Recently one of them was seen on the streets of Athens wheeling a baby carriage. He was a handsome Cos- sack colonel and his sturdy build, martial air and fine features made him a conspicuous figure. His charge, a rosy-cheeked baby belonging to a wealthy Athenian family, took evident relight in its stalwart, good natured nurse, who showed the youngster as much care and affection as the most devoted mother. The servant problem does not ex- ist in Athens. At least the Greek housekeeper has no such difficulties in this respect as her sister in America, for she can always fill the places of malids, cooks and kitchen-hands with WORL DS LARGEST SHOE RETAILERS 413-415 Main St. Ladies’ Brown Tennis Oxfords Ladies’ Brown Hi-Tennis Shoes ..

U. S. TRADE SHOULD HAVE PROTECTION Firms Doing Business in China Need It Cleveland, O., May 6.—The argu- ment presented some fifteen years ago in support of federal incorporation for companies doing. business entire- ly inside of the United States, also apply today in support of federal in- corporation for companies doing bus- iness entirely outside of the United States and between foreign counties and the United States, J. B. Powell, honorary member of the American Chamber of Commerce told the Na- tional Foreign Trade council today. “Since China is a great undevel- oped country, he said, “and prob- ably our greatest potential trade field, it is natural that the attention of congress should be directed toward lcsilation calculated to place -our ruccchants in that field upon an equal footing with our competitors. Other nations which have preceded us in China have already taken this action years ago and have obtained strong foothold there. “If congress does not come b our assistance and enact legislation to place us on an even footing without strong competitors, our trade out there is almost certain to return to its unimportant position of before the war. “Our trade with China has not been healthy for the reason that we buy more from China than we sell to China. China is a great market for machinery and for practically all line of manufactured articles produced in America, but we can’t sell enough out there to even balance our purchases of Chinese raw products. What fur- ther argument do we need for legis- lation that will enable our manu- facturers to go to China, and ' sell their products on an even bagis with the manufacturers of other nations? “At present if an American manu- facturer desires to operate in China the only method open to him at the present time would be té incorporate under one of the 48 states or under some territorial law. The point is, he is bound down to a state or ter- ritorial charter and none of them are adapted to foreign trade pur- poses and when enacted were not in- tended for that purpose. He would probably end up by selecting some state where the regulations are lax, or “liberal” to say the least, and as a result his company will have no prestige or standing because of abuses which have been perpetrated under the state charter selected. In his business development abroad he would be forced to compete with British, French, Japanese and Ger- man companies, companies with known regulations, known especially by bankers and companies that have been surrounded by all the impor- tance and prestige which these vari- ous foreign governments have been able to bestow. “All state incorporations are sub- ject to the national income and ex- cess profits taxation measures of the nztional government. The first handi- cap that this brings is naturally in competing with British, French, Jap- anese and German companies which have been released by their home governments from the operation of home income and excess profits tax- ation. If you are paying heavy taxes and your four big competitors across the street do not pay any taxcs at all you are going to have a hard time meeting the competition. “Chinese business men are friend- ly toward Americans. But their friendship naturally does not extend to the length that they desire to pay taxes to the American government at Washington. British, Japanese, French and German business in China was built up largely by firms of these various nationalitigs, through the use of local Chinese capital and native business skill. The British government in its far sighted trade plans has felt that the big thing was the trade that would keep her big home industries running; not the small amount of revenue that might be obtained by taxing her foreign firms to death. America on the oth- er hand believes it is more important to obtain a few thousand of dollars by drawing taxes from her companies away out in China, than it would be to give them certain advantages that would make up in hundreds of ways in the resulting markets for our goods. It's a penny wise, pound fool- ish policy. “The China Trade Act as it passed the house during the last session of congress and as it still stands in the present congress provides relief in the two essential particulars. “In the larger field of world poli- tics, I believe there is more than mere trade in this matter. I believe it is intimately associated with the future general peace and prosperity of the Far East—yes, and the whole world too!™ Strictly fresh native eggs, 2% doz. Russell Bros.—advt.

Holyoke |MAKINO QUESTIORS | LANSING'S REARKS Denies daps Refused to Sign Treaty Terms Tokio, May 6.—Viscount Makino, Japanese delegate to the peace con- ference, takes exception to state- ments of Former Secretary of State J.ansing, made in the ex-secretary's recent book concerning the attitude of Japan at the conference. As quoted in the Asahi Shimbun, Viscount Makino, commenting on cabled resumes of the book, says that Japan did not force President Wil- son’s hand, regarding Shantung by threatening to bolt the conference, as did TItaly. “There were wild ! rumors abroad in Paris to that effect lat the time, he says, “there threats | being to the effect that Japan would !not join the League of Nations, but | these were mere rumors and Japan's | real actions had nothing to do with ! them.” Mr. ‘Lansing’s statements that Ja- pan attempted to force the adoption of the racial equality clause by an- rouncing a decision to refuse to sign the peace treaty is alsc denied by the Japanese peace delegate. The del- egates of all the powers represented, says Viscount Makino, had no othcr idea than tc secure the best peace . possible and such guarantee as would ! make secure the peace of the world, and anything in the nature of a threat from anyone could not be tolerated. “The question regarding Shantung and that regarding racial equality |cannot be treated in the same light,” ! made by ! he says. *“The statement Mr. Lansing in this connection is probably only his own misconception, as he was not ing at which the final decision garding Shantung was arrived at. i “The Japanese delegates had twice interviewed President Wilson in this matter between April 21 and April .30, and, after the matter had twice i been submitted to the four power i conference the agfeement regarding | Shantung was arranged. ‘not being the highest representative {of America, did not take part in these meetings and his statements regard- {ing Shantung are only his own ideas ;of what took place.” Viscount Makino denies flatly that ;he and Count Chinda had an inter- view with Mr. Lansing, while the viscount dénies any knowledge of any member of the Japanese dele- gation ever hinting at a possible rup- re- present at the meet- | Mr. Lansing, | ture between Japan and Awmel ,event of the Japanese dema |ing rejected, as stated in the ' memoirs. i Many heated discussions tool in the conference, says the vi !\with cach delegation attempt ‘carry its own points, but no ¢ tion ever descended to the I making threats.
