SENATE URGED TO
KEEP OFF SHANTUNG
Underwood Warns Any Attempt
to Drag Negotiations Into Con-
ference May Result Seriously.

Washington-In the most important
discussion yet held in the senate over
matters lending before the arms con-
ference, Senator's Lodge and Under
wood, two of the American delegates,
set forth the conference attitude to-
ward the Shantung question and the
territorial and political integrity OF
China and the open door policy. They
made their statements because of the
introduction by Senator Walsh of Mon
tana of q resolution asking the Presi-
dent for information as to what steps
had been taken to give effect to this
country's declaration and policies re-
garding the integrity of China.
Senator Walsh took the view that
with the four powers signatory to the
four-power treaty now in conference
in Washington it was an opportune
time to settle the problems relative to
the Far East. He indicated there was
apprehension lest the present arma-
ment conference break up without set
tling these questions, and he felt the
conference itself should take up such
questions
Senator Underwood, explaining that
the conference could not take up the
Shantung question and like questions
which are pending between China and
Japan without their consent, declared
any attempt at this time to throw them
into the conference and force "some-
bodys hand" would be throwing a
monkey wrench into the machinery" F."
with possibility of serious results. He
expressed hope and confidence that
negotiations now in progress here be-
tween China and Japan would be Sue
cessful. His utterances were a plain
warming to the senate not to interfere

supported Mr.. Underwood's statement

FRANCES BUDGET
IGNORES U. s. DEBT
Provides s247,000,oo0 for Army
but Makes No Plan for Inter-
est-Debt Above 3 Billions.

Westinghouse nee, whose delega-
ton to the International conference
blocked proposals to reduce military
forces, is planning to spend $247 ,O00,.
900 this year on her army, according
to an official report to the Commerce
Department.
At the same time the French govern.
ment made no provision whatever in
| its 1922 budget for payment of $780,
100000 of interest on her war debt to
this country. The report to the Com.
merce Department gives the entire
French budget for 1922. 1t shows the
French military forces will cost $780,.
100000 francs, and the navy, exclusive
Of new building q total of S44 ,0O0, ,OOO
francs. On national defense France
thus is preparing to spend 1858, 900, 600
francs.
This is an increas> over 1920, when
the total ordinary budget for national
defense was but 3,33S, 100000 francs.
The figures show that despite the ac.
tions of the arms limitation conference
the French government is increasing
rather than decreasing her expend.
itures in preparation for war.
The 1922 budget provides for al ex.
penditure of approximately $3.50 for
the army and navy for every resident
of France. The United States this
year is spending only $40 for the
same sc and much less under the
estimates for Tho TeNt fiscal year.
The French debt to the United States
stands at nearly $3,0OOO 100000 in prir.
cipal, according to the official state
ments of the Treasury Department. De.
ferred interest payments amount to
several millions of dollars.
A reduction in the size Of the French
army, it is pointed out, would enable
that government to meet promptly the
interest on her debt to the United
States. Were the French army re.
duceC by Cne-half, it would still be
among the largest stanGii.G military
forces of the world and would be
nearly twice the size of the United
StotoS stoDdir. army
