fX Japan Repeats Offer
When the question of removal

France offered to relinquish her
leased territory of Kiao Chow
providing similar concessions
would be made by other powers.
Japan followed with reiteration
of an offer to relinquish her
leased territory In Shantung and
Great , Britain Joined with a pro
posal to relinquish British leased
territory of Wei-Hai-Wei
, All offers except that of Ja
pan concerning Klao-Chow were
conditional on cessions of leased
territory by the other powers and
also on performance by China of
certain conditions, which dele
'gates-declared probably would be
met. i 'Japan, Mr. Hanihard said,
stood on her former offers to give
up Klao-Chow on the basis of her
position outlined In her notes to
Peking.
V Objections Heard
Objections were presented by
Japan to relinquishment 'of her
leased territory in South. Man
churia and by Great Britain to
release of Kal-Low, ; opposite
Hongkong. British representa

an Important factor In protection
of Hong Kong and insuring its re

was concerned, Mr. Hanlhara said,

yesterday elected by the state

Disarmament Not Enough
Avers Samuel Gompers
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. (By
The Associated Press) Samuel
Gompers, discussing the arms con
ference In a statement tonight, de
clared a naval agreement wouM
be a "magnificent achievement."
but if the conference stops there
it cannot be said to have succeed
ed. Mr. Gompers said that "every
person who sincerely looks for an
end of wars must hope with deep
est fervor that the conference will
go beyond naval limitation and
strike hard and true at the causes
of war."
To destroy 66 ships and to fail
on the Far Eastern and Pacific
problem," he asserted, "would be
a transient victory in the shadow
of disaster. The conference must
go on to the deeper questions."

Foreign Delegates Are AnX-'
ious to Witness Conven
ing of Congress
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 fl'.y
The Associated Press) Naval ra
tio negotiations, apparently
at their most favorable
stage since the arms conference
began, waited on Tokio today
while representatives of Great
BritainJapan and France were
coming together in a conditional i
agreement for withdrawal from j
portions oi tneir leased territory
in China.
Outward developments contrib
uted nothing to the status of the
naval discussions but the impres
sion STew that the American,
British and Japanese governments
were considering in provisional
torm an agreement that not only
Would include acceptance of the
American 5-5-3 ratio but would
have to do also with Pacific for
tifications ar.d some political pro
blems of the Far East.
Japs Move Cautiously
Definite action, however, will
have to await several days while
Japanese delegates feel out the
attitude of their home govern
ment toward the newest phase or
the negotiations as it shapes up
from last night's conference De
tween heads of the American,
British and Japanese delegations.
In the Far Eastern negotiations
developments centering about the
Chinese leases were of so pro
nounced a character as to be re
garded generally as ranking am
ong the most important of the
conference.
Tonight the conference after
three weeks of continuous work,
went into recess until Wednesday.
Many delegates, it was said, had
important personal affairs and
most of them wanted to be pres
ent Monday and Tuesday at the-f
opening of congress.
Balfour to Xcw York
The Interim also will permit
the Japanese to advise themselves
as to the attitude of Tokio and
will make it possible for Arthur
J. Balfour and other members of
the British delegation to fulfill
engagements in New York.
In all the major delegations
confidence apparently was in
creasing tonight that the response
from Tokio would be favorable
and that a more definite basis oi
negotiation would develop after
the reassembling of the delegates.
They have no thought that a final
agreement will be possible in the
immediate future, however, t)e
cause many details remain to be
determined.
Alliance Importance Grows
Of growing prominence anion?
the side issues of the naval pro
blem is the Anglo-Japanese alli
ance. That is a subject which the
i vtrituh
Japanese and Americans
will refer to guardedly but there
have been many bints that both
Great Britain ard Japan would
prefer to have the United States
a party to any continuance of thf
treaty or even would be willing
to make a new agreement by
which the three would unite to
preserve peace in the Far East.
The crux of the whole question
lies in the fact that American del
egation is opposed to entering any
such agreement if it is to be re
garded as in any sense an alliance
and that Japan, on the other hand
is reluctant to substitute for the
Anglo-Saxon treaty any agree
ment whose terms would seem to
leave her in a weaker situation.
A system of arbitration treaties
has been suggested, but there is
not authoritative information a?
to how nearly satisfactory that so
lution might be to either the
United States or Japan.
May Include France
It is taken for granted that
should a regional agreement or
set of cross treaties develop,
France would be included.
All of these considerations are
regarded by Japan as integral
i parts of her program of national
security and while it is considered
possible that a final agreement as
I to naval ratio can be reached.
