Far Eastern Question Brought
Nearer Solution By Plan
To Aid China, Claim

SAN FRANCISCO, June 14-The
Far Eastern question, which for years
has directly or indirectly affected
all the leading nations of the world
has been brought one step nearer
solution by reason of the formation
of the consortium to aid China, mem
bers of the Commonwealth Club OF
California were told by Thomas w
Lamont, member of the New York
banking firm of ]. P. Morgan and
Company, who has just returned
from the Far East, where he was
instrumental in effecting Japan's en-
trance to the consortium.
"Japan's entry into the consortiun
upon precisely the same terms as
England, France and America, has ad
vanced at least one step, solution OF
the Far Eastern problem" Mr.. La
mont said
Free Exchange of Views
81 am informed that in the two
years it has taken to form the con
sortium, there has been the freesi
interchange of views between the
governments of the United States
Great Britain, France and Japan.
81 was received in Japan with the
utmost cordiality by members of tbs
Japanese banking group, for long agt
they learned to speak the language
of international cooperation in bank
ing matters.
Japan undoubtedly showed broad
mindedness and wisdom in waving
her reservations regarding Manchuria
and Mongolia She was courageous
in recognizing that these reservations
were of no value to her, and if main
tanned, would only serve as a bar tC
her entering as full and free part
ner in the consortium.
U. S. Policy Criticised
1.-The policy of the United State:
Government respecting the Far Eas
has been criticised in the past al
not having been altogether constant
But the success of the consortiun
and the maintenance of American
trade in the Far East, rests. in the
last analysis, not upon governments
but upon private citizens and upoI
their support. For this new plan o
Far Eastern cooperation | bespeal
your cordial support, your thoughtfu
interest and the free expression o.
your views

For Alaska Urged By
Brooks Committee

SEATTLE, June 14.-That the twl
American steamship lines now serv
ing Alaska, the Alaska Steam shir
Company and the Pacific Steamship

merry tenders and other private yes
sells operating to points on the main
travel routes should be authorized
and encouraged to carry passengers
and freight in the public service.
Other recommendations made by
the committee include:
Concentration and coordination
under Federal control of Alaska
lands; construction and development
for comprehensive. system of roads
and trails; investigation of the feast
bility of smelling copper ores within
the Territory; immediate develop
ment Of the pulpwood industry; ad
ditional surveys of Alaska timber
