JAPAN TOLD OF ADVERSE
FEELING AS TO sHANTUNG

The Japanese government has been
apprised of the strong feeling in this
country against the Shantung pro-
visions of the peace treaty, likewise
President Wilson's statement that he
expected Japan to clarity the situa-
ton. Katsuji Debuchi, charge of the
Japanese embassy in Washington,
yesterday called at the State Depart
ment and discussed at some length
the Shantung provisions of the treaty.
1T has been learned that at present
no disposition has been shown in
japan to amend the treaty in any re-
spect. But in Japanese circles here
it is asserted that in the event that
should either the French chamber
or the American Senate make any
reservations or changes substantial
ly affecting the principles upon which
the treaty is drawn, the Japanes gov
eminent might attempt also to make
reservations, including possibly pro-
visions to safeguard the principle of
racial DISCRIMINATION and other
IDEAS which the Japanese peace COM
mission preached at Paris.

that the sugar producers are not get

That agreement is to continue until

bers were making profit of as
much as a dollar a bag on sugar.
Senator Smoot also pointed out that
the export of sugar had ceased and
that this cannot longer be urged as
an excuse for the high prices. He
contended that the consumers should
not pay one cent more for sugar than
they have paid in the past
Senator Sherman of Illinois wanted
to know how the housewives can do

Limitation of two pounds a customer

that this wartime restriction had

well, the grocers of Washington
haven't caught up with the process

sales to two pounds per purchaser,
replied Senator Sherman.
Action Of dealers in some localities
in limiting retail purchases of sugar
to two pounds per person was criti-
cised in the House yesterday by Rep
resentative Rulings, republican. Penn

occasion for such curtailment.

Mr.. Williams testimony IN the
course of the afternoon yesterday was
largely an elaboration of denials pre-

a party to a suggestion made to the
Federal National Bank officials that if
they would deposit 100000 with the
Chatham Phoenix Bank in New York.
the Federal would be made deposit
tory for a large part of the Emer-

Letters from r. w. Boiling, in
charge of the division of operations
of the fleet corporation. and from l.
G. Kaufman. president of the Chat
ham Phoenix Bank. were read into
the record. both denying that any
such arrangement had ever come to
their notice, or that any such scheme
was followed in placing the funds OF
the fleet corporation in the various
national banks.
The testimony of John Poole, pres
ident of the Federal National Bank
and Frank j. Hogan. one of it's di-
rectors. was branded by Mr.. Boiling
as largely a fabrication and where
not a fabrication. a distortion of &C
tual facts" Mr.. kaufman's letter
said he had questioned all the officials
of the Chatham Phoenix bank and
that they all assured him no such
suggestion had been made by any OF
them, or that they had ever heard OF
such suggestion until they saw the
