RELUCTANCE OF JAPAN TTO AGREE TO PLAN TO DISARM CAUSES STUDY Initial Results of Proposals Give V American Officials Hope for Acquiesceence -r IMPORTANT OBJECT Opinion ;.of American Officials: Based on Common Under standing of Nations "WASHINGTON, July 15. (By Associ ated Press.) Japan's reluctance to take part in an unrestricted discussion of far eastern affairs at the disarma ment conference ed the United States to set forth anew today its idea of the probable scoje of the' proposed nego-? tiations. Details of the latest American rep resentations to tne xokio government 1 were not disclosed, but thty are held by officials here to be sufficiently defi nite to" permit of a cdmpreheftsive re consideration of the whole subject by Japanese statesmen. American' " officials-look., forward :to the result; wiUv entire confidence. . T - , -;.-r - Although holding to its firm belief that far eastern and Pacific problems are linked closely -with any effort-to reduce; armaments, the position of this government is understood to be that the important object after all, is to get the powers together around a coun cIKtable where each is willing to speak and' act in entire frankness in the in terest, of good understanding. The feeling here is that once that object has been attained an agreement easily will be reached as to subjects of dis cussion provided,- none of the powers ties its own hands before the confer ence begins. -' ; There is reasofi to believe that Amer ican - official, who stand in the ca pacity of hosts to the conference have no idea of dictating in advance Just what subjects shall be considered. At th same time there is manifest here a belief when the moment of decision comes, that ho nation will care'to take on its shoulders the responsibility for refusing to discuss any question which seems vital to the peace of the world. All of these considerations, the of ficials here believe, will make for full Japanese participation In the confer ence when the sentiments and, lnten- Ltions of " the American government are fully understood In tokio. x nose in charge- of the negotiations are so con fident of an agreement that the purpose to proceed with the issuance of formal invitations was reaffirmed after the Whole question had been reviewed at today's cabinet meetings e fY- an the nresent plans of the orr.initration tro, these invitations- will be extended only to the powers originally approached on the subject. Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan and China It was indicated today that although there was , no disposition t exclude any nation, which might feel itself entitled to a seat, - It was felt that If the list were extended it Tajlgnt be difficult to. set a limit, with the re sult that the negotiations would be come so complicated as to endanger the outcome, - , RAINBOW DIVISION vfetteRANS RESENT HARVEY STATEMENT CLEVELAND.

July 15. -(By , Associate Press.) Two more important ' conter ences were held today in the , efforts by the prime minister, Mr.' Lloyd George and the leaders of southern and ndrth- t ern Ireland to lay th foundation of a meeting of the leaders of the two countries to endeavor to reach a solu tion of the Irish problem. The' first conference was between Mr. Lloyd George and Eamonn da Valera- the Irish Republican leader, and the second between Mr.; Lloyd George and Sir James . Craig, premier of Ulster. No ' of ftcial information as to the results - attained, by the con ferences was Issued, but it may be said that the preliminary negotiations are shaping better fhor any one could have dared to hope a week ago. No hitch thus far has occurred. Mr. de Valera wiir meet Mr. Lloyd George again on Monday, while Sir James has -summoned members of his cabinet to London, which woud ap-" ' pear to Indicate that some suggestion worthy of consideration by the Ulster government has come- to light. Finally, it is said by.i those in clos touch with the negotiations, that thare is every prospect that the" proposed conference of Mr. Lloyd George Mr. do Valera and Sir James will material ize early next week. When the. Ulster premier left Down ing' street at 5:30 o'clock this after noon Mh. Lloyd George had had font hours of man to mah" discussiqn with Mr. de Valera and two hours' and a half with Sir James. There is rea son to believe that at the termination of these Intimate talks there was little Of the viewpoints of the three leaders, the handicaps, with, which they are fet tered, and the lines over which they would not or dare not . step, which had hot been made perfectly clear to the others. Each also was cognizant of what failure ultimately to compo4a these divergent views would mean, and was. fully aliveto the possibilities with which they were burdened.- ' Ffom the sequence of developments those who. have closely followed the meetings lnfeed that the storm cent er "had. shifted ioth-sJtstermaii's camp. It is intimated' In -iVriwWr Uitottn"-:. quarter that Sir James now is face to- face with, the definite alternatives arrived at in the Lloyd George-de Va- lera interchanges of yesterday and to day. The same information expressed belief 'that these are not regarded as utterly impossible by Sir James, but that they Involve concessions which the Ulster leader is unwilling to pledjrre on his own responsibility. Only at the headquarters of Mr. de Valera was there perceptible a lessen ing of the tension tonight. Here a statement was given to The Associate'! Press by one in a position to get an authoritative new view of the situa tion, as .. seen by Irish' delegates. It reads: "The present discussions are design ed" to find, if possible, suitable ground for holding a useful conference one that might legitimately be termed a peace conference. "So far as the Dail Eiraenn's repre sentatives are concerned what Sir James Craig, says, to Premier Lloyd George is of no moment. Mr. de Valera invited representatives of the Irish minorities to confer with him in Duo lin. Sir James failed to appear, al though he previously had talked with the president. The southern unionists did' appear and expressed their view. "Mr. de Valera considers the party of Sir James Craig thus was repre sented, because the- southern national ists consider the southern and north ern unionists of the same classification' and the same policy. "By his failure to . appear, Mr. de Valera considered Sir James forfeited whatever rights he might have claimed to being an element in' the situation as between England and Ireland in other words it is with Mir, de Valera he ul timately will have to deal. Only In Irish internal politics does Sir James, in Mr. de Valera's mind, continue to be a factor." - .'
