For the sake of Europe and the
world at large, and in the common in

Sir Leo outlined the following rea-

Before the war; he explained,
"Germany had d considerable excess
of imports, for her exports of goods

Five-Power Treaty Completed
By Final Agreement Today
on Unfortifcation
SHANTUNG QUESTION
DIRECTLY NEGOTIATED
Naval Limitation Treaty to Be
Announced to World at
Full Session Tomorrow
BY A. l.. Bradford.
ti3v limited preSS)

Washington, Jan. 31-The Wash
ington arms conference today marked
up two more great successes to- its
record as it neared the end of its
work. The two latest successes of the
conference are:
Completion of tive-power treaty
for reduction and limitation OF great
navies of the world by final agree
ment on article 10, providing for UNI
fortification of the Pacific Islands OF
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan.
Settlement in direct negotiations
between Japan and China OF the
Shantung question. one of the most
serious issues of the Far East for
more than two years.
The naval limitation treaty will be
announced to the world at the
plenary session of the conference
tomorrow.
Another meeting of the Japanese
and Chinese delegates is scheduled
ior today, when it is expected the
Shautung settlement will be reduced
to final form.
Also meeting Of the full COM
mittce on limitation of ornaments is
on the program. and it is believed
that Secretary of State Hughes Will
read final draft of the naval treat
for approval before it is laid be1oi>
the open session of the conf .ienIe
tomorrow.
The American delegates and also
the representatives ut a''a-
ers were highly gratiiied today in
the rapid fire" agreements OIL
these two major achievements of tnc
conference.
The Shantung settlement, while
not actually part OF the work g.
the conference proper, is the direct
result of the parley, it having BEN
through the good Offices Of Secretary
Hughes and Arthur J. Balfour that
the direct negotiations between Japan
and China, which have resulted in
settlement, were undertaken. The
agreement reached between Japan
and China on Shantung follows al
most exactly the Hughes Balfuor
compromise proposal, which was first
revealed last week by the United
Press, which also carried the first an
nouncement at that time that the
Shantung question was on the verge
Of settlement.
The terms of the Shantung agree
mcnt are that China buy the railroad
by Il deferred payment with Chinese
treasury notes over a period of Is
years, with a Swear option to buy the
road outright.
