tions adopted in the Far Eastern com
mitee. He brought In first the reso
lution of December 12 for with

Touching on rte system of actual
scrapping of casitel ships, Mr.

gie?ted with laughter.

Every seat in the hall was ocu-
, pIed gnd man, spectators stood The
audience included cabinet of ft ials.
supreme court justices, members ot
congress and other officials. The
committee resolution providing for
withdrawal ot foreign troops from
f China also was adopted unanimously.
Mr. Hughes then announced that the
Chinese tariff resolution would be
passed over for ike present because'
of special considerations affecting It.
It would come before the conference
later, be said embodied In a customs
treaty. - - . "
The declaration of the powers tak
ing China to reduce her military
forces and the resolution for public

followed the same rapid pathway to
adoption. , '"' .
The conference then adopted , 'he
Chinese radio resolution ot December
7. with the accompanying declara
tions ot principles by the powers and
by China already made public.
That ended the string of resolu
tions and Chairman Hughes announc
ed amid applause he had been in
formed that the Shantung contro
versy "has been settled."
The chairman then read the points
ot agreement between the Japanese
and Chinese in regard to Shantung,
the substance of which previously
bad been published by the delegations
concerned. v -
Root Present Treaty. .
Mr. Root said the treaty he present
ed was a supplement to the' naval
agreement. '
"You will perceive," he sold, "that
this treaty does not' undertake to
codify international law with respect
to visit and search and - seUure of
merchant vessels. What it doe under-
I take is to state the law of nations with
respect to the visit end search ot mer.
chant vessels, and that under no cir
cumstances are submarines exempt
from such humane rules."
"Nations violating the humane
rules." Mr. Root declared, "will be
visited with punishment that means
national ruin."
Senator Schonzer followed Mr. Root
and exproesed Italy's approval of the
submarine treaty.
Senator Schanzer said Italy had
felt that its fleet of submarines for
defense only should equal that of any
other power on the Mediterranean.
He expressed the conviction that the
American program as carrlod out by
the conference would end the possi
bilities of war.
