Gregory Would Enlarge Scope
of Sherman Law to Include
Hyphen Conspiracies.

Washington, Nov. 10. Revision Of
the Federal neutrality laws 90 the De-
partment of Justice can deal with Of
fences difficult, if not impossible, TO
reach under existing statutes is one
Of the tasks Congress will be asked to
undertake at the coming session.
This was one Of the subjects dis
cussed to-day at the Cabinet meet
ing. Attorney General Gregory said
afterward that his department would
ask for a change in the Sherman anti
trust act TO include beyond question
conspiracies such as are believed to
have been responsible for recent strikes
in muniton plants, attempts to blow up
ships sailing from American ports and
other moves interfering with inter-
state and foreign commerce.
Prosecutions for conspiracies Of this
sort cannot be undertaken in state
courts under the Sherman act, and II
officials Of any other government were
involved the offence would be against
the United States and could be prose-
cuted only in the Federal courts.
Amendment Of the Sherman act prob
ably will not be the only Legislation
sought from Congress. Developments
of the last six months have convinced
officials that there is woeful lack OF
specific neutrality statutes, for many
crimes have gone unpublished after in
vestigation because government lawyers
felt that convictions could not be OBJ
tanned.
The only statutes in the criminal
code that have been invoked success
fully are those aimed at the transporta-
ton of explosives, unmarked, in inter
state commerce and the law against
enlistment in the United States for
foreign service.
Although no detailed programme has
been decided on, an attempt may be
made 20 enlarge the powers OF the Sc
cret Service so that II may be able
TO cope with conditions which have
resulted from the European war, and

in this country.
Under the present law the Secret
Service cannot use its regular men IN

letters and protection of the President.

Japanese Menace Growing,
Saws California Senator

United States Senator James D. Phe-
Ian. of California. speaking of pre-
raredness for war at the Waldorf-As-
toria yesterday, said that adequate
preparation for national defence is just
as keenly desired on the Pacific Coast
as it is along the Atlantic. The con-
viction in the West is that the japanese
menace to the United States is every
dav growing more acute. The menace
of the japanese should not be under
estimated by the Fasteners. The Jap
anese cannot be allowed to feel that
they can come to California and own
land: be put OIL an equal footing with
all other people. We of that state rec
ognize the insidious methods the Jap
anese employ in seeking an entrance
TO the United States for its people.
And on account of its proximity TO
their land. the japanese want lodg-
ment on the Pacific Coast badly. Its
fertile soil and its mild climate add to
its desirability in their eyes.

DEFENDS JAPAN'S
POLICY in CHINA
DR.. T. Iyenaga Declares
Powers Will EnCrOaCh
on Orient After War.
FEARS EMPIRE WILL
BE THREATENED
Peace Society Told Conflict with
America Would Be Suicidal
for His Country.

War with America would be suicidal
for japan, said DR.. 7. Iyenaga in an
address at Cooper Union last night be-
fore the Woman's Peace party.
In answer 70 this declaration of Dr.
Iyenaga, Roger w. Babson, the econ
omist and writer. said that there was
every possibility of war between the
United States and Japan unless immi-
grafton restrictions were put under in
ternational control.
Dr. lyenaga argued that the rumors
of hostilities between this country and
Japan sprung from a delirious set Of
jingoes. Mr.. Babson replied:
The daily press does not and cannot
carry on campaign Unless there is
public opinion to feed it. The danger
Of war between the United States and
Japan is not as remote as Dr. lyenaga
would like US to think. Only by put
ting immigration restrictions, like the
questions Of tariff and shipping, under
international control can war be
avoided"
After assailing the Monroe Doctrine
az autiuuated and useless, DR.. lyenaga
made an appeal in behalf of non-re-
striction Of further Japanese emigra-
ton 70 the United States. He pointed
out that while this country is crying
fer the "open door in China, she her
self is shutting tight her own door
against Asiatics.
while America enjoys in Japan
equal privileges with other nations,
she denies that privilege TO Japan, and
is slow to render the justice which was
infringed upon by the California cpl
sode Of two years ago." said DR.. lyena-
ga. But the Japanese-California ques-
ton is no cause for war. The Paclnc ~
broad enough 10 accommodate without
iostling all the navies and merchant
fleets of both nations on opposite
shores.
THE course of America and China runs
in parallel. not conflicting lines, with
this only difference: Japan has most
vital political interests, while America
has not. and Japan realizes better than
America the danger involved IN Chlna's
weakness and is, therefore, zealously
eager for her regeneration. The for
eign powers began 70 encroach on
China before the war, and they VIII,
unless China is powerful enough, en-
croach on that great country after the
war. They will then threaten US. We

ment Of Justice is not so hampered,
having fund OF nearly 100000 at
its disposal. its activities in other lines
are so numerous that its regular force

How an attempt 70 consolidate the
services or to enlarge the powers of the
Secret Service would be regarded by
Congress officials are not prepared 20
