Confidence in Her Future.

"Japans prestige has been greatly
enhanced by the peace conference. The
nation should realize and be thank
full for the fact that all Japan's pro-
posals were favorably received with
the exception of the one relating to
racial equality"
A wave of elation and confidence in
Japans future greatness seems to
be sweeping over the empire. In a re-
cent address Ikuso Ooka, president of
the house of representatives, said:
world leadership is now in America,
but it is bound later to be transferred
to Japan"
Replying to M. Ooka's speech,
Takeshi Inukai, leader of the Koku-
mimic party. addressing his follow
ers, demanded a slowing up Of Japan's
advance on the ground that she is
mot strong enough at present to sue
cessfully combat western powers in
any sense"

gone the limit in magnanimity" and,
whatever happens, will "steadfastly
adhere to the program Of restoration
Of the province to China"
Pressed for an estimate as to the
time that will be required for this
restoration. officials have said to the

WORLD LEADERSHIP CRY

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Tuesday, September 9.-De-
velopments in relation to the Shan
tung question form the supreme sub
ject of discussion here. The general
attitude Of the Japanese is to await
calmly the final action by the United
States Senate.
Some of the members of the diet are
reported to be addressing anxious in
quiries to the government regarding
the situation. They ask whether the
United States is likely to enforce by
arms a possible new treaty with Ger
many returning Shantung directly to
China. Those who have addressed
these inquiries to the government are
said to be profoundly impressed BY the
assignment of half the United States
Navy to the Pacific and to be inclined
to establish a connection between the
coming of the fleet and the Shantung
agitation.
The end of the war finds the Japan
csc striving with traditional unity to
expand the nations interests in Asia.
Premier Hara, speaking yesterday at

As to Date of Restoration.

IF China will take up the discus
sion in a fair spirit restoration can
probably be accomplished in a few
months. Japan would want arrange
ments for an international settlement
providing for joint operation of the
Shantung railway. with Japanese in
structors for the Chinese railroad po-
lice, and an agreement concerning
Shantung enterprises in which the
Japanese have already invested cap
ital." They have added that no de-
mands will be submitted to China as
a condition to restoration.
How can we fix the exact date for
restoration" said one official, when
we do not know whether China will
talk with US, nor how long they will
require to reach an accord on matters
relative to which we have made so
many concessions?"

People Demand Breaking

PRAGUE, April 7.--When passing
from Germany to Bohemia one cannot
fail to be struck with the contrast
which the two countries present That
Bohemia is poor and in many ways
backward country compared even with
postwar, revolutionary Germany, is
manifest at first sight.
The ravages of war, neglect, priva-
tion and human suffering are more
glaring on the streets of Prague than
even in Berlin, Munich or Frankfort
Yet the most striking difference is in
the spirit and temper of the two peo-
plies. Germany is filled with detection
hopelessness, resentment and desperate
counsels. while in Bohemia there ar
buoyancy and gladness of heart, since
the nation has won beyond its wild
est dreams a future of elf-govern-
ment, even though it is mixed with
the SOLDERING thoughts of new cares
and possibilities.
Ling TO Entente Anchor
The young Czecho-Slovak republic
surrounded by implacable enemies OF
jealous neighbors on five sides, finds
that formidable economic difficulties
threaten to stunt it's growth The
young state is occupied with internal
political strife that causes moments OF
Encouragement, and the whole people
cling to the dearly valued friend shin
of the Entente as a sheet anchor
Your correspondent had the oppor-
tunlty of learning something about the
problems occupying Czech minds in
conversation with a Socialist leader
who described his followers position
as resembling that of the independent
Socialist party in Germany, although
in Bohemia the Socialist party isn't
split and the leaders of the two sec
tlons cooperate cordially.
Ihls leader was exceedingly keen
for specialization of the lands, which
has become principal issue in a coun-
try where specialization of domestic pol
ltics means nationaliza ton plus some
control by the workers. The socializa
ton OF lands appears to the masses of
Czech people an indispensable COM
plement to the liberation of the nation.
Estates Held by Germans
The division of the great lands of the
state now presents the most urgent
problem. These feudal estates were
taken from the peasantry after crush
ing the Czech nation on the White
Mountains and passed out among the
hapsburg German feudal retainers
They still are in the hands of these
Germans, with few exceptions, and con-
sequently national liberation that
does not restore them to the people will
seem incomplete.
Originally the conservative parties
rejected the socialization idea utterly,
but were compelled to yield to the
strength of popular feeling in favor of
the fairly far-reaching scheme now con-
templated by the government.
Bolshevism has appa renty found no
receptlve soil in Bohemia, but the So
cialist leaders here say that unless the
plan for socialization of the lands is
carried out they cannot vouch for the
masses remaining tranquil.

After Talk With the French
Statesmen Polish Premier
Is Still Not Satisfied
With Agreement Terms
City Must Be Polish h
Leaving 1t in Hands Of the
Germans Would Be De-
feat of All Allies, He Says

PARIS, April 7 (By The Associated
Press ).-After conferences to-day with
Premier Clemenceau, Foreign Minister
Pichon and Colonel House, Jan Ignace
Paderewski, Premier of Poland, told
The Associated Press that he was some
what treasured about Marshal Foch s
agreement concerning the moving of
troops through Danzig.
"Our information throughout Po-
land" said M. Paderewski, "was based
largely on the German version of the
arrangement made at Spa; consequent-
y, the Poles regarded it as a surrender
to the German terms. AS the matter
has been explained to me by the En-
tente officials, it looks very different.
II appreciate the necessity of getting
troops from France to Poland as rap
idly as possible, and I see that we have
been misled by the German propa-
gandists, who are working by the thou
sands in Poland"
Still Not Satisfied
Replying to an inquiry as to whether
he felt that the principle of the right
to land Polish troops at Danzig had
been maintained, Paderewski said:
"We are uncertain still and not salts
fed with the status of the negotiations
concerning Danzig. If Poland is not
given Danzig the war is lost Leaving
Danzig in Germany's hands would mean
the defeat of all the armies which par
ticipated in this great war"
Asked if the naturalization of DAN
zig would be satisfactory to Poland,
NJ. Paderewski replied emphatically in
the negative.
"We have seen how the neutraliza-
tion of Danzig works." he said "The
whole world knows what failure that
was in the past. 1t would be the same
again"
M. Paderewski has an appointment
to meet President Wilson on Thurs
day, and in the mean time many other
appointments with peace delegates, He
does not know how long he will re-
main in Paris. Nine. Poderewsk,
who accompanied her husband, is con-

Crowds gather before the hotel where

glimpse of the easily recognized Pre-
mier, whose appearance in Paris has
overshadowed that of other dstin-
guished visitors.
Room Filled With Flowers
Paderewski received the correspond
ent IN his drawing room, which was
filled with flowers sent by officials
and admirers of the artist as we'll as
the statesman. A score of photog-
raphers of Paris papers were admitted
while the Premier was talking and
posed him and his wife, who continued
her conversation, regardless Of the ac-
