LEWIS RIVER FORK BRITA1H BALKS AT FRANCE'S POLICY tCoatbiatd Tnm Tit On) Wart (prion. Nov. Th North, t western K.lectrlo company has applied J for 'a preliminary permit (or a large l owr development In the north fork of Lewi river. In Clark)- and CowliU ! counties, Washington, it waa announced by lha federal powar commission. I Three separate developments will b -made. Tha uppar one, known aa Swift i Creek unit. Involves conatrucUon of tonrrete dam 170 feet nigh,1 creating a ireaervotr with a capacity of lto.ooo J err fet A tunnel ten and a half mile long will lead to a power house devel- oping Jj.000 moraa power. -The Cougar tcreelt unit consists of a diversion dam (and tunnel six and a half miles long to a power house developing IS.SOO borae- power. The lower unit, known as Con Idltt sit, consists of a concrete dam 200 feet high, creating a reservoir with a rapacity of 200,000 acre feet A power 'house will be bulit at the dam and will (develop 21,000. horsepower. !Tbe application for a preliminary permit Is purely formal." said I T. kferwln. general superintendent of the Northwestern Electric company, today. "On tha face of this announcement ft looks aa If we were Intending to start a Jlei of work Immediately when as a mat tier of fact t have mada this atep merely to protect our holdings ot nine . (or ten years. An Immediate development of these power sites la not being con t tenr. plated, ,. - ' . -Jar suacepUble to many Interpretations. !one diplomat described them aa "so 'broad that a horaa and wagon can be ,driyn through any ona of them." I Ttoe BrMlsh, French, and Chinese all Jhave different views on how the Root principles are to be applied to specific .points., ACCEPT STATUS QXO ' Tha British Interpretation aa outlined ' by a spokesman for the British delega tion la that In. accepting the proposals i China also accepted. In effect, the status quo In China. , The proposal pledging the powers to assist China to rehabilitate heraelt-flnani dally and economically is Interpreted by the British aa meaning that the powers are to operate, forming a sort of Inter national control over Chinese railways. They also put forth the suggestion that China's acceptance of the four princl plea Involves also her acceptance of the consortium Idea under which the powers twill underwrite a glgantlo loan to China. ( Tha ChJneaa viewpoint Is directly op (poslte. They contend that China shall not ba "Internationalised" and thaln tterpret the Root proposals aa meaning that. China Is to ba restored to complete 'administrative InUgrtty and economic llntpendenre aa soon aa possible. The sharp conflict) In interpretations al '. ready haa led to yrbalTllt behind the ! closed doors of tha Pan-American build Sing and It la expeetad that there wiU ba (more of them tomorrow when the com- Ciltee resumes Its secret seeaiona Ureal Britain's real attitude on some ' the Chinese problems has' been left In doubt by her spokesmen. A week ago ;yestsrday, A. J. Balfour, head of the 'delegation, deaorlbed the pernicious aphere of Influence' In China as aa ""antique method" of dealing with Chi nese problems and Indicated Great Brlt ain'a willingness to "get out of China" n .concert with the other powers having spheres of Influences. It was hinted that Great Britain Is willing to five up her ' holdings with tha exception of Hongkong, , "when la a great British base and trade 1 center. BBITISH VICW CHA50ES ', Since the Root proposals came out, however, there apparently haa been change In the British viewpoint. Lord Rldell. tha spokesman for tha British !delegatlon, declared tha British dele gation viewed tha situation aa solidi fying and atrengtbenlng tha foreign power in their spheres tf Influences. Intimations that Oreat Britain la will ' lng to get out, ot China have disappeared. Tha Japanese are "sitting tight" and aaytng Utile. In tha 12 days that the conference haa been tn progress only one definite announcement concerning ' Japan's attitude on specific Chinese problems baa bear forthcoming. This waa In relation aa to what really con atltutea tha China of today. . Baron Kato aald that Japan consid ered Manchuria aa a Chinese province deaptte .Japan's strongly Intrenched po sition there. Baron Kato himself would not ba ao expllcltc1mcerning Mongolia, although M. Hanisara. the Japanese vice-minister of foreign affair, who has taken the place of Baron Fhidehara, de clared that Japan ' considers Mongolia also a part of China proper. . Tha Chinese are distinctly disappoint ed tn tha way things are going. So far they have won but one small con cession permission to increase their tariff rata from tha antiquated i per cent ad valorem to 12 per cent, This, will add some J5fl.000.000 to Chinas annual revenues, which la only a drop In tha bucket compared with China's need and her indebtedness. 9AYAL EXPERTS AT WOBK While the powers are thus embroiled In China' affairs tha naval experts are continuing their deliberation on the American naval program, also tn se cret. While there haa -come ao official Indication of the way tilings are going behind the closed doors of the experts' meeting room, little doubt exists but that the Hughes program will . be ac cepted by Great Britain and Japan es sentially as laid down. American opin Ion, both among tha delegates ar.d ex pert, la firm on the point, and there x i be no recession In any material way. LLOYD GEORGE'S EAFER FLATS BBIAXB'S STAKD By Cnarkt X. MeCana . London, Nov. Z. U. P.) -England I extremely disappointed that Premier Brland haa not aeon fit to substantially reduce the land armament of France, the London Chronicle Premier Lloyd George' organ undoubtedly expressing the highest British opinion, declared today. "Even considering France's bitter memories of German Invasion her armies are no more to her than our navy is to us," the Chronicle stated In a bit ter arraignment ot Brland'a platform. "We followed America' lead. Indeed we even hoped to better it But France haa refused to give or follow tn military arms limitation. Instead ah haa con fused the Issues and started awkward cross currents In tha area of peace. "We remain loyal to our naval k pro posals, but the nature of the demand makes the burden more difficult for us to bear unsupported. "As America's hopes aa well as our own are Jeopardised, we ' must point out. that Briand' policy la necessarily a bar to the realization ot a general limitation of armaments, which Britaia, hoped and still hopes, that waanington wl achieve." BRITAIN TO RESUME WORK IF AGREEMENT SOT 3IAPE London. Nov. 24. (I. N. a Unless the Waahlngton arms conference reaches a decision regarding naval lim itation within the next two weeks, Oreat Britain will resume building of battleships before Christmas, in accord ance with her tentatively abandoned program, the admiralty announced to day. Following announcement of Secretary of State Hughes' "5-5-I" relative capi tal ship limitation program for the United States, Brest Britain and Japan, the British admiralty ordered cessation ot further plans for building four super dreadnoughts of the Hood type. The temporary delay occasioned by , this action in holding up warship con struction will have no serious effect on British naval strength, admiralty of flclals pointed out. There la a firm determination by the British admiralty not to Jeopardise, the maritime strength ot England unless there is eome corresponding reduction in building plans by the United States and Japan.
