UBSLLOYDGEORGE GREATLITTLEWAN Gibes at Prime Minister Call- ed Favorite Pastime of London Paper. BY EDWARD PRICE BELL. By Cable 1o The Star and Chicago Daily News, Copyright, 1 LONDON, January 27.—One of the {favorite pastimes of the piquant and Ilrcnchunt Morning Post _in . these rather warm political days in Eng- land is that of writing and publish- ing editorials about Prime Minister| Lloyd George and his panegyrist of the Sunday Observer, Editor Garvin. “The Russian ballet is going to Genoa,” remarks the Post. “It is a bappy inspiration. We cannot yet say whether the idea emanates from }‘the great little man.’ It is possible, of course, that Lloyd George may be ! as innocent of the proposal as he Iwas of those extraordinary stories about the imminence of a general election. He may say, ‘I never started jthe idea’ but if he pleads guilty, then we may expect the usual dithy- ram next Sunday Divinution “Superhuman.” Never, we may read, has Lloyd Grorge given a more amazing illus- | tration of his almost superbuman di- | vination. He is undoubtedly the one commanding figure in Europe. In Europe? Nay, in the world. He har summoned the Russian ballet to Genoa. What a move! What states- manship! Al that we prophesied about the prime minister four weeks ago has been more than fulfilled.’ I “Yes, it is a move. For after last Saturday’s speech there was a general impression that the convention in Genoa was going to be a very austere affair, concerned only with high economics, high purposes and high rhetoric.

Excuses for | non-attendance have been pouring in and it really looked as if the only | participants would be Lloyd George, the | bolsheviki, the Germans, tae Czecho- islovaks and our gallant aliies from Central Americ: “May Work Wonder: “But the visit of the Russian ballet may work wonders.

C. FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1922. SAYS FRANCE CUTS NAVY TO THE LIMIT Meets Two Great Principles of Arms Conference, Ad- miral de Bon Declares. By the Ansociated Press, 5W YORK. Junuary 27.—Contend- ing that France “has micl two great principles of the conference tor the reduction and limitation of naval armament,” Admiral de Bon, French delegate to the armament conference, told members of the Franco-Ameri- can Maritime and Colonial League that a further naval reduction would seriously threaten the existence of France's colonial possessions. Admiral de Bon, principal speaker before the league, made an exhaus- tive analysis of the conference pro- ceeding in_ his defense of the French position. The submarine question, he ared, was used “rather unfairly 4 the starting point of the ‘deplor- £ble press campaign which was open- ed against France.” Limit on Naval Tonnage. France, he said, had proposed to limit its naval tonnage as follows: Capital ships, 175,000; cruisers and N o light craft, 330,000, and submarines, 90,000. “If those numbers haye not greed to.” he said, “they are in total ery like those proposed by the Amer- ican program, and I cannot see any serious reason why the other nation have not accepted these limits, thes last numbers being the irreducibl He then quoted naval other nations at the show, that his nation would be left with” inadequate sea protection were she to accept the Hughes proposals in toto. “It was proposed to limit France o thirty submarines,” hecontinued. ‘That means that but six submarines {me would have been available c v, as the accepted ratio shows that five underwater boats are necessary to keep one in service, France needs about a score of sub- marines to protect its interests, which means that we cannot ve lass than ninety undersea boats.’ Would Bulld Forty Submarines. France has now fifty submarines, he said; she wants to build forty more. He maintained that the French have now ten capital ships, and that, while France does not want to undertake new construction of capital ships, “she considers she will have to re- them in proportion as they die tonnage of out. He quoted figures to show that the war left France's navy in a sadly in- adequate state, while those of Eng- land, Japan and the United States were not to be considered in com- parison. “France,” he declared, the sec- ond colonial power in the world, and far ahead of those that come next. So she must have a fleet to keep her in the inhabifants of her colonies, to insure their safety and for the maintenance of her economic interest, to which she must more than ever, apply all her endeavors.” —_— QUESTION SUSPECT. Italian Held for Investigation in Connection With Bomb Threat. An Italian suspected of having sent the message to Mrs. Louis P. Gattl 736 5th strect, threatening to blow up r home unless she turned over $15,000 to him, was closely questioned by 'Inspector Grant. chief of detec- tives, yesterday at police headquarters. The man is being held for investigation. The two boys, Romeo Stellota, 505 Massachusetts avenue, and Stanley Petrone, 416 I strect, who delivered the black hand letter to Mrs. Gatti, were brought to police headquarters, but failed to identify the man as the one who gave them the letter last Thursday night to deliver at the Gat- ti home. The suspect, weeping pro- fusely, protested his innocence. Inspector Grant said that the Ital- ian admitted being in the neighbor- hood of the Gatti home last Thurs- day night, but was there to keep a date with his girl. The suspect, the inspector said, probably will be re- leased, as the police have not suffi- cient evidence to hold him. CHECK PUT ON WAR TALK. Arthur D. Call Praises Arms Par- ley Achievements. Arthur Deerin Call, secretary of the American Peace Soclety, praised the achievements of the Washington conference in working toward ‘a limitation of arms last night in an address before the Washington Salon and United Arts Society at the Play- house, 1814 N street northwest. Mr. Call gave as examples of note- worthy accomplishment the various resolutions ,and policies already agreed on or pending, mentioning the naval ratio, the submarine proposals, aircraft- limitation and opposition to poison gas. “The adoption of the four-power pact by the conference as a whole] has already lessened the talk of war between Japan and the United States," the speaker said. “It will be passed by the Senate, slightly changed, per- haps, but passed it will be.” Three elements of hope in the con- ference, according to Mr. Call, are the dbsence of selfish motives, the tendency toward mutual co-operation and the determination to establish a balance between right and duty. ASKS MILLIONS FOR SHIPS Secretary Denby- Says Funds Are );Ioeded to Finish Cruisers. Seven scout cruisers now under con- struction cannot be completed unless additional funds ire appropriated by Congress, Secretary Dapby informed Congress yesterday in‘a letter re- questing that the limit of cost of each vessel be increased from $7,600,000 to $8,250,000. ‘Work on the Omaha, on which con-. struction is most advanced, will be stopped next month, the Becretary said, unless the cost limit is increased, while construction on the others will cease when avallable funds are ex- hausted. The faflure of cost of materials and labor to slump to the extent that been expected when estimates were made was given by Mr. Denby as the explanation for the department's in- ability to stay within the cost limits.

