what the plan is before we jump at

There is one thing in which the
French are ahead of us. They have
the roads. Without the magnificent
highways of France it would have
been impossible to bring the war to
a victorious conclusion. Without
them the people of France could
| not rebuild the ruined section of
their country, nor could they pros
per sufficiently to make a living
and at the same time pay the
mountain of debt that the war has
piled upon them. Without them
France would not have been the
wonderfully strong and wealthy
nation she was nor could she be-
come the nation she is to be. We
too need roads. The best invest

people of our mountain section
would be in constructing system
of well-graded, Lard surface high.

JAPAN NOT PLEASED
 AT MANDATE PLANS
Question Held Up While Tokio
 Talks It Over.

Paris, Dec. Za.--Japan'S representa- tive in the supreme council has ob- jected to the form of the mandates under which the former German col onies in the Pacific would be admins tered. Time has been asked to refer the question to the Tollio government. Meanwhile the council holds the adop- tion Of the mandates in abeyance.
 The question of mandates was taken up today by the council. which considered the drafts that had been prepared and adopted two of these which Sives mandates in Africa to Great Britain and Belgium. Final ac- ton on five others was postponed on the request Of the Japanese delegate Baron Matsui.
 The mandates considered had been prepared by the mandate commission in London. They were in three series denominated Type A, Type E, and Type c. The two mandates adopted come under Type E, providing for ad- ministration under the regime of the league Of nations. The Type A man. dates apply to the Orient, and the Type C to the Pacific colonies It was the last named type Of mandate that developed the objections by Baron Matsui.
 The Japanese delegate found that the mandates for the Pacific colonies gave Japan less advantages than she enjoyed in those colonies under the German rule, it was stated. Three of the four voting delegates in the coun- cil approved the drafts, but Baron Matsui reserved the appreciation of Japan and asked for time to refer the question to his government.
 The details to which the Japanese objected were not disclosed, but it is assumed here that the question of the migration of Japanese to colonies which would come under that man. date of Australia was involved as well as the economic advantages the Japa- nese formerly enjoyed under the most favored nation clause.
