Port Arthur should remain in the
occupation of Russia, of the port

If he might be permitted to go
into the history of the question. he
might add that while the measures
and extent of control by the lessee
powers over the leased territories
vary in different cases, the leases
themselves are all limited to a
fixed period Of years. expressly or
impliedly, they are not transfer
able to a third power without the
consent of China. Though the ex-
ercise of administrative rights
over the territories leased is relin-
quished by China to the lessee
power during the period of the
lease, the sovereignty of China
over them is reserved in all cases.
AS is stated in the beginning,
these leaseholds were granted by
China with the sole purpose of
maintaining the balance Of power
in the far east. not so much be-
tween China and the other powers,
but between other powers them
selves concerning China. These
are all creatures of compact,
different from cessions both in fact
and in law
Twenty years had elapsed since
then and conditions had entirely

German menace in particular, an
important disturbing fact to the
peace of the far east had been re-
moved. Russia had equally dis

JAPAN SEEN FACING.
PARTING Of WAYS.
One Path Leads to Isolation,
Other to Linking With
Great Nations.
By the Associated Press.

~ ene AsSOCiAteO EfeSs.
Considerations which occupy the
minds of official Japan, through rep
resentatives at the Washington con-
ference, and which form the bcak-
ground Of practical questions involved
in percentage of ships under an arma
ment limitation agreement were said
last night to be summarized in the
following proposition:
rs Japan to be isolated politically
or is she to be linked up compactly
with other great nations with full
recognition of her desire to be known
actually as one of the five great
powers in spirit as we'll as name?"
Developments in the discussions of
naval ratio. it was said, show that
Japan is looking at this question from
broader standpoint than mere
issue as between 60 or 20 per cent in
tonnage. The Japanese also are ap-
parently prepared to admit that there
are now sound objections on the part
the Anglo-Japanese alliance which for
so many years has connected them
with the western world, but If it is to
go they would like to see as perma-
neflt substitute a definite agreement
between Great Britain, the United
States and Japan on questions of
policy in the far east.
Would Danish Suspicion.
The whole tendency of modern
Japan is described as being a very
earnest desire to cooperate with the
United States and Danish. any atmos-
phere of suspicion which during re-
cent years may have existed between
the two countries.
Japanese recognize the delicacy of
any effort on their part to suggest
that the United States no longer place
Notifications in colonial possessions
in far eastern waters. but the opinion
is expressed that If a tripartite agree
ment, substantial in nature, could be
coupled with an American willingness
not to fortify further in the far east,
the Japanese people would have a

relieve the anxieties Of the Japanese
people.
The view was put forward yester-
day in responsible circles that the ex-
pected visit Of Lloyd George to Wash
ington might have a bearing upon
some effort to build up triple accord
between the three great naval powers
as a substitute for the Anglo jap
anese alliance. The impression was
given that such an understanding

GUT IN RAIL RATES

Proposal by Roads for 10
Per Cent Reduction Ac-
cepted by Commission.

Proposals by the railroads for a de-
crease Of 10 per cent in freight rates
on practically all farm. range and
orchard products in the United States
outside Of New England were accept
ed yesterday by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Orders were is
sued allowing the railroads to disre-
gard all usual restrictions in making
up the new rate schedules as well as
such violations of the long and short
haul provisions of the interstate COM
by percentage reductions The orders
also permit the rates to be put into
effect on one days notice ION as early
a date and in as inexpensive a manner
as possible" for a six-month expert
mental period.
Former Orders Repealed.
Acting with great expedition on the
application of the roads. which was
only completed this week, the COM
mission repealed all Of it's outstand-
ing orders affecting rates which
would Interfere.
At the same time the commission
left standing its order Of October 20,
requiring an approximate 16h per
cent rate decrease on grain, grain
products and hay throughout the en-
tire transmississippi district. which
the railroads were later instructed to
put into effect by December 27. The
railroad executives, in applying to the
commission last week, suggested that
the general 10 per cent decrease on
agricultural products which they con-
templated should apply to the western
grains and hay as well as to the other
commodities and become a substitute
for the 161s per cent cut. No mention
on this point in the railroad procedure
was made by the commission today.
