Insur ance of crops as a method of stabilizing prices of farm products is expected to be one of many sug gestions put forward at the nation al agricultural conference which opens here January 23, for inclu sion in a permanent national tar iff policy.

' WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. ( By the Associated Press.) If , the Shantung conversations mak the progress hoped for by the confer ence leaders during th next two or three days, the end ot the com ing week may see all ot the Issues raised in the Washington negotia tions well on the way toward so lution. Confidence that tho Shan tung problem is ncarlng a settle ment was apparent in most quar ters tonight, the delegates feeling that with th other far eastern questions In abeyance the separate exchanges between ths Chinese and Japanese over the former German leasehold woutd be pressed forward rapidly. ' Neither of the two groups directly Interested waa prepared to say , that an ' agreement was in sight, but they evidenced a hope that fresh Instructions fromToklo and Peking, expected hourly, might help materially to clear tip the situation.-,, -1 ,'. ;. , Aa soon as Shantung Is out of the way, and -perhaps sooner, the conference far - eastern committee will resume) Its) consideration - of other problems of the orient, with all the delegates In a position to present their views quickly so that the DegotlaUnns here will not be excessively prolonged. On most of the remaining Issues the delega tions already, have informed them selves thoroughly regarding the views of other groups and the pros- Sect ji or an agreement. : ,.

Settlement of the Shantung ques tion still rests. largely In the hands of -Arthur J. Balfour- and Secre tary Hughes, in , the opinion of Chinese spokesmen. Both the Chi nese and Japanese delegations to night? were waiting Instructions from their governments as to the' attitude they must take on tha Hughes-Balfour compromise sug. gcatlona designed to afford a bias of agreement on both of the phases of th problem which up to now have seemed unsolvable. Thesn - phases touch, upon the method of payment for the Tslntao-Tsinanfu railroad and tha nationality ot the men who wilt hold the positional of traffic manager and chief account ant for tha railroad after its trans- , fee. ' ... Whether' the Japanese and Chi nese delegates can get together this w8ek be. ,l9P''lnt " the nature of th instructions? to their respective delegations , from tho Peking - and Toklo govern ments.

" . The Chines government, how ever, It is understood, has notified " Its delegation of the difficulty ot compromising on either question. . The Balfour-Hughes compromise suggestion ara said to be baaed on various combinations of these two questions In a form that might permit either the Japanese or Chi nese, to give In on on and retain the other, or might allow China, by sacrificing th chief accountancy position, to obtain a concession for payment in cash or Install ments for tha road, at ths same time assuring Chinese control over the road through a Chinese traffio manager.. .

"hops without optimism" that ths Shantung question will be settled through tha Japanese giving In en the railway phase ot the dispute, In no other way, the Chines say, can a settlement satisfactory to. the Chinese people be reached. There Is no Inollnation. it was said by the ChiMse, to accept a compromise concerning the question of a loan, and China could not agree to any settlement which Would not assure China undivided physical control of the railway. The Chinese delega tion, it was asserted, would "stand pat", on the question of manage ment and would Insist on a Chinese traffic chief and accountant. Th Chines declare they are not in' the position to recede on lb question of the 'principle Involved and that there is nothing for them to do but wait and hon that Mr.? Balfour and Secretary Hughes will be able to effect a settlement through the Japanese. Both Mr. Hughes and Mr. Balfour, one Chi nese official said , tonight, under stood 'the difficulties the Chinese face In the existing situation-at home, with ths Chines' people on , tho verge of domestic turmoil over the Shantung delay. .
