Pekin Delegates Make Cash Offer
for Shantung Line In Course
of Far East Sessions.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec 12. (By
the Associated Press.) Determina
tion of the value of the Kiao Chow
railway In Shantung with a view to
compensating Japan In case she
agreus to restore to China complete
control of the road, was taken up
by the delegates of the two nations
today at the resumption of their con
versations on the leasehold.
Withdrawal of foreign postoffices
from China by January 1, 1923, was
authorized at another meeting by the
far eastern committee.
These were the principal develop
ments of today's efforts of the con
ference to solve the Chinese problem,
and were considered as bringing
nearer a final settlement acceptable
to China.
The Chinese were said to regard as
highly significant Japan's willingness
to discuss the financial basis on
which the Klao Chow railway might
be restored. China today made a
financial offer, described by a
Chinese delegate as "very liberal."
A discussion then developed on the
valuation of the road.
According to the valuation made by
the reparations commission under the
Versailles treaty, Japan would pay
Germany 5'J, 000.000 gold marks, a
delegate said. This figure included
adjacent railway mines and certain
other ore fields and form id the bais
for today's consideration.
Chinese delegates declined to dis
close how near their offer approached
the reparations commission's valua
tion on the ground that their figure
would naturally be "subject to
change."
The Japanese delegates nave agreea
to furnish data on improvements and
the financial condition of the road.
and one of the many phases to be
discussed was declared to be whether
famines would be deducted rrom
what China would pay If her offer
wpm aecented.
The far-eastern committee, after
agreeing to a resolution providing for
withdrawal of foreign postoffices on
the tentative terms outlined two
weeks ago. took up the question of
spheres of Influence and reopened
the wireless settlement made last
week to consider a proposal by
France. Further discussion went
over until Wednesday.

a course sharply to world attention
by way of the conference Is to be
made. If hopes of the British group
for action on an expression of policy
favoring abolishment of submarines
' are not fulfilled the "committee of
IB" will be able to thresh out techni
cal questions as to tonnage allot
ments In submersibles and possible
size restrictions.
For Italy, spokesmen declared she
I bad come to the conference In full
sympathy with the purpose to reduce
naval forces and planned no request
for Increase In her naval strength.
France was said by the Italians to
have 162,000 tons in dreadnaughts and
74,000 tons in pre-dreadnaughts as
, against Italy's 132.000 tons in dread
naughts and 61,000 tons In pre-
. dreadnaughts.
The French group have not Indi
cated In any formal way what naval
strength they would ask. and recent
action of the French chamber in vot
ing heavy naval appropriations has
been explained as only to carry on
work previously authorized.
The whole question as to the
Franco-Italian ratios is purely specu
lattve as yet. Until the desires of
both powers have been laid before
the committee on IS, that discussion
cannot be taken up. Italian tookes
men made it plain, however, that
Italy's attitude depended on what
France sought.

Sir James Craig Charges Premier
Lloyd George With Violating
Pledge to Northerners.
LONDON. Dec. 12. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Conjecture continues
rife regarding the decision the Dai
Eireann will make Wednesday on the
Irish treaty. Conferences continued
today, but little leaked out to Indi
cate the trend or the discussions.
A statement issued by Eamonn de
Valera at Dublin tonight, in which
he declared any agreement was sub
Ject to ratification by the Dail El
reann, is considered In some quarters
to lend support to those who think
that the Dail will refer the issue to
the electorate.
Ratification Gnlns Ground.
Mr. de Valera's statement appar
ently was occasioned by the persist
ent newspaper argument that the
treaty must be ratified because the
Irish signatories were plenipoten
tiaries. Conservative and moderate ele
ments throughout the south are press
ing for ratification and a powerful
impetus will be given this movement
If. as expected, the hierarchy, which
meets tomorrow, makes a plea for
acceptance of the treaty.
At Belfast the Ulster party met to
hear Sir James Craig's report of his
visit to London.
After a discussion, described as
stormy. It failed to decide whether
Ulster would join with southern Ire
land or stay out of the all-Ireland
parliament. Sir James informed the
parliament that the situation was
grave and complicated by the agree
ment reached between the British
government and the Sinn Fein.
He charged Mr. Lloyd George wltn
violating the pledge given Ulster but
advised against taking any action not
constitutional.
UliSTEHITES TO STAND FIRM
Sir. James Craig Tells Leaders Sit
uation Again Is Grave.
BELFAST, Dec. 12. (By the As
sociated Press.) Sir James Craig,
the Ulster premier, presided over a
meeting of the Ulster party here to
day. Informing his supporters of his
recent conversation with Premier
Lloyd George In London. It is un
officially reported the proceedings
grew stormy when Sir James In
formed the meeting that Mr. Lloyd
George had maintained an unyielding
attitude toward Ulster.
It was intimated that except for
a few trifling changes the British pre
mier had declined to make any con
cessions, his attitude being "there is
the treaty and it stands."
In a statement on the general out
look, Sir James described the situa
tion as grave, but recommended an
attitude of courage and optimism. He
said Ulster was determined not to
swerve one inch from the path she
had worked out and not to alter her
ideals. He accused Mr. Lloyd George
of a breach of his pledge to Ulster.
Sir James made his statement on
the motion for adjustment by the
Ulster house of commons.
He said Ulster was particularly in
terested In two points in the treaty
with Sinn Fein:
The question of finance and the
proposed boundary commission to be
appointed in case Ulster decided not
to become a party to the treaty. He
refrained from discussion of these
points, saying he did not want to an
ticipate arguments that would be used
in the Imperial parliament in discus
sing these questions.
DAILi E1UEAXX STORM-CKX TKH
Division of Opinion Regarding
Treaty Based on Referendum.
DUBLIN. Dec. 12 (By the Associ
ated Press.) The division of opinion
among members of the Dail Eireann
is not limited to approval or
disapproval of the treaty with Great
Britain.
Some Sinn Fein leaders who think
that the treaty is a good one agree
with Eamonn de Valera In believing
that it embodies such a departure
from the policy previously submitted
to the South Ireland electors that it
cannot be accepted without a fresh
mandate from the constituency.
"I have been asked," said the De
Valera statement, "whether the honor
of Ireland is not Involved in the rati
fication of the agreement. The honor
of Ireland Is not involved. The pleni
potentiaries were sent on the under
standing that any agreement was
subject to ratification by the Dail
Eireann and by the country.
"The United States refused to ratify
a treaty signed even By its president.
The honor of the nation is not in
volved, unless and until the treaty is
ratified."
Newspapers here generally urge
that, since the Irish delegates were
plenipotentiaries, Ireland Is bound to
stand by their action, but some jour
nals hold the view that their powers
were limited by the understanding
that any treaty they might negotiate
should come before the Dail for rati
fication. Throughput today's discussions It
was evident that the personal rela
tions of the leaders who oppose each
other continue to be most friendly.
One of the strongest supporters of
the treaty among the clergy is Bishop
Fogarty of Klllaloe, in Mr. de Valera's
constituency.
lublin is l'ke a convention city to

