It was Indicated today that both the American and British experts had vir tually completed their work on de tails of the American reduction plan, and would be ready to report to the conference early next week. The Jap anese experts had no similar announce ment to make, but It was assumed they would not permit themselves to be put In the position of delaying seriously . the progress of the negotiations. mi-- ...(.1 u .

It was said auth oritatively today that In the opinion of the spokesmen of the American gov ernment all questions relating to aux iliary craft are of collateral Impor tance only, and can be settled easily once there Is an agreement on capital ships. Get Bnek to Armament, Conference officials are understood to feel that the attention of the delegates ran be diverted from the far eastern problems to the subject of naval armament .without complicating the procedure of the conference, and the American dele-ration in Dartlcular has shown a desire to get back into the naval discussions as soon as the work of the experts will-navrmlt, Tha Amer ican delegates are declared to be well satisfied with the progress made In the far eastern negotiations but Im patient to get the na,val negotiations oiit of committee for a more definite exchange of views among those who will actually have the final decision. Another of China's problems reached the point of a virtual "agreement In principle" during the day at a session of the committee of ths whole devoted to a dlscusslen of the maintenance of foreign postofflces and postal systems on Chinese soli. The delegates all agreed there should be a withdrawal of the foreign postal machinery as soon vuiluilluii. i si.., ..t sub-committee headed by Senator Lodge, of the American delegation, drew up for later formal adoption of a declaration of principles under which each of the powers would Investigate conditions for luelf and withdraw when It considered It practical to do so. Abolish Territorial Rights. The report Is to be presented to the full committee Monday, and at the same time another sub-comrhttte will pr- vent for approval a resolution declaring also for a gradual abolition of tha ex tra territorial rights in China as soon as China's judicial maohlnery will warrant the change. It Is expected that the dispatch of an International com mission of jurists to China to study tl.e situation will be recommended In the sub-committee report and agreed to by the conference. In the discussion of tha postal que tlon today, ths delegates ot Japan are understood to have expressed serious doubt whether the present postal fa cllltles of the Chinese government would fully meet the demands made upon' them should the foreign system withdraw. It was also said to have been suggested by some delegates that , tha Peking government might find difficulty In enforcing reforms which might be agreed to here, In view of the unsettled state of tha Internal af fairs of China. Tha virtual deo'sion to leave withdrawal to the discretion ot each Individual power was the re sult. Although no formal mention of It was made In the committee meeting, President Harding's suggestion for a continuance of the conference plan In International relationships was i question of absorbing Interest in prlv ate conversations between delegates. Pew of the delegates would com ment on It publicly, and tha only bint as to the possible attitude of the oth er nations came from M. VIviani. head of the French delegations, who en domed the suggestion, saying It was not only "a high thought," but a prac tlcal one, and from a British spokes man who declared that an "assocla tlon of nations" must be approached (Continued on Page 11, Second Section.)

(CeprrliM, 1931. br Fbllutelptils holle Utor.) Washington, Nov. 26. Foreign repre sentatives her are cautious about dis cussing President Harding's sugges tion that an association of nations will grow out of the present conference. They shrink from the expression . ot opinions because ftiey are aware ot the part which the United States senate played tn wrecking President Wilson's plan of International co-operation. And thav know too little of our constitu tional system, to feel sure that the loose Plan Mr. Harding suggests would not have to come before Congress for approval. All that Mr. Harding has In mind apparently Is that thia conference will necessarily be followed by other sim ilar meetings. The holding of fre quent conferences necessarily draws the nations of the world together In an Indefinite organization which may be called an association. Mr. Hughes, has always had the In tention of settling at the present con ference questions that lay upon the surface tn the far east and leaving other and more difficult Issues for sub sequent adjustment. This necessarily involved other and later far eastern conferences. He was aware that Ja pan, for the sake of Improving her relation with this -country and. with China, was ready to make certain con cessions. He -gives her the opportun ity to make those concessions, that is an. China stumbling Block. There remains China. It will be slow process for China to get upon her reel. umicult questions will arise Hence the need for future conferences. Commissions will be appointed to pass upon various elements of the Chinese problem. They will havo to report to somebody, presumably to future con ferences. Land disarmament will also nave lo oe acted upon in a year or two, th occasion for another conference. One may call this loose a-ettinr tn. gether of tho nations of the world for specino purposes an association of na tions. It will be one for all srantleai purposes. It will not have a consti tution or covenant. But In effect It will do about all that Mr wit..-. laagu of nation would hav don to promote mutual understanding and Co- uj'erauon. It i 111 not guarantee tha ri.icnri.i lntegr W of countries, or rather It will . r't io guarantee nations from attack i Ad spoliation, though in tlce ma guarantee some nations, as ..,.,i uaeiy lo Be reached with regard to China will show.

