thc new coin is an excellent piece of I

This statement is true. As each coin '

Conferenee to Ignore Charges
From the American point of view the
piiblication of the Chita documents, in
tended to give world-wide circulation
lo the belief that Japan and France
had formed a secret alliance, so that
Japan could cstablish herself permn
nently in Siberia beforr the Washing?
ton Armament Limitation Conferenee
began, had tho effect of bringing to

has not soon tit to recognizc the so
called Chita government oi thc Far
Ka-torn Republic.
Another difficulty, so far a- this con
? ???? nce is concerned, is that, of course.
t is no moro possiblc to force Japan
into evacuation of Siberia than it was
possiblc to force France to give up
her avowed intention to build 90,000
tons of submarines.
There the situation stands, with thc
l nited States anxious for Japan to
withdraw i'rom Siberia, with ' every
other nation anxious for that with
drawal and with Japan having prom
ised that she will as soon a> t; re is
a strong government therc which will
protcct her citizens.
Wants Merchant Ships Dettnrri
in regard to thc French position or
tne Root proposals, it is understood
that thc French will want distinct un
dcrstandings u~ to thc character o;'
merchant ships which are to be ex
empt from submarine attacks, unde:
the proposed agreement of thc five
powers that no one will attack the
merchant men of another with sub?
marines. No meeting of the naval com?
mittee is expected to-morrow, however.
because the ltalians have not heard
from Rome as to what thc attitude of
their government will be on this ques?
tion, and lhe Japanese have not re
ported the receipt of any reply from
Tokio. Secretary Hughes does not pro
pose to call a meeting until 1 11 of this
information has been obtained.
At th.- White House to-day thc
Cabinet d'scussed with the President
at some length the approaching eco?
nomic conferenee to bc held anroad.
Thc conversations, ii was learned, con
tirmed the understanding that this gov?
ernment wou!'' certainly go very
slowly about entenng any such con?
ferenee. There is a very strong senti
ment among sopie high in Administra
tion circles against this country par
ticipating on any terrns.