' BY WILLIAM R. GILES. (Special Correspondence of Chicago Daily % | PEKING, China, December 28.—The| affairs of China have received con- siderable attention at the Washington conference, and, although the Chinese are far from satisfled with what their delegates have obtained, those who have made a close study of China’s internal affairs consider that she has recelved much more than she could| reasonably have expected. It must be remembered that the Chinese dele- gates appeared at the conference as repregentative of only part of China. i the provinces in the south, under con itrol of the Canton government, re fusing to be bound by any agreement the northern delegates might make. The delegation’s position was weak- ened also by the fact that the govern- ment, or what pretends,to be a gov- ernment, was divided against itself, two strong military parties being practically at daggers drawn. The members of the cabinet are the nominees of one or the other of the leaders of these factions, the majority of them being under control of Gen Chang Tso-lin, better known as the Mukden war lord, and the strongest man in China. Besides this the gov-| ernment is in a state of bankruptey, being unable to meet a number of its foreign and domestic financial obliga- tions. Tax Collections Meager. In addition a state of civil war exists, and in nearly every province there are disorders due to armed robberv. In only a few provinces is it possible for the government to exert its authority or to collect taxes. Officials of the various gov- ernment agencies have threatened to go on strike unless their arrears of pay are met. The police of Peking intended to strike unless the government set aside a certain amount of money monthly to insure that they would be paid prompt- Iy~ Officers and men of the army and navy also made threats of mutiny un- less they were given the pay long over- due, while a large force of men threat- ened to march on Peking unless they were paid.

His physician is advising com- plete suspension of work for the moment. of such a character that they are in no way fit to be applied to foreigners. There are undoubtedly some foreign- trained judges who would deal out justice in accordance with Xorelgnl iaws and procedure, but they are so few that they cannot be taken into consideration. China had an excellent opportunity to prove to the world that she was| capable. of affording protection to for- eign life apd property when she abol- ished the extraterritorial rights of the Russians. But, given this opportunity, What did she do? She abused the Rus- sians in every way, and all the'news- papers not under the control of the government daily recounted the fact. In the Chinese Eastern railway zone the ; Russians were thrown into prison and | kept there without trial for many months. In Harbin, the great Man- churian port, conditions were worse. The prisons are crowded and sickness | and disease have brcken out. Many of the victims are rich merchants who were arrested with an idea of forcing money from them. In numerous in- stances these men have been tortured. ‘The Chinese police and soldiery insult | and illtreat the Russlans on every oc- casion, and the Russians, knowing they have no means of redress, have to put up with it. This treatment is what all foreign- thereby throwing Peking into_.a panic. the other is still unable to cash its notes. In connectiop with the closing of these two banks, the government, with the ob- ject of being able to say that the banks had not closed their doors, resorted to a ruse typically Chinese. Day and night the doors of the banks were wide open. This permitted the directors to say that the banks had not closed their doors, but they did not mention the barricades, de- fensed by strong_forces of soldiery, at the entrances to the streets which led to the banks and prevented any one from getting near. Post Offices and Tariff. That China had a right to expect the Washington conference to -deal with her in a sympathetic mannenand assist her to regain certain s®vereign rights, to take steps to prevent fur- ther-aggressions on her and to agree to certain modifications of treaty ob- ligations into which she had been forced -on account of the military strength of those who forced them pon her, was recognized by all for- eigners in this country, including the Japanese. It was felt by all that the efficlency of the present postal sys- tem in China entitled her to have the control of postal matters in her own hands and that the time for the withdrawal of the post offices of other countries had ‘arrived. Considering the vastness of this country, the Chi- nese post office is bne of the most wonderful in the world. R 1t is also considered that the raising of the customs tariff to a higher rate is only fit and proper. The present b er cent which China is allowed to charge in accordance with'her.trea- ties. with foreign powers is undoub! edly unjust. China has the right to expect that she will be allowed to fix her 6wn customs duties on the same basis that all the other powers do. Then no one disputes the right o China to control all wireless stations in this country. It would be rank injustice to refuse the Chinese the same privileges that the other coun- tries claim for themselves. To these and similar contentions put forward by the Chinese the foreign- ers in China raise no opposing voice. There is one exoception, however, and that is in relation to the abolition of extraterritoriality. This opposition is not voiced by one section of the for- elgn community in China, but by. all. It is not dominated by any anti-Chi- nese feeling or any desire to belittle the dignity of China or to interfere with her sovereign rights; it is domi- ted by the sense of self-preserva- tion.