Ha has made It possible for the United states to take Its place beside th other "great nations of the earth. Formally and technically, what will spring from this conference will not be a league of nation. Practically n win accomplish all th- good that such a league would hav pllshed. Bad Foreign Taste. - It was Mr. Wilson's misfortune that th Pari conferenca urt k.j ..... In the rriuth of the American people. If this wa a sample of what inn .mo tional gatherings were w want none of mem. ii wa nard to sell to the American people intern nttonnl ...nn. eratlon after what happened at Paris. Mr, Harding and Mr. Hughes had to tart from the beginning and show that this country had a legitimate place n wona atiairs and that It could take that place with advantage to Itself. In the supreme council and in this Washington oonferenoe thv done so. Of Mr. Harding's loosely constructed association of nations th sunrema council promises to be the continuously functioning and most effective part This provide for the frequent confer ence or me rive great powers of the world. In effect It Is Mr, Wilson's league council, possessed of a freedom and scope of action which th league council had not.

A desire to avoid as far as possible th stirring up of animosities among th allies, thereby affecting the atmosphere at the Wash ington conference, 1 reflected In th tempered comment on Lord Curson'e speech Thursday night In which h criticised France for her land arm ment position and her treaty with An gora and the Turk. Had the Washington conference not been on, Iord Curson would hav been far less generous with France, par ticularly on the near eastern matter on which British offlclala feel keenly. The comment also shows how the deep rooted demand for disarmament has taken hold In the British press. Friend and foe of Lord Cunon emphasis the neoesslty of reducing armaments to th minimum but they ar at variance on what the minimum should be, In considering France's relations with Germany. Newspapers friendly to th govern ment reiterate and praise the foreign minister statement that France I safer behind the' security of world conscience than behind a huge army, but others express sympathy for France's fear of future trouble, If she Is not protected by something more than world, conscience, While there are differences of opin ion o;i this question, the British are disappointed over two event that th head of the French delegation Is leav ing Washington so soon after his pronouncement of the French posi tion ; and also his reported allusion to British capital ships probably be ing wanted by Great Britain to chase sardines and, If So, Franc would want submarines to explore the ocean bot tom. They hope M. Briand did not make the statement Just that way but there Is no denial forthcoming. While there la some Interest here In the report that th French premier may atop In London on route to Franoe and to confer with Lloyd George, there Is much more Interest In the fact thai Great Britain will demand a meeting of the supreme council as soon as the Washington conference Is out of the way. In Downing street and Whitehall to day there was more than usual reti cence In discussing the latest differ ence with Franc, the whole uttne pher reflecting a desire not to say anything that mltrht in any way hinder progress at Washington; but there Is no mistaking the attitude that when th conference there end there will be a very thorough threshing out of near eastern matters. Evidence of the effort of London newspapers to avoid International dif ficulties Is strikingly put forward to day. One of the best known writers In the world Is sending a dally article from Washington to one of London's most plain spoken papers. In one ar ticle he spoke very disparagingly of France's attitude at the conference whereupon the editor of th paper In structed him to cease such tactics. Th writer declined to be influenced, whereupon th paper today published tbe cable axohanged regarding th tenor of the . articleiu lpse,tnr wlchi "tides Showing whers paragrapha had been eliminated. While thlseper Is generally friend ly to France. It has not failed In the past to criticise that country when it felt the situation Justified, TWO MEN KILLED WHEN ENGINE'S BOILER BURSTS Engineer H.

