Sarraut Regrets Ethics Forbid
Plea He Would Utter for France
Present Head of Tricolor Delegation to Conference
Suffers i'll Silence as Charges Are Levced
Against His Home Land

From TAs 9'sybass's 1yosA;arto,: Barsap
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1e.-Thcse
have not been pleasant days for Albert
Sarraut, head of the French delegation.
Bound by his position not to say any
thing, he has had to realize his coun-
try is being misunderstood without be-
ing able TO explain. To the news
paper men he has said repeatedly:
Gentlemen, as a newspaper man my
self am fully in sympathy with your
desire for news, and would like moth
ing better than to tell you everything.
But my mouth is sealed for the mo-
ment, and believe me, | am sorry that
it is"
N. Sarraut is rather stocky, with
up in bristling style. He has the dark
complexion that comes from life in the
tropics. AS Governor of French Indo-
China he has had much to do with the
questions of the East, and is an expert
on certain phases Of Asiatic problems.
II is not every governor who can boast
of having reigned over two kings and
an emperor, nor are there many colo
NAL governors who have maintained
high positions in the diplomatic serv-
ice and also acted as delegate to great
international conferences.
NJ. Sarraut has been Handicapped by
not knowing the American mentality.
The same cannot be said, however, of
Jules Jusserand, the other French dele
gate, who has been ambassador here
since 1908. NJ. Jusserand knows Amer
lea as few Frenchmen do, and has done
much to preserve the friendly rela-
tions between his country and ours.
But Nj. Jusserand sees things largely
from the point OF view of the profess
sional diplomat, and belonging to the
old rather than to the new school, he
does not quite appreciate the force OF
public opinion in Americas foreign re-
laions.
M. Jusserand was frequent par
ticipant in the games of the "tennis

Chinese part OF Manchuria and he is
known to have amassed fabulous
fortune. It has been often intimated
that Chang aspired to be the next
ruler OF China, rs q step to which he
proposed first to build up an empire
in the provinces of Manchuria, Mon
go!ia and Chilli, after the manner Of
Jenghiz Khan. Visiting him in his
palace in Mukden a few months ago,
Lord Northclifc described him as the
ableSt man in the Far East.
Railroad Issue Still Acute
Notice Of impending changes in
China's internal affa rs was issued by
the Chinese delegates after the six
teenth session with the Japanese dele
gates over the Shantung controversy
had failed to result in q settlement
The negotiations viii! be continued TO-
morrow. The only issue remaining
Ter of the railway from japanese to
Chinese control. China wants to pay
cash, but has agreed to extend the
time for Japan's relinquishment over
period OF three years. The Japa-
rese delegates, on the other hand, have
refused cash. They insist Japan shall
retain financial control by requr-
ing China to extend payments over
twenty years.
The twenty-one demands, under
which Japan obtained ninety-nine-year
leaseholds on the South Manchurlan
Railway, the fortified harbor of Port
Arthur and The commercial port Of
Dairen. and by which she acquired inn
portant economic concessions in inner
Mongolia and in Shantung, are still be-
fore the Far Eastern Committee. No
time has been fixed for the committed IS
next session and no indication has
been given as to the disposition OF
China's plea regarding the demands
The Chinese delegates declare that
without an abrogation Of the demands
imposed under an ultimatum by Japan
when Europe was preoccupied with the
World War, and the surrender of
Shantung unconditionally tie Chinese
people will be dissatisfied.
Without a central government such
as General Chang is reputed TO be
forming, the Chinese delegates assert
in their statement issued tonight, ut
is impossible to avail ourselves OF all
the advantages to be derived from the
principles adopted at the Washington

delegation which negotiated il. lie
characterized it as "the most gnoble
document in Irish history" and said
the chief executive of ireland would
be British monarch. and that II
"Princc Lloyd George was invited over
to open the Irish Parliament black
f1ags would fly In DubDn,' at which
cries of "No, mol" were shouted all
over the hall. De Valera stuck to
his contention, however, adding that
"if proper peace we're made we would
regard Lloyd George not as u3urpcr
but AZ a distinguished visitor, such Re
might be received from any friendly
state"
He excused Griffith and Collins on
the ground that they had acted az they
did because of their excessive love for
Ireland, but he predicted that when q
provisional government was set up in
Dublin Castle 1t would be regarded as
q usurpcr. Drawing parallel from his
prison experience, De Valera said that
when he was permitted to leave cell
for more comfortable hall he re-
fused to sign n document giving over
his body to the jailcr, but that the
signatorics to the treaty had done just
this thing.
VIII Resign Leadership
Briefly, De valera's speech amounted
TO an admission that he intended to
withdraw from the leadership Of Sim
Fein and lead the opposition IN the new
Parliament. From the applause that
greeted him it seemcd apparent that a
fairly close vote would be cast.
Stack and Count Plunkett followed
IN support Of De Valera, the former
saying that no member Of his family
ever had taken an oath to q British
King and he did not intend to break
the precedent. while Count Plunket tt
told how his son Was shot against u
wall during the Irish rebellion Of 1916,
while two others were now serving ten
year sentences, and declared that if
he voted in favor of the treaty it
would mean abandonment Of his own
children.
Dr.. Joseph Mcbride, whose brother
was killed fighting, declared he would
support the motion because he knew
the Irish people demanded peace. When
adjournment was taken the members
departed in groups according to their
opinion regarding the treaty, indjcat-
ing that the split in the Dali is
serious.
