DISCUSSION OF
PACIFIC PROBLEM
"Japs Fear Talking Over Far
East Problems; Would Make
Settlement More Difficult.
PREMIER'S STATEMENT
CONFINED TO DISARMAMENT
Believes Question Has no More
Place; in Coming Conference!
Than Mexican Situation.
WASHINGTON', July 16. (A. L.
Bradford) V. P. Staff Correspondent. )
Japan accepts the Invltutlon to the
"disarmament conference," withhold
ing her consent to participate In dis
cusdrons of a speclflcTjticstrorn sueh as
the far east, from a standpoint . of
broad ventral prlnclplcr. She Is will
ing to discuss things generally, but not
particularly.
1'remlor Haras' statement to tho
Vultcd Press carefully avoided uny
mention of the l'aclflc discussion, con
fining Itself to the congratulate prin
ciples of disarmament. It is known
, uow that Japan opposes taking the
Paciflo problem Into the nation's con- j
fab. Jaoan s position Is mat sue
fearful of discussing the Fur F.usl
prpblem wlthi five nation because It
wduld make these questions more dif
ficult of settlement; because of the
"special" far east situation, Japan be
lieves the discussions of the Pacific
questions have no more place in the
coming conference thun questions be
tween the United fUUes and Mexico
und other t-ftlhVAmericnfi countries.
Japan also fears the Chinese position
with regard to Shantung.
Mneretnrv Hughes told Ambassador
ttrndeharu, thore would be discussions
belweeu.trte luiltow to-reuJl an agree
ment on the subjects the conference
emtnldofs. Japan must first accept or
reject the proposed' Pacific discussion
In tho principle before an agenda cou
fcronce.ls decided upon.
Politicians Aro I iiscnsy
TOKIO, July 16. t Henry W. Kin
ney, U. Stuff Corre-pondunt. The,
Japanese foreign office declared n
favorable answer to President Hard
ing' conference Invitation and for
warded It to Washington. The Japan
ese press and politicians, however, are
uneasy because the invitation was ex
tended also to China. Ituly and France.
They feel tho scope of the conference
Is too broad, as It Includes all the
Paclfio problems. They believe here
tha other powers will support the
American view on Pacific matters und
believe Japan should proceed cautious
ly. Some characterise America's stand
on disarmament Inconsistent, because
of her altitude toward the league of
t:4 tons.
PARIS. July 16. (1. K. 8.) The
French foreign office sent notes to
London and Homo saying it would be
Impossible for the supremo council to
meet to d.'scuss the Upper Silcsian
question until complete order had
boon restored In Silesia.
President. Harding's disarmament
move Is highly praised by members of
the commission. The speakers united
in lauding tho Initiative of the Ameri
can executive In his attempt to eml
wars.
