Hoth replied that they sympathized with the aspirations of the new Japa- nese possession, and they hoped the time would come when Korea would get ck her liberty. The interrogator left the room before {his name could be learned. ! "During the course of his remarks pre- ceding this incident Representative Tagawa said that the clear evidence of | the liberal thought of Japan was to be found in the fact that the majority of the Japanese people think it right that | Shantung should be returned to China. {He explained that he did not under- istand why negotiations should be pro- |longed on this matter. Many people of Japan now are in- sisting that home rule should be es- tablished in Korea. A professor of the Imperial University, he said, had | informed him that if the law stu- |Gents had been asked whether Korea shouid be given her independence 90! per cent of them would have answered | in the affirmative. Representative Tagawa pointed out that when universal suffrage comes in Japan there will be a noticeable (change in favor of more liberal rep-! resentation in the diet. At present of | 2 total population of 57,000,000 peo- ple there are only 3,000,000 voters. Liberal Spirit Indicated. The liberal spirit is indicated by the formation of an organization having for its purpose the reduction of raili- tary and naval armament. the elimi- nation of causes of possible war in the far east, the elimination of mili- tarism and the promotion of indps- trial, economic and political democ- racy in Japan. The university students favor limi- tation of armament, he said, and in their actions may be seen a movement for liberty, freedom of specch, social equality and for civilization. The limitation of armament, he said, is one thing and removal of the causes of war is quite another. Causes of war, he sald, are largely economic, and to remove them there must be more broad and searching investigations. ‘education of the masses and more active effort.

By the Associated Press. H LONDON. Nov. 26—Answering the French note on the subject of the treaty recently negotiated by France with the Turkish nationalist govern- ment at Angora, to which Great Britain has taken exception in some particulars, a British note was hand- ed last night to the French ambassa- dor here reiterating, it is understood, the British expression of desire for a further explanation of the terms and purpose of the separate pact made i by France with the government of Mustapha Kemal Pasha. The British position is that the French, aside from @ealing a severe blow to allied solidarity by negotiat- ing the Angora treaty, have caused the Turks to assume a highly uncom- promising attitude which is likely to make extremely difficult any media- tion with the Greeks on moderate terms. Official circles indicated they did not expect the latest note to result in any material progress toward a settlement in the near east or the restoration of 1 full harmony in the policies of Eng- Jand and France with regard to that area. The note, however, it is stated, sets forth the British attitude in a firm but courteous manner and places the British position on record until a meeting of the allied supreme council can be held at which the Wwhole question of the near east can be reconsidered. The place and the date for such a meeting have not as yet been determined upon. —_— DENIES BRIAND-SCHANZER CLASH AT CONFERENCE Newspaper reports intimating that Premier Briand of France and Senator Schanzer, leader of the Italian dele- sation to the arms conference, had haa a “harsh debate” in a session of the conference committee on naval ar- mament, were officially denied last night by a representative of the IdaMan delegation and branded as “utterly without foundation.” “M. Briind and Senator Schinzer were then and have been. since on the most cordial terms,” said the Italian spokesman. “Senator Schanzer was merely setting forth Italy's viewpoint on the land armament question and the French premier only reiterated the stand on that matter that he had taken in the plenary session previou ly. It is deeply to be regretted th: this should be misconstrued as a clash.” “Italy fears no nation ip Europe.” continued the speaker, -“least of all would she consider possible hostili- ties with France or any other of her former allies. Owing to her position, Italy wants a navy equal to any Mediterranean power, but beyond that she considers protection unnecessary. Italy has already put through a moral and actual disarmament, and it was not for finaneial reasons alone. Italy came to the conference with a deter- mination to stand behind the United States for peace, with the desires of a mediator and with sincere purposes of forwarding the welfare of the world.” R i e | | AID ON TREASIRY SEEN N ARMS T Representative Fears Con- templabed Saving Will Be Wasted Otherwise. “The contemplated saving of several hundred million of dollars through the limitation of armament will re- gult in hundreds of attempted raids on the United States Treasury with freuk legislation,” sald Representa- tive Fess, chairman of the republican congressional committee, in a state- ment today. “Congress will have to on its guard to forestull in its in- cipiency freak legislation aimed at the funds saved by the administra- tion’s disarmament policy,” he said. “From everywhere will come demands for a lice of the money to be saved, which would not save the federal government anything, but only di- vert its present expenditures.” War Expenditures Heavy. ““The fact that 67 per cent of the venue is now being expended for wars that are past will remain unchanged for some time." he explained. “The 23 per cent that now goes for future wars will be cur- tailed, we hope, but will in no way make available lurge sums for an: be alertly who is chair- mittee on edu- cation, i recent investigation showed that less than 1.01 per cent of the feedral appropriation” went for educational purposes.