CONFERENCE DECISION
Washington, Dec 2.—Japan is
still holding her delegation in sus
pense with reference to the naval
program and the Shantung propos
al. Thus far these have blocked the
conference, and th» success of the
conference appears endangered. Bar
on Kato has demanded more time
that he may digest the report of his
natal experts. The situation is that
Japan has not accepted the ratio giv
en her in the naval program. I'pon
this rests in large measure the suc
cess of the conference. She does
not state why she hestitates to ac
cept the ratio. Htv position in the
matter of the Shat.tung province is I
still unknown. Tl.e fear that the,
United States—in case the program
is rejected—will proceed to con
struct the greatest navy In the
world is believed u.ay yet influence |
Japan toward being more reason
able before public opinion becomes'
too inflamed. The Chinese students I
paraded this afternoon in protest
against their delegates, branding
them as trators fjr not taking a
firm stand and demanding the un
conditional surrender of Shantung.
