TOKIO, October 21.—The foreign of- fico today gave out for publication its recent note to China in connection with Japan's proposals for direct negotiations with that nation over Shantung, and In a brief paragraph accompanying tho note cited the prior exchange of com- munications. The tc«xt of China’s re- Iply, dated October 5, was appended. Comment on Correspondence. Commenting or this correspondence & foreign office official reiterated the view previously expressed in Japanese gov- ernment quarters that Japan could not comprekend China’s refusal of direct negotiations, in view of the fact that Japan's former note was based upon in- fcrmal conversations with representa- of China. in which the points to be dered in the contemplated negotia- ticns were discussed. If China would submit a counter pro- posal, the official declared, Japan would gladly give it consideration, since she was actuated by the sircerest desire to find an amicable solution and remove the source of friction. In the event of China's continued refusal to negotiate, Jupan's course, he faid, was unaefined, tut would be determined according to ¢ rcumstances. REFLECTS POPULAR WILL. Change of Program Here Would Affect Soldier Ceremony. By the Assoclated Press. Lacking official notification of Pre- mier Lloyd George's intention to sail for the United States on the liner Aquatania, due in New York the morning of November 11, State De- partment officlals have not considered altering arrangements for the open- ing of the armament conference so as | to permit the British premier to be | present. As now planned, the first session of | i i the conference will be held early in the day of November 11. There will be no ceremonies in_connection with this meeting and no addresses of welcome or other speeches are to be delivered. The conference will ad- journ immediately as a special mark of honor to the American unknown dead to be buried at Arlington ceme- tery on that day, and also out of re- spect to the allied and American cele- bration of November 11 as Armistice ay. PLEDGES AID TO SHIPS. President Harding gave assurance yesterday that he is in hearty sym- pathy with the building up of the American merchant marine to a 100 per cent efficiency, when he received a delegation representing the Middle ‘West Merchant Marine Association, hich recently met in convention in Cincinnati. Malcolm Stewart of Cincinnati, chairman of the delegation, told the President of the interest in this country and especially ' among the shippers of the middle.west in the establishment of a greater merchant marine and presented to him resolu- tions adopted at the Cincinnati con- vention urging the support of the present administration of a program for the advancement of the shipping interests of the country. Senator Ransdell of Louisiana in- troduced the delegation to the Presi- dent and later in the afternoon ac- companied it to a conference at the Shipping Board, where coples of the resolution were presented to Chair- man Lasker. a a Peking Declares Rejection of Ja. pan’s Proposal Upheld by People. By the Associated Press. PEKING, October 21.—China's note to Japan rejecting the latter's pro- posal for direct negotiations relative. to Shantung reflected the popular will, and the Japanese reply to that note does not present arguments sufficient to induce China to reconsider her posi- tion. This position was taken by the Chinese cabinet yesterday, when a three-hour session was held. It is semi-officially stated here. The cab- inet decided to instruct the foreign office to draft a reply to Tokio. The Chinese reply is expected to go to Japan next week. It is believed in the best informed circles here that the Peking government, having ex- plained the case of China in the memorandum of October 5, would like to negotiate directly with Japan, and would submit the final results to the Washington conference for approval or for arbitration. It is declared, however, the government fears the consequences of such a step, there being_apprehension of popular disap- proval. The premler presided at yesterday's cabinet meeting after an absence of [ three weeks, during which he had at- j tempted several times to resign his post. His presence at the meeting is construed as an indication that the ministerial crisis has been temporar- ily tided over, but it is known that the premier has requested the presi- dent to find another man for the po- sition. He has indicated his determi- nation not to remain in office longer than two months, because of the financial position of the nation and the political problems rising out of the controversy with the government of South China at Canton. se problems appear to be difficult of so- lution while there ia in office & gov- ernment dominated by conflicting mil- ftary factions. h: from now? Japan’s Appeal to Powers, Previous advices from Tokio, tell- ing of the dispatch of the latest Japanese communication, declared it was belleved in authoritative quar- ters in Tokio that should China, after recelving this communication, persist in her present course, Japan would publish all of the correspondence re- lating to the controversy for the pur- pose of appealing to the judgment of the pawers. toed shoes? right shoes now.

Senator La Follette led the fight against the provisions and was sup- ported by Senators Simmons of North Carolina, Hitchcock, Nebraska, and other democrats, Senator Townsend. Committee members con | tended that the exemptions proposed were necessary in order that Ameri- can firms might compete in foreign markets on an equal footing with | foreign concerns, but Senator La Fol- lette and other opponents contended that such exemptions were not grant- ed by other countries. During Senate discussion, Edge, republican, New Jersey, spoke in favor of the Smoot manufacturers sales tax plan. He also assailed the proposals to increase the maximum income surtax rates from the com- mittee figure of 32 per cent to 50 per cent, declaring that this would hin- der recovery from the existing indus- trial stagnation.
