Japan Holding Up
Finance For China

Washington, Dec. %. - Unless
either the United States or Japan
yields ground, the proposed four
power colisortium for extending
loans to C&ina probably will fail.
The deadlock between the American
and Japanese Governments over the
question of Japans position in South
Manchuria and Ga%tcrn Inner Mon
golia, in which territories Japan
has acquired spec.Sl rights through
treaties with China, has prevented
the formation of the consortium,
which the United States proposed
more than year ago.
The American Government is I'M
derstood to be prepared to lend Dip
lomatic support to private American
financial interests if the latter
should elect to enter the Chinese
loan field independently of financial
groups of other countries. Interna-
tional competition, however. it is
feared, would defeat one of the OBJ
1ects of the consortium-tha re-
moVal of temptation to the powers
TO obtain, through finance, special
privilege and new spheres in China.
The British Government is using
its good offices as an ally with japan
with view to bringing about an
agreement with America. The tone
OF the Japanese press and the tenor
OF statements published by promi-
nent persons in Japan indicate. on
the other hand, that japan feels
she cannot admit South Manchuria
20 enter into the purview of the con-
sortfum.

Peace Delegates
Polk Bliss, White,
Back From France

New York. Dec. 22.-Frank l..
Polk, Assistant Secretary of State;
General Tasker H. Bliss and Henry
White of the American delegation
to the Peace Conference, landed in
this city Saturday night from
France. They will go to Washing
ton later to present their reports.
None of the delegation would dis
cuss international affairs such as
the Peace Treaty and the League OF
Nations. They We're willing to talk
only on matters which are not con-
sidered official"
General Bliss made this state
ment:
Il shall be most happy to talk
when | reach Washington, but you
can appreciate the fact that 1 can
not say much now. We were
treated with the utmost kindness
and consideration at the Peace Con-
ference, and We come back home
bringing many happy rem entrances
of our stay in France.
True, at times the work was most
heartbreaking, but that was to be
expected. AS for myself, 1 did not
come so much in contact with the
civilian members of the Peace Con-
ference because my duties kept me
in constant touch with the military
advisers.
General Foch came to the train
personally to bid us bon voyage.
He informed me that he looked for
ward with the greatest pleasure to
coming to the United States, but did
not know when he would come. l
assured him that America would
surely bust itself when he came and
he would get a grand reception"

New York, Dec. %. = That the

League of Nations, which recently

I'VE must always regret" writes
Secretary John B. Andrews, of the
Association For Labor Legislation,
who has served in London and Wash

organizing committee of the confer

The plan of action adopted by the
conference, it is stated, is in har-
mony with scientific methods of con-
serving labor in modern industry.
Official delegates, representing not
only the governments but also in
equal numbers the most representa-
tive organizations of employers and
employees of forty-one countries,
agreed upon a dozen draft conven-
tions and recommendation which,
when made effective by the various
industrial nations, will bring about
worldwide minimum standards of
labor projections, embracing the
eight-hour day and orty-eight-hour

maternity protection, including alb

after childbirth and cash and med

Attack Burleson's
P. O. Order Policy

Washington, Dec. 22.-An attack
on Postmaster General Burleson's
administration of the international
money order system was made Sat-
urday by Chairman Steenerson of
the House Post Office and Post
Roads Committee. Considerable
comment has been made on that
portion of the Postmaster Generals
report showing a net gain of more
tnan S5,000,00O from the system.
Many people sending money abroad
are said to have suffered losses.
The reason given by the officials
of the Post Office Department for
continuing to sell money orders on
foreign countries at the pre-war
rate of exchange, as I understand
them," Mr.. Steenerson said, 'is that
they are required to do so by treaty
provisions. have examined the
treaty with France of Dec. 29, 1879,
and I am unable to find anything
therein to justify that contention"

