ArmIstice Day Celebration In the Al
lied countries-Eminent Men at
Geneva for First Meeting Of
League Of Nations Assem-
Acknowledgements In
Near East.
BY EDWARD w. PICkARD.

Takashi Hara, premier Of Japan
Baron Shldehara, japanese ambassa-
dor to the United States, and Roland
Norris American ambassador to
Japan, all are hopeful, even conf
dent, that better understanding be-
tween the two nations will soon be
brought about and that international
relations are in no grave danger of be-
ing overstrained. Marquis Okuma,
former premier. is by no means so OPP
timistic since the Californians In
dOrsed their anti-alien land law. In
an address before general meeting
of the japanese immigration associa-
tion last week in Tokyo, Okuma said (:
ut Is strange how cool the japanese
are towards problem deciding the
fate of their brothers in America"
The anti-Japanese movement In the
United States, he asserted, endangers
relations not only between Nippon and
America, but also between Japan and
other powers.
Germany" he said, "was reduced
from leadership among nations be-
cause she ignored the principles Of JUS
tlce and humanity, and now America,
Ignoring them, is setting an example
that Canada and Australia will prob
ably follow.
Must we, one Of the five great
powers, remain silent when others act
inhumanely and unjustly towards our
nationals? That Is not the way the
welfare of humanity is promoted"
Premier Hara regards the Callfor-
mia agitation as sectional and not rep
resenting the country at large, and be-
lieves that If the thinking people in
both countries are careful not TO let
the agitation 90 to extremes, sound
Judgment eventually will prevail and
the matter will be satisfactorily ad-
justed.
Undoubtedly 1t will be left to the
new administration and the new SEN
ate to make the adjustment, which
may take the form Of new treaty.
The plan favored by Japan Is that
Japan shall undertake to prevent fur
Their japanese migration TO the United
States and that our government shall
undertake to safeguard the property
rights of the japanese already in the
country. Tokyo would prefer to have
this In the form OF strengthened
"gentlemen's agreement" but Cover
nor Stephens and other leaders of
opinion in California maintain the
japanese question never will be set
tied permanently until the gentle
mems agreement" Is abrogated, Jap
anese excluded by statute and Japa-
nese property-holding rights restrict
ed, as contemplated by the California
referendum measure.

The Walsh congressional committee
which for more than year has been
investigating the operations of the
shipping board and Its Emergency
Fleet corporation stirred up a hornets
nest last week when It published the
report Of A. NJ. Fisher and J. E. Rich.
ardson, who had conducted inquiries
for the committee. This makes broad
charges of corruption of officials and
employees Of the corporation, graft in
purchasing supplies for and In repair
ing aforementioned merchant ships
and the use Of political and other in
fluence In obtaining construction con-
tracts and the ALLEGATION Of vessels to
operating companies. The board Is
accused Of gross waste Of the govern
ment funds and Of failure In co-opera-
ton. In his testimony before the COM
mittee, however, Mr.. Richardson said
his report did not purport to fix any
Illegal act on any person. Charles
Piez, director general of the corpora
ton during the war, before being
called before the committee entered a
general denial Of the charges of cor
ruption and graft. Commander A. b.
Clement, executive assistant to Admit
raj Benson, chairman of the board,
told the committee the only real
ground for criticism Of the boards ad-
ministration was the lack of perfect
coordination between the different
departments. Representative Walsh
said Admiral Benson probably would
be called on to testify. There was
considerable criticism Of the commit
tee for making public, for the second
time, charges against the shipping
board without first giving the organi-
cation a chance to defend itself.

Developments Of the week in the
Near East were not especially favor
able to the allies In several instances.
First, and most important was the
news that Armenia had concluded an
armlstice with the Turkish national
lists, whose seat of government is In
Angora. The Turks had captured
Kars and Alexandropol and were
moving toward Erivan. The Geor-
gians being threatened, were moblllz-
Ing on their frontiers and hoped to
save Batum. This action of the Ar
menlans opens the way for direct
junction Of the nationalists and the
Russian soviet forces and creates a
serious condition for Great Britain,
France Italy and Greece In Asia MI
nor. Renal Pasha's armies are still
intact, because the allies cannot get
far from the sea coasts, and his gov
eminent is going ahead regardless of
the fate of Constantinople and the sui
tan. Its authority Is supreme in Ana
tolia and 1t Is probable that the Turks
there will elect new sultan after sep
aratlng the sultanate and the cali
plate, and that thereafter new caliph
also will be chosen.
The natiOnallsts insist that the
treaty Of Sevres must be revised and
that Smyrna, Cilicla and part of
Thrace must be returned to Turkey.
France especially would oppose this,
fearing that Germany would take II as
a precedent and ask modification Of
the treaty of Versailles. The Turkish
treaty has not yet been signed the
Porte having said the time for such
action was unpropitious.
