Sir Launce understood the appeal, and
answered, "They shall not suffer from

There was another attentive listener to

was John Jenkins.

Count Aoki If time permits will look

doing this earlier in the year and had

Retiring Diplomat Says He Is Going to

Report to His Government - lmmi-

Washington, Dec. Ain the with
drawal of Ambassador Aoki from the
United States President Roosevelt has
accomplished another diplomatic tri-
umph and has brought nearer than
ever the surety of lasting peace be-
tween the United States and Japan.
1t was to bring about this that AM
bassador O'Brien was sent to Tokyo.
The very last element necessary to
round out the presidents success will
be the appointment Of Baron Kentaro
Kaneko, one of the foremost diplomats
of the japanese empire and an old
time friend of Mr.. Roosevelt.
II for personal reasons Kaneko win
not come some other Japanese diplo-
mat agreeable to the president will be
appointed, and as an international to-
ken of amity the American battleship
fleet will return from the Pacific ocean
by way of the Philippines and Japan.
There is the highest authority for
this statement and for the further
statement that the immigration ques-
ton between. the two nations would
have been settled long ago only for
the old fashioned Japanese notions of
Aoki, the ambassador In Washington.

washington, Dec. 4.-Never have the
leaders found themselves in greater
quandary concerning legislation than
they were at the converting of the
Eixtieth congress. Little except the
financial situation is engaging the at
tention of any representative or sena-
tor, and all members of both houses,
whether leaders or followers, confess
their inability to forecast what may be
done. There is a general division
along party lines, but there is also a
great divergence OF views among both
Republicans and Democrats, 1t is evil

The most important man outside Of

in the house of representatives over
topped that of Speaker Cannon and

nine columns of newspaper type. 1t
advocates many radical reforms, most
Of which Mr.. Roosevelt urged in pre-
vious messages or public addresses.
The president plunges at once into
the late financial trouble. Declaring
that fundamentally there Is nothing
wrong in business conditions, he holds
that dishonesty In certain quarters
alone was primarily responsible and
that the people themselves precipitated
the money stringency by foolishly
boarding their savings instead Of keep
ing them in sound banks.
He emphasizes the need Of "unfinch-
ing perseverance in the war against
successful dishonesty and calls for
legislation to insure more elastic cur
rency. He suggests provisions for an
emergency issue Of currency by the
banks, subject to heavy tax to make
certain it's withdrawal when the de-
mand for it is past and thus guard
against imitation.
A strikingly radical suggestion Is for
government appropriation to meet
legitimate campaign expenses by the
