ADOPTI TDKID TO SEND ITS DESIRE 01 NIL ISSUES Reduction Question at Dis armament Conference Awaits Information fro'm Japanese Capital. ADJOURNMENT TAKEN UNTIL WEDNESDAY j ' j j 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. ! thorA will Vr n'int nn TiritVi it n n in WT t vj tigs - ,b decision on some of th most im portant political questions on the pPrific and the Orient Maintenance of fortifications and naval bases in the Pacific is land? is another factor of increa.v ing interest to Japad'as the naval (Continued on page 2) UNEMPLOYED FORCE TO PICKET CAPITOL, RELIEF DEMANDED DETROIT.
