INSTRUCTIONS FROM
TOXIC PLEASING
Bring Final Agreement on
Five Power Naval Treaty
One Step Nearer

WASHINGTON. d. C., Jan. 2s.-(By
The Associated Prcss)-Furthcr IN
structlons from Toxic to the Japanese
delegation brought "a final agreement
on the ive power laval treaty one
step nearer today. While moves were
developing that seemed 10 insure a
Anal decision in the Shantung contro-
yorsy within few days.
The exact nature of the Toxic COM
munication was not disclosed. but II
was understood To accept with one or
TWO reservations the language Of the
fortifications article the only portion
of the naval treaty incomplete. Toxic
s said to approve definitely the plan
for listing by name the Pacific Islands,
not to be further fortified but the re-
ply is in such form that much further
discussion will be necessary.
In the Shantung negotiations there
appeared no outward change altho
there was evidence that increasing
pressure was being brought TO bear
for a settlement.
Another factor was partially over
come with the Italians recei ,cd in
structions from Rome approving the
proposal to prohibit importation. pf
arms and ammunition into China. BY
some delegates. It was predicted .hut
both the naval and fat sdutesn conn
mittees might meet tomorrow. 1t J.sc
is possible that the japanese and
Chinese may come together before to-
morrow night to attempt to clear
away the last remaining agreements
over Shsntung. In announcing to-
night that Italy has approved tho
China arms resolution Italian spokes-
men intimated that they would be OBJ
liged to ask for the samc ryations
made under the arms agreement OF
Peking to prevent the resolution from
being construed as retroactive.
The drafting experts are working
overtime to put the accomplishments
Of committees and subcommittee into
treaty form.
