Washington, April 3.-Japan's in
discrimination under the league of ma

Answering the repeated efforts Of
Japanese statesmen to hold the race
equality" club over the peace delib-
erations in Paris, Hitchcock declared:
1.-THE Japanese demand for rae
iaI equality and their insistence
that all discrimination against
races be discontinued is based
more on national pride than on
national interest.
"In all international matters this
Japanese have equality of treat
nnent. In the league itself Japan
is named as one Of the five great
nations as a permanent member
of the executive council.
"Only when it comes to domestic
matters do the nations belonging to
the league reserve the right to make
determinations between nations. This

relating to marriage between certain
races as we'll as the right to acquire

may hurt Japanese pride but they dc
not affect the interest of Japan as a
nation.
CAN'T ABANDON RIGHTS.
I'VE cannot agree to abandon our
right to make these determinations
They come under the head of domestic
affairs. They are not international

Mason Declares Action Inevit-

DeSpot Cannot Be Overlooked
BY j. w. T. MASON

Nv York, April 3.--Recognition of
the Bolshevill administration at Mos
cow as the de facto government is
rapidly becoming inevitable, accord
ing to all indications or the new point
of view of the Russian situation be-
ing taken by the peace conference
The Paris delegates are putting per-
sonal sentiment and national resent
mcnt aside. They are beginning to
examine the accomplishments of the
Bolsheviki from the standpoint of in
ternational law which governs the
recognition of a sovereignty in a rev.
olutionary regime.
While the Bosheviki have bsen
in power they have established
sufficient domestic order to per-
nit successful military operations
to be conducted simultaneously in
the extreme northern and south
ern areas of their country.
FOE ON OFFENSIVE.
In the north, American and British
troops are on the defensive and in
tend to retire to their transports and
return home as soon as the ice breaks.
In the south, the French have met
with severe military setbacks and are
practically entrapped along the Black
sea. In eastern Russia, the Siberian
rebels against the Moscow govern
ment have been unable to set up a
stable government, nor can they pen
citrate into western Russian territory.
In the west, the Bolsheviki have
converted Hungary to their doctrines
and have formed what amounts to an
alliance with the Hungarian govern
ment.
OTHERS PoWERLESS.
Meanwhile, no. other Russian
factions have been able to make
progress against the Boisheviki,
nor is any group outside Moscow
in a position OF claim it's posses
sion of sovereign power.
Under these conditions, it would be
no more than formal procedure under
/ international law for the peace con-
ference to extend formal recognition

LEN|NE ANXIOUS
TOQU|T SWORD:
BEGS FOR FOOD
Not Seeking Recognition of AS
sociated Powers, but Eager
to End Warfare at Home and
Against Allies.
BY FRED S. FERGUSON.

Copyright, 1913, by United Press)
Paris, April 3.-The Russian Soviet
government is not asking for recogni-
tion by the associated powers, it was
learned from authoritative sources to-
day. The proposition recently sub
mitted to the peace conference by Pre-
mier Lenine, summed up, is substan-
TALLY;
make peace with us, enabling
US to end the numerous little wars
that are being wased on Russian
territory.
Lift the blockade so as to per-
NIT us to get food and materials.
"Then we will make good and
you can recognize us-if you care
to-
WANT SEPARATE PEACE.
The Russians, it is understood, are
also willing to make a separate peace
with the associated powers; that Is,
without including the new Hungarian
soviet government in the pact. BY
making peace with the Russians is
naturally meant withdrawal of all al
lied forces from Russia and cessation
OF participation in such campaigns al
that in Odessa district.
Lenine agrees to cease fighting, 1t
is declared, and stop propaganda
work in other countries, applying his
governmental machinery to purely ma
tional affairs in which he expects to
show it is possible for a system to sue
ceed in which a rich man cannot get
anything merely because he is rich.
PURELY "SELF-DEFENSE.'
The Russians attitude is that such
military operations as they are now
carrying on are in self defense. 1t IS
known that the peace conference is
giving extensive consideration to the
latest reports from Russia and is be-
coming more impressed with accumu-
lation of evidence that violence and
bloodshed are not stopping Bolshevisn,.
An instance of this is contained In
reports reaching here from Copenha-
gen regarding the reception accorded
General Mannerheim in neutral coun-
tries. Mannerheim crushed the Boil
shevist movement in Finland by kill
ing hundreds. When he went TO
Stockholm recently huge crowd
awaiting him on the pier Missed and
hooted. Mannerheim did not leave the
boat.
STONED IN COPENHAGEN.
In Copenhagen he was stoned while
riding through the streets with tho
king. He intended to visit Norway.
but his visit was cancelled.
In view OF the reports of serious
food conditions, as well as the spread
of typhus in Russia, coupled with dan
ger of a Russo German alliance, tho
peace conference is said to be consid-
ering whether the associated powers
can afford to ignore the present oppo--
tunity to effect immediate agreement
with the Lenine government
