the Associated Tre-ss.) Further de
tails of both the naval treaty and the
K'lantung negotiations were Ironed
out today, but the arms delegates
nave up hope of a plenary session
this week to announce definite re
aims. The "big five" completed Its first

Vrland's Action Causes Stir.
Word of the resignation of Tremler
Brland of f ranee created a stir in
conference circles, but the disposition
in French quarters tonight was to
minimize Its immediate effects on the
"Washington negotiations. Al.bert
Barraut. head of the delegation, in
dicated his belief that the change of
dministration would not vitiate the
Rs-reements projected here.
Among American officials in the
conference, however, there was some
annrehension that M. Briand's retire
ment might have a far-reaching; effect
on the naval limitation programme
s he had beem directly responsible
for France's withdrawal of her 350,-
COO-ton capital ship proposal.

Informal conversations of the "big
five," are understood to be the sec
tions relating to disposition of scrap
ped ships and fixing a "status quo"
for Pacific fortifications. On the for
mer the chief delegates are said to be
in virtual agreement, while instruc
tions awaited from Tokio are ex
pected to make early settlement of
the latter possible.
The discussions of scrapping have
aroused unusual interest among the
naval experts, who have recommended
that permission be given for conver
sion of proscribed warships into other
types of craft and have urged that the
provision would represent a large fi
nancial saving because of the neces
sity of constructing new vessels of
various classes in the near future.
Conversion Is Opposed.
Opposed to this is the view that to

other type of war vessel would not be
In accord with the animating purpose
of the Washington conference. This
position is understood to have been
taken In the' "big five" meetings by
Secretary Hughes. To support it, the
argument was made that the confer
ence should demonstrate its desire to
reduce armament by specifying that
the surplus ships must be put out of
business altogether
The question of defining the geo
graphical scope of the Pacific forti
fications article was described in au
thoritative circles today as largely a
matter of finding the proper techni
cal terminology to carry out decision
aiready reached.'
Difficulties Are Met.
Originally the fortifications agree
ment provided that no Island legiti
mately within the "homeland" of the
United States or Japan should be af
fected by the treaty but that on all
other islands in the region of the Pa
cific fortifications should be kept in
their present status. When they came
to details, however, the plenipotenti
aries found that the Bonin Islands
were held by the Japanese to be a
part of the Japanese "homeland," al
though the Japanese had no objection
to extending the "status quo" agree
ment so as to Include the Bonin
Kroup.
In consequence an attempt now' is
In progress to find a way to bring
the group within the scope of the
fortifications arthrie without at the
tame time classifying it as outside
the Japanese "homeland."
The present proposal Is to attach
to the treaty a map, with lines drawn
to indicate in precisely what zone
the "status quo" is to apply.
A spokesman for the American
delegation today gave the impres
sion that the United States had
reached no final decision regarding
China's request for conference dis
cussion of the "?1 demands," although
some of the American delegation
members were known to be strongly
of the opinion that the subject can
not be debated, in view of Japan's
objection. Data for use in the Si
berian discussions also are being
made ready for the delegations.
Point Granted to Japan.
The compromise suggestions made
by Secretary Hughes and Mr. Balfour
for settlement of the Shantung rail
road problem, although closely
guarded, were known to contain
some measure of Japanese participa
tion in management of the road dur
ing the period given China to make
payment for the property. Pending
word from their capital, the Chinese
and Japanese both are reserving
Judgment regarding the suggestions.
In high official quarters there have
been indications that the American
government regards the Shantung
question as one which should be set
tled to insure proper relations in the
far east, and it is, known that Presi
dent Harding has kept himself
closely informed of developments in
the negotiations. It would not sur
prise some of those in close touch
with the question if some proposition
for mediation by the president came
out of the Hughes-Balfour com
promise movement.

