A split in_the agricultural “bloc” i the Senate has practically assured the adoption of the administration substi- tute for the Norris .farm export cor- portion bill. Senator Norris yesterda: vigorously protested against the side- | tracking of his measure, and charged | that “political machine” “tactics had been used by the administration forces. | The attack of Senator Norris, which followed an agreement between repub- lican and democratic_senators to sup- port_the administration plan to hav the War Finance Corporation placed i charge of agricultural credits, was di- ! rected at the substitute bill of Senator | Kellogg. republican, Minnesota. This | measure was drafted by Secresary | Hoover and Director Meyer of the War Finance Corporation and was intro- duced Tuesday just prior to the read- | ing of a message from President Hard- ing_suggesting such a measure. | Characterizing the Kellogg bill a: n illegitimate child.” Secretar: oover and Director Mever. as its 'wet nurses,” and Senator Kelloge. as its “foster fathe said the effort to defeat the Senator bill was the topic of many White House conferences.

Desiring, as they (do?), to contribute to the es- tablishment of an enduring peace and to the advancement of human wel- fare, the Japanese government ear- nestly hope that the proposed con- ference may attain the expected re- sults and their ideals may thereby be brought nearer to realization. “In order to insure the success of the conference, the Japanese govern- ment deems it advisable that the agenda thereof should be arranged in | accordance with the main object of the discussion as above defined, and that introduction therein of problems such as are of sole concern to cer- tain particular powers or such mat- ters that may be regarded accom- plished facts should be scrupulously avolde The American memorandum deliver- ed July 23 follows: “The government of the United States appreciates the readiness of the imperial Japanese government to ac- cept the invitation to attend the con- ference on the limitation of arma- ment. The Secretary of State of the United States, in the course of informal con- versations with his excellency, the imperial ambassador at Washington, has expressed the hope that the im- perial government would not press its inquiry as to the nature and scope of the Pacific and far eastexn problems to be discussed at the proposed con- ference in view of the fact that it is desirable that the full acceptance of the invitation of the American gov- ernment leave this matter open for adjustment in the precise agenda to ‘. be arrived at later. “The Secretary of State is willing to proceed with exchanges of opinion regurding the agenda prior to the meeting of the conference.

Twenty-five legislative representa- tives of national and international | unions, representing virtually the en- | tire labor movement of America, united | in a campaign against legislation per- nitting importation of Chinese coolies into Hawaii at an informal confer- ence in the legisiative room of the A. F. of L. last night. The purpose in calling the confer- ence was to give detailed information regarding the Hawaiian situation and to outline a plan of campaign against such legislation. G. W. Wright and W. R. Chilton of the Honolulu Central Labor Union gave detailed accounts of the possi- bilities existent there on sugar plan- tations. Mr. Wright said that under the terms of a pending House resolu- tion it would be possible to import 50,000 Chinese coolies annually into Hawaii for work on sugar planta- tions, and that it would form an open- ing wedge for Asiatic immigration into the United States, especially on the Pacific coast. Mr. Wright said that he had assur- ances from large sugar plantation owners of the Pacific that if the legis- lation were mot passed such steps would not be necessary in the United States. But, he added, if the legisla- tion permits Chinese labor in Hawaii, plantation owners in the United States would be forced to seek similar legislation in order to protect them from competition of cheap labor. The delegates from Hawali said there is no need for imported labor in Hawail, since hundreds are out of | employment and a threatened decrease | in_governmental forces of the island | indicates that the number of unem- ployed will grow to a larger propor- tion in the near future.

CITIZENS’ COMMITTEE GIVES UP LABOR OFFICE Accomplishment of its object and resulting disbandment is reported to the public by the citizens' committee, which until the start of the current fiscal year acted in connection with the United States Department of Labor in operating the citizens' em- ployment service at 1410 Pennsyl- vania avenue, in a statement issued today. The object of the committee was to keep the bureau in operation until such time as it could be operated by joint appropriations from District funds and those of the employment division of the Department of Labor. The committee reported that be tween February. 1920. and July, 1921 busipess men and others in the Dis- trict subscribed $5,953 for the work. The service given during that time is itemized as follows: Forty-nine thousand, one hundred and thirt three unémployed persons registered 34720 business employers registred 33,021 referred to places for emplo; ment and 24,323 placed in employ- ment. The bureau operates without cost to employer or emplove. It is hoped by the committee that under direc- tion of the municipal and national government authorities it will be- come a clearing house for all labor in the District. Frank R.
