Washington, d. c., Jan. 2.-(By the
Associated Press .)-While practically
all machinery of the arms conference
halted for New Years the unofficial
delegation OF the Far Eastern rspub-
lie took advantage of the lull to press
charges of a secret French Japanese
understanding for perpetuation oil

The Far Eastern delegates declared

To emphasize the French denial

retary Hughes as chairman Of the con-
ference that the charges were wholly
without foundation in fact. The
French government he said in a writ

no commitments regarding Siberia ex-
cept those of which the United states
was aware. In view of the French
and Japanese repudation of the
charges and the position OF the Far
Eastern delegates as outsiders" sent
to the conference by an unrecognized
government. the inclination in many
conference circles was not to take the
development very seriously. At the
same time the accusations attracted

The question OF proposed restrictions

Under the second resolution the five
powers would join in an agreement
that in any future war among them

and Great Britain alone have acccded
to this proposition, Japan and Italy
