DIR. Philip X. c. Tyau. Chinese
minister to Cuba, and secretary
general to the Chinese delegation,
has cabled his resignation as sec
reary.
He took this action because he
believes China's victory" here is
hollow one and that the confer
ence powers. including America.
will fail to give his country justice.
He sees storm gathering in
China.
The only thing left for us to
| do" he said today. lis to tell our
| people. that there is no hope of OBJ
| tanning justice and right while we
are weak. that we must reorganize
| our army. bring it up to Western
| standards and prepare to get our
/ rights by force.
Il came here expecting great
things. l thought that at last
| China would get hearing and that
robbery and spoliation would be
stopped. l did not expect that the
things we had signed away by
treaty would be given back to us
at once. but | did expect that in the
matter of foreign troops. foreign
/ police. foreign postoffices, forelRn
/ leases obtained under the twenty
| one demands, which we never
I recognized, we would receive the
/ active help of the other nations.
I particularly America. This hope
/ has failed to materialize and l can
not remain"
Concern over China's ultimate at
/ titude on settlements dealing with
her problems by the present arma-
ment conference is evident in certain
WashinGton circles Cabled advices.
| last night. indicated a growing re-
sentiment in Pekin that the Chinese
delegation has been unable to Sc
cure any definite promises of imme-
diate action at the hands of the
| conference. American officials here
| declared that any such opinion is
not based upon the facts. Already
/ there has been accomplished, they
/ say:
An agreement that the territo-
rial and administrative rights OF
/ China shall be restored and re-
spected.
An agreement that the open door
and equal opportunity to all ma
tions shall be assured in China.
Territory to BE Returned.
II nothing else should develop.
| these sources declared, China has
won a notable victory. But they
explain that the subject only has
| been touched. There has been in
agreement in principle that China is
to have certain territory returned.
Japan has refused to give up Man
churia. She still is engaged in d.
rect negotiations with China over
Shantung and has relinduished
/ rights there acquired from China.
The conference. when il assemblies
again tomorrow. still will have be-
fore it the whole general problem
| of restoration Of leased and occu-
| pied territories to China. There has
I been wide discussion of the mer-
ITS OF each concession. Tentative
| offers of withdrawal have been
made. Rut there has been as vet
no general agreement by the pow
ers rpresentcd around the table and
until they agree on something, or
I actually fail to agree, American Of

China Is not getting all that she Is
