CHINA AND RUSSIA
 FACE LONG TUSSLE
Diplomatic BiCkerinSs Over ManChuria Present Difficulties

Moscow, Sept. UP)-Although l Nankings recent substantial accept ancc of the Soviet conditions for the settlement of the Chinese Eastern railway dispute has allaycd the menace of war in Manchuria, gov crnment circles today made it known that the controversial aspects of the situation were far from set tied.
 It was pointed out that a hard road of diplomatic bickcrinEs lay ahead due to the oriental passion for face saving, and that consider able discussion will have 10 take place before the actual conference can begin.
 The changes which Max LitvinOff, acting Commissar of foreign affairs, intends 10 make in China's proposed joint statement were declared 10 be moro important than they might appear at first sight. Ranking sug- gestcd a liquidation of the Chinese Eastern Railway dispute through the appointment of d new Russian manager were as Moscow insists on the reinstatement of the expelled manager or some action on China s part that would cNonerate him.
 Chinese Difficulty
 These differences involve osscn- tially the question of responsibility for the seizure of tn" Chinese East . I b1i irI which followed. To cXoncrato the old manager would amount to an admission on the part of the Nan 1 king government that it had not been justified in soizing the road and that its accusations against the Russian officials of the road, charging them with conducting communist propaganda, were grOUndlcSS.
 Moscow was also fully aware to- dAy of the difficulties of realizing q satisfactory accord with Ranking so long as the Mukdcn authorities were still in position to nullify and inter- fcre with Rankings actions. Indeed soviet public opinion has received the Ranking offer of COnCiIation less enthusiastically than the rest of the world. The soviet press has refused to regard Nanking's offer as com pl"t"ly genuine, and much doubt was entertained as Rankings power tC enforce it's will on the autonomous government in Manchuria.
 Russia Is Doubtful
 Soviet fears on this point wore confirmed by TokiO and Shargha reports which told of continued ac- tivitios of Chinese and white Rus sian forces along the frontier, anC announced that soviet citizens il Manchuria were sill being pcrsccut. led.
 The soviet foreign office has takcr the view that China must mako the next move. In the meanwhile mil. itary preparations along the Man. Churia will continue unrclaXcd. The public was given 10 understand tha the danger of serious development: has not yet been overcome.
 Ii is generally expected that i the conference does start, the sovie representatives will demand an ef fccttvc curb on the activities o T white Russian cmigrcS resident il . China.

TINE London conference on naval
armament limitation, set tenta-
lively for the latter part OF jan
i uary, will bring together group
of men who have the direction
in large part of international relations
of the world Five of the great powers
will be represented at the conference
table, if ali accept the invitations which
will be extended by Great Britain. They
are, In addition to the host nation, the
United States, France, Italy and Japan:
These powers will take no chance OF
failure, If the plans for the conference
are finally put through. A failure
would leave sores and a situation far
worse than that of today. The inability
of the three power conference at
Geneva in 1927 to reach an agreement
was q serious set back for the naval
limitation program. The word failure,
it is said, must be erased from the
lexicon of the coming London confer
ence In order to assure success. II Is
believed the nations attending the con-
ference will send as their delegates the
very ablest and most friendly material
which they possess.
U. S. Gone More Than Half Way.
The United States has been as
keenly interested in the question of
naval limitation as has Great Britain.
1t has met the British more than half
way in the preliminary discussions re-
lating to a naval conference. In some
quarters the idea has been advanced
that the President of the United States
himself, vitality interested in the pro-
nosaI for further naval limitation, may
attend the conference. But there Is

Gabes far down along Tunisia's north
south Mediterranean coast, southwark
to the rich oasis of Tozeur and then
extending west and northwest over into
Algeria to'the base Of the Aures Noun
tains. is the region to be converted into
arabic land, according to the present
intentions. It measures some $4,000
square miles. It is, a depression dotted
with chotts, or salt lakes, oftentimes
mere ponds or even empty hollows.
Being below sea level these chotts are
connected In many cases by raised 18th
muses.. Also, IN adjacent sections i'm
mediately before the. mountainous area,
there are numerous riyulets and wadies
flowing mostly from the direction Of
Mount Aures. which streak down the
countryside, trickling fItilely through
the porous sands to be lost In the sub
terranean depths. -,
To blend the waters Of these chottS,
creating O. sort of inland sea, and to
nourish by means Of huge reservoirs
the cllottless districts sprinkled only by
the streams and thus fertilize a wide
territory are the designs of the Stevens
Braman plan. II envisages these three
features: = 's'.'s .
I. A canal 1SS miles long 20 feet
deep and 80 feet wide, starting from
the environs of Biskra, south of the
Aures highlands and extending east
ward to Gabes and the sea. This artf-
ficial waterway will link all the c1otts
in It's meandering oath and afford
channel for the feeding in Of the
waters of the Mediterranean.
2. A port at GabeS commanding the
entrance to the canal, as an economic
asset and outlet to- the anticipated
products of the reclaimed soil.
8. Construction of powerful water
works and dams similar to the gigantic
California systems for irrigation OF the
contiguous sandy lands. whose aridity
is relieved only by the seasonal streams.
Pierre Louis BordeS. governor general
OF Algeria, ardently' supports the
scheme, which he regards not only as q
possible conquest by man andia credit
to- engineering science but more so as
an enrichment of the colonial resources
of the French empire. He himself
announced, that the Americans irriga-
ton idea would be studiously considered
by the North African Congress next
Winter. Recently the governor COM
pleted an extensive tour Of the Algerian
country. inspecting artesian wells and
other water supplies, one OF the priici-
pal concerns .of Che natives.

however. that this conference has been
regarded as a signal success for Ameri-
can diplomacy. The treaty of Versailles
and its accompanying Covenant OF the
League of Nations failed utterly of
ratification: both have been rejected
by the United States Senate. The fight
was carried to the country by the late
President Wilson, but illness overlook
him. It was continued in the national
campaign of 1920, and the Democrtic
candidate for President. James Cox
of Ohio who supported the adherence
of the United States to the League Of
Nations, was overwhelmingly defeated.
If President Hoover takes the advice
of his party leaders he will refrain from
going to the naval conference. The
late President Harding opened the
Washington Conference on Naval Limi-
tation and the Problems of the Pacific
in 1921. But he was not delegate to
the conference. President Coolidge
iourneyed to Havana for the opening of
the Pan-American Congress there. But
he did not remain for the conference,
which was left to the American dele
cation to handle.

Secretary Stimson of the Department

for the head Of the American delega-
