ITALY VOTES AGAINST
DECLARATION
Brussels, Nov. 15.
The Far Eastern conference adopted the draft declaration which places the blame for the present Sino-Japanese conflict on Japan. Italy voted against, and Norway, Sweden and Denmark abstained, after they had explained that they were not opposed to the declara- tion itself, but did not wish to vote on it. The Italian delegate stated that the declaration did not tend to facilitate mediation.
The conference adjourned until 3 p.m. on November 22. " The Swedish delegate regretted the failure of the conference to find a solution to the problem, and added that Sweden accepted in principle the terms of the draft declaration, but since they had not many interests in the Far East compared with some of the other Powers, they abstained from voting.
The Norwegian delegate spoke in similar terms, and the chief de- legate for Denmark, after deptor- ing that mediation had not met with success, said that Denmark also thought it better to abstain, although she was fully in accord with the principles underlying the declaration. "

The orginal draft declaration was apparently prepared by the United States delegation and apart-from-Italy, there is generale agreement among the delegates that its terms admirably express the considered views of the Powers represented at the Brussels con- ference.
