SUB-COMMITTEE TO BE JAPAN TEACHES WINDSORS' TRIP
"APPOINTED
Brussels Conference Goes One Stage Ahead
Brussels, Nov. 4.
When the Conference adjourned at 5 p.m. it was learnt that it had accepted, in principle. the proposal to appoint a small sub- committee to draft a reply to, Japan. to investigate the possibili- ties of Japanese co-operation and eventually to offer its good offices as mediator between China and Japan.
In the afternoon session the President "drew attention to the Japanese reply and pointed out that while It, recognised the Nine Power Treaty. It raised certain points which might suitably be discussed.
Mr. Norman Davis suggested the appointment of a sub-committee with the view to securing Japan's collaboration. Messrs. Anthony Eden and Delbos supported Mr. Davis and suggested that the sub- committee might also offer its good offices towards a settlement of the conflict.

to the original Invitation.
NOT TOO LARGE
It is understood that two points will be emphasised. Firstly, the Conference is not a emanation from the League of Nations and secondly, it is not too large as the Japanese suggest, because all the nations represented have a big interest in the Far East.
The appointment of a sub-com- mittee will entall a brief interrup- tion in the work of the Confer- ence and Mr. Eden and M. Delbossible to resume the full meetings
will probably return to their re- spective homes to-morrow.
MEETING POSTPONED The meeting of the full com- mittee scheduled for 6 p.m. has been postponed until 10.30 am. to- morrow. It was to deal with the number of the composition of the sub-committee and the adjourn ment seems to imply that there. will be some difficulty in agreeing -to the composition.
While Belgium, Great Britain and the United States naturally will be members of the sub-com- mittee there were reasons to be- lieve that Italy would insist on a place if France was elected, hence the adjournment to enable the
