DATE ANNOUNCED
FOR FINAL MEET
Of ARMS PARLEY
Last Plenary Session is Booked;
Delegates to Assemble at State
Department and Sign All
Treaties.
(By The United Press.)

Washington, Feb. 2.-The final
plenary session of the Washington
Conference for the Limitation of
Armaments is planned for Saturday
following that on Monday.
The conference delegates will as
semble at that time at the state de-
partment and sign the various
treaties which have been drawn up
during the conference, 1t was an
nounced this morning.
The two matters still in an unset
tied state are the famous twenty-one
demands and the Chinese Eastern
railway. China wants the conference
to consider the twenty-one demands.
Japan flatly refuses to accede to this
proposal. Indications are that Japan
will win out although there may be
some sort of a nebulous resolution
adopted as a face saver"
The question in the Chinese East
ern railway matter is what to do
with this road pending the time it
can be turned back to Russia, the
owner. 1t was taken over by the
allies during the war and has been
operated by an allied technical oper-
ating board. The subcommittee of
experts which considered the ques-
tion recommended that the operat-
ing board be continued. A sub-com-
mittee Of delegates now is consider
ing the recommendations.
All the other questions on the far
eastern section of the agenda have
been disposed of in committee and
treaties are now being formulated by
drafting subcommittee. There will
be at least two Of these treaties.