politicians. Sinn Feiners are in the

Logue, the primate and the bishops

ed they will vote, possibly unani
mously, for acceptance of the Anglo-

Nationalists from counties such as
Limerick. Clare and Wexford feel
convinced that the members of the
Dail Eireann from their rfcffon will
vote for the agreement.
On the other hand, there are those
who believe Eamonn de Valera is
saining strength In his opposition.
Trinity college today- out itself on
record in favor of ratification of the
peace treaty. The board of directors
of the college passed a resolution in
structing the registrar to write to the
members who sit for the university in
the British parliament and to its four
members in the southern Irish parlia
ment, who were the only unionists
elected to that body, expressing the
hope that all these members would
una it possible to support the terms

At Same Time, It Is Apparent Ir
reconcilables Would Like
to Defer Judgment.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.
(Copyright, 1921. by the New York Evening
Post. Inc. Published by Arrangement.)
WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 12.
(Special.) Your correspondent is fa
miliar with the views of the more
Important of the so-called Irrecon
cilable senators. It Is not likely tbat
there will be a formidable opposition
In the senate to the four-power treaty
adopted yesterday at the arms con
ference. At the same time it is ap
parent that the irreconcilables would
like to defer judgment, and would
prefer not to go on record until after
the other treaties come out of the
conference. They regard the confer
ence as a unit, and would prefer, If
circumstances permitted, to pass judg
ment and take action on its results
as a whole. '
It is probable now that as many as
three additional treaties will come
out of the conference in rapid suc
cession. One will deal with the naval
ratio and the other with China. A
third subject is naval bases In the
Pacific. Obviously a naval ratio
which is satisfactory as long as naval
tases remain where they are now
would not be satisfactory. If new
r.aval bases were created, for exam
ple, by the United States close to
Japan, this subject may be treated In
a separate treaty, or It may be at
tached to the naval ratio treaty.
There are other minor subjects which
may form the basis of treaties.
Alliance Disposed Of.
It is apparent that there were two
reasons for bringing out the Pacific
Islands treaty first. One was that
It got rid o't the Anglo-Japanese al
liance. This was the real purpose of the
agreement. Under the terms of the
old compact between Japan and Great
Britain, neither country could termi
nate the alliance except upon a year's
notice. The present treaty terminates
it without the loss of that time and
upon a basis agreeable to both coun
tries. It was necessary to get the
Anglo-Japanese alliance out of the
way before final action could be taken
either on the naval ratio or on China.
A 5-5-3 ratio would not really be a
5-5-3 ratio as long as the alliance
between Japan and Great Britain con
tinued. It would be a 5-8 ratio.
The other reason for introducing
the present treaty first was an essen
tial part of the tactics which have
dominated the whole conference.
Field Easiest One.
It was an experiment In getting the
nations to march in step. This was the
easiest field In which agreement could
be reached, and one successful ex
periment in harmony makes the next
one easier. Moreover, there are cer
tain principles involved in the Pacific
islands treaty which would have been
more difficult to introduce In the later
treaties.
The agreement upon these prin
ciples In the present treaty makes It
easier to press them In future treaties.
