WASHINGTON. Jan. 21. Two more American resolutions based on the principle of open diplomacy and an open door of commercial opportunity in China were adopted today by the Far Eastern committee of the Washington conference. The proposal for a showdown of all international agreements affect ing China's interests, presented Thursday by Secretary Hughes, was given committee approval only after it had been freighted with upwards of 'a score of amendments.

Heralds, Sfw Era Under a supplemental declaration proposed by Elihu Root and accepted with little debate, the powers agree not support in the future any engagements entered into by their na tionals designed to create special spheres of influence or exclusive opportunities within Chinese territory. Taken together the two decisions were hailed in American quarters as insuring a new era of open dealing and fair play in all that pertains to China's, economic development. By the Chinese delegation, however, they were not received with equal -enthusiasm, one Chinese spokesman sayliig his colleagues on the delegation were "not very, well satisfied" with the final form of. the much amended proposal for treaty publicity. Doubt Practical Application i Among the Japanese, the intent and substance of the publicity resolution were given warm approval, but grave doubts were expressed as to the possibilities of its practical application to engagements and contracts made in China by private individuals.

As the Hughes proposals provide that the powers other than China agree to compile lists of their commitments and those of their nationals in China, and to forward the texts of these agreements to the secretary-general of the Washington conference as soon as convenient. Future agreements of the same char acter must be similarly filed within 60 days after completion. In two additional articles, China agrees to be bound by the. same stipulations confirming the other powers, and na tions not. represented here are invit ed to agree to the arrangement.

OPPOSITION IN SENATE BREWING OVER TREATIES U. S. Ability to Participate in International Action Doubted QUESTION CONSIDERED America's Participation in Genoa Conference Hangs in Balance By DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright 1922.

by tha Decatur Herald) WASHINGTON. Jan. 21. Gin the United States Govern ment, as at present constituted. participate in international ac- ton? This question Is being seriously discussed in official quarters as a direct consequent of the very evident opposition which is brewing in.

the United States Senate toward the treaties negotiated by the executive branch of the government at th rms conference bat it has a relation lso to whether the United States will be represented at the economic conference at Gen6a. Remembering that the Senate refused to ratify tn4 treaty of Ver-tailles and the diminished diplomatic Influence of the executive branch of the American government, the fear is expressed that perhaps the Senate will again repudiate the executive and demonstrate that whether the administration be republican or dem ocratic, the legislative branch of the government is tiie final authority in America on foreign affairs. The Harding administration taking Its lesson from the experience of its predecessor which, the I treatey of Versailles covering as many as 200 subjects, outlined a simple program for the present confer-- ence Far Eastern affairs and reduction of armament. The land armament problem was abandoned and the program was still further nar rowed down. Now it looks as if those two items would cause such disagreements as to endanger the ratification of the principal treaties.

Quick Action Impossible What use, therefore, is it for the executive branch of the government to think about mere international conference as for example the one at Genoa? A European government hicb is represented in the negotia tions by a ministry can commit its parliament to approval or it prompt ly shows the negotiators that the ministry is wrong" by overthrowing it.

Too much time must elapse before changes Jean be registered. International action under uch circumstances is almost impos-libie. These views are not merel acn-. dem'ic. theories by students of govWn-Wtnt but practical questions' which are being raised every day in the discussions concerning future policy in official quarters.

On the day of his election he spoke of the burden of responsibility-thrust frail brain" and expressed his horror of the world conflict then being waged and bis hope that It would quickly end.

One week aftei his coronation, when the Fisherman's Ring was placed upon 'his finger, he issued an Encyclical to the episcopacy of the world which rulert were exhorted to put aside dissen-tfions'and to" "enter into a council of peace all speed." The appeal fell upon stony ground, however, and later, on December 12, 1914, the Vati can authorities announced the, Pope's plan for a Christinas truce was fail ing.
