By the Associated Press. ‘There was a complete air of doubt in both official and diplomatic circles here today as to the future course which the United States will take in the matter of participation in the German repara~ tions question. The recent statement of President Hoover, that the United States would not be a signatory of the Young plan, which was agreed upon in Paris by the reparations experts, appeared to be the principal point which those opposed to future participation in the reparations question by the United States were em- phasizing in their discussions.

TOKIO, June 26.—In an unusually strained atmosphere the privy council, presided over by the Emperor, today finally approved the Kellogg anti-war pact. The approval was given without res- ervations, but an interpretative declara- tion was attached regarding the hotly contested phrase, “in the name of their respective peoples,” which, according to many members of the privy councll, | violated the Emperor’s constitutional | prerogative. It was understood Count Uchida, who signed the pact in Paris, strongly contested the necessity of attacking either reservation —or interpretative | declaration, but he was overruled.

JAPAN.LAST TO SIGN. Pact Becomes in Full Force When Rati- fication Is Deposited. By the Associated Press. News of the approval by the Japanese privy council of the Kellogg treaty for the renunciation of war was received in American Oo‘mvemmnt circles with a irit of rejolcing. w-hp‘n is the last of the 15 original tory powers to ratify the and the document will come into as soon as the Japanese instrument of | ratification is deposited in the archives | of the State Department here as pre- scribed in the treaty itself. ‘The pact embraces action, or intended action, by virtually every nation of the world to renounce war as a national licy. Only Argentina and Brazil E:ve not signed their intention to adhere to the pact out of all of the na- tions which were invited to do so. Suggested by Briand. This new move toward world peace now promises to become an actual fact in a little more than two years after the first suggestion for the renuncia- tion of war was made by Foreign Min- ister Briand of Prance in a message sent through the Associated Press to the American people April 6, 1927, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the entrance of the United States into the World War. Frank B. Kellogg, the then Secretary of State, foresaw in the suggestion a hope for the advancement of a great ideal and shortly thereafter negotia- tions were opened in Paris among 15 of the principal nations. Even though the treaty, as a Tesult of the delayed Japanese action, has not come into force it already has been adopted as a national policy by the United States. President Hoover in his Memorial day address said that “if this agreement is to fulfill its high pur- pose, we and other nations must ac- cept its consequences; we must clothe faith and idealism with action.” President’s Statements. “We believe,” the President’ con- tinued, “the time has come when we must know whether the pact we have signed is real, whether we are con- demned to further and more extensive naval construction. Limitation upward is not now our goal, but actual reduc- ;dnn of existing commitments to lower evels.” The President added that this treaty means an ndonment of the agres- sive use of arms. Hugh S. Gibson, American Ambas- sador to Belgium, and head of the American delegation to the Preparatory Disarmament Commission at Geneva. emphasized at the recent meeting of the commission the necessity of its ap- plication to the disarmament problem and similar sentiments now are being expressed both here and abroad in con- nection with the naval conversations.

Although Mr. the President was merely to 9-5 respects and did not divulge the nature of their conversation, he talked freely of the Virginia political situation after leaving the Executive Office. Predicting that the Republicans in State convention would nominate Prof. Mosely Brown of Washington and Lee University, for governor, Mr. Slemp said that it had been arranged by anti- Smith Democratic leaders and Repub- lican leaders in the State about a month ago to join in the nomination of Prof. Brown to head the State ticket. Prof, Brown was nominated for governor by ihe anti-Smith Democrats at the recent convention in Roanoke. Mr. Slemp said that in his opinion the anti-Smith Democrats and Repub- licans would be able to elect Prof. Brown.

Appearing in the interest of beet sugar producers, Mr. Jardine said it was “sound public policy to maintain a reasonable amount of sugar produc- tion in this country,” and that a higher tariff would permit an expansion of a crop of which there was no surplus and no prospect of a surplus from domestic roduction. ; He said he regarded the House duty of 240 cents a pound on Cuban raw sugar as against the present rate of 176 a fair tariff. “Give us a duty that will bring 6- cent sugar,” he said, “and the Western farmer $8 or $8.50 a ton and we will show you how to produce more sugar 100,000 Producers.
