Especial Cable to The Washington Herald

BY PHILIP KINSLEY,

TOKYO. April. 81 (delayed).-The
! reception rendered the wood-Forbes
commission in Japan, the first stop
on its way to the Philippines. has
been characterized as an act Of great
courtesy by the members as the full
purposes of the mission is to study
conditions in the Philippines and
not to make any report on the Japa-
nese situation.
Americans ling in the orient and
japanese officials, who were an4-
iously waiting for the wenatchie
which was five days overdue, had
planned to have Gen. Wood and w.
Cameron Forbes as the guests of the
Japanese General stan. but this was
.posteoped until the two disting-
uished Americans return to Japan,
when they will be the guests of the
government. %
Competing for Trade.
Gen. Wood is avoiding every
statement or act that might lead
to possible misapprehensions in
Japan now. At a dinner last night.
given by the American Associations
in Yokohama and Toxic. he made
IL plain that America had entered
in competition for a share of the
Oriental trade. He said he hoped
to see brought back to the Ameri-
can flag the share OF the worlds
trade which rightfully belongs to
it. He declared in the future the
government would stand closer be-
hind American commercial repre-.
sentatives abroad
The Generals last statement was
taken by some Japanese publicists
today as a menace to Japan and as
an argument why the nation should
not disarm. They declared 1t was
strong illustration of Americas
e1ilitaristic policy.
Gen. Wood spent, his second day
in Japan at a hotel in Miyanoshita,
fashionable -. mountain resort,
avoiding all affairs that had been
planned in his honor. He will take
the train on Thursday for Mas
gasaki. where the transport War
rem has been waiting for him for
week.
sixteen Days at Sea.
The commission spent sixteen
days at sea in studying and or
ganizing its work. The intention
is to visit each province in the is
lands. 1t has been reported in ad-
vance that the Filipinos expect little
hope for independence from the
mission. as much of the public i'm
provement built up by Mr.. Forbes
has shown great deterioration under
the native rule of the Harrison ad-
ministration. The transport will
stop at the northern islands of the
group on the way to Manila, reach
ing the Capital in about a week.
There they will begin organizing
and preparing the work and then
divide the investigators into groups.
Mr.. Forbes will ride with zone
party into the head hunters coun-
try, while Gen. Wood win go south
among, the Moros where he used to
govern.
The Japanese. situation makes the
Philippine problem more interesting
but its reference, to the American
possessions is the only bearing it
has on the work of this mission.

SCHOOL BUDGET
TODAY MAY ASK
100000 FUNDS
Commissioner Kutz Com
pletes Revision; Sena-
tor Capper Offers Aid =,

Revision of the budget for the
school building program submitted
to the District Commissioners sew
eral months ago by the Board of Edu-
cation. was completed yesterday by
Engineer Commissioner Charles w.
Kutz. and probably will be presented
TO the Commissioners for final action
at the board meeting today.
Although Commissioner Kutz would
not reveal the amount which re-
mained after his blue penciling."
it is believed that the original pro-
gram. which fixed $4,000. 900 as nee
essary for new buildings. has been
reduced approximately 80 per cent.
Favor in Congress-.
That the bill will be given every
consideration by the Senate District
Committee when it reaches that
body, was indicated in a letter re-
ceived by DR.. Ballou. superintendent
of the District schools, from Senator
Arthur Capper, of Kansas, yester-
day.
Senator Capper declared that the
District schools should be a model
for. the rest of the country and that
the school problem here would be
given special study.
Conditions have been brought to
my attention" he said, which de-
mand immediate attention. 1t is
the purpose of the subcommittee in
undertaking this investigation to get
to the bottom of the entire school
situation and to make recommenda-
tions to the Senate as to what i'm
provements should be made. Par
ticularly do we desire to have the
information for the use of the Sem
ate Appropria tions Committee. which
must provide the money needed by
the schools.
Too Long Delayed.
"As a member of the select COM.
mittee of the Senate which investi-
gated conditions relating to the ad-
ministration of the schools, l be-
came interested in the entire school
system here. The erection of new
school buildings has been delayed
too long. Adequate appropriations
should be made for new schools as
soon as possible, so that the work
may be begun with little delay"
Senator Capper has the support of
Chairman Ball of the District Com
mittee in the proposal to go thor
oughly into the school situation.
According to District officials who
have assisted in revision of the pro-
gram the costs of labor and build
ing materials have dropped since the
program was submitted, in some in
stances as much as one-third.
May Ask $1,000, 900.
1t is believed that the total which
remains of the $4,000, 900 program
submitted will be s2,500,80OE or $3,-
100000 when presented to the Com
missioners.
The special budget for school
buildings. which is considered as ex-
traordinary legislation, probably
will be submitted to Congress by
tomorrow and will represent the
cost of new buildings and additions
to existing structures needed imme-
diately to relieve the crowded con-
ditions of the District schools.

