velopment apparently would be
welcomed by all powers.
In it's consideration of China, 1t
was explained, the conference is
considering the situation as divided
roughly into three sections. First
there has been a grouping of all
the sovereign rights that China still
retains. with general agreement
that all must be preserved. In the
second group have been placed all
the rights in dispute as a result of
the treaties and other agreements,
with the understanding these will
be restored TO CHINA insofar as
possible. The third group COM
prises rights which China declares
have been seized from her without
any pretext whatever and which it
is the desire of the conference to
give back unless valid reasons can
be produced to the contrary.

DELEGATES ARE
GRASP INC ROOT
PLAN ON CHINA
Full Significance of the
-Four Points" Is Coming
to Be Better Understood
at Washington Farley.
(By The Associated pressJ

Washington, Nov. 81 (by the AS
ISOLATED Press) The full signifi-
canoe of the American -four
points," proposed by Elihu Root
and adopted by the arms con-
ference to guide it's discussions on
China, is coming to be better un-
derstood as the Far Eastern nego-
tiations proceed on specific sub
jects.
At first regarded as largely re-
iteration of general principles
which had long been sanctioned on
paper by all the powers. the -four
points" have in fact become the
foundation on which China's
friends hope to erect q system Of
reforms that will in many respects
reverse past and present practices.
The American delegation has
taken the leadership by making
known that it regards the Root res
olution as vastly more than a few
finely turned diplomatic phrases.
The American position Is that by
accepting the -four points" the ma
lions have bound themselves to ap-
ply in a concrete way the long-pro-
fessed principles of fair dealing to-
ward China. and TO proceed with
out subterfuge to give China as
great a degree of independence as
conditions warrant.
Dominating Element.
Powerful support from outside
the American delegation has
strengthened that position and in
the discussions of tariff autonomy,
extra territoriality and postal rights
the trend of the negotiations never
has been permitted to stray far
from the Root platform. In every
case proposed solutions have been
scrutinized in the light of appro-
pirate sections of the -four points"
with the result that the four Amer
lean principles have become the
dominating element of the discus
sions.
How this method will affect such
problems as Shantung. Manchuria
and the "twenty-one demands" If
they come before the conference Is
to be demonstrated
With the questions OF extra ter
ritoriality and postal rights to be
disposed of tomorrow, through spe-
cific declarations now In prepara-
ton, there was an expectation In
some quarters that the subject of
leases. including those held by
Japan in Shantung and Manchuria,
might be brought up for discussion
soon.
Shantung Agreement.
Delegates are hearing many ru-
mors of an attempt to secure an
agreement on Shantung, at least,
outside the conference. Such a de-

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Wage cuts re-
Gently agreed to by representatives

dustry paves the way for ten
hour day and further wage cuts,
speakers at meetings of protest
held under the auspices of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen's Union of North
America, asserted today.
<, Three meetings were held but
only a few hundred workers were
present. They expressed their dis
approval of the wage cut agreed to
at conferences between representa-
tives of the workers and employers.
"A Dennis Lane, secretary of the ma
tonal union organization, asserted
that the industrial plan exists only
ON paper, that it does not represent
the sentiment of the workers and
that it merely paves the way for
further wage cuts.
The workers were urged to take
no action unless ordered to do so
following a meeting of the executive
committee of the meat workers
union here Wednesday.
n Action followed an address by
Mr.. Davis, who said that he de-
scribed conditions as they existed

CHARLES ". MORSE
LANDS IN FRANCE
AMERICAN SHIP BUILDER SAYS
HE Is WILLING TO RETURN
TO AMERICA.
POLICE ACTED UPON REQUEST
French Authorities Claim They Will
Detain American Financier Until
Embassy Receives Extradition.

Havre. French police officials, fol-
lowing a conference with American
Consul General Ingraham, allowed
Charles w. Morse to land here upon
his arrival from New York on the
steamer Paris when the American
shipbuilder agreed to return on the
same ship next Monday, provided ne
was not arrested.
Before the ship locked, Mr.. Morse,
who had heard his presence IN Amer
lea was desired by Federal authorl-
ties investigating his shipbuilding con-
tracts during the war, had expressed
his willingness to return voluntarily,
and this request was complied with
when he had treasured the French
officials that he would not oppose re-
turning Immediately to America II he
were not placed under arrest.
Morse took up quarters in the Con-
tinental Hotel here escorted by French
Inspector Aigouy, and he will remain
: there until the Paris is ready to sail.
@"I am willing to return to America
by the first boat and | have so wired
the United States District attorney,
he told the correspondent on board
the Paris.
81 am over here because of Ill
health" he added, but | am willing
TO return even at the expense of jeo'
pardzing my life"
Police Commissioner Fabini, who
was enjoying luncheon in the dining
rooms of the Paris as guest OF MI
Morse, told the correspondent that he
would take Mr.. Morse ashore and de
liver him to the American counsel
general.
The Havre police were instructed
by the secret service of the French
minister OF interior to arrest Charles
W. Morse, American shipbuilder and
fnancier as soon as he landed from
the liner Paris. The instructions were
sent by telephone
The French police acted upon the
request of the American embassy,
which received belated instructions
to obtain the arrest and detention OF
Morse. The heads of the secret ser,
vice here are not certain whether
the Havre police received instructions
in time to apprehend Mr. Morse, but
they are relying upon the American
newspaper men in Havre to shadow
him until the police arrive. The
French authorities say they will hold
the American fnancier until the EN-
bassy receives papers formally de,
handing his extradition.
1t was impossible for an American
warship to intercept the Paris, as
there are no American vessels in
French or British ports, all on this side
of the Atlantic being in the Mediter.
