Th American funrf .iunann arovernmentB have com toned their differences over the Pacific Bsland of Yap, and are preparing to Liicn a treaty by which Japan retains (administrative control over the island land the United States secures the ca- Rile and wireless privileges there for Iwhlch she has contended since the h'aria neace, conference. f in tha same treaty. Japan's league of nations mandate over Yap and all khe other northern Pacific Islands lor snarly under German sovereignty Is fciven recognition by the United States Ion certain stipulated conditions. These (conditions include provision for free admission of missionaries ana proteo man of American Interests In the man' dated territory, and require that Japan shall reDort to the United states well as to the league on details of her administration of the mandate. The Yao cable and wireless rights, regarded as highly Important because of the Island's advantageous position In the center of the Pacifio group to the south of Japan, are accorded by the treaty to the American- and Japanese governments and nationals alike, on terms of absolute equalitq. In the ex ercise of these rights American na tionals are to be free from taxes, li censing, censorship and every iorm of discriminatory supervision, ant in ad dition are to be aided by the Japa nese government in securing needed property facilities. The Immediate value of the ar rangement to the United States lies in the ooncessions with regard to cable communication, because they Insure complete American oontrol of the ex istlng cable between Yap and Guam. Considerable Importance also Is at - tached by .American officials to the radio privileges, although It Is to be agreed In the treaty that no American ' radio station will be Installed so long as the present Japanese plant Is oper ated wltbout discriminatory exactions. ' Signatures of the convention is ex . pected within a few days, erasing one of the principal causes for controversy between Washington and Toklo and bringing to an end negotiations which have covered a period of several months.

If Called to Meet In Brussels Or Early In Year United States Will Probably Not Be Represent edForeigners Disappointed; But No Useful End Can Be Served Till Reparations Are Settled. Dtllr News sureu ind Trltfraph Offies, 23 Altw BulldiM 'Br Uuet Win) By FRANK SIMONPS. rnntrtiht. llil. Jf PtilllMobU FublM ladM.) Washington, December 12. President Harding will not call an economlo conference to meet In this city at the olose of the present gathering. If, as seems likely now, an economlo con ference is called to meet In Brussels or some other European capital early in the year the United States will not be represented unless there la a very radical change of mind. These two cir cumstances which became known to. day. constituted a very severe disap pointment to not a few of the repre sentatives of the foreign countries in this city, many of whom have recent ly expressed the hope that the United States would at least share In a Eu ropean economic discussion, which has been made inevitable by the recent German default. The American decision would seem to be based upon two factors, one for- Icn and the other domestic. It is the prevailing point of view, as I pointed out in my last Sunday article that no useful end can be served by any eco- omic conference as long as the repar ations issue remains unsettled, and there Is no American desire to under take the responsibility and the ubvlous dangers incident to bringing about a settlement. From the American official point of view, the key of the whole situation Europe at the present time, econo. mlo and political alike although the United Slates is only Interested In the economic aspect, must be sought in the reparation Issue. The idea that the watch of the world can be set to tick ing again while Great Britain and France are at loggerheads over repar ations Is held to be manifestly absurd. The United States has very great In terests at stake, these Interests rep resented by her foreign trade which continues to decline with obvious evil consequences In all directions. But the contemporary question Is: What usetul purpose ean the United States serve by participating In any conference as long as the fundamental conditions re main both unsound and unstable? Mast Settle Reparations. There la a very wide spread belief that no real progress will be made toward economic reconstruction In Eu rope or In the world until England, France and Germany can reach agree ment on the whole subject of repara tions. There Is no disguising the fact DENOUNCE NEW TREATY tf' ,i ii hi i - . . '; 'v Senator From Idaho Compares , Article 2 to the Famous Article X. A TWO-HOUR DISCUSSION t (Br Washington, Deo. 12. The senate got It first taste today ot the fight promised by several senators on the new four power Paclflo treaty. The pact was both denounced and defend ed In the course of two hour of dis cussion. . As at the opening of the long fight on the treaty of Versailles, and its league of nations covenant, practical ly all of the new quadruple treaty was read Into the congressional record In advance of formal submission. The attack today came from two lrreconcllables" In the Versailles covenant controversy. Senators Borah Republican, Idaho, and Reed, Demo