ing in for naval expansion. In my opinion, it is too feeble an argument to say that the Diet must approve the estimates at once, because Amer ica is building many warships and because the presentation of the estl- mates to the next ordinary sessIon would cause delay in the completion ot the naval program"
 "Not Agressors."
 In his reply, MT. Hara, the prime minister said.
 Ut is superfluous to say that Japan is not actuated by any aggressive ambition in attending to the replen- ishment of national defense. The national defense program takes into careful consideration the number of troops and warships needed to safe guard the country. No aggressive significance can possibly be attach ed to the replenishment program which is drawn up with this in view and I cannot think that any misun- derstandings will be created in fo1- eign minds in this connection. The HdllOIlGl QCltIlSc IdS pCCA VusSeesAAo ing for some years and, as 1t fell through in the last session of the Diet owing to the dissolution of the house of representatives, the bill has been laid before the present session.
 "It is impossible to say with re- gard to any program that its delay for a year or half year is certainly ruinous, but the government is con- vinced that in view of the grave im- portance of national defense, the program which has been. outstanding for some years ought to be attended to as quickly as possible.
 "As you are aware, Japan is now among the five great powers of the world and it is important for her to be provided with ornaments to com mensurate with her position in world politics. I feel sure that the present national defense program will excite no understanding abroad and that Japan will not be credited with any ambitious designs"

Mr.. Vail retired as president of the

AS President Of the American Tsle

''Forty-two Taxpayers" Case to
+: be Argued in Washington
Tuesday
INVOLVES LEAGUE PLAN
Stocks and Bonds Case Also
Coming Up with Others.
During Week
INVOLVES LEAGUE PLAN

Next week is field day for North
Dakota in the Supreme Court of the
United States. Attorney General Viii
liam LANCER leaves tonight for Wash.
ington where Tuesday he will make
the principal argument in the familiar
"Forty-two Tax Payers case," involv-
Ing the constitutionality of the laws
which were passed by the Nonpartisan
League Legislature and put into effect
their industrial program. General
Langer will be assisted in this case,
probably the most famous which has
ever arisen in this state, by Judge W..
s. Lauder of Wahpeton and Judge S.
L. Nuchols of Mandan., The case is
called for twelve o'clock next Mon
day 1t is probable that the so-called
tin lizze' tax payers law case will
be consolidated and heard at the same
time. This action is the same as the
Forty-two Tax Payers case, except
that it. was brought in the state
courts.
F e. Packard and Albert E. Sheets,
Jr.. assistants of General LANCER will
cave tomorrow or the next day for
Washington. where they will present
the States argument on behalf of the
Stocks and Bonds Tax case and the
Cream of Wheat case. The statute
levying an excise tax on stocks anu
bonds of all corporations doing busi'
ness in the state was held uncOnstitu-
tional by the United States District
Court last December. This appeal to
the Supreme Court of the United
States was one of the most rapid on
record
The Cream of Wheat case involves
a property tax on the stocks OF the
Cream of Wheat company. domestic
corporation. levied some years ago.
The tax was sustained by the Supreme
Court of the State and the corpora.
{tion is appealing. These two cases
involve more than a half million dol
lars in taxes.
When asked about the political sit
uation General LANCER said that things
were looking good, only he hoped that
while he was gone the politicians
would get the fences all fixed so that
they would have little time to de.
vote to fighting Townley as he was
rather lonesome on the firing line.
