CANADA VIEWS
FARLEY JUST AS
THE BRITISH Do
Want Submarines Used for
Defense 0nIy-Think That
Other Conferences May
Be Called

washington, November 1s.-The
Canadian view of the issues now
pending before the Washington con-
ference in connection with both
armament and far eastern problems,
does not present any marked diver
gence from that already expressed by
spokesman for the British contingent
here.
One OF the Canadian representa-
tives speaking today on the subject
OF naval armament rather favored
the idea of continuing the efforts
initiated in Washington.
He pointed out that through the
development of new agencies of war
fare and changing conditions which
could not now be foreseen il might
be conceivable that succeeding con-
ferences would be valuable in carry
ing out the idea of the American
mind upon which the conference is
based.
AS to submarines, 1t was said that
the Canadians had taken no distinc-
tive position on that subject, al
though they would like to see an end
of that method of warfare and the
dDOlillOu Ol the SUBMARINES except
for defensive purposes.
Canada was not particularly inter-
ested, 1T was explained, in the unoffi-
cial Japanese idea of razing fortifi-
cations in the Pacific because such
Qualifications as Canada has on the
Pacific coast were of negligible
character.
No doubt some arrangements might

Japanese pact satisfactory to the
United States and Japan, 1t was said,
but a definite opinion of that subject

JAPAN WOULD LIKE
CHINA MADE SECURE

for Dealing With
China

Washington. November 1s.--Japans
position on China's proposals is be-
ing authoritatively outlined this
way:
Japan would like to see the confer
ence adopt a set OF principles guar
anteeing china's right of existence
and generally insure for China her
territorial and, so far as possible, her
complete administrative integrity. At
the same time these principles would
affirm the doctrine of equal oppor-
tunity for all.
Japan for the moment has no
broad programme to apply to China.
believing that II she sought to i'm
pose a broad platform it would lay
her open to suspicion as possibly
concealing some hidden purpose. AS
suggestions arise Japan will explain
her own Views which include a we'll
defined limit concerning China be-
yond which her spokesman say she
will not 60.
AS Japan and China are members
Of the League of Nations and have
subscribed to making public all
treaties. she is ready to refrain from
secret treaties. but doubts the prac-
ticabiltty of having China partici-
pate in new treaties concerning that
country. Japan. however, is agree
able to submitting conclusions to
China for an opportunity to register
disapproval. should she so desire.
japan would subscribe to a decla-
ration for the neutrality of China,
but would point out that during the
Russo-Japanese war. owing to terri
torial and geographical conditions.

to combat on Chinese territory and
that 1t might be necessary to traverse

gree between the economic activity of
Japan and that of other nations, more
particularly in Manchuria and Mon
