TT WAS foreseen hat the Chinese
L problem would be the most trou-
blesome for the conference, for obvious
reasons. At this writing 1t seems to
have come to a question whether the
Angio-Japanese treaty Will be abro-
gated, and II so. whether some sort
of n tripartite agreement Will be sub
stituted for II. Unless the former is
done, probably the discussions will be
fruitless; and unless the latter is
done, 1t Is likely Great Britain will
not consent 10 the former. On Mon
day the eight powers sitting I'm the
committee OF the Far East adopted
a program submitted by Elihu Root
by which these points were made
sure:
There will be no Intervention by
foreign powers in the present pollt-
lcal struggle In China.
The territorial and administrative
integrity Of the Asiatic republic is as
sured.
japan and all the other nations
agreed TO refrain from a greedy scram-
bile for commercial rights and prlvi-
leges there.
The -open door" finds a new definI-
ton.
Baron kato won a decided victory
for Japan when he persuaded the
committee virtually to. recognize hat

OF China. is so thoroughly in posses

quo should be maintained there. There
is divergence Of Views among the
British. French and Chinese ms to
how the Root principles are to be
applied to specific matters. At the
close Of the week the Chinese pro-
posnls for lifting foreign restrictions
on China's customs revenue were be

apparent. the Idea Of restoring to
