Hughes and other conference delegates have agreed that the treaty Includes Japan proper In the territory which the four signatories agree to safeguard. Harding flatly disagreed with this view, holding that only island possessions of the bowers are meant But he announced officially that he is willing to let the Hughes construction stand for official purposes. Furthermore, he announced he will not permit his difference with Hughes over the meaning of the treaty to embarrass the conference or ratification In the senate. Indications at the White House, however, are that Harding will refrain from any active campaign to force the treaty through the senate.
