. — THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY DEOEMBER 2, 1921 'l Policy of Frankness Favored by Japanese Parley Adviser, Who Counsels Against Secrecy} SUSPICION AROUSED IS VIEW OF YOKOTA Says He Realizes Course at Parley Should Be Changed to Get Good Will. SOON TO STATE PROGRAM Adviser Declares Countrymen Have Blundered in Thus Far Ignoring Public Opinion. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. Premier Hara's probable successor as head of the selyukai, or liberal party, Mr. Sennosuke Yokota, dis-| cussed freely the Japanese policy of secrecy at the conference and the dissensions that exist in the Japanese group here concerning it. He declares that the Japanese delegation, to which he is an adviser, has had all along, ever since before leaving Ja- pan, a definite program, including the possible limits to which it can yield, and that ere long this platform will be anrounced. He himself is of the party which contended from the first for a “magnificent gesture” that would win his country the plaudits of the world. Possibly the fact that he is leaving Washington in a few days, having been recalled to Japan by - political dutles, is one explanation of the can- dor and force with which this high official—he has represented with the delegation the diplomatic advisory council to the cabinet, and also bears the title of “president of the Japa- nese bureau of legislation”—expressed his views for publication. In all the undercurrent of confer- ence discussions the ever-recurring question has been, “Why don’t _the Japanese declare themselves? Why are they permitting the delegation to be forced from point to point, always on the defensive? Where is the broad statement of policy that they at first intimated would be forthcoming?’ Mr. Yokota makes answer. Oriental Atmosphere. ‘The setting of our interview repre- sents the modern Japanese state of mind, a curious commingling of the old and the new. I was received in the drawing room of a hotel suite, amid the familiar Japanese odors, and with the graciousness of old Ja- pan, his excellency escorting me all the way to the elevator after our long talk. Japanese incense clung to the modern hangings of the room. The Inevitable tea kettle, instead of being on a charcoal brazier, was at- tached to an electric fixture. On a little table had been built a Shinto shrine, before which two candles and a stand of incense were burning. The center of the shrine was a portrait of Premier Hara, whose spirit, present in the room, according to Japanese be- lief. was being worshiped. Two silver trays of cakes were on the shrine, as emblematic of food for the spirit. Above the Shinto emblems—such is religious eclecticism in Japan—was a Buddhist image. Plainly, Mr. Yokota is not an agnostic, and shares the religious faith of his fathers. Appreciative of Visit. ‘While from several incidental evi- dences I am sure that my host under- stands English, yet we talked through an interpreter. This is not an uncom- mon practice of oriental public men, as it gives them opportunity to con- sider what reply they shall make. Since LORD RIDDELL SPEAKS. l Addresses Twentieth Century Club on Arms Parley. The workings of the Limitation of Arms Conference were described. in a general way by Lord Riddell, a mem- ber of the British delegation to the conference, to members of the Twen- tieth Century Club yesterday at the Cos- mos Club. Lord Riddell told the club members of the purpose of calling the confer- ence among the larger nations and of the assembling of the -various delegates here. He related the open- ing of the conference and of the prin- cipal speeches made at that time. ‘The speaker told of the committee meetings which are held in copjuno- tion with the main conference, at which, he sald, detailed work, to be taken up at the conference sessions, is gotten together. He referred also in his talk especially to the situa- tion in China and told how several countries had been given concessions there and how they conduct their business in that country. Following the address Lord Riddell was given a reception by the club members. Mrs. William H. Herron pre- ded. An’ address on “Women in Civic Af- tairs” was made by Mrs. William N. Willebrandt, an assistant attorney goneral. Following the meeting & luncheon was served. Britain for making possible, through the mediation of Secretary Hughes and Mr. Balfour, a discussion of the Shan- tung issue. Public Must Be Considered. Frankly raising the point of public wonderment why Japan does not state her position in broad terms, instead of being obliged to appear in the role of defendant as each item of the far east ern question comes up in the confer- ence, I was told by Mr. Yokota that the same question was continually being pressed by an influential body of Jap: nese in attendance here. But the ex- ponents of the historic Japanese policy of secrecy have thus far had their way. He himself has vigorously dissented from the course that is being followed, and it he were to remain he would fight still harder for a greater degree of candor. He recognizes that the issues are not only being considered and de- cided in the official sessions, but also in the minds of the people of the world. Japan has blundered in ignoring public opinion. She has not laid her case be- fore the world. Furthermore, continued Mr. Yokota, now that he is returning to Japan he means to put this matter before the cabinet and the elder statesmen, that, if possible, a new policy of frankness may be adopted in Japan's future relations with other nations. He realizes that the old way tends to suspicion and allenation. Inci- dentally, he paid tribute to the press of the world for the spirit of moder- ation and consideration that it has shown to the Japanese since this con- ference opened. Definite Program. Japan has a policy, clear, full and definite. It was settled before the delegation left home. The limits to which Japan will go, and beyond which she will not go, have been clearly fixed. With all this definite- ness, though, there was not enough preparation for the spirit of the con- ference. In general, his excellency would only say that certain issues affecting all powers alike are proper for decision by the conference, but that other matters, affecting only the relations of Japan and China, will have to be settled by these two nations alone Touching upon the battleship is- sue, ‘he remarked upon the difficulty of controling home sentiment. Where people have served and suffered, to secure money for the building of a great ship for the defense of the nation, it is hard to peresuade them to turn it into scrap iron. In America it is different, for this nation is so rich that a few batleships more or less mean nothing. That there is a rising tide of democracy in Japan and that in fu- the views were expressed in Japanese, verbatim quotation would be meaning- less, so sum..arize, as the interpre- ter did, the opinion expressed. After warm words of appreciation of his visit to America, Mr. Yokota said that he thought the conference would ture the relations of the countries depend most upon public sentiment, with the peoples of each nation un- derstanding the other, was the clos- attain a degree of success that would satisfy the world, though he implied that it is unlikely to come up to many ardent expectations. He quickly got to ing observation of the interview, aside from the gracious words to be expected {from a Japanese gentleman. the point of thanking America and SPECIAL NOTICES. (Copyright, 1921.)

