Washington-The ground work for

armament committee, preparations
for the new conference will oegin i'm

Washington negotiations. The United
States, Great Britain, Japan, France
and Italy will be represented and the
American government will select the
exact time and place, of meeting.
PreIImlnarles Up to Commission.
The first step toward revision of
warfare regulations is to be taken by
a commission" presumably composed
OF international law experts without
tion provides that after they have
agreed the FIVE governments shall
confer as to the acceptance of the
report and the course to be followed
to secure the consideration of it's rec
concentrations by the other civilized
powers"
II is taken for granted that ques-
lions OF national policy as we'll as
legal consideration will enter Ito the
final decisions reached and that the
whole problem of the submarine, one
of the storm centers of the Washing
ton conference, will be r%eopened when
the powers face each other once
more about the council table.
Basis Provided.
1t is possible that the tentative
agreements reached here both as to
submarines and poison gas will be
passed along in their present form to
provide a basis for the renewed dis
cussions.
The armament committee adopted
the resolution at a short meeting
called while most of the other activi-
ties of the conference were waiting
on a decision of the Shantung contro-
versy. The Far Eastern committee
likewise met and re-adopted it's previ-
