Secretary Mellon advised Congress
some months ago that the Treasury
was threatened with deficit of some
fifty millions unless appropriations
were reduced. The President and
the Republican leaders in Congress
have been vociferating loudly about
the wonderful economies practiced,
but Mellon is now out with a state
ment showing that the deficit will
be about four hundred millions in
stead of fifty. Another year of such

Nine-Power Agreement to
Improve Conditions i'm
China Is Expected 70 BE
Passed by End of Week
Held a Real Achievement
Franco-Japancse Alliance Is
Likely To Be Scrapped i'm
Process Of Realignmcni
BY Thomas Steep

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Bcnctits be-
slowed on China by the armament linn
itation conference will be embodied in
ninc~power agreement which Sccre-
tary Hughes will propose at an carly
plcnary session as one Of the crown
ing achievements Of the conference
The agreement as proposed alyesdy has
been worked out. 1t will deal " tn the
Aslatic mainland, just as the four
power treaty between Great Britain,
Franco, Japan and the United States
deals with the islands Of the Pacific
Ocean 1t will be based on the four
principles framed by Elihu Root, guar
antccing to China territorial integrity
and "thc most uncmbarra ssed oppor-
tunity to Develop and it will extend
these principles to Siberia.
Like the four-powcr treaty, the nine
power treaty will involve the existence
of another treaty. Under the four
power treaty the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ancc was scrappcd. When the new.
agreement is proposed the question will
arise, Is the Franco Japanese alliance
Of 1907 to be scrappcd also?
Another Alliance Involved
The Franco-Japanese alliance has
seldom been referred to in conference
circles. 1t loomed up unexpectedly to-
day when it was 1earned that the
I.J>
sdcring whether France was ready to
abrogatc her alliance with Japan as
Great Britain did. It is considered
that France will not scrap the Franco
Japanese treaty unless she is assured
that her interests will be protected as
effectively under the new agreement.
The Franco-Japanese alliance was
signed June 10, 1907. 1t is to continue
indefinitely. The purport and terms Of
the French alliance with Japan are not
dissimilar to those Of the scrapped
British covenant. In $50 words France
and Japan engage to protect their mu-
tual interests in or near China, the
exact language being ITO support each
in the regions Of the Chinese Empire
adjacent to the territories where each
has rights OF sovereignty, protection OF
cccupa tion."
One Of the reasons why France found
it impossible to accept the submarine
limitation, NJ. Sarraut said on Decem-
Der %, was that submarines afforded
her security against interruption Of
her communications with the French
colonies, upon which in the event #
war she must necessarily depend for
man power.
Rules Millions of Asiatics
Through her possession of French
Indo-China and other colonies in Asia
France has suzerainty over millions OF
Asiatics. This fact has been emphasized
by the French delegation as showing
the Importance to France Of exercising
her share of authority in the settle
ment of Far Eastern problems.

lance is scrapped or not-the opinion

LONDON, Jan. Snow that the Dali

crnment in transferring all powers in

That will be the surcst way OF steady

Dail's delay. The committees labors.
when suspended by adjournement over
Christmas, lacked only the finishing
touches and, as the situation is seen
from this angle, there Is no reason why
the provisional government of the Free
State should not be in operation within
a week or fortnight.
Satisfaction in London
There is general satisfaction here
over the Dail's decision, in view of the
especially unfavorable reaction Of Brit
ish conservative opinion to the pro
tracted debate and the tone of some
of the speeches in Dublin. The salts
faction is tempered with full recogni-
tion of the gravity Of De Valera's still
rebelious attitude, but the fact is
stressed here that his faction is now
! rebellng against the Irish and not the
British government, and with Irish af-
fairs in tho hands Of 1rishmcn much
Of The importance OF his detection is
removed.
In some quarters a gloomy view is
taken of the immediate outlook in Ire
land. For instance, J. l.. Garvn, in
"Thc Observer" to-day, sees Ireland
threatened with the fate Of another
Portugal, ruled by violent minority,
and declares that any government that
means to preserve order viii have to
strike hard. The general opinion, how
ever, is that the passions aroused dur
ing the Dali debate will settle down and
Griffith and Collins will be able TO pre-
serve peace. In any case the British
governments policy will be based on the
assumption that the Dail's decision
stands, and it will wash its hands Of
responsibility in Ireland, leaving the
factions to settle their differences with
out interference.
Election Seems Assured
The reaction Of lreland's ratification
of the treaty on the political situation
in Great Britain already is being dis
cussed. Though the Conservative ma
chimes opposition to a general election
in February is stronger than ever. to-
days papers are full Of forecasts of the
probable balance of parties in the event
Of an appeal to the country. Unless
there is some hitch at Cannes, the Irish
settlement, following the fruits of the
Washington conference, strengthens the
prospect that Premier Lloyd George viii

! newed vote Of confidence at the polls
