ASQUITH APPEALS
 FOR INCREASE IN
 WAR MUNITIONS
British Prime Minister Addresses W0rkmen, Urging Them to Speed Up in Present
 Output

Newcastle, Eng April 2o.-(e:4o D. m9 The British prime minister, Herbert H. Asquith, who often has had to gloss over statements of his cabinet colleagues, in an appeal tonight to worlmen of the northeast coast to speed up the output of war munitions. refrained from reference to the drink question and declared there had been no slackness on the part of either the employees or the employers.
 Greater effort was needed, he said, be- cause an enormous quantity of ammuni- tion was being expended and because re- cruiting among the workers had drawn from the ranks of skilled labor. The pre- mier foreshadowed the enlargement of plants and the utilization of factories otherwise engaged to do government work.
 The appeal was addressed almost as much to the employers as to the men. although the meeting was for the work CTS, and the manufacturers were told in plain terms that they must not expect to make undue profits from government contracts.
 The prime minister was repeatedly cheered. He will visit armament works on the Tyne tomorrow.

 Sir Edward Greys statement of a simi- lar character. in the British Parliament today. officials believe. means that Great Britain's position has undergone no change and that the people of the open door will continue to ny the aim of the powers.
 The Japanese government has given as surances that it is not it's purpose to vio- late either the open door policy or policy or Chinas territorial integrity How far its present demands on China may be considered as infringing on these prin- ciples can be answered only by knowl- edge of the details of the negotiations something officials here are unwilling to discuss because of the injunction of secrecy placed on the matter by the Japanese government.
 Officials here appear optimistic over the progress of the negotiations, indicating a belief that the difficulties at Picking may be adjusted satisfactorily without requir- ing further diplomatic correspondence be- tween the United States and Japan.

ADMIRAL PEARYS
 RECENT SPEECH IS. CRITICIZED BY BRYAN.
Officer Seems to Enjoy Indulging in His Imagina- tion, Says Secretary
 of State

Washington, April 2O.-Seeretary Bryan said today that before criticizing Rear Admiral Pearys recent speech on possible territorial expansion of the United sta Fss Re had written the ad- mral for verife4tion of his remarks. and received an authenticated copy Mir. Bryans comment on the speech, as given out today at the state depart ment, said in part:
 Rear Admiral Peary, speaking at a republican banquet in New York re- hundred years hence, we either shall be obliterated as a nation or we shall oc- cupy the entire North American world segment 1t is to be regretted that a man known 10 the public should so much enjoy indulging his imagination as to be indifferent to the effect which his utterances may have upon this countrys relations with other nations
 Admiral Peary does not. of course, claim to be inspired-he Is simply ex- pressing his private opinion--but his name. unfortunately gives wings to his words. He fixes loo years as the period during which it will be necessary for this government to secure control of the continent, or disappear Such a pre- diction from an obscure man would be foolish, from one in his position, 1t is little less than a crime His prediction is based upon an assumption which has been demonstrated to be false-namely that a nation must constantly expand or ga into decay

No Boundary Changes

Tt has been a century since the boun- dary line between the United States and Canada was established and yet both countries are more prosperous today than they were a hundred years ago. This country shares the large part of North America with several Spanish speaking republics and there is no req son why there should be any dispute between them in a century or in many centuries. The idea that a nation can grow only geographically is as un- American as it is untrue"
 Admiral Peary on reading this com ment declined to comment but pointed out that he first presented the idea that the entire North American world segment is the eventual destiny of the United States in a public address in London in November, 1903, when he said:
 "The attainment of the north pole is particularly an object for American pride and patriotism. The North Ameri- can world segment is our home our na- tural, ultimate destiny. Its bounds are the isthmus and the pole. We are ne- gotiating for the isthmus (the Hay BunauVarilla treaty was signed No- vember IS. 19o3). We must find and mark the pole"