crat, Missouri. Breaking the silence he had maintained since the treaty was laid before the world, Mr. Borah spoke more than an hour devoting his at tentlon to article two ot the new treaty which he compared to article ten ot the Versailles covenant. He declared that the treaty compelled the armament conference to make "real disarmament" an actuality or make the treaty-a "straight out military al liance." Mr. Borah explained that his atti tude toward the treaty would be gov erned to an extent by progress of. the conference toward "real disarmament' and settlement of Chinese questions. The work of the Washington confer ence, he said, would be "discouraging" If It adjourned without barring, by terms of the treaty, the use of sub marines, poisonous gases and other "barbarous" wetnnni nf warfare. Defense of the pact, conduct largely by Senator Poindexter, Republican, Washington, resulted In the opening of the whole question of what obligations were entailed upon the United States by the new agreement Senator Poin dexter told the senate that some seemed unduly alarmed about tbe pact and declared that article two could not be construed a the equivalent of artiole 10. . Senator Reed, breaking Into the de bate at this point said Senator Poln dexter's statement meant that the new treaty was worth little as a binding agreement. He added that If the United States was not going to ob serve Its moral obligations, such a he contended were contained In the treaty, the country would become "the laughing stock of the whole world." Mr. Horah said he regarded the mur al obligation of article twe a com. polling the use of force as strongly as did article 10 of the league and in this was supported by Senator Hob Inson, Democrat, Arkansas, who de clared that taken together articles one and two of the treaty-were -"even stronger" than article 10. Mr. Hob lnson added, however, that he was en tering no objection to the pact. "How would they oppose an aggres sive policy on the part of some na tlon," Interrupted Mr, Reed, "in event the conference of the four powers de cided they should oppose It?" "Hy force, of course," replied Mr. Robinson. Continuing, Mr. Borah said that while sponsors of the treaty declared there were no provisions to use mili tary force "lurking In or about the treaty." the moral obligation remajned. He contended that while American delegates to any conference provided for under the treaty could not legally bind the President or Congress, the obligations to carry out the decision of the conference still remained. "In tho language of Napoleon then," Senator Stanley. Democrat, Kentucky. Interrupted, "these four powers intend to have peace under the treaty even 1 they have to Bght lor it" Some Other European Capital that American expert opinion tl en thi whole far more sympathetic to the British than to the French point ot view. At the Paris conference and since the Paris conference American expert opinion, official and unofficial, has continued to believe that there was not the slightest prospect of collecting from Germany anything like the sums which were expected at Paris and ac tually named in the decisions of last May. But the United States Is not on ot the parties to reparations and has not intention of undertaking to parti cipate In a discussion which would ob viously lead to a request for Ameri can assistance, financial and otherwise, The decision not to participate In an economic conference is also strongly Influenced by the fact that Congress views with supreme suspicion every sort of proposal which Involves the United States in the European financial mess. There is pending Mow and likely to be passed soon a messure which will give the secretary ot the treasury power to fund the allied debt, but al ready discussion of the subject has dis closed the fact that the present temper on capltol hill Is totalling hostile to any concessions to Europe. Congress Intends to grant the permission which the president has asked, for the sec retary of the treasury, but it Is going to grant the permission In a very grudging spirit and It Is going to hedge the concession around with con dltiona which will make it Impossible for the secretary of the treasury to do anything more than provide a method of payment. Indeed It Is even going to insist upon a live per cent rate of Interest. Would Provoke Criticism. Such being the situation and such being the political temper tn this ooun try and no one can doubt but that the Congress at the present time Is sup ported by the mass of the American public- -It Is obviously that any execu. tive action looking to an economic con ference In Washington would provoke suspicion and Invite criticism. It might even do more. It might compromise those decisions ot the present Wash ington conference which must be re ferred to the senate and although cer tain to; encounter opposition seems now likely to get final assent . In a certain sense refusal to par ticipate In an economic conference fol lowed by rather unyielding action In the matter of the allied debts by Con. (Continued on Page Four.)

Adoption ot the resolutions followed addresses by planters, bankers and merchants, reviewing accomplishment of the cotton acreage reduction cam paign In 1921 and urging the nam re striction be adhered to In 122.

