JAPANESE IN CLASH
ON CHINESE POLICY
MiIitarists Gain Point When
Cabinet Drops Manchuria and
Mongolia From consortium
UCHIDA is C0NCILIATORY
By the Associated Press

Toxic, Aug. % tdelayed) A quiet
but determined struggle now is under
way in japan between the military and
reactionary forces of the empire and
the liberals over the general question of
China
The bureaucrats insist that Japan
should retain all the special preferen
tial rights she has hitherto gained in
China and oppose concessions urged by
groups which seek to calm world opin-
ion concerning Japan's alleged aggres
siveness.
The diplomatic advisory council dis :
cussed the Shantung and consortium
questions. According to the newspa
pers, several members criticized the
foreign Office for undertaking to aban-
don an exclusive japanese settlement
of the Shantung matter without con-
sulting the council, which is supposed
the advise the government.
It is reported that the imperial cab
met, upholdi1s the opinions advanced
by the military element, decided to in
sist upon the exclusion of Manchuria
and Mongolia from the consortium by
which the United States, Great Britain.
France and Japan will assume domi-
nant position in the finances of China.
According to the Asahi Shimbun,
Major General Tanaka, minister of war,
has advocated the exclusion of Man
churia and Mongolia from the con
sortum, even If that step meant that
Japan should not join the loan group.
He is said to have declared it was neces =
sary to japanese preferential rights and
her privilege of economic emigration for
military reasons, including national de-
fense.
| Viscount Uhcida, foreign minister,
spoke in favor of Japan's unconditional
entrance into the consortium, explain =
ing that if Manchuria and Mongolia
were excluded from the scope of the
agreement it might be interpreted as
showing Japanese designs upon China
and might obstruct loans which are
urgently needed by China.
He is reported to have expressed the
belief that such an impression would be
inimical to the interests of Japan, and
might place the nation in position OF
complete isolation, adding that on the
contrary Japan's unconditional adher
ence would remove suspicious on the

PACKER SAYS KENYON
. BILL HITS CONSUMER
Swift & Co. Official Tells Sen
ators Costs Would Be
Passed on to Public
OPPOSES U. S. REGULATION

Washington, Aug. 25.-Further in
fation of foodstuff prices would result
from the passage of the Kenyon bill
to regulate and license the packing in
dustry. L. d. II. Weld, manager Of
the commercial research department OF
Swift & CO., testified today before the
Senate agricultural committee, where
the bill is under consideration
1.-THE main objection to the bill, y
Mr.. Weld said, ''is in the fact that it
was based upon reports Of the federal
trade commission, which are saturated
with glaring inaccuracies and misstate-
ments. This would be serious enough
but the matter does not rest there, be-
cause the bill if passed will further in
fate the already high cost of living.
"Elehcntal facts in the meat busi-
ness" Mr.. Weld said, proved that
the packers profit on meat transac-
tions was about two cents on dollar.
Consumer Sure to Suffer
THE Kenyon bill must either inter-
fere with the farmers end of meat
production or with the packers part
of the business if designed to affect
the high cost of living" he said. IF
the farmer is, hit, he will cut down
production, which will bring higher
stock prices. If the packer is hit and
his business crippled, the result will
be higher manufacturing costs, and
these, too, will have to be passed on. y
Mr.. Weld paid his respects to Com =
missioner Colver, Of the trade COM
mission, a previous witness, remarking
that 3"many of his statements here
were exaggerated and inaccurate
Swift & Co. owned no retail stores in
England and Mr.. Weld said he had
been unable to find that any other
American packer did so.
"Mr. Colver came in here and told
you gentlemen that the five large pack
ers controlled more than T5 per cent
of the business in hides" he con-
tinued. "They handle less than 80 per
cent, and l assure you there is the
keenest competition between all Of
them.
AnaIyzes Colyer's Testimony
He told you the packers handled
700 commodities. Let me reveal tC
you some of the processes by which
he reached this figure. He mentioned
as separate items butterine, oleo ant
oleomargarine. All three are the same
He took twenty three cuts Of beef ant
listed them as twenty three items. Ht
gave 115 items as a list of by products
OF cattle dressing. He mentioned
thirty seven items Of sausage.
"Mr. Colver made the fiat statemen
that the packers have not put any new
capital into the business from outside
sources since 1904 Swift & Co. alon,
has added $50 900, 900 new cash capi
= tai from sales of shares. Mr.. Colve
persistently ignored the number o
packing concerns in business in th
country Some 235 concerns are en-
gagged in interstate business besides tn
big packers. and, moreover, severa
hundred concerns do a big local ant
intrastate business.
eff the Kenyon bill is passed. tn
splendid and elaborate service given tn
country at large by the big packer
will be interfered with in a way tina
will hurt everybody concerned-pro

Mack admits that Roth can be Sc

Of Roth as a ball player. He regards
him as a wonderful outfielder, and a

Who Is This gPersOn.
Who is this person. this daring
base runner of the Griffs? Why. none
other than Samuel Agnew. the naughty,
beefy, and bulky backstOp. His dar-
ing took a run away from the Griffs
in that second inning. but what's a
run when Barney'S working like a
two-year-old and the home boys are
putting il all over the foe.
Some day-mebbe in 1923-Sam
may succeed in stealing a base. Mean
while he needs a lot Of practice. In
1924. say-or 1925-he may be the
American Leagues leading base run
ner. Judging from present-day line
ups, the same players will still be
wearing big league uniforms.
For instance. Lefty" Leifield has
hnan raamrTapfad from the 10
actually pitched two good innings
yesterday, proving 1t. And out in
right field was Ray Demmitt, the only
right fielder who ever succeeded in
making six errors in one game and
live to tell it. And at third was that
grand old kid, James Pepper Pot"
Austin. who warns the cookies of our
heart, despite his age. And at second
was Herman Bronkiet for time. Her
man, who was in this league ten
years ago.
1t Was All barney.
As for the game. the first victory |
of the Griffs over the Browns this
year. it was all Barney. The Griffs' |
marvel was in fine fettle. |
In the fifth he whitfield the side, .
he hasn't done in several |
moons. The cooling breeze seemed |
to suit Barney, even as it did the
fans.
Weilman yielded two singles and
luke double by "Spud" Murphy for
TWO tallies in the opening frame.
Thereafter. it was all Washington.
Three blows, including doubles by
Mcbride and Judge, with a pass to
Slam" Agnew, counted up four tall
les in the fourth. That ended the
nome teams scoring. but twas
