URSE OPEN DEALING IN FAR, EAST DIPLOMAC TWO MORE AMERICAN RESOLU- TIONS ADVOCATE FAIR PLAY, IN TRADE FIELDS (By Associated Press) Washington, Jan. 21.-- Two more American resolutions based on the principle of open diplomacy and open door of commercial opportunity with China were adopted today by the Far Eastern committee of th Washington conference. The proposal for a show down of all international agreements affecting CIina's interests, presented Thursday .by Secretary Hughes, was given com- mitte approval only after it had been "freighted" with upwards of a score of amendments, the American spokes-. man insisted tonight that its meaning had not been materially changed. Under a supplemental declaration proposed by Elihu Root and accepted with little debate, the powers agreed not to support in the future any en- gagement designed to create central spheres of influence of exclusive op- portunity in Chinese territory.. Taken- together the two decisions were hailed in American quarters as beginning a new era of open feeling and fair play in all that pertains to china's economic development.

H. White, head of the chemical engineering department, stated that to his mind the govern- ment would never receive a better of- fer for the Muscle Shoals plant than that one recently made by Henry Ford. Professor White, as a colonel dur- ing the war, was for a time in charge of ;he government nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals and consequently his statements are based on first hand knowledge of the conditions in that part of the country and the value of the plant. By comparison with the Ohio, he showed the size of the Tennessee river and its importance to the south. He pointed out that, except for the two dams at the Shoals, the Tennessee was navigable. He called attention to the fact that the South feels that im- provements in the river at Muscle Shoals would benefit the Southern states. "Fertilizer from the Shoals,", said he, "is used by the Atlantic coastj and the Gulf states and these states feel that a manufacturing plant at, that place would be advantageous." 1 He spoke of the offer made by Hen- ry Ford and said that it was doubt-1 ful if a better offer could be made by1 any man or group of men. He said that Ford's proposition would return but a small profit on the investmet and that it would return the property to the government at the end of 100 years. "I believe," he continued, "that a better offer will never be made, and I believe that Ford has made his last, offer. I believe the government should accept."

Van Tyne, of the history department, arrived safely in Bombay, India, on Dec. 11, according to letters received by Mrs. Van Tyne, President Marion L. Burton and Prof. J. S.
