Baltic Commission Woulc
Put Islands Under Guar
antee of World League.

Paris. France. July 24-The Baltic
commission Of the peace conference
presented a report today recommend
ing that the Aland islands between
Sweden and Finland. at the mouth of
the Gulf Of Bothnia, be neutralized
under the guarantee Of the league Of
nations.
The AIand islands form an archi-
pelago Of so inhabited islands. with
a population OF about 1900. The
islands formerly were held by Sweden,
but were taken over by Russia in
1903.
Early in 1918. when it was reported
the Germans planned to make use Of
the islands in connection with their
operations in Finland, Sweden sent
troops to occupy the islands.
At the peace conference a delega-
ton from the Aland islands presented
q claim for annexation to Finland
The Swedish government sent note
to Finland. in reply to one from that
government. and insisted that the fu-
ture Of the islands be settled by
plebiscite, or that the question be sub
mitted TO the peace conference.

Is Unjust To Suspect Japanese In
Shantung Affair." Says Robinson;
Lenroot For League IF Amended

HIASHINGTON, D. c.. July 24.-De-
w claring the treaty provision CIV
ing Japan control in shantung had
been repeatedly misinterpreted and
generally misunderstood" senator
Robinson. Democrat. Arkansas, told
the senate today it was unjust to
suspect Japan's motives or to ques-
ton the declaration of her statesmen
that the territory eventually would
be restored to China
1T has been stated by one senator -
said Mr. Robinson. that by the
treaty. "Shantung. with its 10000. 900
inhabitants. is wrested from China
and presented to Japan. The terri
tory involved in this controversy is
limited to a small land area Of ap-
proximately 200 square miles and an
equal water area. The total popula-
ton Of the leased area is approx
mately 10000.
Origin Of German Claims.
Little dispute arises as to the
origin OF Germany's claims in this
area As part Of the movement Of
the nations to secure concessions in
China. Germany in 1896 undertook
negotiations for rights and privileges
in the Kiao Chow region. March G.,
1S9S, Germany concluded a treaty
with China by which she acquired a
lease Of 90 years on both sides OF the
bay Of Kiao Chow.
That Germany regarded her rights
IN Shantung as subject TO seizure by
the allied nations at war with her
is disclosed by her efforts to antici-
pate their occupation of the leased
territory. Japan obtained possession
by act of war and while in possession
secured the agreement OF China to
recognize any settlement that she
might make with Germany upon the
restoration Of peace
May Criticize L. S. Action.
Senators have expressed indigna-
ton at the agreement of Great Britain
and France during the war to sup
port Japan in her demands at the
peace conference. Perhaps the same
criticisms apply equally to the action
Of the United States following these
agreements in recognizing the spe-
cial interests OF JaDan in China It
is said they were all made primarily
TO encourage Japan to increased ac-
tivities in the war. The crisis of
the war was approaching. If not at
hand. The allies were straining every
resource to beat back the ever
increasing forces OF the enemy
I believed then. and I still be
lieve, that the policy by which
Japan was cemented to the allies

Continuation of Same Tax

Years Will Furnish
Plenty of Funds.

For the last twenty years KeokuR
| has been paying tax just about
equal to that required for the new
city hall, and the blow to the pocket
book has been such a light tap that
nobody noticed it, according to John
Nagel.
Just twenty years ago, Lee county
had outstanding $55O,00O in bonds,
said Mr.. Nagel today, and they have
been paid off without the people
really knowing anything about it
keokuk paid about 100000 of them
in taxes, and ! never heard tax.
payer mention the item in the whole
twenty years"
Twenty years ago John Nagel was
supervisor OF Lee county, when that
bonded debt became due. 1t had
been hanging on with small decrease
in size for many years and passing
as heritage from one board of SUI
pervisors to another and one gen.
Grafton to another.
Painless Paying Of Bonds.
John Nagel did not say SO, but he
guish that debt. and he suggested

Painless extraction of taxes from
Lee county people is real achieve

same method may be applied to the
Payment of the cost of the new city
hall for Keokuk, project which
seems to strike popular chord just
now, combining as 1t does a memo
rial to the Keokuk soldiers of the
world war.
The secret of paying of bonds
without knowing it seems to lie In
making them serial bonds.
Serial bonds are those made pay
able, not all at once, but part every
year.
Secret Is Serial Bonds.
When the $550,001 in bonds fell
due and had to be refunded because
the county did not have the money
to pay Them" said Mr.. Nagel, ~ said
that there was not much use in SIM
ply making more bonds to take their
place, due in twenty years, that
would have to be refunded again
then, and SO on into the future, as
they had come down to us from the
tpast-I don't know just how old
they really were, but it was years
and years before.
ut was too big a job for Lee coun-
ty to think of paying over a half
million dollars all at once, either
then or twenty years later, which is
now. And the plan of paying off
part of them every time the bunch
of bonds became due had not prac-
tically operated in reducing the debt
very much.
