Starr visited the ONCE of The

in behalf of the other prisonerS al

believed in trying TO make a man

duty to society and his fellow man
and setting an example himself.

IL Is an exaggeration to say that
as compared to the Foster regime,
the workhouse now might lust as

TREATY TOILET
CHINA AND RUSSIA
ALONE" PLANNED
Britain Backs Japan in
Opposing Discussion in
Farley on Shantung.

A nine-power treaty expressing
the attitude Of the powers towart

next big thing attempted by tn,
conference.
This treaty, while IL will dea
only in a general way with prin.
ciples guiding the Pacific power;
in their attitude toward China and
an important bearing on the poll.
teal and economic Developments In
mainland. 1t will be an ordinance
China and Russia alone. following
the lines of the Root resolution re.
garding China.
The treaty may fail through Chi.
nese and Russian opposition. This
opposition Is based on the fact tina,
IL will not deal specifically with
controversial conditions in the Fal
East. It's Importance, however, will
lie In the fact of putting the ma,
tions on record in the most forma
and binding way. and the hope thus
engendered that il can only be vio.
lated at the expese of alternating
liberal support everywhere.
Britats BACKS japan.
The British delegation 10 stand.
ing squarely behind Japan in tho
opposition to conference discussion
of Shantung or the twenty-one de.
mands. A spokesman for the Brit.
ish- delegation said yesterday thai
the conference had gone about as
far as II could be expected to &c
in dealing with the Chinese
troubles.
1t is asserted that should the con
ference take up for Investigation any
treaty now operative between China
and any foreign powers, the principles
thus established would necessitate an
examination OF most OF China's con
category of treaties have sprung up
all the alterations OF territory, leases
spheres of influence and the acqui-
sition of monopolistic rights by for
eign nations in China.
The Chinese argument for confer
ence discussion of the treaties is that
they menace the peace Of the Far
East and involve the financial and
trade rights of other nations, con-
travening the very principles which
the conference has adopted and
stands ready to put in treaty form.
Want All Leaseholds.
A statement by a British spokes,
man. that China does not want the
British to surrender rights In Kow,
loon. was denied by the Chinese.
The Chinese want all the leaseholds
to be surrendered, as an act Of right
and justice because they were all
forced from China" their spokes-
man said.
II Is the British view that Japan
has a pretty good claim to Port Ar
thor and Dairen" Japan's special
position there stands in the same
light as Engiand's special position in
the south The recent French row is
likely to result in keeping the French
from making any more concessions.

Financial Wizards Will
Submit New Plan to

OPEN MARTS FOR
RUSS AND GERMANY
Five Nations Agree on
Undertaking for Solven-
cy and Better Times.

PARIS, DEC. s1.-Economic Eu'
rome took a new lease on lie TO-
night. A barter" plan for recon,
structing the financial systems oi
suffering nations was formulated Al
an international meeting of gov
ernment experts and big business
men. Chances for acceptance OF the
plan by all the nations OF Europe
and probably the United states ap'
peared exceedingly favorable.
The general outline of the ne"
scheme is:
/. Creation of an industrial cor
poration, capitalized at f2o.o0o.o0o
To stimulate Embarrassed trade with
Germany and Russia.
2. The corporation is to be backed
by an international consortium or
ganized by private interests but ap'
proved by all governments.
3. Any nation can enter commen-
surate with its trade and financial
abilities.
Plans Laid at Conference.
The scheme was drawn up at q
formal conference of government
representatives and financiers from
England, France. Belgium, Italy
and Japan. 1t was advanced by
Britain. but met with approval OF
all the delegates. II will now be
submitted to the Cannes meeting
of the allied supreme council fol-
approval.
II It is approved-and there was
every evidence II would he-a pan
European conference will then be
called to meet in February. Al
this conference the final plans fol-
the organization will be made AL
nations will be invited to attend
It will be fashioned after the Wash.
ington disarmament conference.
The scheme Is aimed. primarily
for the rehabilitation of Germany

tire world.
Seek Return to Normally. =

maxy and enahie$er To make iIei
reparations payments to France
France, by reason OF the trade. will
be permitted to pay her debts. and
the ultimate conclusion, the dele
gates believed. would be a return
nearer to normalcy economically.
The plan does not mean that
France will recognize Russia, il is
said. France merely will silently
permit resumption Of trade, and no
offfcial diplomatic action toward
recognition of the Soviet republic
will be taken. American ban s will
be asked to join in the corporation,
and definite attempt will be made
to induce the United States gov
