WASHINGTON, December

8. A communique states that the Far Eastern committee met on December 8. All the delegates were present except Senator Underwood, S. Ricci, Baron Shiftehara, and S. Moresco.

Mr. Wellington Koo said that the essential principle laid down in point three of the Chiu se proposals was that the Chinese Govirament should have prior notifica tion before negotiations for any treaty or agreement affecting Uhinese interests. Agreements were frequently made relating to the Far East or China particularly without the participation of China or previous notice to the Chiness Government. He proposed that the powers shoblil agree not to conclude between themselves any trealy or agreement directly affecting China, the Pacific, or the Far East without previously notifying China and giving ber an opportunity to participate.

GENERAL ELECTION RUMOUR.

LONDON, December 9. While Mr. De Valera's message revealing a split iu the Slon Feiun Cabinet on the Irish treaty shows there are rocks ahead, there is little disposition in London to take an alarmist view, seeing that four of the cabinet ministers constituting a majority favour ratification, in- clnding the influential Mr. Grifith and the Commander- in-Chief. Mr. Michael Collins. Mr. Griffith Las igned & counterblast saying that he will stand by the treaty in the belief that the end of centuries of conflict is at haud.

Moreover, the mass of the Irish people evidently favour peace as the news of its signature followed by the immediate release of thousands of interned persons fot to rejoicings in South Freland.

BELFAST COOL.

He thought it was the George to day. Bir James Craig came to London hope of all present to place China in a position to defend specially to seek elucidation of certain points in the her Deutrality as she would no longer be a. prey to treaty. Belfast received the news of the agreement acquisitive powers. He thought this was more likely coolly.

after which owing to the important constitutional changes involved Parliament is expected to be dissolved. Where is talk of a general election in February.

REAL REMEDY

Another method which ought to be still more fruit ful must depend on China herself All the Conference could do way to see that no andun limitation was placed on China's sovereign independence and to give all the help in its power towards the creation of a pure and vigorous administration. He could, not see how that position could be helped by the principle proposed by the Chinese delegation which went a good deal beyond any existing principle of international law. Mr. Wellington Koo's principle involved limitation of the treaty-making rights of the powers which was hardly acceptable. The great romedy for the evil of uncredit- able treaties was publicity.

CHINESE OBLIGATION.

Mr. Balfour pointed out that all the members of the League of Nations and the United States by its con- stitution were bound to publish treaties. That was the real protection for Chiua..

قر

Mr. Hughes emphasised that the conference did not wish to interfore but wished to help Chjua establish sound government. Agreement to respect the integrity and sovereignty of China implied agreement, by China to respect the integrity of other powers. Each power should be free to make the agre ments necessary to presave its proper interests.

PRINCE'S WONDERFUL WELCOME.

VIVID EVENING PAGEANT.

PICTURESQUE PROCESSION,

BHARATPUR, December 9..

A wonderful evening, pageant, illuminated the plateau in the Prince of Wales honour. When the Prince arrived with the Maharaja the hillide burst into a vast shimmering device in which the Prince of Wales feathers were silhouetted. The procession was most impressive and in grandeur, slowly rolled by to the accompaniment of a military band alternating with the skirl of native bagpipes. Elephants, camels" lions and tigers played their part. When the native infantry swang past the Prince of Wales led the enthusiastic applause in tribute to their war-time services. These were succeeded by white robed cavalry who flitted ont of the gloom like ghosts to the sounds of weird native music on old-time instrumente. Quaint touches of incongruity were intro-luted by an elephant battery of brass cannon followed by a caterpillar tractor hauling modern guns, also an or transport on 'whose heels was a column of the latest type of motora. A number of other vivid features contributed to a really marvellous display.

The Prince left for Lucknow after an all day wild duck shoot and a state banquet.
