FAR EASTERN QUESTIONS.

Washington, Nov. 17. Forecasts of the American proposals as regards the Far East have been published in Washington, which, although not claimed 23 being Sathoritativa are understood by those competent to judge to reflect American desires. These embrace the abolition or modif- cation of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance; Japanese evacuation of Shantung and Siberia; renunciation of the claims to special interests in Ching under the Lansing Ishii agreement; all-round relinguishe ment of spheres of interest in China; undertakings that possession of private property in China, especially railroads, do not confer any political and military rights whatsoever; agreements that lease- bolds in Chinese ports, like Weihaiwei and Klaochau shall not in- fringe Chinese territorial sovereignty and an understanding where- or the United States will not fortify the Philippines, Guam; Midway Island, or Samoa if Japan does not fortify insular outpasts in the Western Pacide.

Britain's Attitude.

A high British authority at the Washington Conference em- phasised the four outstanding features of the British view: point respecting China's proposals. He says that Britain reiterates the principle of the open door, considers spheres of influence anti- quated and in modern times unsuitable and does not regard the Panama Canal as a Pacific question and will not urge it on the Con- ferance's consideration. The Anglo-Japanese Alliance is not re- garded as directly involved in China's proposals, although the ques- tion may be withdrawn later in consideration of Far-Eastern ques- tions, which will immediately proceed on the basis of yesterday's Chinese propositions which will be examined by experts whose reports will be presented at the Conference at the earliest possible moment, The British would welcome any agreement between the great Powers respecting China even if one limited it to America, Japan and Britain. As they felt co-operative action was desirable to regulate Far Eastern conditions he added that Britain will not advance any proposition regarding the adjustment of foreign war indebtedness to the United States.

Outline of Japanese Proposals.

Statements emanating from authoritative Japanese quarters at Washington profess to represent Japan's readiness to withdraw from Shantung and Kiaochau provided Britain withdraws from Weihaiwe. Also, it is stated, Japan does not desires to annex or exercise a protectorate over Manchuria but demands recognition of the principle that she is specially interested there based on cen- tiguousness and railway and other investments. It is also alleged that Jappa desires recognition of the principle of peaceful penetration for trade in Siberia and is ready completely to withdraw the) Japanese forces there upon the organisation of a stable government qualified to protect the Japanese in the Russian Far Eastern Mari. time Province in Siberia. The Japanese views on the question of China are less dañaite and it seems their aim is the Chinese accep tance of the Foar Power Consortium with the object of conducting Chinese foreign loans and establishing public services with the as- sistance of Chinese capital under control exercised for the purpose; of obviating waste and corrupt misapplication of funds. The in- pression is growing in Washington that the main work of the Con- ference may be completed by Dec. 31.

It is believed that the suggestion that the Mutsu be not scrapped will probably be adopted as it will not materially change the Ameri- can plan. The Japanese naval advisers are optimistic over the prospects and even hope that a full agreement will shortly be reached by all the Powers. The Japanese declared a willingness to discuss all Chinese questions in the frankest possible manner and are mosti anxious to meet the views of the Powers. The degree of tension recently apparent over Far Eastern questions is relieved by the careful way in which the Committee of nine are approaching the difeglties.

The kernel suitable basis for discussion on the whole Far Eastern question, but seem to lack definiteness except as regards principles. They pre- sume that the Chinese delegation will not delay saggestions for a settlement of disputed issues. Signor Schanzer declared that the Italians would support the solution which would best ensure the free development of China and guarantee equality of the various nations interested in her progress.

British Naval Expert's Views.

London, Nov. 17. The naval expert, Mr. Archibald Hurd of the Deily Telegraph, has elucidated the Americas naval scheme He says that there is no idea of reductions in existent effective pavies. It is simply pro- posed to scrap a number of obsolescent capital ships, the majority of which anyhow would shortly be broken op. The navies of thei Big Three would be neither weakened or strengthened. The ex- pense of the Beet and its maintenance would not be appreciably re- British and American Paradox Explained.

London, Nov. 17. The explanation of the paradox disclosed in the American disarmament proposals to increase submarines while Britain strongly favours numerical reduction and limitation in size is found in the fact that American naval opinion regards these craft not as a weapon of offence but defence and exminently suitable for the protection of a long coastline. On the other hand the British think if the programme is not, carefully guarded there may be serious developments in sub- marine warfare which will nullify the benefit of suppressing capital ships.

RUSSIAN DEBTS.

Reval, Nov. 17.

It is reported from Moscow that Chicherin has requested Krassin to express the Soviet's satisfaction with the British reply as regards Russian debts. Chicherin admits that some questions are obscure and suggests that they be cleared up by formal discussions. "If the British Government anderstood that the Soviets mean that the obligation to pay debts lapsed after a certain period of time, this misunderstanding is due to telegraphic mutilation." Nevertheless he reiterates the contention that a nation which is liberated from despotism is not bound to pay the debts of a-government which had used the money against its own people.

Complete agreement has been reached between the Public Trustee and the South African Custodian of Enemy Property rela- tive to the allocation of enemy shares in companies working Saath African miting properties. The shares will be offered in blocks to the groups and companies concerned. It is hoped that disposal of the negotiations will be completed by the end of January.
