JAPAN TO URGE MONROE
DOCTRINE" FOR FAR EAST

PARIS, March 1O.-If a clause is
inserted in the constitution OF tire
treaty OF peace giving specific recog-
milton Of the Monroe doctrine, japan
is prepared to make a demand that
the treaty shall also recognize Japan's
right to be consulted before any ne-
tion shall take any action affecting
China or any Of the other countries
of Asia within Japan's sphere OF in
fiuence.
Japan takes the position that the
United States, through the Ishii-Lan-
sing agreement, already has .recog-
nized that Japan has superior rights
in the Far East Therefore, If the
league of nations covenant. which
practically supersedes all existing
treaties, shall guarantee textually that
the Monroe doctrine is formally ac-
cepted by all parties to the covenant,
Japan feels she must have a similar
guarantee with respect to recognition
of Japan's right to superior control
in Asia.
1t was because the American COM
missioners did not think it wise to
participate in this controversy that
they did not insist upon formal rec
ognition Of the Monroe doctrine.

WAR UPON PRICES
BEGINS THIS WEEK

The Government this week expects
to take its first direct step to bring
down war prices.
Through the newly organized in
dustrial board an effort will be made
to make a big reduction in the price
of iron and steel. There will be
a conference here wednesday Of q
committee of steel and iron men. re-
Gently appointed by the industry and
headed by Judge z. H. Gary, OF the
United States Steel Corporation
The plan is to have the steel men
and the board agree on prices at
which iron and steel will be sold, and
the industry has agreed to cooperate
in reducing prices to relieve the
present business stagnation. The
price Of pig iron, the basis Of the
industry, probably will be the first
to be reduced. and the boaEd plans
to fix a price that viii stand for
some time 50 as to assure confidence
IN going ahead with business prof.
ects.
The prices Of food. textiles. and
building materials win be taken up
after the steel and iron problem Is
settled.
On the iron ana steel committee
that will confer with the board are

Secretary of the Nav Daniels

crets for Congress, it was learned to-
day.
Daniels originally planned to sail in
April, but moved up the date to March

his new naval program, based on the
lessons of the war, ready when Con-
gress meets. This will be late in May
or June, according to present expec-
tations, Daniels said.
Proposed sinking Of the German
fleet is one big question certain to
face Daniels when he arrives in Paris,
although the Secretary preferred not
to discuss that matter prior to his
conference with Admiral Benson
there.
Daniels and his party OF naval ex-
perts sail Saturday on the Leviathan.

BELGIUM WANTS FIRST
INDEMNITY FROM FOE

PARIS, March 1O.-Belgian repre-
sentatives at the peace conference are
taking the position that the first in
demnity paid by Germany should be
made to Belgium. Belgium's immedi-
ate needs are placed at 100000
francs.
All Of the countries have submitted
their demands with the exception of
France. The greatest sum asked 30
lar is that demanded by Belgium
1000 OO0, 900 francs. or this sum,
10000, 100000 is claimed for actual
physical war destruction and the ball
ance for thefts, unpaid-for requiBi-
tions. seizures and the like.
II the conference will not heed the
request of Belgium that she be given
priority, then Belgium will have to
ask for an interallied loan. said one
member Of the Belgian delegation.
otherwise the present stagnation
will continue, and Belgium'S economic
situation will be crippled and helpless
for long years to come" he added.

OF the population might welcome the

the present troubles is uncertain.
There Is no question that the peace
delegates desire to punish the perpe-

means Of proceeding against Won Tir-

Kaiser his status is said to be differ

MONROE DOCTRINE PLAN
WORRIES PEACE ENJOYS

PARIS, March 1O.-The question of
writing the Monroe doctrine into the
league of nations, which has been sug-
gested in certain quarters in the
United States is causing some anxiety
here. 1t is pointed out that If this is
done, il would open the way for
others to insert measures which might
Operate i'm a discriminative way
toward the United States.
For instance there would be moth
ing to hinder Japan from writing in
clause guaranteeing special in
terests in China. In fact, a great
many things might come up which
would jeopardiZe the very aim the
league OF nations was designed to
attain.

in the federal court in Boston. Judge
George w. Anderson, their counsel
appeared before the court and asked
for writs of habeaS corpus to prevent
their return to Italy through the de
portation process.
The record of the Sanchinis is ac-
cording to the police, a black one.
Their home on Mill street at the time
of their arrest was looked upon as a
hotbed of anarchy. The arrest of the
couple was the bottom of a murder
case in this city, according to the To-
cal police, when Frank PaImese was
the victim. The alleged murderers of
Palmese, Erasmo and Louis Peretta
are today in the state prison awaiting
sentence as the slayers of Palmese.
1t is claimed that the Peretta brothers
were among the gang that made the
Sanchini home their rendezvous.
Mrs. Sanchini was an avowed anar-
