Washington Letter
HY Edward Heating

Congressman from the third Colorado
District.
The House of Representatives
has decided to thoroughly sift all
the rumors growing out Of the al
legged ''leak" which enabled-cer
tain Wall Street brokers to clean
up several millions by obtaining
advance information concerning
President Wilson's peace note.
Everything considered. it is prr
badly a wise decision
There was a leak" Tn Il
means some Wall Street speclra-
tors had pretty definite ideas re
garding the contents of the pr-si
dents note before that document
was given to the public. They
gambled on this tip and when
the stock market went to pieces
they made a lot of money.
up to this minute, no one has
come forward with evidence show
ing that any public official had
anything to DO with the leak"
or profited by it. Tom Lawson.
the spectacular Boston stock
gambler, has indulged in much
talk, but the impression left on
most Of those who heard him tes
tify was that LAWSON WAS not
oriety-sseker who could not be
believed.
An impartial consideration of
all the facts, leads Inevitably tn
the conc usion that the presidents
peace note was handled in such :.
wav that a leak" coald not have
been avoided.
The paper was prepared byihe
president, it was translated in'"
the diplomatic code by at least
two employees of the State De.
partment. it was set up By
printers in the government print
ing ofIi-e. and finally Secretary OF
State lansing told Il score o'
newspapermen, in the presence
of at least four out siders. thai
the president had sent "A note Il
the powers which woui& make
big stIry." OF course. lht
Secretary said the note had II,

INTERESTING COMPARISON
In seven years Japan plans to
buildi. five capital ships--two
battle cruisers and three battle
ships.
In one year--1916-- the United
States appropriated money to con
struct .eight capital ships--four
battle cruisers and four battle
ships.
Japan is a powerful nation in
the Orient, but it cannot hope to
seriously, contend with the Unit
ed States on this side of the wa
ter. AS a matter of fact, there
lis no reason why the United
States and Japan should clash.
The real interests of the two
nations do not conflict. Japan is
expanding, but Asia affords am
pie territory for it's activities.
The United States has interests
in the Orient, but there is plenty
of room for the white man and
the yellow man if both are will
ing to adopt a policy of live and
let live.
Some time ago I introduced a
resolution providing for the ap-
pointment of a joint commission
by the United States, Japan and
China, clothed with authority to
Inquire into the relations between
nations. When the great Wem-
on's Peace Party convention was
held in this city, a committee.
headed by Jane Addams,~ was
named to appear before the
House committee on foreign Re-
| |lations and urge the adoption of
my suggestions.
JANE adams WARMING.
Miss Adams pointed out that
there were irreconsilable differ
ences between this country and
Japan. but she gave warning
that certain individuals seemed

mitted to drag the two countries
to the brink of war. Instead we
should profit by the awful blum
ders of Europe and lay the found
ations of an enduring peace be-
tween the Orient and the Occi-
dent.
l am confident that the propos-
| I'd commission, if composed IF
the right kind of men, would &c
| compDish all that Miss Addams
suggested. We all know that
this country has no intention of
attacking Japan. but the thous-
ands of Japanese believe we are
planning the obstruction of their
country. | am just as confident

statesman has ever seriously con-

.his country, but many OF our
people believe the contrary.

same ratio continues it is an in
dicarion,the session will be ac-
cordingly shorter than the session
two years ago. The fewer num-
ber of bills introduced is to some
extent accounted for by the elec-
tion contest which has taken con
siderable time and attention.
This has been settled. The re-
count of the vote resulted in the
unseating Of Mr.. Winters and
the seating Of Mrs. Evangeline
Hearth, as was generally expect
ed. That the recount was salts
factorily and honestly conducted
is evidenced by the fact that Mr..
Winters expressed himself to
that effect and resigned before
che report of the election COM
mittee was made. And also
there was no minority report by
the republican members of the
committee which is proof that
they were satisfied.
While some of the most impor-
tand laws have not been intro
duced as get several such meas
ures have been. One bill is COM
ing from the Senate, which is of
interest to the people Of our part
of the state. This is a bill rela-
tive to our state land. Among
other things the bill provides for
the selection Immediately by the
state of all the lands to which
the state is entitled to under the

help to the people in buying this

ment will ut be required and in

had as to what land is left and

The prohibition question also
is being talked Of. The points

cd to handle the liquor traffic.
There is no question as to the dry
ness of the assembly, there is a
prevailing feeling that too strin-
