During Recess Of Congress.

Senator ]. Hamilton Lewis Of Illinois
favors comforting additional power up
on President Wilson during the coming
recess of Congress. After a talk with
the President yesterday Senator Lewis
said:
Il think it would be wisdom for Con-
gress to pass a law giving the Presi-
dent full power to do anything in the
recess of Congress that may be called
for by any sudden emergency, whether
from international complications or
home price-hxing of commodities for
war necessity. This would prevent
calling Congress before the regular
December meeting. and also give i'm
mediate legality to any action. however
unexpected.
The President expressed himself as
deeply appreciative of the generous
course Of Congress toward him, par
ticularly in its refusal to hamper him
in any way in any of his executive
functions or of intruding party opposi-
ton or personal politics against neces-
sary measures. The President is sat
isfied with our war situation and our
readiness for action. and has full con-
idence in American success every

Says His Previous Utterance Was
Wrongly Called Monroe Doc
trine In Asia"

NEW YORK. October 2.-Japan's
pledge to China that she will not vio-
late her political independence OF ter
ritorial integrity was reiterated and
given especial emphasis last night by
viscount Ishii, head of the imperial
Japanese mission, at n dinner given by
Oswald q. Willard. The distinguished
guest explained that his original ut
terance had been improperly termed a
Monroe doctrine in Asia" He request
ed that his words be Transmitted to
the people Of this country"
'T want to make It very clear to you"
said viscount Ishii. that the applica-
tion of the term Monroe doctrine to
this policy and principle, voluntarily
outlined and pledged by me. is mac
curate.
Points Out Fundamental Difference.
There Is this fundamental difference
between the Monroe doctrine of the
United States as to Central and South
America and the enunciation Of Japan's
attitude toward China In the first
there is on the part Of the United States
no engagementfof promise. while In the
other Japan voluntarily announces that
Japan viii herself engage not to violate
the political or territorial integrity of
her neighbor and to observe the prin-
ciples of the open door and equal op-
portunity. asking at the same time
other nations to respect these princi-
pies.
Il ask you to note this with no sug-
Restion that can. or any one else does,
question the policy or attitude of your
country. which we well know will al
ways deal fairly and honorably with
other nations.
"As you must have noticed" he con-
tinued. Il have persistently struck one
note every time I have spoken It has
been the note of warning against Ger
man intrigue in America and in Japan
intrigue which has extended over a
period of more than ten years I am
not going to weary you with repeti-
ton of this scualid story of plots, con-
ceived and fostered by the agents Of
Germany. but 1 so1emnly repeat the

Exposure Of Attempt to Fo-

and Japan Is Possible.
TRAIL LEFT BY BOLA PASHA

Reitcration by Viscount Ishii head of
the japanese mission, In his public ad.
dresses in this country, that German in
trieue has been rife in Japan to arouse
dissension between that nation and tho
allies, especially the United States. has
led to much speculation about the ex.
tent Of the evidence in possession OF
this government about such machina-
tions.
There were reports today that pubh-
cation of this evidence. in manner
similar to tha, which disclosed Ger
many's bungl.ng effort to stir up
trouble in Mexico, might be authorized
by the State Department. No conhrma-
ton OF this report. however. was forth
coming at the State Department.
It is known that the Department OF
Justice is fully aware OF German
efforts to create misunderstanding be-
tween japan and the United States.
Only recently the efforts to trace these
attempts resulted in request TO at
least one newspaper to submit orlgi-
mails Of copy" said to have incorporat-
ed some Of the suggestions which Ger
many was most anxious to put
across"
Lines Followed in United States.
The general lines Of the propaganda
in the United States are pretty generally
known. They have taken the form OF
intimations of commercial conflicts be-
tween the United States and Japan IN
China. emphasis of the alien question
in California, sustained effort to DIS
count the valuable services Japan has
rendered the allied cause by furnish
ing supplies and ammunition to the

of Japan to establish dominion over

over the alleged discrimination against

German Plottings in South America

Evidence is accruing that Germany's
South American representatives have
been far more active than has been sup
posed. and there is suspicion that some
of the reports emanating from there
have been tinged by the German peace
hue. For example. it was stated that
there is little explanation outside that
of German intrigue. for the stories that
Argentina was at odds with Brazil be-
cause Of her early severance of rela-
tions with Germany.
Some persons believe that Germany is
as active now in South America, and
especially in Argentina. as she was in
this country before the United States
entered the war. By these 1t is argued
that one reason for the State Depart
ment's disclosure of the messages that
passed through the Swedish representa-
tive to that country was the State De-
partments method of disclosing to
South America what to expect of Ger
man diplomats.
