A Lover of Pictures. “Do you get much pleasure out of your splendid art collection?” “No,” said Mr. Cumrox, candfdly. “If I have any spare time I don’t waste it gazing at paint and canvas. Igoto see a film.” “When I hears a man lecturin’ 'bout de ’sponsibilities- foh street cleanin’,” said Uncle Eben, “I ain’ got time to lsten. But when I sees one shovelin’ of the tides of world opinion. For exampie, the Indianapolis News (independent) recalls the fact that ‘the allied and associated powers— including even America—were every- | where, for a time, supporting those ! who were fighting bolshevism,” und i that “there was a general feeling of thankfulness at the time that there was in the east such a strong power ag Japan, a power capable of resist- ing the spread of bolshevism. The policy of Japan was nothing more than that of the allied powers.” Like- wise the Minnesota Star (independ- ent) sees no reason, “if the charges are true, why they should excite spe- ¢lal animosity against France and Japan. Our government is proposing to place its seal of approval upon a similar international agreement. Great Britain and Japan during the war concluded a secret dlvision of the Spoils of the Pacific. Now the four- power treaty asks the United States fo underwrite the splitting of the loot.” The Knoxville Sentinel (independ- ent democratic), while disposed “at first blush to dismiss the charges,” feels that “France has been so unre- liable and preposterous in all of her dealings with the other powers in the arms conference—her methods have been so calculating, clandestine apd uncandid—" and believes her dis- position “may account for Japan hav- ing been led into it.” On the other hand, the Waterbury Republican (re- publican) thinks “it does not matter whether or not Japan is there with French support; the important thing is that Japan is there and she seems likely to stay there, so far as any action by the conference will serve to oust her.” This view fails to dis- turb the Buffalo Express (independent republican), which thinks that, since “the Russians.have little more than an imperialistic claim” on Siberia, “if the Japanese are willing to undertake the responsibilities of a protectorate over eastern Siberia, a resolution or treaty conferring it upon them might be a very wise step for the Wash- ington conference to take.” “The virtue of the Chita ‘revelations,’” - the opinion of the Des Moines Regis- ter (independent republican), “is that they do give us sharply again a icture of the unfixed state of things in the east,” but it feels that “there is no reason why we should be in- fluenced in our attitude toward either France or Japan as friendly nations.” There seems to be a general de- mand for further information on the points covered in the allegation, since, as the Philadelphia Public Ledger (independent) says, “a few deter- mined and reckless French and a handful of equally reckless Japanese militarists” might “give the soviets a new lease of life by furnishing them with & new invader to fight, and _the Grand Rapids Press (ind pendent) feels' tlh:.t lhalr( "lch:;‘n‘ does not_“greatly vary from their e oward Russia.” The e (independent demo- that the charges ‘“con- tain so much that is‘ plausible, so much in line with accepted French land Japanese policy,” that “it is im- portent to remember” that “the big questions relating to China and Si- beria, upon which peace in the far east depends, have not been an- swered” that “dllusions on that yare out of place.” “It is curious that with® tha.conference nearing its end the Siberian question remains in | .
