HANDS OFF IN
WORLD AFFAIRS
President VIII Not Interfere Further
With International P0litics-De-
feated i'm Fiume Dispute.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l3.-The Wilson
administration for the rest of its brief
existence win withdraw from participa-
ton in international politics. This de-
csion has been reached following the
overwhelming reputation of the admin
stration by the voters of the country in
the election and was eXempGied yester-
day in the decision reached by the United
States government relative to the agree
ment made by Italy and Jugo-Slavia at
the conference at Rapallo.
This arrangement, which disposes of
the question of Fiume, IS regarded as one
of the latest overthrows of the interna-
tional program insisted upon by President
Wilson at Versailles. In spite of this fact
the administration will regard the incl
dent as closed, standing upon the presi-
dents last note, in which he said he
would accept any program urged by the
two parties interested which did not fin
fringe upon the rights of a third party.
presumably Albania.
Under the terms of the settlement
Fiume remains an independent state with
both the possibilities and probabilities
that it will become part Of Italy proper
at a later time. The outcome is regarded
as a great victory for D>Annunzio. who
deserted poetry to become an aviator dur
ing the war, and since then has defied the
world to come and take Fiume from him.

tryman, the cashier of the Dixon Union
bank, and Edwin DeDeweiler, a farmer.

Apple ThOrndyke. They paid $4,000 on
the purchase price of 100000.
The female progeny of Red Apple. the
bull dispensers told the syndicate, would
be record milk producers. One COW,
daughter of Red, was tested. Her mill,
was about 200 above par, but it is al
legged the owners Of the cows father
poured a cup or two of cream into the
pail before milking time. The farmer and
the banker bought the bull, convinced
they could not be wrong.
Returns on the bull investment, how
ever, were not enough to pay interest
charges on the investment, so the part
ners went into bankruptcy.
Countryman's liabilities are 1922, 10, ms

To RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.
Committee to Begin Bill Monday-Ex
pect New Treaty with Japan

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The house
committee on immigration win begin
sessions Monday. preparing bill to re-
strict immigration. This committee re-
ported measure at the last session to
restrict immigration for a period of two
years but it met with such strong oppo-
siti0n that the proponents decided not
to push it then fearing defeat.
Representative Albert johnson. chair
man of the committee. arrived in Wash
ington yesterday and announced that the
committee will begin hearings Monday
on the general subject Of Immigration
as well az the japanese problem as de-
veloped by the passage of the referendum
in California prohibiting japanese own
ership of land in that state.
Indications are that the committee
will defer action on the Japanese ques-
tion until the state department acts. 1t
* expected that the state department
will send to the senate Il new treaty
with Japan in which tlte latter country
will agree to prohibit Japanese Cmigra-
tion to the United States
In the event such a treaty is negoti-
ated it win carry with it the under
standing that California will guarantee
to the present Japanese residents all
civil and property rights. These nego-
tiations have proceeded so far AZ to per
NIT of the belief by the United States
authorities that the treaty will be agreed
to by Japan and the vexing japanese
question viii be solved by the friendly
action of that country.