Phil potts, secretary ot the Texas bankers association; Sauk Bertig, banker, Mem phis, and W, B, Thompson, ot New Orleans. All emphasised the need of diversification and larger "food and feed" crops. --- -- Opposition to acreage limitation came from but two states, Texas and Ar kansas. The delegates from these states asked the convention not to go on record as limiting the acreage to any certain proportion of the land In cultivation during 1921. This differ ence was oompromlsed In committee by embodying In the. resolutions a provision that the proportion of the total acreage planted in cotton In 1922 should not exceed the proportion plant ed In all other crops. The resolution will be presented to tho convention for ratification to morrow. The resolutions, after stating that present oonditlons show the necessity for a continuance of the limitation of ootton acreage In 1922 and expressing fear that cotton growers will be tempt ed by present prices to disregard the rules of "safe and sane farming there by Inviting a return of the disastrous financial and economic conditions which prevailed in 1921," urged every farmer to produce the foodstuffs nec. esxary to support aU livestock on the farm, that the acreage planted to feed be based on the minimum production of a bad year and not on the maximum production of a good year; that every farmer be urged to make an Indtpen dent home living "through utilising the products of at least one cow, one sow, and two dozen hens, and by pro duclng on his farm all the (ood that anil and climatic condition will per rnlt." , .: To Insure a more widespread cam paign tor limitation ot acreage next year, delegates were named from each cotton producing state as follows) Louisiana: w. p.

RENCHITALIAN DISPUTE It In Disclosed fast Italy Wild lame naval Ratle as Allowed Franee, England Wants akmnrl Denned. (si iku rna.1 Washington, Dec. 12. New machln ry to expedite final aotlon on naval limitation agreement was set up to day by the arm conference. At the suggestion of the American group, the former committee of expert , was 'acrapped" In favor of a "eommlttee ot fifteen'' Including both plenary delegates and civil and naval experts of the five powers. Th Whole subject of naval limitations Including the cor nerstone "S-S-2" ratio was turned over to the new eommlttee to be put in final shape for the conference. Meanwhile, it became known that the Japanese delegation had received instructions from Toklo regardlnf the "D-5-1" ratio. The nature of th com munication 'was not disclosed. There were many indications, however, that It marked a long stride toward final acceptance ot this vital point In the naval limitation project. The "committee of IS" wa de sorlbed by a British spokesman as I means to "short circuit" delays un avoidable In the previous division of labor between committees of delegates and separate committees of naval ex perts. Th new' committee will be able to reach decisions as to direct recom mendatlon to th conference. Several Intermediate steps will be eliminated to sav time. No other official or semi-official explanation ot It creation was given. Japs May Have Caused It. There ware Indications, however, that the new step was baaed upon ; an in formal communication from th Jap anese delegation that Japan stood ready to accept the "S-(-l" ratio sub ject to certain modification In detail of the American proposal. It appeared likely that It would become the bull ness of the "committee of It" to write into treaty form for signature by all five powers that definite agree ment based on th "6-S-S" proposal but carried out In detail. It this prove to be the case, the new committee will seek a solution of each phase ot the naval reduotlon and limitation plan as it arlssa, framing It conclusions Into section of th proposed treaty, The pew step throw Into promi nence for the first time In the confer ence the question of the French and Italian place In th naval ratio. That must be worked out by th "commit tee ot fifteen," Spokesmen tor Italy said she was willing to atop where she Is In naval strength, provided she was allowed equality with Franc In ratio. The attitude ot th French group on thi point was not disclosed and British spokesmsn indicated that Great Britain must consider th place of th French and Italian navies as following In general th "5-1-1" ratio 'agreement between the . three other powers. Another point was particularly atresssd by ail .British spokesmen. That was the firm conviction that sub marines should be wholly abolished as naval weapons. It was asserted, how ever, that British acceptance of the "6-8-1" ratio was In no sen oondl tlonal upon such action. Oreat Britain doe hope, however, her spokesmen said, for a chanc to "atat her case to the world" as to submarine before a plenary session of the conference. Tke "Big Three Ceafer. Th) "big three" of th naval con ference, Secretary Hughes, Arthur Bal four and Admiral Baron Kato, met today and ar understood to have con. sldered the naval ratio problem but no announcement of what occurred at the meeting was made. They will con fer again tomorrow and It was regard' ed as probable that they were shap ing up th program for deliberation, ot tho "committee of fifteen" In the light of instruction Baron Kato has received from Toklo. That the Japanese communication was regarded as most favorable to complete agreement as to naval strength was apparent In both American and British circles. How long It might take to work out the details of the treaty on the aubpect no of f I clal would predict. On American not- flclal said matters seemed to b rapid ly "coming to a head." Secretary Hughea will head th American group on th committee of 16, aided by Asslstsnt Secretary Roosevelt as civilian adviser, and by a naval of fleer.
