ally believe insures progress and ac-
compli shment, increasing Importance
attached to its outcome today, as a
result of the informally expressed
hopes of President Harding that the
conclave might lay the foundation for
a continuing series of conferences,
with the aim of perpetuating closer
International accord. The Presidents s
plan, which has been offered only as
a personal suggestion to some of the
foreign delegates, who have generally
approved il. was an outstanding topic
of discussion in conference circles as
the delegations convened this morn
ing for another committee session.
Submission of the result of the
present negotiations for approval not
only to the participating nations. but
to those not represented here. includ-
ing Germany and Russia, was lndl-
Gated as a possible first step toward
world wide Endorsement of the con-
ference plan, to the end that the
smaller governments might join with
the powers in future discussions al
fecting the world situation generally
Put forward by no means as dehnlte
proposal at this stage, the plan as
offered by the President was under
stood to have embraced no details
nor was there any indication that any
covenant or constitution would DE
proposed as its basis. This would ac-
cord generally with its possible ful-
fillment eventually of President Hard
ing's Association of nations idea.

The suggestion now emanating from
the White House for the establish

for future conferences does not come
as a complete surprise by any means
In President Harding's address well

he clearly laid the way for discussion
of such an association. without once
using the name of association of
nations This was pointed out at the
time of his address.
The expectation among the for

an association of nations will be de-
veloped further by the President and
his spokesman at the conference at an

PROTEST WARFARE RENEWAL
Press Raises Voice Against Re.
sumption of Hostilities.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November ga chorus
of vigorous protest against renewal
of warfare in Ireland in the event the
present peace negotiations collapse
is raised by the morning newspapers.
after the meeting yesterday of
Premier Lloyd George and Sir Jam mes
Craig, Ulster premier. In this con-
ference the British cabinet chief in
former Sir James that Sim Fein Ire
land had refused to swear allegiance
to the ccrown in return for an Ulster
agreement to enter an all-lreland
parliament. The gravity of the situa-
tion resulting from this refusal calls
forth the references to a possible re-
currence of hostilities.
THE government cannot engage in
civil war with the Irish nation if
the people of Great Britain are de-
termined that there shall be no war,
declares the Daily News. adding,
THAT is the dominant factor of the
situation
Urges Union Opposition.
The Daily Herald. the labor organ.
says: "A new war would outrage the
morals of the whole world and would
never receive the sanction of the
British people. The trades union and
labor movement must resist to the
utmost further reference to the arbi-
trament of force"
The men of all parties are urged
by the Daily Express to rally to the
defense of an Irish settlement. 1t
asserts that nothing but public opin-
ion can accomplish this result.
The Westminster Gazette says it
believes the British people are quite
determined not to fight anybody in
Ireland in the interests of anybody
else in Ireland"
Find Little Comfort.
Further developments are awaited
with the keenest anxiety, the News
papers generally finding little comfort
in the outlook beyond the fact tnat ne
gotiatiOnS are still proceeding.
The next definite development in the
situation. it is believed. will not come
before next Tuesday. when Sir James
will report to his parliament. On the
same date the official correspondence
that has passed between the various
delegations may be officially published
here. Although Sir James declined to
make statement after yesterday s
conference, ne intimated as he left for
Belfast that his report would tend to
relieve the tension existing in Ulster.

Save for reservations as. TO the length

to the conference by the Chinese dele
gates.
This was made known today by
| members of the Belgian delegation,
| who yesterday voted in favor OF the
gradual abolition Of extraterrit"rial
rights L: China.
| Position Of the BcIeinns.
The position of the Bclgians. N
brief, is that China should be as
sisted in becoming a self-governinE
nation. but that reforms should not
| he pushed until the people of the
yellow republic are ready to asslml-
/ late them.
! Concerning the question Of extra
| territoriality, il is the opinion OF a
prominent member of the Belgian
delegation that the Chinese have dem
| onstrated Il capacity for taking over
| the administration of justice by the
| progress they have made during the
| last few years in drafting civil and
! criminal code. But this ofliciaf ques-

Chinese judiciary has been sufti-
ciently developed and expanded to
| make the abolition of foreign courts
a practical prospect in tn. near fu-
| ture. He indorses the suggestion OF
| the conference that Il committee hr
named to visit China and make an
| exhaustive Investigation Of its jul
| dical system.
Know Chinese Situation.
| Members of the Belgian corps of ad
visers at the conference have spent
years in China, and one of them,
lChevalier de Wouters, formerly serv-
! ed as legal adviser to that country.
Another of the advisers is Jules
! Jadot, head manager of the Lung =
| Hal railroad. These men know the
| temperament and capabilities of the
| Chinese as a race. They believe China.
| If given the proper encoura gem" n t
, and aid, will not be found wanting in
an ability to administer her affairs
without the aid of other nations
Belgian capital has played d prom
nent part in the development Of China :
| resources. 1t has gone not only into
mines and railway improvements. but
has been circulated freely on Chinese
mortgages. The Beleians say that not
one of their enterprises in China has
failed, and vita this statement they
generally link a tribute to the honesty
of the Chinese people.
Announcement Not Surprise-
TodayS announcement. therefore
that Belgium is in sympathy with the
