WASHINGTON, Not. 22 (Awociated Prcas)-The jiegotlatlons re latins to both the far east, and armament limitation moved more slowly today as tb attention of the arms delegates pa&sed from general policies to specific details. Chita's economic embarrassments formed the next of the far eastern, dscussions which resulted in the appointment of a sab eommttee of repre sentatives of nine natons to consider the whole subject of administrative autonomy for the Chnese republic withe particular refesenie to tariff fcnd tax restrictions. x The land armament problem also was considered at ivarloua Informal conferences during the day and a meeting of the armament committee of the whole was called for tomorrow wirh the expectation that Premier Bri and. of France, would say a last word as to his country's attitude on the reduction of armies. It is understood that he is anxious to bring the ques ton to a point of a formal expressonby the conference before his passap.' for France.
