now hell in China by foreign powers would be carefully re-examined and all existing limitations upon China's political, juridical and administrative action would be removed. Provision would also be made for future international discussions of the Far Eastern situation.
SUGGESTED PROGRAMME.
Some correspondents consider that conference action will include a Shantung settlement involving British and French withdrawal from Weihaiwei and Kwong Chau Wan, the abolition of spheres of influence, and further i development of the Consortium to ensure application of loans to purely productive purposes. Such a programme if coupled with dissolution of the Anglo-Japanese would lay heavy strain
Japan's goodwill, but Japan's attitude is favourably impressing observers and as she appears ready to make concessions in the Shantung question it is not thought likely that Mr. Hughes will follow up his disarmament proposals with a speech on China and Siberia.

It is understood that Mr. Sze vigorously urged the maintenance of the open door, also the aboli tion of secret treaties affecting China. He proposed that hereafter all such treaties between the powers should be made public.
There was no response from the Japanese delegation after China had presented her views, although general dis- cussion developed. Mr. Sze did not raise the question of the future of Shantung or the question of granting foreign concessions in China and both questions were left for later discussion.
