As Insisting On Considera

Between China and Japan
Japan Agrees to Withdraw
From Siberia.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 23. (By Aaao
elated Press.) Secretary Hughe waa
understood to hare informed the Kar
Eastern committee of tha Washington
conference at Its session today that
tbe question of the Japanese 21 de
mands, abrogation of which haa been
asked by China, would be taken up aa
soon as a settlement la reached la the
Shantung controversy. .
WASHINGTON. Jan. 23. (By Aeao- ,
Hated Press.) A statement declaring
that Japan had no territorial deaUma
in Russia and giving aaauraace that
Japanese troops would be withdraws
aa soon aa a stable government had
been established there, was mads to
day by the Japanese delegation at thai
meeting of tbe Far Eastern committee.
The Japanese statement was . pre
sented fey Baron Shidehara, After .
hearing hla statement on Siberia, the) .
committee proceeded with the que- ,
tlon of the status of existing treaties.
Full discussion was deferred, how
ever, pending presentation by China ot
a full list, which she waa asked by the
committee to make.

Russian territorial asbltlo&s were said

Deny China Arm
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. (By Asso
ciated Press.) 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 .
