DISARMAMENT
WASHINGTON* CONFERENCE FAR EASTERN QUESTIONS. JAPAN’S POLICY OUTLINED. Fimtt Association —By Telegraph—Copyright TOKIO, September 12. (Received Sept/-12, at 11.10 p.m.) It is definitely understood that Geneial Tanaka will be the military delegate at the Disarmament Conference. Some evidence; of the stirring up of Japanese resentment respecting Far Eastern questions as the result of the proposed conference can be seen by the Nichi Nichi’s announcement that the army leaders approve of the abatement of the 21 demands on China, provided Japan is permitted to purchase rights in Port Arthur and Southern Manchuria. The newspaper adds that Japan will offer this programme ■to the conference, even expressing her willingness to withdraw her troops from Northern and Central China provided that China will open the interior for foreign trade. The withdrawal from Siberia will be assured after a Russo-Japanese commercial treaty has been secured. Japan will offer to reduce her army to 21 divisfons..—A. and N.Z. Cable.
