Tokio, July 2.—Relations with the United States and China continue to be the basis of opposition attacks on the government in the diet. Ketaro Muchizuk contended in parliament turday that a grave misunderstand- ng exists between Japan and the United States, owing to ambiguity of Japan’s Chinese policy, many Ameri- cans suspecting an intention to sub- jugate the Chinese and to exploit’ their resources. M; Mochizuki suggested that the difficulties might be removed if Ja- pan negotiated with the United States to exchange Japan’s newly acquired South Sea Islands for the Philippines. Viscount Motono, the foreign min- ister, declared relations with the United States were never friendlier understanding exists between the two governments: THREATENED WITH FATE OF PETROSINI olom ifily.

Brewers ‘in - the Final Hour.” Washington, July 2.—Virgil Hin- shaw, chairman of the national com- mittee of the prohibition "party, to- day issued a statement attacking President’ Wilson in asking prohibi- tion’ leaders not to delay passage of the food control bill by insisting on retention of the provisions affecting the manufacture of beer and light wines. “We would undoubtedly have'na- tional prohibition within thirty days,”’ sald Mr. Hinshaw, “were it not for the interference of Woodrow Wilson coming to the rescue of the ‘brewers in the final hours. “If his purpose had been to speed legislation he would not have sug- gested a course involving the action of the entire lower house excepting five members. ‘““He may lead the economic forces, but he cannot lead the moral forces henceforth.” The Anti-Saloon League’s legisla- tive committee, in response to Pres- ident Wilson’s request, agreed not to press for prohibition of beer and light wines, in connection with the food bill but would work for the en- actment of such legislation later on. The senate contest aver prohibition ‘was complicated somewhat today when the agricultural committee endorsed Senator Gore’s substitute stopping dis- tillation of beverages and giving the president authority to suspend manu- facture of beer and wines.
