THE WASHINGTON CONFERENCE.
Washington, Jan. 6.
It is stated on high authority that the end of the Washington Conference is in sight. A plenary session will probably be held at the end of the week when the Five Power Naval Treaty will week for sub- be made known. Another plenary session next mission of the Nine-Power Treaty concerning China would free delegates, and only ratification by the respectiça Parliaments would be necessary to seal the Conference's achievements. It is reported that the draft of the Naval Treaty includes an important provision under which, if any of the signatories are threatened by war by outside Powers, Ave Powers will meet in consultation, thus extend- ing the consultation provision contained in the Pacific part.
It is apparently now agreed to interpret the Pacific Treaty and as excluding Japan's homeland, though including Australia New Zealand, this interpretatian probably being to facilitate rati fication by the United States Senate. Meanwhile, resumed Shan tung negotiations have become complicated.
The Shantung Question.
It is reported that the new Chinese Government has accepted a loan from Japan, in consideration of which the latter has aban- doned important points in its Shantung claim. Chinese delegates are believed to have been instructed to settle the problem on's compromise basis, which the delegates hitherto persistently re- fused to do. As regards the Chinese demand for discussion of the Twenty One Demand Treaty, it is reported that they pointed out that while hitherto they have failed to obtain discussion, China has thus effectually reserved freedom of action hereanent at same future conference.

Tariff Revision.
The increase of China's tariff rate is expected to swell income by forty-six million dollars. The Chinese delegates, however, ex- for with- pressed disappointment at no denite date being fixed drawal of foreign supervision of the Chinese customs. The agree ment states that immediate steps will be taken through the Con- ference by China and the Powers interested for the abolition of likin and fulfilment of China's other Treaty obligations, and while these matters are being adjusted two and a half per cent, surtax on most of the dutiable imperts will be authorised, with five per The agreement further pro- eent. permitted on certain luxuries. cides that the tariff revision shall be carried out forthwith at Shanghai, "on the general lines of the last revision and proceed as rapidly as posible with the view to completion within four months from the conclusion of the present Conference, and the tariff revision will become effective in two months after publication, without awaiting ratification." Another revision is planned in four
years, after which revisions will be every seven years.
Foreign Troops in China.
The resolution relating to the withdrawal of foreign troops from China, "whenever China shall assure the protection of the lives and property of foreigners in China," says: Representatives at Peking of the Powers at this Conference will be instructed, when- ever China so requests, 13 associate themselves with the three repre- sentatives of China to conduct a full and impartial enquiry into the issues raised by the declaration of the Powers of their intention to withdraw their armed forces. This Commission shall prepare „a
full and comprehensive report setting out, without reservation, their findings of fact and opinion. The resolution concluded: Each of the signatory Powers shall be deemed free to accept or reject all or any findings expressed in the Commission's report, but such acceptance shall in no case be dependent directly or indirectly open the granting by China of any special concession of favour, benefit or immunity, whether political or economie.
