Hopes to Save Her Latest
Dreadnaught and Scrap

ADVISORY COUNCIL
MEETING CALLED
Fears Difference of Opin-
ion on Special Rights
In Manchuria.

TOKYO. Nov. 20.-Presumably y
acting on news reports from wash
ington, the Japanese navy is urging
the shipyards to speed up the
launching of the dreadnaught Tosa,
requesting that the date for this be
December instead of December
Is. This is believed to indicate
Japan expects to save the kaga,
Tosa, and Mutsee. If 1t can get the
Tosa afoat in time, scrapping the
older Settsu.
Interest now shifts to the Far
East problems with indications that
Japan will concede all but Man
churia and Saghalin. meeting of
the diplomatic advisory council has
been called for Tuesday to frame
definite instructions to submit to
the delegates of which the Ashahi
in an inspired article says that
China and Siberia should be set
tied on the principle of territorial
integrity, open door, and equal op-
portunity, but Japan fears her view
will differ from that of other pow
ers regarding her special interests
in Manchuria and Mongolia, and
evacuation of Saghalian.
Japan. the Ashahi says, holds the
powers acquiesced that Manchuria
Is not recognized as Chinese terri
tory by their tacit recognition OF
the Russian invasion thereof and
also by the consortium where ia
pans relations in Manchuria are
regarded as special because four
railways there are exempted from
the consortium. II also holds the
powers have recognized the neces-
sity of Japan's procuring food and
raw materials from Manchuria.
Therefore Japan probably will no:
demand annexation or a protector
ate. but will try to maintain its
treaty rights, although abandoning
one or two items covered by the
twenty-ope demands. These refer
to foreign loans on the security
of taxes in that region since Japan
now admits this violates the open
door.

REDS GUARD FRONT
AS WAR LOOMS UP

MOSCOW, Nov. 20.-A serious sit

and Finland because of raiding ban

are armed with the tacit consent
Of the Ffnns.
According to the Soviet govern
ment. there is cohesion between the
KareIian bandits and the Rumanian
and Polish schemes of banditry. The
Soviet charges that the three gov
ernments named have reached an un-
derstanding TO the effect that they
will not interfere with bandits p-
Grating against Russia. For this res-
son Trotsky has dispatched a regi-

There is a widespread belief in
Russia that the whites" are pre-

the Soviet either during the end Of
November or the beginning Of jan

resulted from fierce rioting here,
the initial outbreak of which fea-

for a four months visit, planning
to leave Bombay Monday for a tour
of the country. He is to hold a
