As one mean of giv ing effect to its declaration last week in favor of reduction ot the Chinese army, the arme conference ia consider ina; another resolution looking to pro hibition of the importation of arm into China. . The proposition emanated from the American delegation which went into today's meeting of the Far Eastern conference prepared to present it fully. The aub-comtuittee on the Chi nese Eastern railway also had a report ' ready for consideration today, and K waa indicated that both of these pro posal would be disposed of before tha committee turned its attention . to Siberia, the next subject on the Far Eastern agenda. . , - The Chinese Eastern resolution was understood to recommend continuance of the present Inter-allied control ot the road until more stable conditions are restored In Russia, into whose . territory the road crosses from Man churia. , . The arms prohibition plan was be lieved acceptable to most of the dele gations ot the powers, and it was indl cated also that the Chinese heartily supported the preceding resolution re garding reduction ot China's army. At the time of the settlement ot the Boxer difficulties many years Ago one ot the conditions imposed upon China by the power was that further Im portation of firearms into China would be prohibited. This provision, however is said to have been "more honored In the breach than in the observance," though from time to time, mainly at the . instance of Japan,' attention has been called to the facility with which various brigands and factional band in China were able to secure the latest firearms from abroad. 1 .
