The body Of Japanese delegates. be-

forty different countries OF the world
Ihis was one of the remarkable
phases OF the confereiiee, Japan be-
ing still young industrially, took 40
much interest in this conference that
with this big body Of delegates there
Were couple OF dozen newspaper

veiopments Of the conference.
Deep Sincerity shown
It may well be said that IN. Ian.
anese delegation not only represent
ed the biggest body In number. hui
also showed the deepest sincerity and
zeal In all the business OF the confer
ence throughout the sessions. Because
Of the difference OF language. they
did not play very conspicuous part
as eloquent speakers: rather they re.
nsained silent. but when they spoke
their words were the result OF the
deepest deiiberation and with great
responsibility.
As the result OF the decisie us Of
the conference. to which Japan only
too willingly agreed she has 10 raise

that these troubles viii be solved be-

packers declared today. Their pur-
pose, they said, is to put on record

They are determined, they said to get
something about the league written in

Keep Issue Alive.
Letters are to be written to candi-

as many delegates to the national
conventions of both parties as can be
pledged to work for inclusion of an

THE league of nations issue can
never be settled to anybody's satisfac-
tion until 1t has been voted on by the

only way to find out whether 1t is or

To Force Campaign.
While the irreconcibles" are thus
organizing to force the league into the
campaign, both the democratic and
republican forces in the senate are
working equally hard to keep it out.
To do this they think all that is nee
essary is to ratify the treaty. SO
strongly do eighteen republican sena-
| tors feel on this point that they have
served notice ON Senator Lodge, their
leader, that unless he brings about a
compromise, other senators will treat
with the democrats and perhaps vote
with them, to accomplish ratification.
This is the second time within a week
that virtual ultfmatum Of this sort
has been served on Lodge. Behind II
are the groups known as the mild
reservationists and the middle ground

While these senators blame Lodge

promise, they also say Senator Hitch
