Washington, Feb. C.--President
FIarding's belief In his conference
plan," of conducting international
negotiations has been SO strength
ened by the Developments here. his
friends say. that he regards the In
tangible relationships resulting from
the Washington meeting as Of even
greater significance than the formal
agreements that we're to be brought
to consummatlon today. He was to
make only short speech. but 1t
was expected to contain important
utterances on the general subject OF
International fellowship.
Four treaties and supplement to
a fifth were TO be signed by the
delegates at the big green table in
continental hall. around which all
the public meetings of the confer
ence have been held. The affixing
of wax seals and all the exacting
work of inspecting the treaty texts
before signature, are tasks OF such
importance that conference officials
say there will be no disposition to
hurry.
Two of tho treaties, relating to
tie Root -four points and the open
door, and that dealing with Chinese
tariff problems. must be signed by
the full delegations of the United
States, Great Britain, Japan, France.
Italy, China, Belgium, Portugal and
The Netherlands, while two other
points, limiting capital ship strength
and regulating submarine and poison
gas warfare, are to be given ap-
proval by the plenlpotentiaries OF
the United States Great Britain
Japan, France and Italy.
All these except Italy were to sign
also the supplemental agreement de-
flning the scope Of the four-power
Pacific treaty.
1t was planned to complete the
signing before the president speaks
so that as he delivered his appraise-
ment of the significance of the con-
ference he would have Its final rec
ord of accomplishment on the table
before him. There was to be no
other speech making.
Most of the foreign delegates plan
to leave Washington tonight or Tues.
day and they spent Sunday making
series of farewell calls. or at
work in their offices, winding up
finally details of the tasks which
have kept them here for more than
twelve weeks. Several issued state
ments praising the achievements OF
the conference and the hospitality Of
the American people.
Before the end OF the week, the
conference treaties probably will be
in the hands of the senate.
