LONDON NEWS APOLOGIES
Admits Imputations Against Four
Ministers Are RaseIess

London, July 31.-(By A. P.)-The
Daily News today prints an apology
to J. Austen Chamberlin, chancellor of
the exchequer; Walter Hume Long,
first lord of the admiralty; Sir Eric
Geddes, minister without portfolio, and
Sir Auckland Geddes, minister for ma
tional service and reconstruction. The
newspaper says that its investigation
has proven its imputations against these
officials to be baseless.
! A London dispatch of Wednesday
stated that writs had been issued
against the Daily News on behalf of the
ministers above named for alleged libel.
The specifications of the alleged libel
concerned comments on charges made
by the Weekly Nation that the ministers
were In possession of various Russian
mining and development company
shares.

Toxic, Aug. Redistribution to China
BY Japan of those parts of Shantung.
including Kiao-Chow, now occupied
by Japanese forces. viii be made with
out unnecessary delay, but the time
required will be dependent upon the
attitude of China. said Takashi Aara,
Japanese premier today, In answer to
a question as TO when actual restora-
ton would take place.
The premier in answering the query
of the Associated Press, made the fol-
lowing statement:
My colleague, viscount Uchida,
minister OF foreign affairs. issued n
statement on August 2 in explanation
OF our policy respecting the Shantuns
question. That statement represents
the considered opinion of this govern
ment and have little to add in deal
ing with the same subject
(Viscount Uchida. in his statement
which was referred to by the premier,
said that Japan was willing TO restore
Shantung to China and would enter
into negotiations with the Picking gov
eminent as soon as possible after the
Versailles treaty should be ratified by
Japan.
THE question Is often asked as TO
when Japan will return Kiao-Chow to
China. j would point out in reply that
for the restitution of Kiao- Chow, de-
tailed arrangements should be worked
out before hand in common accord be-
tween the Japanese and Chinese gov
ernments and that the length Of time
required for such arrangements de-
ponds largely upon the attitude of
China In any case. we fully realize
that 1t is as much N our own interest
as in the interest OF China to accel-
crate the conclusion of all needed err
rangements and to effect without un-
necessary delay the restitution of
leased territory which we have sol
EMMY undertaken
Premier Hara and high officials of
the Japanese government discussed
frankly with the correspondent what
was called the wave of anti-Japanese
feeling" in America They were plain
ly disturbed by reliable reports re-
eeived here showing uneasiness as to
Japan's attitude relative to Shantung
as one cause for the sentiment of dis
content among the friends of Japanese
but felt Japan's repeated assurances
as to restitution with the oremior's
statement to the Associated Press to-
day should clear the air and prevent
any deplorable misunderstanding.
1T is frankly admitted here that ia
pans so-called militarism is respon-
sible for much uneasiness abroad. The
Japanese insist there is distinct
movement under way to curb to excess
sive influence held by the militarists
which might be calculated to become
harmful to the legitimate develop
ment OF the nation and iaimtcel To
Japan's relations with America.

Dor cease profiteering in goods and
wages" the next cycle of the season
will effect a condition of living now
undreamed C the senate and house
agriculture committees We're told to-
day by j. r. Howard, president of the
Iowa Farm Bureau.
Mr.. Howard appeared as spokesman
for the committee recently appointed
at a conference of farmers from Iowa,
Nebraska, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois.
Denying that the farmers were re-
sponsible for present conditions, Mr..
Howard said the high cost of living
was due to ''extravagant profits of
middlemen." failure of the American
people to practice even ordinary
economy in public and private life''
and industrial strikes Expectation of
food and clothing, he said, was no
more q contributing cause than the
heavy exports of manufactured goods
and machinery. of which the farmer
is heavy purchaser.
FAN embargo on foodstuffs to bring
down the high cost OF living he said.
will be as demoralizing to American
agriculture as the embargo placed on
foodstuffs was to French agriculture
in the time of Louis XIV"
Mr.. Howard also deplored the veto
of the act to repeal the daylight saw
ing law, and said the presidents state
ment in his veto message in effect
placing agricultural production second
in importance to Industrial production
would discourage many farmers and
probably result in decreased produce
ton on the farms.
