Japan Likely To Disapproue
Decrease In Naval PROGRAMS

Nichi goes on, "the policy, it may be
understood, may be summarized as
follows:
"The eight battleships and eight
cruisers plan, which had been long
cherished idea, and which was ap-
proved by the recent session, is insult
ficient as the minimum strength to
perfect the defense work of the En-
pire. In other words, in case the
powers present in the conference pro-
pose to limit naval construction on the
basis of its not going beyond the
plans now in process of completion,
the Imperial Japanese navy will have
to maintain that the recent plan ap-
proved Of tthe eight and eight unit
Is by no means its final plan of ma
tional defense. AS was explained at
tie 41st session of the Diet by the
navy minister, the Empire must have
as the minimum naval strength neces-
Sary for defense two units of eight
battleships and four cruisers of a
latest type and Of the serviceable age
that is about eight years or young
er-or three units of eight ships, total
ling "a principal vessels. This plan
must be completed regardless of the
tine of completion.
'lf because America is not a men,
Der of the League of Nations, the
members present should consider any
action made as useless and should con-
tent themselves with simply meeting
each other in a conference, the En-
pire's representatives may not express
the view Of the Empire at all"

Although this work carries with it
no opportunity for assisting in active

it enables the former agitators in
America to travel into the country dis
tricts, and therefore to obtain more
food than ih Moscow.
Propaganda printed in English sup
FLIED to The Associated Press CORES
pendent in Moscow attacked the anar-
chist idea Of communal life, and the
axponents of the system were held up
to ridicule, the favorite method of at
sack in bolshevik propaganda.
To Americans in Moscow, who have
appealed to the bolshevik foreign Of
ice for permits to leave Russia, soviet
officials have stated that Americans in
Russia will not be permitted to leave
the country until the United States
government negotiates with the boil
'sheviki and offers to release from Gus

ists supposed to be detained there.
Replying to the statements on the
part of the Americans that several
hundred revolutionists already have
been deported to Russia, the bolshe-
vik officials, according to statements
by the detained Americans to The As

nat the deportees from America to
Russia are anarchists, and are not
wanted there any more than they are

Russia Remains One Country
Sealed To Post War Traffic

China and bolshevik agents cross the
700-mile Cobb desert in their trips to
and from the Vladivostok district.
1t was this old-world caravan route
that The Associated Press correspon-
dent used to enter Siberia, travelling
by train, automobile, horse and steam
boat from Peking to Verkhne- Udinsk
on the Selenga river, where travel by
the Trans Siberian railway. again is
possible.
Wireless dispatches from Moscow
state that Aataman Semenoff has
ceased his anti-bolshevik activities;
has, it is reported, even asked that his
forces be incorporated in the bolshe-
vik armies. Such action would mean
an open way into Siberia.
But Asia will never compete with
Europe for the favor of the battle
field tourist. There can be no few
days tours Of the battlefelds in Rus
sia. There war is a science of grea
spaces, as we'll as Of guns and men
and strategy. In a day Russian
armies can advance or retreat over
more ground than some European
armies covered in years Of war.
The retreat of Admiral Kolchaks
forces from Perm and Ufa ended at
Chita, 5000 miles to the rear-the dis
tance across the United States from
Maine to California-the longest re-
treat in military history. And the
distance from the Kolchak front in
the Urals to the other Russian fronts
Is that of the breadth of Europe.

LONDON. Oct. 13.-Russia remains
the one country sealed to the postwar
tourist. Until an Associated Press
correspondent and another American
recently made the 5000-mile journey
from Vladivostok, Siberia, into Russia
proper, through Moscow and Petrograd
and out across the Finnish frontier
no Americans had crossed Russia for
more than two years.
After Admiral Kolchak' defeat last
year Russia and part Of Siberia again
were united but the Red forces did not
follow up their successes beyond lr-
kutsk. Scattered remanants of Kol-
chak's forces retreated on foot TO Chita
where they joined with the Cossacks
and legionaries under Atatman Sc
menoff and there again established an
anti -bolshevik barrier.
The Vladivostok, the Siberian port,
fell TO local revolutionists who express
ed their sympathy for the soviet re-
gime but it was understood in Vladl-
vostok, the attempt to establish a
soviet regime in Far Eastern Siberia
was TO be postponed until after the de-
parture of foreign troops.
Thus Siberia remained divided, the
bolshevik flag flying in the Lake
Baikal and Maritime provinces, while
between these districts Semeoff and
his Cossacks continued to hold the
"black spot" of Siberia, as the Dol
shevih term the Cossack territory.
Thousands of refugees from Dol
shevism are gathered in Irkutsk. Their
one desire is to get out of bolshevik
territory but the Cossacks will not al
low them to pass along the railway
zone, fearing bolshevik agents in THEN
numbers. On the other side Of the
Ccssack barrier, refugees who have
gathered at Vladivostok and Harbir
during the last three years try in vair
to cross the Cossack belt into soviet
Siberia. Difficult living conditions il
Vladivostok have made them ready lis
teners to the stories of bolsheviE
agents about ideal life under the soviet
regime. Each group of refugees
wishes to be in the others shoes.
One way is open into SiberiS. A
detour of 1000 miles, through northern
China and Mongolia, across the Cob
desert brings the traveller into Siberia
across the northern Mongolian from
tier. Over this route thousands of
Chinese laborers and small shop
keepers have returned to China since
the establishment of the bolshevik re-
gine in Siberia. Those few refugees
who escape through the bolshevik
Gordon travel across Mongolia into

