Consideration Of Far Eastern
Problems Resumed at
Today's Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.--Opinlons
have been exchanged among the arms
delegates with such unprecedented
directness that with the conference only
ten days old some of the the experienc.
ed dfplomatsts here believe they can
see almost with precision what it
will and will not be possible to accom-.
plsh.
Following the example of the dele.
CATION in laying down a sweeping nav
al reduction proposal at the opening
session. the representatives of other
powers have put aside almost without
exception the diplomatic indirection
that usually befogs such negotiations
and have reversed the dictum of Tally.
rand that language is given to dplo.
mats Ito conceal their thoughts"
With the respective heads Of the
American, British and Japanese dele.
cations working in direct personal con.
ference almost daily on the naval re-
ducton plan there are indications that
an agreement on all but details is near
at hand. In the same way, the readi.
ness of all the nations To commit
themselves to general principles re
lating 10 the far east, and the out
spoken objection of Japan To discuss
ing details Of that situation seem tc
have quickened a conviction that adop
tion OF n set of principles like the -four
agreed upon yesterday. will be the
outcome of the far eastern end Of the
negotiations.
In addition the whole question OF
land armament appears TO have beeI
pretty well settled by the frank pre-
sentation of the case of France, deliv
cred in yesterdays plenary session By
Premier BRAND.
The French statesman made it a
once apparent that definite readjust
ments of land forces viii be impossibl,
in the view of France because of ex
isting conditions. which she believe;
threaten her and the whole world.
There remains the important ques
tion of Notifications on which ther,
has been no expression. but which
may come to the fore when the de
lincaticn of principles relating to thu
far east have gone as far as seems
possible.
Consideration Of the far eastern
problems was renewed today by th'
delegates OF the nine nations, sittinl
again as a committee of the whole
with the hope that further genera
principles could be Incorporated II
the agreement reached yesterday. II
the main the discussions follow IN,
lines of the ten points suggeste,
by China. whose delegates are con
fident that in the end most of thes
points will have been translated int
actual agreements on policy.
Understanding" Hintcd At
All the present indications point {,
an understanding" rather than

the final far eastern agreement. Dip
