crest Of the mountain. The plane had
crashed through underground, moved
down trees, and buried itself under a

JAPAN SEEKS j. s.
PACT ON WIRELESS
Envoy Instructed to Take Up
Chinese Issue With
Kellogg.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC. October lG.-AInbaSS+d dor
Matsudaira has been instructed by
the foreign office to begin Immediately
conversations with Secretary of State
kellogg regarding the adjustment of
the Chinese wireless difficulties, by
which 1t is hoped some tentative
agreement may be reached by the
Interested powers before the tariff
conference.
Japan's only proposal is that the
entire operation Of all Chinese wire
less stations be turned over to the
Chinese government, with the property
rights of the interested powers fully
guaranteed.
Seek to Foil Propaganda.
1t is understood that thus far Japan
has not answered the Chinese note re-
garding the radio situation. but has
instructed kenkicki Yoshizawa. min
lister to Peking, to advise the Chinese
government unoff1cially that japanese
ideas favor operation and control of
wireless in China by the Chinese.
1t is also understood Japan does not
approve Of any project for loan
floated by Chinese for the purchase Of
wireless rights.
The fear that propagandists may use
the difficulties between the United
States and Japan over wireless con-
troll to influence the customs confer
ence has caused the Toxic government
to cable Ambassador Matsudaira to
begin his conversations with Secretary
Kellogg Immediately in the hope that
all clouds may be dissipated and q
tentitive understanding reached be-
fore the Chinese customs conference.
Will Extend Discussions.
Following the conversations in
Washington the Japanese ambassadors
in London and Paris have been in
structed to take up the Chinese wire
less question with the governments to
which they hold letters.
1t is not expected China will be ready
to take over immediate control and
operation of all the wireless plants
within it's borders, but Japan thinks
some arrangement may be reached by
which engineers Of various powers
may assume temporary charge of op-
Grafton and ultimately hand over COM
pIete control of the stations to the
Chinese government.
It is expected that many months will
necessarily elapse before definite plans
and agreements can be drawn up.
