community everything that high stan
dard newspaper work can do.
Newspaper men will never 20 on
strike. any more than teachers. doc
tors and ministers. But they can very
well unite on a general policy, Jus,
as the doctor in most towns agree on
fair schedule OF prices. The news
peper men ought to agree on wha,
constitutes fair rate for advertising
and subscriptions, for various types
Of papers and various circulations.
In making such. rates IL should be
considered that newspaper work as a
whole has not been properly financed
In the past, and that the majority OF
the publishers have made calculations
on radically wrong figures or no fig
ures al all. The cost OF producing
a newspaper should be based on the
cost of producing a sheet that Is ex-
cellent from the mechanical stand
point, which shall give publishers and
editors rewards equal TO those in CALI
ings requiring ability, and which shall
command the work OF bright and
brainy people, making It so attractive
TO them that they will remain perma-
nently in the business.
Newspapers that do not maintain
these rates should not be regarded as
giving the community any advantage
by their cut prices. The community
should consider that they so lower
he standards Of newspaper excel
ence. that the community suffers by
heir competition.-Ex.

CONGRESSMEN CONSULTED
Ry the Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 2S.--State Depart
mcnt officers stated today that Repre-
sentative Julius Kahn, of California,
who conferred yesterday with Roland =
Morris, American ambassador to Japan,
was mistaken in his impression thar
Japan had withdrawn opposition to the
California anti japanese land law
adopted in the November elections in
that state.
Officials said abandonment of the po-
sition japan had assumed was not to he
expected. at least until after the close
of the negotiations now in progress.
Tho California representative has
called n meeting of House members from
his state for tomorrow to discuss pro-
posa that the California Legislature be
asked to enact a substitute statute
which would prohibit any alien from ac-
quiring land in California.
Ambassador Morris. who has been
conducting treaty negotiations with
Baron Shidehara. the japanese ambas
Sador here. prior to consulting Repre-

The suggestion that congressional
leaders be called into conference Is
understood to have been made by State
Department officials with view Of in
surfing approval by Congress of various
portions Of the proposed treaty with
Japan defining the property and other
rights of Japanese nationals in the
United States.
The understanding here has been that
the negotiations between Ambassador
Morris and Baron Shidehara have not
reached the stage of actual drafting of
the proposed treaty, and this under
standing was said by Mr.. Kahn to have
been borne ont by the impressions he
had received in his discussions with Mr..
Morris. Satisfactory progress, il is
said, has been made in the negotia.

MOSCOW MAY INTERVENE
BY the Associated Press

Tihis, Dec. 2S.--Encrgetic measures
against persons suspected of being Bol.
shcvik agents have been adopted by the
government Of the Georgian republic.
The representative Of Soviet Russia has
been expelled from Kutais, north Of
Batum, on the eastern shore Of the
| Black Sea, while Socialist clubs have
been raided, their members arrested and
arms and documents seized.
A sharp note has been handed NJ.
! Sheman, who represents the Moscow
government here, stating the admin
istration will not tolerate Soviet machi- =
nations in this country.
Georgia. however, Is completely sur
rounded by Bolshevik states, and 1t is
expected 1t will be absorbed by the
Soviet hurricane at any moment.
Communist leaders here have received
instructions to proceed to the city OF
Delijan, at the north end Of the lake
tionary committee. When this is ac-
complished they have been directed to
set up q Soviet regime and make IN
appeal for intervention by a Russian
army concentrated along the eastern
frontier. This plan was carried out
successfully in Armenia
Military experts believe it is with
luScow to decide whether the Soviet
my will support a local Bolshevik rev
uton. Premier Lenine is reported
- favor avoiding interference in Geor
sia, but other probable figures in the
Soviet government declare that inter
vention here is essential to the security
of Russia.
The Georgian army now number,
$4,000 men, but military experts OK
press the belief that many Of the mcr
have been converted to bolshcvism, ant
would join the Soviet armies in 0

fully equipped.

Tours, Dec. 2S. - Unqualified nc
ccptance of the twenty one conditions
laid down by Moscow is the only way
the French Socialists can join the Third

Congress was notified today in a tcle-
gram received from Nikolai Lenine, the
Soviet premier; Leon Trotzky, Soviet
minister of war, and G.. s. Iinovicff,
Bolshevik governor Of Pctrograd.
The telegram, which was read at this

to the congress by Marcel CaChin, So

says the Soviet leaders in Russia regard
as 'imbucd with spirit of reformism

Of the Center party.
''Longuet, Faure and their groups
show they have no claim TO be accepted
from the reformist camp" the telegram
continues. They have been and vii
remain determined agents of bourgcoist
influence.
The platform presented yesterday by
NJ. Faure provided for adhesion to the
Bolshevik regime in principle, without
acceptance of the twenty one point!
imposed by Moscow.
The message concludes with the state
mont that Moscow can have nothing il
common with such elements as are rep
resented by Longuet and Faurc, anC
says that "for the French workers t

p.omises would mean the death kncl

HITS ANTI.BANDlT PLAN

says SuperintndCnt Of Police Mills, Of
the suggestion of Governor Edwards
of New Jersey. that to cope more Of.
fcCtivcly with auto hauditry the police
of large cities should guard cars parked
in designated places.
Although sooner or 'ater il will bc
necessary for the larger municipalities
to provide parking spaces for motors
and to supervise ear drivers and owners
leaving cars on the streets. II would be-
impossible for tho police to handle the
proposition now" said Mills.
I'm the first place there is the lack
Of centrally located parking spaces.
Then it would bc a physical impoSsi
bility to provide sufficient number of
police to supervise the checking of the
number of machines that daily visit the
downtown sections Of Philadelphia.
Many motorists leave their cars for
only few minutes in one place and it
would be difficult to see that each man
'eaving a car checked it with the police
in charge.
And then there are a great number
of car owners who don't care whether
their machines are stolen or not they
have them insured and in many cases
would rather have the insurance money
than the Cnr.'