(Cnpvrlrnt. 5921. bv the New Tors Kvening
Poet, inc. Published by Arrangement.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 13.
(Special.) The armament conference
will come to an end vith events less
dramatic perhaps, but no less con
crete than those with which it began.
The thought, or rather the atmos
phere which suggests that the con
ference is going to peter out, is as
far as possible from the facts. Any
idea that the questions of China and
Siberia are going to be thrown Into
the pot with a lick and a promise,
while the foreign delegates hurry to
make their sailing dates, should not
be entertained.
"Sailing dates will have to yield to
the Job," as one official remarked
recently, "until this conference has
gone through the Job like a saw
through an oak. When the job is
done and done well, the conference
will be over, and not before."
The delegates have worked hard,
but they are not tired. They are
not the sort of men to lose sight of
the purpose with which they began
their Job or to become listless be
cause they encounter a knot in the
oak. ,
Problems to Be Solved.
China and Siberia, -admittedly, pre
sent difficulties, but there is no
possibility of the conference ending
without affirmation of two broad
'principles about these two territor
ies; not merely the affirmation of
principles, but also action based on
these principles or the clear promise
of action at a sufficiently definite
date. The principle about China ia
that her political integrity shall bo
unimpaired, and that on the economic
and commercial side no rights or
privileges shall be asserted or , en
joyed by any one nation that are
not equally enjoyed by all other na
tions. As to Siberia the principle Is sub
stantially the same. Mr. Hughes
once expressed it by saying that the
United States has a sense of moral
trusteeship for preserving the in
tegrity of Russia's territory until
that unhappy country has recovered
from its present woes. It is not
tolerable that when Russia comes
back she shall come to the spectacle
of a world which regards itself as
more respectable than Russia now is
in a political and economic sense, but
which nevertheless has seized tne
opportunity to pick up a few frag
ments of- the sick nation's territory.
The nations represented at this con
ference are neither going to engage
in giving away somebody else's
property nor to condone the taking
of somebody else's property.
Japan Is Provided For.
The plea that Japan must have a
part of the mainland of Asia to give
room for an expanding population
has been disposed of by the confer
ence. Japan does not want room or
need room for expansion in the sense
of peopling new territories outside
her homeland. The facts and figures
that have been assembled in the
course of the work of the conftrence
make this clear. The people of Japan
do not colonize in new territories.
Since Japan has had Corea and parts
of northern Asia the number of Jap
anese who have gone in and colon
ized has been negligible. What has
really happened is that under the
protection of the more settled gov
ernment that japan nas Drougni to
those parts of Manchuria where she
has established herself it is the Chi
nese and not the Japanese who have
come in and colonized in large n am
bers.
What Japan wants and needs is ac
cess to the coal, iron and other raw
materials on the mainland of Asia.
To this she is entitled just as other
nations are entitled to it. Because
he is so much nearer, she will al
ways have a greater advantage than
other nations. But this advantage of
geographical nearness ought to be.
and must be, enough for Japan. It
is not to be tolerated that she should
set up political control there of a
sort that would enable her to exclude
other nations or put them at a serious
disadvantage.
China Assured Protection.
This is the heart of the Chinese and
Siberian questions that are still ahead
of the conference. The present un
happy condition of those two coun
tries makes the question difficult,
but the conference will not adjourn
with any action concerning them that
is unsatisfactory to the American
people. It should be recalled that at
the third open session of the confer
ence Mr. Hughes read the Root reso
lutions on China, had them formally
adopted by the conference, and then
said:
"This declaration is. In truth, a
.charter containing an assurance to
China of protection from acts in dero
gation of ner sovereignty and inde
pendence and administrative auton
omy, and also an assurance that as
between powers there shall be a care
ful observance of the principle of free
and equal opportunity in matters re
lating to China and that no one shall
seek special advantages or priv
ileges at the expense of others."
Mr. Hughes then expressed for him
self the hope thafr before the confer
ence should end all those matters
about China and the far east should
be put Into an appropriate agreement
and that such an agreement should ,

Burch "was proved by the state's evi

testimony and the remaining time to
the contention that if Burch did kill
Kennedy he was insane when he
did it.
