OLD AGE PENSIONS
French Chambers Agree to Push
Com promise Measure.

Paris. March 21-FTnding that the continued op-
position OF the Senate to the workmen's old age
pension bill passed by the Chamber in 1906 prom
postpone indefinitely the realization of this
social reform. which the radical wing of the
French Republicans has been promising for years,
the chambers have finally consented to the prin-
cple OF a compromise and have voted q resolution
serving notice that this compromise must become
law before the expiration of the present year.
The schsme of workmen's pensions is one Of the
cardinal principles Of French Socialism. Like the
German scheme, it is based the theory that i'm
providence is social evil and that the state
should compel the workmen to put aside part of
their earnings to provide for their old age The
responsibility of the state the aged and de-
crepit recognized in the law OF 1895. providing
for aid 10 persons more than seventy years old
who infrm, incapacitated incurabIe More
than so 900 persons benefited from this law last
year receiving about 81 oo0,0O0 To the long delay
in realizing the workmen's pension scheme is at
tributed the increase of revolutionary agitation
among the laboring classes The Senate thus far
has been able successfully fight the bill by rails
ing the spectre of the tremendous charge it would
impose not only industry but the public
treasury. By the terms Of the bill workmen
per cent of their wages and the employers
a like percentage during period of thirty years.
thus creating fund from which the workman
thereafter is TO receive annual minimum pension
OF s72. The state is to contribute only when the
forced savings of the workmen do not create
fund large enough 10 furnish a pension of that
amount Figures as what this would involve in
the way Of state liability differ widely, for stats
tics of wages earned are hazy.
On the PRONUNCIATION Of the law il is proposed 10
grant annual pensions to all workmen more than
sixty who have worked thirty years, and then
gradually increase the scale of pensions of those
graduating" each succeeding year until at the
end thirty years all will receive at least $72-
The number Of persons who would be entitled to
receive pensions the first year varies according to
the estimates from 1,05.6oo 10 160o0, and the
states liability in the beginning varies from S2S,
900 100000. The liability after the scheme
is in permanent operation is fixed approximately
at SIS e1non. The Chamber has agreed to the prin-
ciple Of absolutely limiting the liability
for the present to $50 0o.ooo year. and it IS
lieved that the results will promptly justify the
ful; realization OF the scheme.

'heimin' classification longer existed, since
it was to-day we'll understood that those hav-

M TARDIEU'S VIEWS ON JAPAN.

Paris March g.-The Temps publishes to-day

Jauanese Ambassador to the United States. to its
foreign editor, Andre Tardieu. NJ. Tardeu re-
turned .aere A few days from America. where
he had interviews with a number of prominent
persons including President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Taft. Baron Takahra expressed the opinion
to NJ Tardieu that the pending immigration agree
nnent between Japan and the United States would
put A complete stop to the movement of japanese
coolies into California we'll as regulate the
emigration to Hawaii in a satisfactory manner.
NJ Tardeu. speaking for himself. says that al
though there is chance at present of confilct
between Japan and the United States the lmIn-
grafton question has been solved. because Japan
does not recognize the right of the United States
to restrain her emigration. and, therefore. the
r,ast,on NAV later serve as basis or pretext
for new difficulties. NJ Tardieu also draws atten-
ton to the fact that the understanding with japan
is not satisfactory California.

BRITISH CLAIM CREDIT.
Infer Foreign Office Caused Jap0ns
Irritation to Fleet.
Especial by French Cable 10 The Tribune

Iccp,risht 1905 by The Tribune Association
London. March 21.-More important than the
Gull echoes Of Admiralty indiscretions is the
announcement from Washington that the Amer
ican feet is going to Japan for a friendly call.
The journals here are quick to infer that the
British Foreign Office has brought about the of-
fetal invitation from Toxic. but this is prema-
ture and probably unwarrantable.
The cruise of the American fleet to Yokohama
will put an end to a long season of silly talk
about unfrendly relations between America ana
Japan.
The two governments have respected each
other and have been conciatory, and have
never needed the good offices Of British diplo-
macy
A more disturbing topic Of press discussion is
what THE Daily Telegraph calls restrictive
ukase proclaimed in Ottawa against emigration
from the mother country. The prohibition OF
emigrants assisted by public money or charity
organizations is resented here d affront to
England and the Dominion government Is
charged with haggling in the political market
and making peace with the trade unions, which
do not want the superior class of mechanics and
farmers to enter Canada. 1t gives the Church,
the army and various organizations which have
been transplanting English workers to Canada a
queer feeling TO be legislated against as though
they were japanese or Chinese providers of con-
tract labor. /. N F.

JAPAN TO RAISE TAXES
Figures Submitted to Peers Sho1O
Necessity Of This.

Toxic Feb 1-The government has just sub
mitted to the Budget Committee Of the House
of Peers figures which help greatly TO a better
understanding of the somewhat complicated fnan-
cial situation. They indicate the actual estimated
revenue ana expenditure for each year independ-
emily on special provisions From them it is seen
that the financial authorities admit that under
ordinary circumstances, and without recourse TO
special measures the revenues likely de-
cline together with the expenditures The first ad-
mission demonstrates a conservative attitude. and
the latter is accounted for by the graduated
duction in the volume of outlays ornaments
according 10 programme designed to extend over
eleven years. On the assumption that the finance
department is anywhere within the mark as far
at its revenue figures are concerned. the urgent
necessity for some form of increased taxation must
be admitted. and 1t is from this source and the
estimated additional revenue that 1t is proposed
TO meet the annual deficits.
The surplus of 4Oooo.Oo0-odd yen given for tbs
1903 GO year does not actually refer 70 that year.
during which deficit Of II 900, ,ooo-odd yen is anci
pated. but is an alleged surplus dating from 1907

(Which. however it should be noted, is composed
of borrowed money! and the Russian prisoners

tions had been made for the main and supplement-
sry budgets of 1907 and 1903. there remained the
above sum of 10000, ,0o0-odd yen, which will be
