Japan smoothed the way for rapid

not pushing the racial issue. This
action was generally commended, but
at the same time 1t was recognized
as clever diplomacy, and the Japanese
were believed to have strengthened
their position for future develope-
ments. The absence of an Italian
delegate caused no comment
The big powers are completely in
accord as was shown by the harmony
of the plenary session Monday. Mat
ters that promised to be serious OBJ
stacles were removed at the outset.
This resulted in feeling that all the
delegations present were acting in
get together" spirit and that all are
working for the quickest possible
action.
This was particularly emphasized
by a Belgian delegate who declared
that, while Belgium was deeply dis
appointed because Brussels had not
been made the seat of the league OF
nations nevertheless the Belgians
were ready to accept the decision OF
the majority and do everything pos
sible to make peace secure.

had recommended to President vii.
son that the telegraph and telephone
systems be restored to privat, own.
ership and that control of American
cable lines be relinquished. members
of congress today were informally
discussing legislation which will be
necessary before the land systems
can be turned back to their former
owners.
No legislation will be required in
the case OF the cable lines, it was
stated, as the affairs of the company
care of themselves. II Mr.. Burle-
sons recommendation is carried out,
it Is possible these lines win be re-
linquished not later than May 10.
As the telegraph and telephone
lines must be returned in he same
physical condition in which they
were taken over, officials pointed out
it will be necessary for congress TO
enact laws providing financial pro-
lection, as to surrender them now
without provision for additional rev.
enue would mean the wreck;ng OF the
industry. Early action by congress
is looked for. as speedy return TO,
