DELEGATES STUDY
PACIFIC PEACE PLAN
Withdrawal of japanese Troops
Urged by Chinese at Insti.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOCIATED fIeSS.
YOSEMITE, Calf. August 90
Withdrawal of Japanese troops from
North China was urged today by
Chinese delegates to the Institute
part of any new Pacific peace ma
chinery.
A session for all delegates today was
the last event on the institutes two
week discussion program. The I'M
official representatives seek to solve
problems that might lead to serious
differences between countries inter-
ested in the Pacific area.
In giving their views yesterday on
the removal Of Japanese troops the
Chinese made no reference to Man.
choukuo, Japanese-sponsored state in
the North China area. Some delegates
interpreted this omission as indicat-
ing the Chinese delegates felt China
might be willing to let that territory
remain in status quo.
Outlining conditions under which
a new peace mechanism might be
established in the Pacific, the Chinese
said that from their point of view
all nations of the region should
be in the pact. They added that
possibility of war between Japan and
Russia should be completely excluded.
Albert Surraut, former French
premier, said he believed the nine
power treaty, designed to preserve
China's territorial integrity, did not
work because it provided for no sane
tions. He expressed belief the 1922
pact should be revised to include
military and economic sanctions, the
latter to be universally applied.
