The board also received com-
munications from the Revcr'end

AGREEMENT ON

Washington All-

Delving Into A l I

PROPOSED PLAN
Customs Duties to Be
Revised and Extra-
Territorial Question
To Be Discussed
WASIINGTON. July 22.—(AP).
Substantial accord has been reached
by the powers on a formula to deal
with the whole Chinese problem.
Formal acquiescence in some ele-
ments of the program still is lacking
but the Peking diplomats are ex-
pected to be in a position to sub-
mit the formula to the provisional
givernment of China at an early
date.
The settlement to be proposed will
include the Washington conference
plan for revision of Chinese cus-
toms duties and creation of a com-
mission of inquiry into extra- terri-
torial questions: and also the British
proposal for a new judicial inquiry
into the responsibility for loss of
lives in the recent Shanghai rioting.
The plan for dealing with the
Shanghai incident is expected to be
contingent upon participation by the
Peking government in the extra-
territorlal injuiry, and agreement by
that government to be bound by the
findings of the investigation.
