THE WASHINGTON CONFERENCE.
Londen, Nov. 11.
Baron Kato said Japan was deeply appreciative of the American plan and could not remain unmoved by the high aims actuating the project. It would be universally admitted that a nation must be provided with such armaments as were essential to her security. This requirament must be fully weighed in the examination of the plan. With this view certain modifications would be proposed. Japan's existing plan would conclusively show she never contemplat- ed preparation for offensive war. The greatest interest-centred upon Baron Kato's speech. Although the Japanese delegation had express- ed informally general approval of the proposals, it was believed that the Japanese were uneasy over their far reaching nature and the relief was correspondingly great as Baron Kato in dignified tones announced Japan's wholehearted adherence.
Washington, Nov. 16.
Mr. Hughes wound up the debate, thanking representatives of the Powers for their cordial speeches and declaring that the time had arrived to proceed with the consideration of the details of the whole question which could now be studied with the assurance that the out- come of the Conference would be an appropriate agreement ending offensive naval warfare. Late in the afternoon the delegates of five of the leading Powers went into committee in order to disenss Mr.

Hughes proposals.
The Armament Limitation Committee decided to appaint a Commission of Admirals to present a detailed report on Mr. Hughes' plan. The American Theodore Roosevelt will preside and the Admirals will be Beatty. De Bon, Kato and Actont the last named being the Italian Admiral.

BANQUE INDUSTRIELLE DE CHINE.
Faris, Nov. 16
A semi-ficial message states that M. Doamer, Minister of Finance, addressed the Finance and Foreign Affairs Committees on the subject of the Industrial Bank of China. Referring to the aug- gestion that the instalments of the Boxer Indemnity still owing to France might be utilised in order to save the Bank he declared that they were unable to act in M. Briand's absence. The committee therefore decided to adjourn. M. Marsal, the Finance Minister in the Leygnes Cabinet, declared he was solely prompted by national Interest in his efforts to interest powerful bankers to save the bank. M. Poincare said that telegrams from China emphasised the diff- calties caused by the failure of the bank together with the moral and material prejudice France suffered. M. Poincare declared. it was absolutely necessary to consider means for safeguarding French influence and prestige in the Far East