In U HcClort Nrvnivar BndlutO Washington, Nov. 28, Two facts dominate the history of th second week of th Washington oonfarence. namely, th Anglo-French row. which was not unexpected, and Prealdsnt Harding' comment Friday on tha pos sible broadening ot the scop of the conference Itself, which 1 In reality the most striking single olroumstance since Mr. Hughes' opening speech. As to tne Anglo-French .row, everybody has already taken Ita measure and It may now be dismissed so far as It ha American significance. On th other hand, the President's startling proposal may lead to a revision of all estimates alike of time and results, so far as the conference Is concerned. Between th President' later pro posal and Mr. Hughes' opening pros pectus It la obvious that there Is a very wide difference. Under Mr Hughes' impulse the conference has been working on th subject of the limitation ot armaments, with th Idea that speclflo and definite agreement here would be the main contribution of the gathering, and since this ob jective wa simple and restricted ther has been an expectation that Christ mas would so th work don and th delegate gone. Takes la New Aspect. As It now stands, however, there seems every reason to bellev that th conference, will take on a new aspect more thoroughly reuiinscent of Paris and that wo may have a very consld erabte measure of Kuropean affairs Brought In. One of the most Im mediate of th possibilities Is that Mr, Lloyd George may, alt or all, find reason to come here and an opportunity commensurate with his political neces sities. Huch an opportunity has been lacking ever since ths first day of the conference because ther has been no place where he could be put In ap propriately. Indeed, aside from M. Brl and's one night stand, th Washington conferenca has bad a single character and that has been Mr, Hughes. The President's suggestion come a a profound lurprlse. It opens horlsons far more considerable than any one had xpected would be explored, and tt may be many days before w can see what boundarle are actually te be sot to what .may, wtetly become a totally dlt- ferent sort of international gatheriug from that which ha bean desarlbed and expeoted In very recent days. Up to th present moment the Wash ington conference has resolutely set Itself against any Intermingling In Eu ropean affairs, It has successfully re sisted a number of British, French and Italian attempts to Interest the Uni ted State In European problems. The result haa been a profound disappoint ment to every European, although this disappointment find little expression in the public press either at home or abroad. Moreover, even In the case of Asia, th United State haa, to a sur prising extent, avoided assuming a leadership which would carry with It a similar assumption of responsibilities. If now, however, this Washington conference la to be transformed, as seems at least possible following Presi dent Harding's suggestion . of yester day, we ar bound to have Lloyd George eome her to reopen th Bru sh case against Franc politically on the continent; w ar certain to have Germany com to her to ask the Uni ted Slates to act as arbiter between Germany and her conquerors. Indeed, save tor Kussla, which Is specifically listed as uninvited by President Hard ing, It Is difficult to see why anybody In Europe should stay away. In addition, the question of the league of nations seems likely to be come pertinent again. The Washington gathering could hardly tall to be a rival of th Geneva association. Com petition between th two organisations might easily follow, and tt is not Im possible that members ot the older one might expect Inducements to persuade them to transfer their allegiance. It la true that ther remains a very great lack of clarity In the Washing ton mind as to exaotly what the Prealdsnt himself was thinking of when he reverted to nil familiar loulc ot an association of nations. The first impression was and still lingers that he had deliberately transformed the whole character of the present gath ering. When M. Brland went home there wa a general feeling that wa wer seeing ths beginning of the end that tha first dinner guest was going and the end ot the party In sight The oonferenca as outlined by Mr. Hughes in his opening speech was ooviouaiy reaching It term. Now Washington is again frankly at sea and is awaiting Hgerly clarification and explanation.

Cur son's speech ha made her a. sharp sensation. Th contrast between th text wlrd to th papars with th re cent speech of Mr. Balfour I so striking that most people ar asking themselves whether th attitude of th British government toward Franc has not been modified as a result of a new and hitherto unknown fact. In this respect and before tough ing upon the main question, It 1 neo essary to deal with two point In directly raised by Lord Curson. One might first wonder whether his speech doe not reveal on th part of th British government their Inten tion ot raising again before th con- fereno the question ot land arma menls, I hav reason to think neith er Mr. Halfour nor Mr. Hughea would give their consent to such a belated Initiative after the decision reach ed In full agreement with M. Brland. It Is not, therefore, to be feared that the French delegation will In thl re spect be placed In an embarrassing position. t'ritle Utilise Rumor. Lord Curson leems, according to th version of his speech published here, to have given the Bupporf of hi auth ority 'to certain ot the ruinora which, are belhtf upread concerning tbe sup-i posed naval demands of Franoe. These rumor ar being utilised by critics In order to prov that Franc Is engaged In the process of wrecking th Hughes naval program. On must, therefore, repeat onoe more that In no caae will France, b In th way of th naval agreement being at present prepared. When the moment will have come, she will araaaat hnr ul-ura mnA ,in mor particularly recall that one ought to take in account th fact that' her arsenals hav been engaged dur-, Ing th war In making munitions for th allied land armies. Sh will, how ever, exhibit In this field no uncom promising )lrlt and should th naval agreement fall to b ultimately ar rived at It would In no case b her fault. When this haa been said, n can not but point lo the singular and unexpected optical mistake which seems to prevent Lord Curson from, understanding tha part played by France In the conference on th ques tion of land armaments. Lord Curson seemed Indeed to for get that a aeanlnatlng circumstance of th present tltn I not the fact that America ha finally mad It clear ah will not ratify th trl-partlt agree ment. What dominates the situation Is really that England.' who during the war was Francs' closest ally, avails herself of the American abstention In order to drop the trl-partlt agree ment In her turn. In Wednesday's sit-' ting, Mr, Balfour has, of oourse, de clared that should America go back to the treaty of guarantee K.ngland would consider herself as bound. It Is obvious, however, that such a condi tion never will be fulfilled. The Brit ish empire Is In fact withdrawing It self from th treaty of guarante which, had been extended to France, Such la the truth which France has to face,' "Understanding" of Little Vain. Th conscquenco of this cardinal political fact Is only too clear. N doubt the understanding with England keeps its entire value fur France aa a basis of co-operation In all the ques tions of the present time and as the starting point ot a possible alliance In th future. Such a more understanding to enter Into the calculations of France when she has to think ot her security and more precisely of her land armv menis, m. iirianu has stated and re slated bore aa distinctly km possible that on the day when a guarantee in proper form would bo given to Francs, land disarmament would become an immediate poHslhillty. It Is, however, difficult to consider a guarantee nf such a nature ia being given by the appeal tu the world's conaolenue Just made by Lord Curston. To apeak the truth, the attitude of Lord Cunon Is the more surprising that nohodtf In hnttnr litfnrm.il than he of the necessities of continental policy.