Brought together through the friendly offices of Secretary Hughes and Mr. Balfour, -representatives of Japan and China met yesterday after- noon in the first of a series of meet- ings to discuss the future disposition of Shantung. These consultations are rnot a part of the agenda of the arma- ment and far eastern conference, but designed to obviate a possible demand that the Shaptung question be taken up by the conference. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Balfour ad- dressed the meeting, expressing the hope that a settlement could be reach- ed by direct negotiation. Baron Kato and Minister Sze voiced appreciation of the kindly offices of Mr. Hughes and Mr. Balfour, after which these two fonclllntol'l withdrew from the meet- ng. Oficial Statement. The official statement issued cover- ing the proceedings follows: “The ~conversations between the Chinese and Japanese delegates re- lating to the Shantung question, ar- ranged through the good offices of Mr. Hughes and Mr. Balfour, com- menced this afternoon at 3 o'ciock in the conference room of the Pan-Amer- ican building. “The meeting on the-part of China was attended by Dr. Sze, Dr. Koo and Dr. Wang, accompanied by Mr. Tyau, Gen. Wang, Mr. Hsu, Mr. Cho and Mr. Kuo; on the part of Japan by Baron Kato, Mr. Hanihara, Mr. Debuchi, ac- companied by Mr. Saburi, Mr. Kimura, Mr. Saito and Mr. Shiratori. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Balfour, accompanied by _Sir John Jordan, Miles Lampson, J. V. A. MacMurray and Edward Bell, opened the meeting and retired, leav- ing the above-named American and British representatives to assist at the sessions. Questions of Precedure. “The meeting discussed questions of procedure and decided to issue a com- munique at the end of each meeting. The next meeting will be held in the !n.m(e‘ building at 3:30 p.m. Friday next.” LARGE SHIP YARDS MAY CLOSE DOWN Face Actual Liquidation Un- less Congress Provides Pri- vate Ship Subsidy. Unless Congress at its next session enacts legislation providing for a pri- vate ship subsidy, the larger ship- building yards in this country will be forced to liquidate and go out of busi- ness if the ten-year naval holiday plan being discussed by the arms confer- ence is finally adopted. This is the firm belief of some high officials, who are advisers of the Pr ident. According to them, it is p able that the President will in ‘Bis message to Congress next Monday' get ASK HEARING AT PARLEY. Filipinos Would Be Consulted in Matters Affecting Islands. Governor General Wood of the Philip- pines has forwarded to the War De- partment a resolution adopted by the Philippine legislature commending the Washington conference and requesting that whenever questions concerning the Philippines are involved the accredited representatives at Washington of the Philippine government shall be called into council. MOTHERS PUSHING Stickers and “S.0.S.” Post- ers to Be Used in Cam- FIGHT AGAINST WAR forth his ideas for the apparent neces- sity for greatly increasing the mer- chant marine and the furnishing of government ald to private industries engaged in the building and operation of ships. This subsidy, or aid, it is pointed out, is especially essential re. garding the building of more high- speed merchant boats to make it pos- sible for this country to compare in any way favorably with the high- speed boats now carrying the flags of Great Britain and Japan. At the present !h%e the high-speed boats, those of more than twelve knots, flying the American flag are estimated at at least 38 per cent lower than the number being oper- ated by Great Britain. It is known that Chairman Lasker of the United States Shipping Board is of somewhat the same opinion as these other government officials who are urging the provision for a sub- sidy, and that he recently has gone over the matter several times with President Harding. Following a con- ference with the President yesterday, Mr. Lasker said that he discussed this matter with him and that he inci- dentally obtained the President’s O. K. on the prepared speech Mr. Lasker is to make in Milwaukee very shortly, in which he will comment upon the effect the proposed naval holiday will have on the shipbuilding industry in America, and also the necessity for the proposed subsidy and an increase in the number of high-speed mer- chant boats.

The American advisory committee to the limitation of -arms con- ference is solidly backing the Amer- ican proposal for limitation of arma- ment, it was made clear yesterday by Chairman Sutherland of that commit- tee.

These re- ports were prepared at the request of } Secretary Hughes, head of the Amer-!{ ican delegation, and contain a mass of information. They were not made public. The adoption of a report by the committee on submarines, prepared by Admiral Rodgers, was taken to in- dicate there is no divergence of views between the civilians of the commit- tee and the naval officers as to the legitimate use of submarines in naval warfare. The committee’s report on the eco- nomic and {ndustrial questions in- volved in the proposed ten-year naval holiday was understood to indicate that it is almost impossible to cal- culate its effect, here or abroad. in tangible flgures.
