Washington, November 19.-The
following communique was issued
this afternoon:
"The committee on Pacific and far
eastern questions held its second
meeting in the Columbus room of
the Pan-American building this
morning at II o'clock. All pleni-
potentiary delegates were present
excepting Baron Shidehara for ia
pan, Ambassador Jusserand for
France and Mr.. Media for Italy"
Admiral Baron Kato, on behalf of
Japan. made the following statement:
"(D It seems to the Japanese dele
cation that existing difficulties In
China lie no less in her domestic sit
uation than in her external rela-
tions. We are anxious to see peace
and unity re-established at the earIi-
est possible moment, but we want to
avoid all action that may be con-
mtrued as an Intervention in the In

cation and the whole conference that
Japan has every, desire to cultivate
the happiest relations with China.
We are solicitous of making what
ever contributions we are capable of
toward China's realization of her just
and legitimate aspirations. We are
entirely uninfluenced by any policy
of territorial aggrandizement in any

In spirit of sincere sympathy, the
questions relating to China. 1t will
give its support to the solutions that
shall appear to be best suited to as
sure the free development of China
and to guarantee an equality in foot
ing of the different nations in their
efforts to promote the progress of
China and of commerce with that
country"
Brands Expression
Mr.. BRAND expressed the warm
sympathy that France feels for China
with which she has a common from
tier about 1,500 kilometres long. The
French delegation Is disposed to con-
slider in the most favorable light the
Chinese claims in their entirety. But
in order to reach a practical result,
it will be necessary to make thor
ough examination of each claim.
Jonkheer Van Karnebeek, repre-
senting The Netherlands, remarked
that in the present phase of the dis
cussion there is not much for him to
say of a general character, and at
the same time of material impor-
lance. He wished. however, to seize
this opportunity to say, as one of
China's Bstghbors, that The Neither
lands delegation will be happy to con-
slider the principles which China has
laid down and the problems them
selves from the standpoint of the
worlds general welfare, and to ex-
anime them in a spirit of sympathy
and friendship toward China.
Hollands Good VIII
Holland, Jonkheer van Karnebeek
said, has old friends along the shores
of the Pacific; China knows that 1T
is one of them. If China avails her
self of the opportunity now afforded
by this conference to assert her
rights to declare her position and to
define her wishes, she may count on
Hollands good will and its willing
ness to aid her in the realization OF
legitimate aspirations and in her en-
deavors towards a consolidation and
sterilization of her domestic affairs
which are connected with the prob
lens affecting the Pacific,
Viscount d'Alte said: That the
Portuguese delegation saw with
pleasure that the delegates of the
other nations represented at the con-
ference had expressed nearly identi-
cal views to the desirability, in the
interests of all, of prosperous and
united China. He gladly associated
himself with his colleagues in the ex-
preston of this desire.
Mf. SEE expressed on behalf of the
Chinese delegation his sincere APP
probation for the united sympathy
and friendship of the delegations here
for China and her proposals. OF
course, many proposals will be con-
sidered in connection with their APP
plications. He would desire to re-
serve to the Chinese delegation the
right of discussing them in detail
then. But he was sure that the
friendly sentiments as Expressed and
the general spirit of accord thereby
presented would be greatly conducive
to the success of this conference.
After a general discussion the
meeting adjourned until Monday, No
