President Calvin Makes
Statement on Strike Close

President E. f. Calvin yesterday is
sued the following statement regard
ing the settlement OF the strike:
"The nation is to be congratulated
that the sinister influence which
sought to tie the hands OF our coun.
try through the means of tie-up of
the railroads has been defeated.
THE outstanding fact of this set
Element is the overwhelming proof Of
the loyalty of American railroads and
their executives to the people and to
the government Of Our country, a
loyalty that has asserted itself re-
gardless OF the injustice which will be
suffered as a consequence.
SHOULD war actually come, | am
sure it will be apparent to all citi-
zens that in the negotiations between
the brotherhood leaders and the gen.
eral managers committee OF the rail-
roads in New York. the railroad rep
resentatives showed the higher pa
triotism.
"The whole difficulty thus ends in
mediation, a principle for which the
railroads contended from the first,
and it is to be hoped that the public
will see to it that no misguided labor
leaders shall in the future raise an
ugly hand to interfere with the hope
thus expressed, namely, long period
of hearty cooperation between rail-
roads and their employees.
"The passing of the winter months
promises speedy clearing up of the
freight congestion and there is ahead
of the business men of America the
greatest prosperity that has ever been
known in this country, and feel sure
the business men OF the nation will
join in a demand that the railroad
executives may be given free hand
to work out the problems that will
come as a result Of this increased
prosperity, problems of extensions
and improvements which at this hour
demand the investment Of billions OF
dollars of new capital"

Bank Director Not in Perfect
Accord With the Government

fcorrespondence Of The Associated Press)
Picking, Feb. 20.-Tsao Ju-lin, for
mer vice minister of foreign affairs,
has been made acting managing d.
rector OF the Bank of Communica-
tions to succeed LANG Shih-yi. Both
Tsao Ju-lin and LANG Shih-yi are
out of favor with the present govern
ment, because OF their identification
with the rnonarchical movement and
their long association with the late
President Yuan Shi-kai. j. y.
Tsao Ju-lin was educated in Japan,
and because Of his friendly relations
with Japanese statesmen, is not in
favor Of the anti Japanese factions in
China. His appointment to the man
arership OF the Bank OF Communica-
tons has provoked much criticism in
the press.
Japanese financiers have signed an
agreement TO lend the Bank OF Com
,nunications $5,000000 silver on the
security OF bank notes and bonds held
by the bank. This loan to the Chinese
bank, coupled with Tsao Ju-lin's ap-
pointment, has given rise to many ~.
rnors as to what use the Japanese will
make OF the government bank when
il comes practically under their con-
troll. Opposition to the loan was Of
fered in parliament, but as the loan
does not in any way increase the gov
eminent liabilities, it was held not
to be within parliamentary power to
interfere with its negotiation.

Greek RevoIutionists
Protest Their Innocence

Athens. Feb. IA number OF the
imprisoned Venizelists set at liberty
by the Greek government in com.
pliance with the terms of the allied
ultimatum Of January 8, have refused
to regard the matter as closed by their
liberation at the behest OF the en-
tente powers. Colonel Zymbrakakis,
ex-chief OF police of Athens, and
brother of the minister Of var in t'.e
Venizelos cabinet, Editor Kyros, OF
the Venzelist organ in Athens, the
"Hestia," and a score of others have
petitioned the Greek appellate court
to proceed with their cases. take evil
dence as to the charge of high trea-
son brought against them, and either
acquit or convict them. All OF those
who have petitioned the appellate
court in this sense protest their inno-
cence and demand that they be given
an opportunity to prove, by due pro-
cess OF law in the Greek courts, that
they have been guilty Of no attempt
to corspire against the legal govern
ment of Greece.
Questioned on the attitude OF the
Greek government in respect Of these
demands, the minister Of justice de-
clared that the. cabinet considered the
matter disposed OF by the entente I'LL
timatum. In case the trials were car
ried through and the petitioners found
guilty, he declared, it would be i'm
possible to sentence them; in case
they were found innocent, the fact
would leave in the public mind per-
haps unjust presumption of guilt
against those who had not so petit
toned for the trial to proceed.
Il Is believed that the Lambros
government will refuse the petitions
on these grounds. rA

Papers Discuss the Change in
Present Attitude Of Japan

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
Picking, March 5.-Chinese news
papers are devoting much space to
discussion of the apparent change in
Japan's attitude toward China. Papers
of all parties and factions share the
opinion that Japan has abandoned,
at least temporarily all thought OF
physical conquest of China, and is de-
voting itself to an economic con-
quest.
Japans attitude toward the new
American enterprises in China and the
renewed efforts Of Japanese bankers
to entrench themselves more
thoroughly through loans Of various
sorts are widely discussed in the
Chinese press as well as in parlia-
ment. The following statement from
the Picking Daily News is representa-
tive of the view generally taken by
the Chinese press: AT Toxic the be-
lief prevails that Japan will continue
its endeavor to increase its political
influence in China. The japanese

ing for political ascendency that will
not be so abrupt as to endanger
peace. What they want is thorough
economic conquest of the neighbor-
ing republic. 49,.
1.-THE readiness with which the
Chinese recently granted American
capitalists the concession to build a
long railroad and their hesitation in
making contracts with the japanese
have awakened the Japanese to the
fact that ascendency in China, to be
successful, must be accompanied by
some measure of trust and confidence
The Japanese have tricked the Chin
ese so much that the Chinese have
lost all confidence in their neighbors
both politically and commercially.
"The situation as it stands between
the United States, China and Japan
is in its infancy, but it is growing
daily and will have to be taken into
sideration soon"