Senator Harding in making speech

TOXIC, Oct. 13.-Japan is not like

"All powers are agreed on that
proposition on principle" observes the
Nichi Nichi in its political news col
umn. But the United States, which
was the power that proposed curtail-
ment of naval expansion, has not as
yet joined the League and she is fast
increasing her naval strength. Even
f other powers should strictly and
faithfully adhere to the principle Of
reduction, the peace of the world will
Just the same be menaced by the pow

anything, except that each of The
members present will search into the
'leart Of another" (The first meet

Nations has been called at Geneva

With The Candidates
On The Train

with Governor Cox)
Governor James M. Cox during his
western tour set a handshaking record
That few presidential candidates have
equalled.
1t is estimated that 100000 people
west of the Mississippi river can
boast that they have grasped the hand
of the democratic candidate. The tour
required just a month, and those who
were with him feel certain that he
shook hands with at least 5000 daily.
\ Cox is an ambi-dexterous hasd shak-
er and has good stiff grip in each
hand. His system is to reach with
his left hand to grasp that of an ad
..nirer, while asother friend is holding
his right-a movement that reminds
one of the Australian crawl swimming
stroke.
| This, Cox explains, prevents the
crowds from wearing out one arm.
Throughout the tour he invited hand
shaking. He is very active and said
that the handshaking q afforded him
some exercise, after being shut up
in his private car for hours.
SOA WeSlSIl IOuI was Cilc VI tlic
most strenuous ever undertaken by a
presidential candidate, and there are
many public men who could not have
stood the strain. But the governor
came out of it with broad smile,
despite the fact that he was a tired
man when he arrived home. A tooth,
broken off on a plum seed, shortly
before the trip began, troubled him
several times and it was necessary
for him to visit dentists in between
speeches.
The life of a presidential stump cam
paigner is tireless one. Here is a
typical lay:
| The candidates special train arrives
at the first stop about o'clock, with
the candidate and most of those a.
BOARD asleep. A steam whistle, built
to be heard for miles around announces
the candidates arrival with about five
minutes of screaching, while switch
Engines join in the din by changing
| their bells merrilv.
Then*a band congregates just out
side the candidates window and begins
to blare forth it's customary overtures,
THE Stars and Stripes Forever" and
"Hail to the Chief" Although the
candidate is not due to speak until ten
o'clock, local committee swarms on
the train seeking him, not realizing
that the day before he worked just
double the eight hour limit.
After eating a hasty breakfast, the
candidate is whisked off for his first
speech and then back again to the
train. Local committees again swarm
through his car, and he is forced to
lock himself up in his compartment
70 take few glances at mail or tele-
yrams or to prepare his speeches, And
so it continues until almost midnight.
The candidate appearantly is consider
ed "super-man," who never finds it
necessary to eat meal or sleep more
than five or six hours. And then he
must try to sleep as his train rushes
en- for another day of the same "show."
Cox took the grind good aturedly
at all times and refused to worry when
his friends told him a hard day was
ahead.
"There is only one way to do and
that is to take things as they come -
he said. GAS soon as you start to
worry, you might as we'll quit"

Dear Sirs:
l was much pleased to receive your

my 20. shares of "F" stock is fully
paid up. and that l will receive
100000 in cash at the next divi-
dend period. or about 90 days. l have
made only 161 payments, so that you
have earned the 100000 for me 19I
months ahead of the guaranteed
time. am also pleased that my ten
shares of "H" stock is now nearly
two years old.
l have been a shareholder in your
company for more than 25 years and
have matured stock three times. The
first money received, l put into ten
acre farm; the next money into a
seven acre farm. Both farms have
increased greatly since l bought
them, and this 100000 l am about
to receive will come in fine, especial
ly during these war times. 1 am a
man on salary and have made small
monthly payments to you which l have
never even missed. Twice l have had
to suspend for while, but this mere
ly extended the time. l have noticed
that your net earnings have been in
creasing very rapidly for several
years. This explains why the time
of maturity is decreasing so fast. Il
notice from your last financial state
ment that these fine results have been
attained without accumulating any
foreolosed property for the general
stockhol ters. So that undoubtedly
the company must be under wonder
full management.
Yours very truly,
