Arthur J. Balfour, former Premier of
Great Britain and chief of the British

The coming OF Mr.. Balfour. who was
travelling from Montreal to Washington
where he will arrive this morning, was
in strange contrast with that of Marshal
Foch Admiral Beattie and many other

several railroad detectives, a few train

the statesman, but Mr.. Balfour did not

that his chief had not known he wouli !

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. C., Nov. o.
Viscount Takaaxi Kato. leader OF the
Japanese Kenseikai. or Opposition Party
has given an authoritative statement in
Toxic which was made public here to-
night, explaining the presentation Of
China In 1915 during the progress of the
European War. These demands COM
prise one of the principal controversial
questions which must be ironed out by
the armament conference.
The statement foreshadows the stand
Japan will take at the conference on
this important question.
Although we did not want any
Chinese territory to become our pos
session." Viscount Sato says. I'VE
planted special interests in that part of
China. We are very self-denying. but
our position in South Manchuria is quite
different from the relations of America
or any European Power which had
never gone through these big sacrifices
we had made. 1t is true we had a lease
of the Liaotung Peninsula from Rus
sia, with the consent of China, which
had to run for term of years, and
was to expire in seven or eight years
from the time Of opening negotiations
with China. And we had the concession
of the South Manchurian Railway, con-
ceded by Russia to us. which also had a
term of years to run that was not very
long.
I'VE wanted to lengthen the period
of the Liaotung lease and that Of the
railway concessions. The railway was
practically destroyed when we got it
from Russia and we spent large sums of
money in repairing 1t and in improving
it's service.
''In regard to Eastern Inner Mongolia.
that region is adjacent to Manchuria.
and the )ine of demarkation is not very
definite. Therefore. to preserve our place
in South Manchuria it was necessary
to include a certain portion Of Mon
golia in our sphere of influence.
1.-The objects of our demands in those
matters was to have the period of the
lease and the charter to the railroad ex-
tended in time to enable our country
men to engage in lawful pursuits In
South Manchuria and Eastern Inner
Mongolia. and to enable them to enjoy
the right of land ownership in those
parts of China
