1t is unquestionable that Americans
of experience and Of economic vision
desire to help Europe, both in the in
terest OF America and from a sense OF
indirect moral obligation. 1t is equally
unquestionable that America will help
in time, unless European Governments
blunder so badly as to convince the
mass OF American opinion that the only
safe course Is to cut entirely adrift
from Europe. But IL is certain that
European Governments must try TO
make a beginning by helping them
selves. and that in so doing they should
not lose sight OF American difficulties.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c., Dec. ii.
The Chinese delegates threw the
second armament conference bomb
shell to-day. They cast 1t in the midst
of the Far Eastern committee Of the
conference.
They presented to the committee a
request that It consider the treaties
and agreements included in the Sino-
Japanese agreement, the outgrowth Of
Japan's "twenty-one demands upon
China made while the allied Powers
were preoccupied with war, giving to
Japan a preeminent position in China.
Further sessions of the Far Eastern
important move is under considera-
ton.
Secretary Hughes and Arthur Bal
four are said to be opposed to con-
slderation of these agreements by the
conference. Mr.. Hughes's opposition
is understood to be based upon the
theory that the Far Eastern question
can be settled without consideration OF
this embarrassing problem, while the
British objection Is the result OF dis
inclination to have other secret agree
ments with and concerning China pre-
cipitated into the conference.
The Japanese and Chinese conferees
are understood to have come to prac-
teal agreement in principle relative to
the ownership of the Shantung railroad.
but the entire settlement is suspended
pending reference by the Japanese dele
gates to the Government at Toxic.
Diplomatic Move Suspected.
The reference to Toxic is belisved to
be a diplomatic move aimed to exert
pressure upon the Chinese to prevent
insistence upon their position that the
Sino-Japanese agreement be made a
subject of conference delibevation.
The Shantung settlement Is based
upon the Chinese Willingness to pay for
the half ownership claimed by the Japa-
nese, although the price and the date
of the transfer of the road TO the Chi
nese has not been determined.
The Chinese have made a definite
offer as to price based upon the valua-
tion fixed by the reparations commits
sion. which amounted TO 100000 gold
marks This valuation applied to the
mines along the line of the railroad.
Action by the Chinese delegation in
showing the twenty-one demands into
the conference deliberations represents
the most serious fighting gesture which
the Chinese have made up to this time.
Back OF 1t is their determination to insist
upon their portion in Manchurla and TO
oppose the Japanese contention that
Japan has special interests in that Sec
tion.
The Japanese are extremely unwilling
that this question should be made a
subject Of conference consideration. If
ii becomes one, the Japanese will insist
that all the secret agreements and trea-
ties entered into with China shall GO

into the hopper and the Powers are
equally unwilling that this should hap
pen.
Chinese to Press Issue.
The Chinese believe they have a pow
erful weapon In this move and will use
1t for every ounce Of Its worth. They
realize the seriousness of their proposal
and It is the first definite move they
have made which appears to be at vari-
ance with the American viewpoint.
There is an angle of local Chinese
politics in the proposal. In China tnere
is universal eXecration of the Sino-
Japanese agreement, which, 1t is de-
clared, was forced from the helpless
Chinese Government. Calling attention
to it suggests also the fact that Japan
might not have been unwilling to take
advantage of the situation of the allied
Powers In pressing her own interests
In the Far East to the disadvantage of
others.
The Chinese have additional shots
in their locker and intend to force con-
sideration of the Interpretation which
the Japanese are alleged to have placed
upon the Lansing-Ishii agreement. In
fact they regard this move as an oppor-
tunity to air innumerable occurrences in
the Orient which they believe viii NOT
encourage popular approval Of the
Japanese position.
All this is preliminary to the fight
for the control Of Manchuria. which
both Japanese and Chinese realize will
be the crucial event in the consideration
of Far Eastern affairs by the conference.
Concerning the Shantung negotia-
tfons. 1t was asserted by Japanese
spokesmen to-day that the Japanese
delegation is now considering the coun-
ter-proposals Of China, involving the
compensating of Japan for the with
drawal of the rights Japan claims In
the railway. the legal title vesting in
Japan as a result of the settlement
made by the Paris Peace Conference.
Atmosphere Is Friendly.
The discussions between the two par
ties are continuing. it was asserted, in
the most friendly atmosphere One or
two points in the Chinese proposal
were said not to have been completely
cleared up when the conferees ad-
1ourned this afternoon until tomorrow
The conferees have advanced 80 far as
to consider. though not to decide upon,
the appointment of special commits
sion to appraise the value of the Shan
tung railway.
1t was declared that the Japanese
conferees had not yet referred the Chi
nese counter proposal so Toxic for con-
sideration by the Japanese Government.

conditions are not favorable, the process
enlightenment will be slow.
l believe that nine out of every ten
letters received at the United States
Treasury or at the White House on the
subject OF European indebtedness urge
the Administration to go ahead and
collect the European debts forthwith.
However little heed the Administration
may pay to such advice, it's significance
cannot be ignored in any sane estimate
of the outlook.
An Agricultural Crisis.
Moreover, the Senate is handling the
loan refunding bill--which left the House
OF Representatives In a form satisfac-
tory to the Adrninistration--in such
a manner as to render it practically a
dead letter. IL not entirely unacceptable.
In these circumstances II is easy to
understand the view. attributed to Pres
ident Harding, that the Washington
conference should be allowed to COM
plete it's labors and an interval be given
for reflection before any proposal for
an international economic conference
with American participation is put for
ward.
The attitude of the West and Middle
west Is NOT merely que 10 lncOmDre-
hension or cussedness. The farming
community which is the backbone OF
the United States. is passing through a
serious crisis. Losses during the past
twelve months have been heavy. Sew
eral banks that finance agrarian oper-
ations are entirely frozen" Some of
them have been obliged to suspend oper-
atons for the time being. Others are
heavily indebted to the Federal Re-
serve Board. When It Is remembered
that American loans to European coun-
tries were not made merely out of
bankers reserves. but consisted largely
of money lent by the people, it will be
understood that no suggestion for the
cancellation Of European Indebtedness
can be made without raising serious
financial problem for the United States
Treasury.
Urges Repayment Contract.
With the best will in the world, the
thing cannot be done offhand, even
should American interests be admitted
to demand It, This, as I have said is
not, or Is not yet. the case. Conse-
quently there should be no talk in
Europe Of the cancellation of European