tical and effective way of combating
general H. C. l.. that they have de.
cided upon an intensive campaign in
an effort to focus public attention on
these principles and, by widespread
sale of Government securities, to in
duce savings and popularize thrift.
Produce More-spend Less.
"The people of America must pro-
duce more than they spend before the
law of supply and demand can operate
to reduce prices" said M. E. Harri-
son, District War Savings Director.
ain other words, they must stop ex-
travagance, spend wisely and save.
To pound home this point is at pres
ent the most important part Of the
established program of the Savings
Division of the Treasury Department.
We will do this through the schools
and industrial societies, through our
personal workers and speakers in all
parts Of the district, through lttera-
ture and the press"
Campaign to Be Intensive.
I'VE believe an intensive campaign
to sell Treasury Savings Certificates"
continued Mr.. Harrison. Twill do much
to emphasize the Importance of thrift,
to popularize the idea and thus help
to prepare the public mind to receive
the benefits of the permanent cam.
paign for Thrift education. Hence the
October 9Th campaign"
The old Liberty Loan County Or
carnations have been asked to take
charge of the campaign Governor
Wold Of the Federal Reserve Bank has
approved the plan. 4. r. Rogers. Dis
trict Chairman for four Liberty Loan
drives, has personally written each
chairman. asking his active part1cipa

ing this request, said:

and with the least possible disturb
ance. We want to reduce the presen.
high cost Of living and to get things
back on a substantial and prosperous
peace basis with the least possible
trouble and delay. rs
In order to do these things, it is
necessary for the people generally to
change their present way of spending.
People are still experiencing a re-
action from the forced thrift of war
times and as rule are spending reck-
lessly. believe that one of the prin-
cipal causes of the present high cost
of living is. as someone has expressed
it, the cost of high living" If we
are to pay our debts and get back to a
normal basis, we must all practice
economy of time. labor and money; we
must save and invest wisely. will
not enter into an economic discussion
OF the subject. There are undoubted-
~ many other reasons for the present
high prices, but think you will agree
with me in this-that the only way of
permanently lettering our condition is
by pract1ctng thrift.
Spend Wisely and Save.
LAS you know, the Government
realizes this fact and is conducting a
nationwide campaign Of thrift educa-
ton and the sale of War Savings
Stamps and other Government securi-
ties. In order to make this campaign
effective, it must be popularized. This
can only be done by inducing large
number of people to spend wisely and
save You know the majority of peo-
pie will not do this unless they are
impressed with the necessity of it
and are induced to join with their
neighbors in investing in Government
securities. In this way, they will pre-
vent their surplus money from being
spent for non-essentials and Injuries.
For this reason, we are convinced that
an intensive effort to sell Government

securities should be made in your
county and every other county in the
Ninth District.
Everyone admits that the Ninth
District Liberty Loan Organization
was a most effective organization. 1t
has, therefore, been proposed that this
organization be asked to conduct In
each county of the Ninth District a

to term them. This meets with my
hearty approval.
Campaign to Help.
ri believe by carrying on such a
campaign. our old organization will be
in a. way perpetuated and will give
proof of its efficiency for patriotic work
in peace as well as in war. I think
that such a campaign properly car
ried on in each county will help very
greatly in the safe of these securities.
Increased sales will relieve the
Treasury Department Of just that
much financing work by the sale Of
Certificates of Indebtedness to the
banks and will release just that much
money for industrial development. I
believe that it will result in calling
| peoples attention to the value of the
Government securities as an invest
ment and will tend to poplarize thrift
as happy habit Moreover, it will
| materially aid in the reduction of the
high cost of living and decrease so
cial and political unrest"
Is Your County Organized?
1.-THE response has been fine said
Mr.. Harrison. MANY OF the old Gown
ty groups cannot be aeain completely
reorganized. but where the Liberty
Loan chairmen and workers cannot,
| for one reason or another, do the &C
tive work. the War Savings Chairmen
ill direct 1t. and with the co-ooera'
ton of all War Loan workers, will get
fine results"
