nr MMIK M LI.IVA"Y WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 For practical purposes, the end of the conferonce is in sight. They have agreed to agree, and all that remains is to get the agreement into formal shape and ratify it in the presence of the public. The basis of the agreement is what Hughes wants. The Hughes program on armament will be adopted with
comparatively no modification cer-J
tainly with no modification that is not completely acceptable to Mr. Hughes. All dissent from the Hughes plan is over. The Japanese will not again raise the question of a larger ratio of ships; they have heard from their people too emphatically. The British will not propose any modifications, except minor ones wholly satisfactory to Mr. Hughes. Wins Far East Plan On the far east, the story Is the same. In this field the details of Mi. Hughes' plan are not as well known as in the case of armament. What is certain is that both Japan and Great Rritain in different ways and for different reasons have abandoned any intentions they had in the beginning to urge plans of their own about tho far cast different from Mr. Hughes' plan. All are going to assent to Mr. Hughes' way of settling the far eastern questions, The solution will be much less rigid

To Fight Three Proposals Senate conferes receded on only seven of the amendments adopted by the senate but in many cases they found it necessary to accept house amendments to the senate changes.

UNDERWOOD PROPOSAL (By Asso'tatc-d Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.--Consider-ation of Chinese aspects of the far eastern problem was continued today at a meeting of the Washington conference committee on Pacific and Far Eastern questions. It was decided to
i annnint u nnmrmtt fr, etui,! f'V, in.,-.
fiscal affairs, and no additional resolutions, regarding policies affecting China were adopted today by the committee. Further consideration of Chinese problems was postponed until 3
1 o'clock tomorrow, when another meetl ing of the delegates of the nine powj ers in commitiee of the whole will be held.
1 he conference committee, comprising the five principal powers will meet at 11 o'clock tomorrow in executive session for further consideration of naval reduction. Senator Underwood of the American delegation brought forward the proposals today for the committee to examine China's fiscal affairs. His suggestion was said to have been adopted unanimously and Chairman Hughes was authorized to" appoint the sub-committee later. The sub-committee; is to take up China's proposals for restoration of tariff autonomy, which would remove the pres-
! ent restriction limiting to five rer
cent, the duty collectable on China s imports. What Resolution Provides. As proposed by Elihu Root, of the American delegation and adopted by all the nations after two hours of debate in executive session yesterday the declaratory resolution constituting the first definite agreement of the conference commits the powers also
to a policy of providing fullest opportunity for development of a stable government in China and at the same time refraining from seeking special rights and privileges that would abridge the righ s of other nations. Wh'le not providing for settlement of any of the specific problems confronting China, the declaration touches in general terms most of the principles for which China asked in ber "bill of rights" and its adoption was manifestly gratifying to her spokesman here. The effect of the declared policy on the internal situation in China "was generally viewed today as depending on how far the "administrative inie-' grity" and the "special rights" provisions might be carried in their full application. Admiral Baron Kato. head of the Japanese delegation has
(By Associated Press) i expressed "perfect satisfaction" with BERLIN, Nov. 22. Japan, although j the resolution and some members of one of Germany's foes in the wcildjthat delegation have interpreted it as war, continues to command increasing , to be applied probably only to the fu-

ALL FRANCE SPEAKS THROUGH BRIAND, SAY PARISJEWSPAPERS (By Associated Press) PARIS, Nov. 22. "France speaks through the mouth of Briand." is the. almost universal caption in the Paris morning papers over the account of the French premier's address at the Washington conference. This caption, embodying the sense of satisfaction with which the speech
is hailed here, comprises almost the
only comment, the cabled text arriving so late as to preclude extended discussion. The only exception to the favorable tone is taken by the Cowimunist newspaper, L'Humanite, which uses the headline, "Briand D& fends France's Militarism." "Briand pleaded for France before the conference; he pleaded well and wron his case," says the Figaro. In the same vein ' is the comment of L'Oeuvre, a widely read newspaper which says "to convince his hearers he had only to reveal to them the real heart of France." While the comment was restricted, the newspapers' manner of presenting the speech showed an unmistak
able hearty endorsement of M. Briand's position in regard to land armaments.
