WATSON HITS SEIZURE
OF SHANTUNG BY JAPAN
Permits international Blackmaid In
Name OF Universal Peace and
World Fraternity.

Neutrality-suspicious. the turning
over Of Shantung to japan as crime
Senator James e. Watson, of Indiana,
is making a determined fight in the
Senate to have reservation placed in
the peace treaty which will limit the
seizure to a period of six years. He
says:
! "In 1896 Germany made an enforced
treaty with China by which she took
over the port.of Kiou Chou and the
mines and railroads of the great prov
ince of. Shantung, which has tremen-
dous resources of every variety. By
the terms of the treaty of peace just
concluded Germany. turns over to
Japan all her right, title and interest
in the territory. In reality this means
giving over to Japanese sovereignty
forty millions of Chinese, together
with their wealth, against the united
will OF the Chinese people and with
out one single soul of them being con-
suited. The much-vaunted doctrine of
self determination is cast to the wind
and the liberties of these people en-
tirely ignored
ut must not be forgotten that China
was our ally in the great struggle for
freedom Just closed. She made a de-
claration Of war against Germany as
soon as the public sentiment Of her
citizens could be brought to express
sion. She sent her citizens every
where necessary in order to aid the
cause. At all times she was willing to
serve the common cause. And yet the
sole Concession" to China as the re-
suit Of her participation in the war
is the wrestling from her of one Of her
richest provinces and the placing of
1t under the domination of her most
hated rival. That Japan's aim is sim
lister is shown by the fact that early
in the war she made demands upon
China which would have meant the
REIMBURSEMENT Of her sovereignty.
The excuse for the present monstrous
session is that Japan would not have
signed the league of nations covenant
had It not been granted. In the name
OF universal peace and fraternity this
international blackmail is held up to
the people as an act of virtue, one al
together to be commended because of
its expediency. The truth is it is
nothing but the triumph of the strong
over the week and Is the most striking
example of the doctrine that might
makes right that has been given to
the world since the overthrow Of Prus-
sian autocracy. Germany's crime in
wrestling the province from China by
force is now perpetuated' by reason of
her being perpetuated by reason of her
being supplanted by Japan, in spite
of the fact that in the treaty Germany
is supposed to have been punished for
her autocratic behavior and made to
make full reparation. In the league
we are asked to send our soldiers to
uphold the boundaries thus made in
the treaty"

URGES QUICK REPORT
OF JOBS NOT FILLED
Employers Requested to Speed
Applications and Avert
Possible Crisis

Some employers who need men are not
letting the United States Employment
Service know of their wants, Many man
ufactureres. whose wartime orders have
been Cancelled. have shut up shop and
are waiting for normal conditions before
resuming their industries.
These points were brought out today
by G. X. Stokes associate director of
employment service for Pennsylvania,
who considers that the state is now fac
ing a crisis in the matter OF unemploy-
ment
Pennsylvania was the last state to
report n surplus of labor, but the stua-
ton here has suddenly taken a new
turn" he said. ''It is estimated that
there are now more than $500 discharged
soldiers. sailors and marines and more
than 1900 women who were engaged In
war work, who are idle and cannot find
work.
Until recently we have been able
to place thousands of applicants who
have come to the bureau" Mr. Stokes
states. but the difficulties have been
steadily increasing. This week for the
first time, we have been forced to turn
away men and women from our offices.
"I want to appeal TO manufacturers
and other employers of the state 70
make known their needs. for I am con-
fldent that there are still thousands OF
positions which have not been filled.
We can Ali any vacancies regardless of
what or where they are"
Mr. Stokes believes that many Of the
service men from other states who have
been discharged here are not going
home because they think they can ob-
tain better employment in this section.
MANY of the men have got the idea
that employers are paying fabulous
wages here. and instead of returning
home they are waiting to get work here
which will bring them big money" Mr..
Stokes continued "Of course. this opin-
ion Is erroneous, but, nevertheless, wide-
spread"

There is one fine point about Hindu
music. One can't skid off the key. In
