LENROOT FORESEES END
OF Wartime POWERS
Saws Peace With Germany Will Be
One of First Acts of Ad-
ministration

NEW YORK, December 11.-One OF
the first acts of the new administra-
ton will be to make peace with Ger
many and repeal the wartime powers
of the President. Senator Lenroot OF
Wisconsin declared in an address be-
fore the annual convention of the In
ternational Garment Manufacturers.
Revision OF the tax system, which
Senator Lenroot said would come i'm
mediately after March 4, must be one
in which "each citizen will have to
shoulder his burden, and no more"
with proper revision Of our tax
laws" he said, 1--WE can do much to
aid in bringing about permanent
prosperity. There is only one just
rule of taxation. and that is that
every man should contribute toward
sharing. the burden of the government
according to his ability"
Although he could see no immediate
hope of reductions in taxes, Senator
tration, he hoped, would be able to
reduce the government expenditures
by billion dollars.
I'VE must expect to raise upon the
average four billions a year for Some
years to come, Senator Lenroot de-
for any great reduction in the sum
total of taxes. except as business con-
ditions. as they are today, will auto
matically reduce the amount"
He counseled "cool judgment and
STEADY purpose" among business men
"if the country is to come through the
present readjustment period without
disaster"
There can be no permanent pros
perity," he said, until general price
levels are reached, and the aim and
purpose of every business man should
be to establish the price level as soon
as possible"

DENIES JAPANESE
AREFOND OF WAR
Their National Characters
tics Misunderstood, De-
cIares the Premier.

| TOXIC, December 11.-Denying that
Japan is militaristic and inviting for
eign critics TO study Japanese history
to prove the contention. Premier Ia
kashi Hara has written an article en-
titled Japanese National Character
istics as Misunderstood by the World y
which is published in the Chuwe, an
! organ of the Seiyukai party.
1T is charged that the Japanese is
an aggressive race, bellicose and lack
| ing in civilization other than the art
of war; the premier wrote. This
misunderstanding may be attrlbuted
| to three defective points of view.
First. japanese history is disregard
I ed; second. Japanese literature and
, art are set aside; and, third, the true
conditions of the life of the people
| have not been studied by the critics
Japan has no record in her history
of having conquered other races. as
every one knows. The foreign wars
| in the Meiji era. especially the Rus
sian war. were simply wars for self
defense against foreign aggression.
! IF Japan's history is examined
closely 1t is rich in records of war
fare, to be sure, but it is great
| that the Japanese people have been
a warlike race altogether. born and
reared in the midst of wars. The wars
| of Japanese historical records have
been political wars In the days be-
| fore civilization had advanced, polit
ical and military wars were employed
| for the same purpose by all countries
which are now civilized.
Japan has never violated interna
tional laws or international faith.
| She has been rather too timid to do
| SO. or too inexperienced for it. In
| other words. she has not yet been de-
| graded to that extent If there is any
| fault to be found with the Japanese
1T may be. as critics at home tell US,
| that japan is too modest and re-
| served. In respecting international
| obligations and in being loyal to
friendly nations there perhaps is no
| country which will surpass Japan
though many nations apply the same
| principles of moral conduct between
nations as between individuals.
| To be sure, we cannot say that
there has been no cause for misun-
derstanding as regards affairs with
China in the past, but that was a
question of the ability of the men in
power at the time. It was not due to
any OF the traditional principles of
Japan. That the result of the deals
with China were not such as a sec
ton of Americans had understood
them to be is a matter which has
now been brought home clearly to
the people Of the world. OF that 1
am firmly convinced"

Hungary faces the hardest winter in her

Food Needed In Germany.
Germany must buy a couple of mil
lion tons OF food in foreign markets.
The rationed bread is bad and the suf-
fering among the middle classes is
great. Czechoslovakia is short of GER
tain food essentials, which she must
buy in the world markets. The Ameri
can Quakers, who are feeding half
million children in Germany. find that
the need is so great that they are trying
to increase their program 30 per cent
and feel that it should be doubled.
1.-The European children's fund of the
American relief administration is. fur
nishing one meal a day to about 3.000.-
600 children in these countries and is
distributing large quantities of clothing
1t also has warehouses in all the coun-
tries named. by which persons in the
United States can supply friends with
staple foods through food drafts. The
early setting in of cold weather, coupled
with the continued scarcity of food and
faulty means Of distribution. indicate

What seems a wrong and nothing less
You yet may have good cause to bless.
Rusty. the Fox Squirrel.
All the day after the visit of his
small cousin. Chatterer the Red Squirrel,
Rusty the Fox Squirrel was in better
spirits. Chatterer had given him hope.
hope that some day soon Farmer
Browns Boy would set him free SO that
he could go back to the Green Forest
He had begun to hate that cage in
which he was a prisoner. He hated it
no less now, but the thought that he
might not have to stay in it much longer
helped a whole lot.
All day long he thought Of Chatter
er's visit early that morning, and he
quite forgave Chatterer for his meanness
in trying to drive him away from the
Green Forest 1t had been very good
of Chatterer to come way over to that
barn to visit him and cheer him up.
What he didn't know was that Chat
terer had not been wholly unselfish in
that visit. He had had a very good
breakfast of yellow corn from one OF
Farmer Browns bins before he had
visited Rusty.
That night after farmer Browns Boy
had left Rusty was still thinking of
Chatterer and hoping that Chatterer had
been right, when he heard a soft thump
on the roof of his cage, just such a
thump as Chatterer had made when
ne JuInp0u OHIO IL
looked up expecting to see Chatterer
there again, and in the dim light, for il
was already. quite dark in the barn, he
thought at first that it was Chatterer
He opened his mouth to speak when
he saw that this small person had a
much longer body than had Chatterer
and that he was glaring down between
the wires with eyes that were red with
savage longing. Rusty's heart almost
stopped beating. At least, that is the
way it seemed, for fear, dreadful fear
was clutching at it. He knew now who
that was He knew that he was star
ing up into the cruel face of Shadow
the Weasel. Big as he was, ever sc
much bigger than Shadow. a. feeling OF
helplessness swept over Rusty, for he
knew that he was no match for thai
slim, quick-moving little hunter Sc
Rusty simply crouched down in cor
ner Of the cage and shook with help
less terror He had quite forgotten that
as he couldn't get out so Shadow couldn'i
get in.
Shadow bit savagely at the wires a
couple of times. ran all over the cage
looking for a hole big enough for him to
get through, and, finding none. snarled
angrily and bounded away. For some
time Rusty remained right where he
was, too frightened to move. At last
still trembling. he crept into his bed
