 TOXIC, Aug. 11.-Dawning of new era of friendly relations between Ja- nan and the United States was em- phasized by Viscount Kikujlro lshil' the head of the new Japanese mlsslcn to the United States, in the speech he delivered at the farwell dinner ten dered to him here before his departui for America.
 Tn spite of the indefatigable efforts of the Germans to bring discord be- tween Japan and the United States, said Viscount Ishi, these two coun- fries now virtually are allied in max ing a common front against Germany.
 "A new era in the intercourse be tween Japan and America first dawn ed when in 1908 a representative bocy composed of the members of the Pa cific Coast Chamber of Commerce pa a-d a visit to this country. Though not as representatives sent by the govern ment. the party brought here mts- sage of good will and appreciation Il from the American people to the Jap anese nation.

the last of whom the public would ex- pect shifty diplomacy or double-heal- ing. and an honest misunderstanding on his part may be the real explana- tion.
 MT. Henderson recently returned from Russia with the conviction that the Russians were strong for the Stockholm conference and that the British should meet their wishes. He has not taken part in war cabinet de Alterations since his return, being ab- sorbed in the labor party's business but he has been generally regarded as a sort of governmental ambassador to labor and as the governments spokes- man on labor questions.
 The Saturday Review says the gov ernment sent Mir. Henderson to Petro- grad with the intention of making him ambassador to Russia if it appeared that the laborite would be more ac- ceptahle to the revolutionary govern ment than Ambassador Buchanan, whose previous position as ambassa- dor to the imperial court might have prejudiced the revolutionary party against him.
 The dual position of NIT. Henderson as a member of the cabinet and as ! leader of the labor party became i'm possible when he began to conduct i'm portant measures of public policy in his latter capacity, without consulia- tion with his colleagues in the cabinet ! This situation adds another to the diff faculties of Premier Lloyd George but may prove only a temporary embar rassment.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The Republic
can Publicity Association through
its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following
statement at its Washington Head
quarters:
"Some administration newspapers
assert that this is no time for poll
tics, and that this is no time to talk
about the tariff
eff this is no time for politics, why
has the Democratic National Com
mittee recently reorganized on the
most systematic campaign basis ever
attempted by any party committee in
the United States? Why is that
committee issuing partisan publicity
matter and maintaining an extensive
publicity bureau? If this is no time
for politics, why do we have solidly
Democratic cabinet, why are the
Democratic campaign contributors
given the most powerful positions in
our war organization and why was
the chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee chosen to go as a
representative of this country to the
war conference in Europe?
eff this is no time to talk tariff,
why are we maintaining tariff COM
mission, why was that commission
placed in the control Of free traders,
and why is the commission now con-
Quoting tariff inquiry? Shall the
business men of America keep silent
while an official organization of free
traders talk tariff? Shall men who
exercise alert foresight in their pri-
vate business adopt 'watchful wait
ing policy in public affairs? Shall
we postpose preparedness for peace
until peace has come? Shall men
be told that they are nervous and
hystericap when they urge prepared
ness for commerce just as they were
when they urged preparedness for
war? Shall men who believe in
America First leave tariff discussion
and tariff legislation to that political
party which, in 1913, legislated for
Europe and Asia first?

cratic press answer"

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, Dec. 49, Especial
correspondence)-It is a well known
fact that the war revenue act con-
tains a provision exempting from the
excess profits section the salaries of
Officers and employees under the
United States" 1t was discovered
after the approval of the Act that
Members of Congress had provided
for the exemption of their own sal
aries from the tax. 1t has remained
for a Republican to take the initial
step in correcting the language of
the law so as to make the tax apply
to Congressman as we'll as other citi-
zens. Representative Moses P. Kin
kaid of Nebraska has presented a
resolution to the House specifically
stating that the exemption provision
shall not apply to Senators and Mem
bers of Congress. No opposition to
its passage in the near future is anti
cipated.
Representative Charles E. Fuller
of Illinois has prepared bill that will
bring happiness to all surviving veter-
ans of the Civil War. 1t provides
that every person who served ninety
days or more in the military or naval
service shall receive a pension of $50
per month if receiving less than that
sum at the present time. Another
measure introduced by Mr.. Fuller pro-
poses to increase the pensions of army
nurses to $25 per month. Both bills
have been referred to the Committee
on Invalid Pensions, of which Mr..
Fuller is a leading member, and he
intends to use his best efforts to get
them favorably reported at as early
a date as possible.
Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas
has given formal notice that he will
move to amend the rules of the Sen
ate by specifically forbidding confer
ees to include in their reports matters
not in dispute between the two
Houses; also that point of order
shall lie against any such matter
that may be included, the point to be
decided by the presiding officer. 1t
had been the general custom for many
years to follow that procedure, but in
recent sessions many violations have
occurred with the result that confer
ence committees have exerted power
that should never be delegated to
such small number of men. In
many cases they have practically re-
written important bills. Further
more, the only question before the
Senate when considering conference
reports has been the acceptance or
rejection of the report as whole.
Under Senator Curtis's amendment it
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1917-12-21

will be possible to make point of
order against unauthorized matter in
serted by the conferees without i'm
pairing the rest of the report, which
may then be approved.
The first session of the Sixty-fifth
Congress adjourned October 6.
Among its last acts was the passage
of the revenue law. The second ses-
sion of the Sixty-fifth Congress as
sembled December 8, and among the
first bills of which notice was given
| were several to amend the revenue
law. 1t is probable that never before
has a measure of so much Importance
been so speedily found faulty as this.
The Treasury Department, even with
the employment of a board of highly
talented advisors, is unable to say
how it shall be administered. No two
actuaries or accountants of any sort
can agree as to how the profits-tax
shall be reckoned for any industry. If
the law stands as it was originally en-
acted, it will be long time before
the courts have finally cleared their
dockets of the litigation which will
develop under it's terms. The law
was of Democratic origin, and what
ever it contains that is clear or pro-
ductive was put there by Republican
insistence- and in the face of Demo-
cratic opposition. 1t may be rene
died by Democratic hands-but we
doubt it. The next election, however,
should give us Republican Congress
which can take care of the situation.
Despite Secretary Daniels, some
legislation which will permit our SOL
diers and sailors to accept war deco
rations from the countries which are
fighting Germany with us. 1t is the
proper thing to do. To refuse the
medals or other insignia with which
our Allies would indicate their appre-
citation of distinguished bravery on
the part of any of our men would be
a rebuff to gratitude and a discour-
tesy of which the United States
should be incapable.
Postmaster General Burleson
speaks in highly complimentary terms
of the Postal Savings Bank and the
Parcel Post, both Republican measures
and the former passed over the oppo-
sition of the Democrats.
every white man in Mississippi
realizes the seriousness of permitting
negroes to roam about in the South
in the uniform of United States Army
officers" Thus runs sentence in a
Vicksburg, Mississippi, despatch to
the New York World. What is there
serious in this? The colored men
who have won officers commissions
in the National Army were selected
from among their race because of SUI
perior intellectual qualifications, they
were given the intensive training of
the Reserve Officers Corps at Camp
Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa. They were
commissioned only upon merit; and
there is no reason to believe that they
will fail to do credit to the uniform
which they are entitled to wear. That
white Mississippian of Democratic
faith should find it serious matter
for any negro to wear other than
overalls and jumper or to carry in his
hand any implement more important
that hoe may we'll be believed. But
that there is anything of real menace
in such thing is ridiculous.
