JAPANESE STATESMEN
SOLID BEHIND LEAGUE

auese statesmen are practically unani-
nous in their endorsement of the league
Of nations. They see closer relations
ships between all nations, less wal and
a greater Japan, according to their
statements.
Tho league Of nations is the most
important product Of the world war;
Takash HaEs, leader Of the Seiydkai
party declared. 81 expect all nations
win work in the future to make an ef-
fective permanent peace guarantee. De-
velopmeHt Of national power under the
lesgue is important. 1t behOOyes Japan
to take advantage Of the new peace and
the league Of nations.
The war has unmistakably demon.
strated the failure of the reign Of brute
force and the triumph of justice and
humanity. It is essential that Japan
strive for national power along these
lines so she can contribute her full
quota to permanent peace, especially in
the Orient. 1t is not expected that the
league will settle all international dis
putas, but it will undoubtedly be eTfec.
tive in reducing differences and will
be salutary check on ambiguous and
unserupulous politics that menace world
peace. II stable Russia and the new
nations evolved from the war joiu, the
leagues foundation win be soiIdified
and war for the sake of imaginary pres
tige will gradually cease" said Genes~r
Tanaka, member of the house Of peers
and representative of the biggest fl
nancial institutions.
Ikuzo 0.0ka, former speaker of the
house of representatives and leader
of the seiyukai party, feels the league
of nations is not Japan's greatest need.

Burleson today refused to either af-
firm or deny that he had submitted his
resignation to the president.
At his office it was pointed cut that
it is customary to allow announcements
Of cabinet resignation to come from the
White~Housc and that II would be Gin
delicate for Burleson to break this
rule.
Burleson was one Of three cabinet
officials who did not go 10 New York to
greet the president today. The others
we're Secretary oi Commerce Redfield
and Attorney General Palmer.
At Redfield s office, il was SAID that
previous plans had prevented his max.
ing preparations TO go.
Palmer had made plans to 70 but

quarters of Burleson's administration
of the postoffiec department is ander-
stood to have prompted his offer to
step down to save the president possi-
BILE embarrassment.
Outcome Important.
Disposition Of the matter was regard
ed as one Of the most important prob.
lens confronting the president upon his
return here. II is known that certain
Of the democrats are willing to see the
postmaster general leave the cabinet for
party reasors.
Burleson' s cabinet life has been be-
set with difficulties, many Of which
arose during his administration Of cable
and wire systems. These troubles we're
intensified by strikes and threats Of
strikes among employees Of the telegraph
and telephone companies. His attitude
in these instances caused charges TO be
made by labor that the postmaster gen.
eral had refused to recognize labor un-
ions or be governed by decisions Of the
war labor board.
Widespread opposition to the postal
zone law by publishers was assigned by
Bmlcsn1 as the cause OF other criticism
directed &C him.
