JAPAN THREATENS TROUBLE

The insistence with which japan is pressing
its program for the control of China presents
serius problem to the consideration of the peace
conference.
The Japanese do not seem prepared to accept
the mandatory system as applied to territory
captured by them from Germany during the
war, says the Indianapolis News. 1t is said that
they will insist on absolute control Of the Caro-
line and Marshall islands, and also that the terms
of the secret treaties between Japan and China
be carried out. Against this latter policy the
Chinese protesting, and are proposing to
make the terms of the treaties public, though
the original documents have been stolen from
them. Great Britain and France have accepted
the mandatory principle. Even the people of
Australia, though not exactly contented, have &C
knowledged themselves bound by the action of
the British government and the peace confer
lence. What is good enough for them ought to be
quite good enough for Japan. The special inter
est of Japan in China and the Pacific islands is
no greater than that of great Britain in Africa
and the near east or than that of Australia in
New Guinea.
The question thus raised is somewhat difficult
but it is believed that the conference will be able
to handle it satisfactorily. The Japanese repre-
sentatves may conclude that the friendship of
the great occidental nations, including Japan's
ally, Great Britain, is worth holding. 1t is quite
certain that their supposed attitude is wholly in
consistent with the principles on which any
league of nations must be based
Nor should it be forgotten that China has
rights, and that her interest is rather more di-
rect than that of Japan. There are few secret
treaties that have been treated with respect by
the conference. The issue between Italy and the
new Jugo-Slav state will be settled by the con-
ference without much regard to the secret treaty
of London negotiated between Great Britain and
France side and Italy on the other when
the latter power entered the The same
rule should be applied in the case of Japan.

TAXING RAILROAD PROPERTY

An interesting question has arisen as to the
taxable status of materials and supplies held by
railroads.
Federal managers of railroads have been in
structed to call the attention of tax representa-
tives to the fact that material and supplies on
hand are the property of the United States gov
eminent and therefore not subject to taxation"
There is disputing the fact that this mate
rial was actually purchased by the government
when the railroads taken over, but those
who maintain that it is taxable property insist
that it is held in trust for the railroads, is to be
used for railroad and not for government pur-
poses and therefore, should bear its full share of
the public expense.
Under the Interpretation of the matter an
nounced by the railroad administrator the large
number of locomotives and cars which the gov
eminent has bought and is buying would escape
taxation.
States which have derived large revenue from
the taxation of railroad property are deeply con-
cerned over the matter hundreds of millions
OF dollars will be clipped from their tax lists if
the railroad administration is sustained.
number of fine points of law are involved
and the decision of the attorney-genera to
whom the question has been referred is awaited
with much interest.
