Arthur J. Balfour and Albert Bar-

Tho American
Leadership.
(By the Associated Press)
WASHINGTON Feb. 4. Tho arms
conference today wound up ita worii
With a whirlwind. It formally a"p-
.proved tho various agreements to
mako for peace in the Far East and
in- tho closing moments Arthur J.
Balfour heading the British delega-
tion voicing the feeling of states-
men everywhoro that China is koystono
of that structure uttered a solemn
warning that tho world expected a
respect of the settlement arrived at in
strict good faith.
Any nation tljo British statesman
said which in tho future aimed to
transgress tho principles -laid down
in tho conference with regard (o
China need not pload ignorance nor
soelc to invoke any "secret under-
standing" with minor Chinese offic-
ials.
Such a nation 'Mr. Balfour lmpres-
slvolyj declared would be considered
"outside" the comity of nations.
In a brief hour's work which pre-
ceded a field day for oratory in which
tho delegation leaders' took opportu-
nity to pay tribute to President Hard-
ing thG conference put tho formal
stamp of approval on the results of
the three long months of patient and
not untroubled negotiations which
will take their places in the niches
of history.
"Exactly 12 weeks ago" said. Mr.
Balfour "the president of the United
States in an eloquent speech In which
ho inaugurated our meeting asked us
to approach our labors with full con-
sciousness that we were working for
the welfare of mankind.
"Looking back over that 12 weeks
I think wa say without undue sjlf
esteem that tho advice o nobly ten-
dered has-been taken and. wo. have
had?av 'consciousness that wo "were
working in the service of mankind".
T Mr.. Balfour Said lie could well be-
lieve that the mass of treaties re-
solutions and speeches might cause a
"maze" and confusion in tho public
mind. .
Moral Questions Met
"ret I think" ho added "that those
engaged in tho trorlc as wejl ad those
who will have the opportunity calmly
to consider it will see that in spite
of tho fact that wo havo traveled all
over the whole globe seemingly trif-
ling details tho great moral ques-
tions havo been mot."
ii you wouia reaiiy estimate uie
magnitude of our accomplishments." 'counsel for James A. Stlllman sue.
fTr Tin if nil nnntintlhil ltnnat- yrniit nwno' -. - i.i i t.i i.t.. . i . .-
Mr. Balfour continued "cast your eyes
back only a few months wlren a spirit
of deep anxiety over-shadowed tho
liilrld of every man who contemplated
tho state of public feeling In the Pa-
cific area. Although tho world was
atill blooding from the wounds of war
men talked glibly about naval
wata and our grcatinuritlino powers
felt they Woi'o .almost committed to
the fatal rivalry of ship building a
standing menacu to Its peace.
"May wo not see In the changed
feeling of men that already tho work
of this conference has produced ita
bonpficleut results; that already a
feeling a mutual feeling of fear has
given way to a feeling of a cry
different chaiaqt9r."
Senator Underwood at tho request
of Chaiumau Hughes explained pro-
visions of tho Chinesa tariff treaty.
"In tho twentieth contury 'treaties
ceased tp be compacts between pow-
ers" fcttkl Senator Undenvood. "If
they aro to llvo they must constitute
understanding between the pcopls."
