
Eastern discussions and there was no
evidence of any desire to press for an
early reply on the Far East confer
ence. 1t was clear that officials ex-
pected the interchange of views now
in progress to result in full acceptance
by Japan.
The American government is under
stood to have made plain that the spe-
cific matters to be treated must of ne.
Cessity be prearranged.
Japs See China as Menace.
Tokyo, July 19.-Japan seems an EN-
pire divided on the great issues created
by the summons of President Harding
to a conference on disarmament and
Far Eastern problems.
On one side, largely in the ranks OF
the bureaucrats, there is fear that the
proposed conference will be dominated
by the Anglo-Saxons and may result
in strangling Japan's political and eco
nomic development in Asia.
On the other side, a powerful liberal
group demands Japan enter the DELHI
erations fearlessly, submitting hel
wants resolutely, combating for then
with confidence, and not opposing just
claims. Haggling and pickering, they
insist, will ruin the cause of Japan.
Both camps agree Japan is facing q
crisis requiring tact and large vision
Many members of the privy council
according to the Well-informed news
paper Chugai Shogyo Shimpo, contend
that the proposal to discuss problems
and policies of the Far East indicates
cooperation between the United States
and Great Britain in an attempt to set
tie international questions favorably
for them, an indication of which wa!
to be seen in the attitude of the Eng
lish toward the Anglo-Japanase al
llanCe.
Secret Purpose on China Seen.
The invitation to China to join IL
the conference, it is further urged, /!
additional evidence in support of the
theory of a secret purpose on the par
of the AnglO-Saxon nations in calling
the conference.
Japan should make participation
conditional on the settlement of al
questions between japan and the Uni
ted States, including opening the eco
monte door of all territories in tn,
Pacific TO Orientals.'

It has been suggested that Premle
'rakash Hara should go to the Wash
ington conference, but It Is believed
that his lack Of knowledge of the Eng
lish language would dsdualfy him.
