TO AVOID
BREAK WITH JAPAN
STATE DEPARTMENT WILL CON.
TINUE NEGOTIATIONS FOR
A NEW TREATY.
Il 10 Not Believed That Settlement Of
vexed Problems Will be Effected
Until Special Session Of Con-
oress Has Been Called.

Washington. = Although Toxic is
grafton and California land controver-
|sy before President Wilson goes out
LOT office, it is declared that there is
no real expectation of definite action
before the Harding administration
comes In and special session of con-
gress Is called.
The object of the Wilson admins
tration, it is said, is to avoid a break
with Japan and smooth matters over
pending the change to the Republican
regime, when Mr.. Harding will decide
whether to follow the line of compro-
Vmise taken by Mr.. Wilson or to adopt
p more radical policy.
In accord with this purpose, the state
department will continue the negotia-
fiOns with Japan fr a new treaty defin-
ing the rights of Japanese now in this
country, and for broader gentle
mems agreement" under which Japan
would undertake to prevent the migra-
Iti0n Of any Japanese to the United
States for permanent residence. Even
AZ the negotiations should produce a
formal treaty submitted to the senate
before March 4, action upon it by that
body before the meeting of the new
congress will be an extremely remote
possibility.
BY that time, however, the Califor-
mia legislature probably will have en-.
lacted the proposed new law approved
by the referendum, further restricting
the property holding rights Of Japan
Aese, and will have brought the con
kr0versy to a head.

Land Covered With Ice and Tree
Trunks and Forest Uprooted.

sive avalanche which descended from
the summit of Mont Blanc into the

village of Portud a pine forest, cele-
brated for Its antiquity and the size
OF the trees, was absolutely uprooted.
A mountain torrent named the Doire

the banks so that the village of Por-

LEAGUE APPROVES
THE MANDATE PLAN
PERMANENT BODY OF NINE
NATIONS TO be CHOSEN
~ THE COUNCIL.


Gepeva.lThe council of the league
Of nations on November %. approved
the final draft Of the project for the
permanent mandates commission, def.
nitely accepting the tentative proposal
to have the commission comprise five
non-mandatory and four mandatory

members be chosen by the council.
The permanent commission. 1t is
forecast win probably meet once q
year at Geneva and review the admin
istration Of the mandate holding coun.
tries.
Detailed rules for the commission
also were ratified.
The council did not consider the
proposed invitation to the United

cussion over disarmament.

entirely changing their present status.
The committee will recommend. how
ever, that, while these states are not
admitted to full membership. their
delegates shall be allowed to sit In
the assembly In a consulting capacity
without the right to vote.
Among the important questions
which will come before the assembly
this week Is the question Of admitting
Austria and Bulgaria to the league of
nations. Despite the strong opposition
Of Serbia, Rumania and Greece to the
granting Of membership to Bulgaria at
this time, large majority Of the dele
gates seem in favor Of taking that step.
There 10 virtually no opposition in the
case Of Austria. the application Of
which probably win be favorably acted
upon In . few days.

The Empire of printing pictures alleged to be pro

The fact is, of course, that neither contention is
correct The Empire gets the illustrated news service
of the Sun and New York Herald of New York, owned

GRIGBY'S RECORD STANDS THE TEST.

AS we near the end of the campaign for the cleo
during the ensuing years the voters OF the Ter
ritory, should make note of and remember that the
record of Delegate Grigsby has been attacked In only
one particular by his opponents-and that attack mas
been completely exploded His claim that he secured more
beneficial legislation Alaska in year than ever
before had been secured in whole has not even
been disputed.
The only charge that has been made against MT
Grigsby has been in connection with the Jones Bill
Tie charge Was whispered about by Judge Wicker
NJ and given voice by Mr.. Sutherland and Mr..
stEard, that Delegate Grigsby had not opposed leg
slaton that was designed shut the Canadian steam
ship lines out of Alaskan 1t has been proved
by such an abundance of evidence that this charge
is false that Delegate Grgsby not only opposed the
legislation but did effectively in many instances,
that 1t is certain that the Wickites sorry they
sprung it.
Tie end of the campaign finds the record OF
achievement by Mr.. Grgsby standing out as the big
gest Feature of the discussions 1t has been shown
beyond question of doubt not only that he has
great ability and peculiar facility for meeting and
vincng people but that his experience has specially
qualified him for work in Congress and among the
Departments at Washington for Alaska. He is by far
the best qualified man this Territory sent to
and all the voters stockholders he would be almost
unanimously reelected to the position in which he
is serving the people well.