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, November —A francs annually would be the saving through the reduction of military service in France to eighteen months, it was estimated in the course of debate in the senate today. Five hundred million francs was consid- ered as the cost of maintaining the soldlers for the period after eight- een months’ service, while an equal amount was lost on account of the | presence of the young workers in the | nese in this country and in China: army. The question arose during the de-| bate on a law to organize physical training for boys in preparation for military service. Minister of War Barthou sald. adoption of this meas- ure would hasten the moment when the army could be ‘reduced to an cighteen months® service basis, bring- ing the forces under arms to about one-half the army of 1912, or about 170,000 men. Army Reductions Hegun. Tie law now under consideration, providing for the fixing of service at two vears instead of three, stipu- lates that the government may main- taln troops in service beyond the regular period when exceptional cir- cumstances require it, but the num- ber must be reduced to that which two-year service would yield as xoon as the exceptional circumstances disappear. Reductions in the army already have begun with the disbanding of certain regiments and the liberation of certain categories of soldiers, to be folllowed, according to the gov- ernment program, by reduction of service to eighteen montha This will require further legislation and probably wilj not be effected until the law for obligatory physical train- ing in preparation for /military serv- ice if adopted, has shown resuit It is estimated that about 500,000 men are now under arms. The evacu- ation of Cilicia, when this operation is carried out, is expected to reduce this number by more than 50,000. JA‘PAN GIVES SHIP DATA. Dolegnfin‘n Trying to Support 10-10-7 Batio Proposal.

Feng and his praying army of Christians—who can fight as well as pray—would paralyze all pogsible armed opposition to the reform of China and render futile even any Napoleonic ambitions be entertained by Gen. | | An earnest example of the efficiency of the real Chinese patriots in coming to the help of their whole country is afforded by the group of Chinese bankers who have lately made heavy loans to the government upon con- dition that they supervise the exped ture. American representatives of the consortium say that the new part the big Chinese bankers are playing is the most hopeful aspect of the finan- cial situation in China today. The Chinese do not object to supervision of government expenditures—on the contrary, the public welcomes it—but they fear anything like international oversight or control; for by that route in the past China has lost much of her soverelgnty. Give the nation an adequate revenue and a reasonable measure of protection against outside aggression and she will show the world that she is not the decrepit in- stitution she is credited with being. Such, at least, is the optimistic view 1 now encounter. (Copyright, 1921.) —— ‘When a horse paws the roadway it is said is obeying sn instinct de- rived from a remote ancestor, who sought for water in this way, or was ll“'ie habit of digging through snow to reach his food. V » | Japanese weré stand-offish, curt, cold, wholly disinclined to recognize the existence of the press earthworms. Here they are friendly, apparently candid, seemingly anxious to impress upon the United States that the Japa- nese attitude h wholly changed. They plead guilty to the sins of the past very freely. They are even quite frank in admitting that while they have sinned they do mnot; want the profits of their sins taken from them. It is a new, an astounding and a somewhat perplexing attitude. “Vive la France” is the statement of the representatives of France upon any occasion. France has suffered so ferribly in the late war—is stlll suffering—that the Frenchmen do not even pretend to ccnsider any problem other than their own. Or. if they do, it is only to ex- amine the problem of the other man in relation to their owg situation. They have come here, frankly. to see if they can get some further measure of protection or relief out of the Washington conference. Italy seems to have come rather to make known her genuine friendship for the United States. She is not really interested in either the eastern problem or the dis- armament plan, and says 0. ~“But here we are,” her delegates seem to say. “This conference will enable us to get better acquainted with our friends.” The British * delegates have a method all their own in.putting their desires forward. They deal in sweet reasonableness. They agree with the American pro] .~ whatever that proposal may be. They are assured that the Americans are ‘honest, un- selfish. and impartial. “But"—they say—“but, it seems to us that such and such a change might be made. This is why we think so. Maybe we are wrong. But how does it seem to you?” - 2 May Walk With Limp. It is very distressing. But it seems probable that when the reporters go home from this conference most of them will be walking: with a limp. The reason why is only apparent to a trained mind. -In Europe all reslly amount -to to an embassy or a diplomatic H. Q Unfortunately, the folks back home have not been educated up to the' cane level. Even the folks right here in Washington have not been jacked up that high. Thus, ept When in the very act and article of visiting an embassy, the xane-bear- ing reporters affect a limp. It is a weak concession to prejudice. How- | ever, not even a 100 per cent' Amer- | ican will say anything unkind to a poor, old, crippled guy who walks with a cane.
