CHINESE ARMS
BAN UNLIKELY

PEKING, March 2.--Despite belief
in diplomatic circles that an inter
national effort may be made to re-
new and tighten the 1919 arms
embargo convention, Il was adj
mitted today that serious obstacles
exist. Three of the most powerful
of the signatories have little
sympathy with the agreement and
may refuse to join new conyen
ton. They are Japan, France and
Italy.
Japan IS willing to join = new
pact IL all nations sign It and
pledge themselves to make 1t effec-
tive. but such a development seems
unlikely.
Enforcement of such an agree
mert to the exact letter can only
be attained when all the countries
in the world join in it and strictly
observe the prohibition OF arms
shipments to China, but this can
not be effected" said DIR. Yosh-
izawa, japanese minister to PEEK.
