Although practically no hope is held out for the safety of the tug Cornell, formerly the Grace Dan forth, search of Lake Erie in an eff the disappearance of the vessel was the disap earance of the vesselwas continued today. Finding of a life boat containing the frozen body of members of the crew. dispelIed any belief that the Cornell is safe. The yawl and its. contents were picked up yestsE day by the e. A. Gilmore, one of the tugs assisting in the search, as she crutsed in the regular "Buf- alo course" along the Canadian coast between Port Colborne and Long Point.
 Ten miles west of the point where the life boat was located the Gill; IT ore had previously sighted several oil cans floating on the light waves. water. Hoping to find wreckage or the bodies of some of the other sev en men, the Gilmore cruised about the region for several hours before taking the lifeboat and the body of Paytosh tG Erie.
 A message received by the Great Lakes Towing Co.,, former owners of the Cornell, stated that the crew of the tug Charles A.

His mind was said to have been affect

done for him, and ne was removed to

for the purpose of endeavoring to

on equitable terms"
Chinese Claim Victory
From the Chinese point Of view the
most important of the provisions Of the
Hughes proposal is the last, which re-
lates to review Of existing commit
ments. Under this plan, the Chinese
delegates believe, they have gained
their point that the twenty one de-
mands properly may be considered un-
der the conference agenda, since the
demands constitute "a discernible
source Of controversy" to settle which
the Ear Eastern part Of the armament
limitation conference was called.
Keen attention was given by all the
delegates to the existing commitments
provision, Is it is expected that what
ever debate develops on the Hughes
proposal will be confined to it. As soon
rs this provision became known the
question arose: What will be Japan's
attitude
NJ Hanihara, the Japanese vice-For-
eiRn Minister, has contended steadily
"'AA" VIZ 1WSittv -Ouc uendnQS we're not
proper issue for consideration by the
conference. He held that the demands
'nfringed upon the rights of no other
nation and that since they were en-
bodied in treaties made between Japan
and China they did not concern any
other power.
The first suggestion that the de-
nands might be considered by the con-
terence, even though indirectly, came
from the spokesman of the British
delegation. who announced that they
Gould not be considered "as such" His
phrase "as such" implied that a means
for bringing the demands before the
,onfere would be devised. The pro-
;ision in the Hughes proposal made the
Blitish spokesmans meaning clear. It
s thst China, while not able to bring
he demands directly before the confer,
nee. might place before the board Of
'eference any OF the commitments she
Granted TO Japan under the demands.
New-York tribune., 1922-01-18
In effect this would be equivalent 70 .

In effect this would be equivalent 70 4
review Of the demands themselves.
Even the Shantung controversy
might be reviewed under the provision
relating to the fAirness Of existing
commitments, according to the Chinese
delegates. The frst group Of the TWEEN
ty-one demands gave Japan all the Ger
leasehold on Kiachau. the ownership
OF the Tsingsao- Railway and
the mines. These rights constitute q
monopoly, the Chinese contend, and
therefore violate the open door policy
Practical Method Advocated
Speaking or the necessity to provide
some machinery for applying the open
door In disputed cases, Mr.. Hughes. in
presenting his proposal, said it was
highly desirable. If the conference
were to be made all It should be in re
moving causes OF possible controver.
sizes, that these practical business
questions should be dealt with in p
practical, business way that is
through some mechanism for cxamina-
tion OF the nature Of the conflict, l.
there was conflict, between claims
The reports would. Of course, bind no
one. Nations would in no way part
with their right to maintain what tn ay
conceived to be their interests. Mt
tionals would In no way be impaired in
what they thought were their rights
under any concessions they might have
but they would at least avoid an un-
necessary dispute to the extent that
such dispute would not be favored by
lack OF opportunity for a general cor
sidcration. through An appropriate
body, Of the merits Of the particular
case
BY the Hughes proposal, Mr.. Bal
four said, he forcsaw that the old
practice Of spheres Of influence in
China was doomed. $50 far as the
British government is concerned"
said Mr.. Balfour, "we have in the most
formal manner announced that we re-
garded this practice as utterly inap-
propriate to the existing situation.
We think that the phraseology used
admirably expresses the view that that
system has not only gone. but has gone
forever, and is now explicitly con-
demned. The words general superior
ity of rights with respect to CONNER
cial or economic development in any
designated region are words happily
desi igned, as | think. to describe the
system of spheres Of influence; and
