From Tokyo.

Honolulu, Hawaii, April 22.-"Pan-
fcky" conditions reign in Japan, ac-
cording to a cablegram from Tokyo
received by Nippu Jill, a Japanese
language newspaper here. Defation
of currency and rapid decline of stocks
and prices Of commodities, with i'm
ports in excess of exports, have
brought about an alarming situation,
the message said. The textile indus
try has fallen off, the yarn of silk
markets are slumping, industrial plants
are discharging employees by the hum
dreds, many smaller plants are closing
down entirely, while others are operat-
ing on part time, and business Of all
kinds is coming to a standstill. accord
ing to the papers information. The
Yokohama dockyard has discharged
1000 workers. the message concluded.

LEAGUE DENOUNCED BY
PREMIER LLOYD GEORGE
British Statesman Sounds Death knell
of the Nations Pact at
San Reno.

San Reno, April 22.-What virtu-
ally amounts to the death knell OF the
League of Nations as constituted at
present, was sounded by Premier
Lloyd George when, after having hast
lily summoned the French and lta!-
ian premiers, he delivered an impas-
stoned speech, hOtly denOuncing the
present organization of the league as
a time-lOsing machine likely to en-
danger rather than help the peace Of
the world
The British premier's sensational
prOnouncement was provoked by
Frances protest against the supreme
council proposal to grant Germany
another three-months' delay in evac-
uating the Ruhr region. Premier Mil
lerand haC complained that one OF
the vital provisions of the league calls
for the immediate disarmament of
Germany. (The covenants clause on
this point applies to all countries.)
1t was then that Premier Lloyd
George launched into his peroratiOn,
swaying his hearers with extraordi-
nary elOQuence. He more than hint
ed that the league covenant was only
inserted into the Versailles treaty
out of Difference to President Wilson,
and that now that Mr. Wilson is to
all intents and purposes out &c Euro
pean politics, the time has come to
clear the decks Of impracticabilities
and openly declare the League of
Nations an impossible dream.
An intensely animated conversation
followed, Premier Millerand finally
agreeing to the three-months' delay
to Germany, which probably means
early withdrawal of the French from
Frankfort.

ALLIES ARE UNITED IN
THREAT TO GERMANY
Supreme Council at San Reno Holds
the Berlin Government to
Versailles Terms.

San Reno, April 26.-The supreme
council adopted the FrancO-British
declaration with regard to Germany
after inserting a clause declaring its
readiness to take all measures, even
the occupation of additional German
territory, if necessary, to assure the
carrying out of the treaty Of Yer
sailles.
The adoption of this clause gave
rise to some discussion. Premier Nitti
Of Italy opposed military measures.
Premiers Millerand and Lloyd George,
however, showed the italian prime
minister the necessity of considering
such an eventuality.
Foreign Minister Hymans of Bel
GUM and Baron Matsui, the Japanese
ambassador to France, joined them in
this point of view, which was adopted
by the council. The declaration is par
ticularly pleasing to the French.
1t was announced that representa-
tives of the allies will meet the Ger
man chancellor Mueller, at Spa, Bel
GUM, on May 20.
The supreme council informed Ger
many that the question Of the strength
Of her army will be made the subject
of a conference between allied and
German representatives on May 20.
This notification was in reply to Ger
many's request to raise the maximum
Of her army from 100000, as prov ided
by the Versailles treaty, to 100000.
The supreme council definitely de-
cided not to discuss the Adriatic prob
lem again until a later date, probably
at a special conference in one of the
allied capitals.
