ARMAMENT CONFERENCE.
FAR EASTERN QUESTIONS. JAPAN AND CHINA, By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. Received September 12, 11.10 p.m. Tokio, Sept. 12. It is definitely understood that General Tanaka will be the military delegate at the Armament Conference. Some evidence of the stirring up of Japanese sentiment respecting Far Eastern questions, as the result of the proposed conference, can be seen by the Nichinichi’s announcement that the army leaders approve of the abatement of twenty-one demands on China, provided Japan is permitted to purchase rights in Port Arthur and Southern Manchuria.
The newspaper adds: “Japan will offer this programme to the conference, even expressing her willingness to withdraw the troops from Northern and Central China, Provided China will open the interior for foreign trade the withdrawal from Siberia will be assured. After the Russo-Japanese commercial treaty is secured Japan will offer to reduce her army to 21 divisions.”
