EXPECT JAPAN TO AGREE

U. S. Confident Toxic VIII Modify
Stand on Far East

Washington, July 22.-fBy A. P.l
Renewed confidence that Japan Will
consent to a broad discussion of Far
Eastern problems as part of the Dis
armament Conference was evident in
official circles here today after another
Informal exchange Of views between the
JapaneBe and American Governments.
The japanese Ambassador, Baron
Shidehara. called on Secretary Hughes
at the state Department yesterda! and
they are understood to have discussed
Mt length the situation resulting from
Japan's reluctance to have the Far
Eastern questions subjected to debate in
the disarmament negotiations. 1t was
| indicated afterward that the mutual ex-
change was regarded as helpful by Doth
sides and that the conversations soon
might reach a stage making possible
more formal diplomatic correspondence
on the subject.
There was every evidence that the
American Government remained un-
shaken in it's belief that to eliminate
/ definitely any subject from the scope OF
the conference beforehand might prove
a serious barrier to the disarmament
discussion itself. On the other hand,
II was indicated American officials had
no desire to formulate lit~ OF the ques.-
tions TINT it thinks should be discussed,
and would be quite content II the Iokio
I Government simply agreed to come into
tbe conference with an open mind az to

BRAND STANDS PAT
ON S|LES|AN POLICY
Will Reiterate to Millerand To-
day Necessity Of Sending
More Troops
AWAITING BRITAlN's REPLY
By the Associated Press

Paris, July 22.--Thc Anglo French
controversy which has arisen over the
demand by France that allied re-en-
forccments be sent to Upper Silesia Is
still regarded by the French press in
the light of crisis.
While the British reply to Premier
Brands proposal that the Supreme
Council meet July 2S to discuss the
matter. has not been received, press
dispatches from London to the effect
that Prime Minister Lloyd George re-
fuses to alter his position against send
ing re- endorsements were prominently
displayed in the Paris newspapers this
morning.
It is understood that Premier BRAND,
after meeting of his ministers today:
will reiterate to President Millernnd
his position, and insist upon the neces-
sity. of sending additional troops.
Berlin's reply to the French protest
against German activities In the Sile-
sian area is expected in Paris today. but
the Petit Parisien believes it will have
little effect on the situation. This news
paper also expresses surprise that the
British Government places an entirely
different Interpretation upon the com
munication from the Allied High Com
mission at Oppeln and urges pubilcation
Of the text as proof that the French
reading is correct. This communica-
ton, in which the British High Com
missioner concurs, is reported to stress
the need of more troops.
Pertinax, political writer of the
Echo de Paris. asserts that behind thc
divergent views OF London and Paris
appear two distinctly different policies
regarding Germany. .,
''England," he says, "placing faith
in the given word Of Germany and III
the series Of friendly accords, expect,
the Treaty of Versailles to be executed
normally and looks for the pacific de-
yelopment of her adversary of yester-
day. France, however, does not expect
the fulfillment of the treaty except by
force"

U. S. TELLS ARGENTINA
THAT PANAMA MUST YIELD
Explains American Attitude In Costa
Rlcan Boundary Dispute

BuenOs Aires. July 22.-(By A. PD
-PublicatiOn of documents exchanged
In connection with Panama's futile ap-
peal to Argentina to intervene in an
attempt to settle the Panama Costa
Rican boundary dispute today dis
closed that the United States sent a
memorandum of the controversy to Ar
gentia setting forth why the United
States holds that Panama ought to full
fill her obligations and stating belief
that Costa Rica's position is justified.
In the memorandum. dnted July 1S.
the State Department said II had
knowledge that the Panaman special
minister, Harmodio Arins, was in
Buenos Aires trying to induce Argen
tina to take steps to reopen the award
Of former Chief Justice White. or at
least to postpone measures which "the
nitcd States would consider necessary
to adopt in case Panama does not &C :
Cedc to the just claims of the Costa
Rican Government"
The memorandum sets forth the rea :
sons why the United States considers
the White award binding and explains
that since Costa Rica is unwilling TO
submit to new arbitration, the United
States is unable to propose that Costa
ltica change her attitude.
The memorandum adds that it Is
known that Arias has represented the
United States attitude as that of an
arbitrator seeking the fulfllment OF
an award by force. The memorandum
says it desires to explain to Argentina
that the arbitration of Justice White
cannot be considered as that OF the
United States, since both nations
Panama and Costa Rica) voluntarily
chose him in n personal character, and
the opinion of the United States would
be the same, whoever the arbitrator
may have been.
Furthermore. the memorandum con
tinued, the United States hopes that
Argentina will understand the obliga
tions OF the United States, by reason
of the treaty between Panama and the
United States, to see that Panama full.
| fills her international undertakings.