The purpose OF the conference Is
to bring about a reduction OF pres
ent ornaments. aud a Limitation on
future ornaments That this pur-
pose Is desirable and must be
achieved Is universally held But
In the methods by which an agree
ment Is to be expressed, and IN the
things which are TO be carried out
in pursuance OF that agreement
there is more diniculty than the
average persons know.
II Is easy to say that the nations
must agree to reduce their arma-
ments; but the fact is that when
the military and naval experts Of
the world put their minds about
the precise. form for reducing such
an agreement TO writing, they are
faced with technical difhculties
which, although not insuperable.
are nevertheless extremely baf-
ling.
II can be stated as a fact that
the military and naval experts of
our own nation, as well as those OF
the other nations concerned. have
teen busy for three months trying
to arrive at some practical formula
by which the agreement 20. limit
ornaments can be carried out The
governments of the other nations
are In as complete good faith about
this purpose as our own govern
ment; but with all the good faith In
the world. there is the most seri-
Gus difficulty in putting into actual
figures and concrete terms the for
mula OF definite acts through
which the nations must carry out

IL there is not success, the thing
that viii happen at the end Of the
conference will be this: President
harding, who, as the proposer of
the conference, has the chief re-
sponsibility, will be under the
necessity Of saying to the world
that he and the others associated
with him made an effort in good
faith TO bring about an agreement
and that this agreement was pre-
vented by some one OF the delega-
tons What one of the delegations
Is It that would be willing to take
the odium Of being named by PresI-
dent Harding as responsible for
lack of success? The conference
cannot merely break up with moth
ing done 1t is called for a speci-
fic purpose. II that purpose Is not
achieved, the blame must lie upon
the shoulders Of some one delega-
ton, and the world will know
which delegation was at fault
There Is no delegation and no gov
eminent represented at the confer
ence that could endure such odium.
The doubts which hang about the
conferences are not doubts as TO

the doubts that exist among per-
sons close TO the conference are

at than a formula for the reduction
OF nsvies. But even 50, Il contains
difficulties which have not yet been
surmo -nted. Probably the most
practical formula for reducing arm
les that has been proposed starts
with the case Of Germany. Germany
has q population OF. roughly, 10000
900 people. The Judgment OF the
Statesmen and military experts Of
the world, as expressed in the recent
peace treaty, says that the size OF
the army which il is reasonable for
Germany TO maintain for police
purposes is 100000. That is the size
of the army which Germany is per-
mitted TO maintain under the terms
Of the Versailles treaty. You can
start at this point and say that IL a
nation OF 10000. 600 is entitled 10 an
army of 100000. then other nations
shall be entitled to maintain armies
that bear the same relation 70 their
populations. oddly enough. IL this
formula were adopted il would give
the United States an army OF pre-
cisely the same size that we now
have. Our population is about l05.-
600, 900. That is, roughly, one and
a half times the population OF Ger
many. Our army is now 10000 and
that is exactly one and a half times
the size OF the army that has been
adjudged as reasonable for Ger

the support Of armament is much
heavier than ours. II is true that
the government of Japan is not as
completely responsive to public
opinion as our own; but Il is also
true that the government OF Great
Britain. due TO its different form, is
probably even more responsive to
public opinion than our government
Any person who has had the op-
portunity to know anything Of the
current public opinion Of those two
countries understand well that
there is in each Of them largely the
same urge upon their governments
to accomplish something in the
coming conference that there is

Must Bow to Public Opinion.
The very nature Of the coming
conference Is such that IL IL fails
the failure must lie in the refusal
of some one government to assent
20 reasonable measures for the pre-
vention of war. That refusal can
only come about in such a way
that the taking OF this recalcitrant
position would be practically the
equivalent of an aggressive act
looking towards war. There il no
government among those invited TO
the conference which could take
such a position and survive the dis
approval OF their people at home
These governments are all compos-
ed of statesmen who are eager to
continue in power and to keep their
hold upon the confidence OF their
people.
No statesman and no government
could emerge from the conference
bearing the odium OF having frus-
trated success without occurring

the displeasure of their own peo-
pie The essence of the coming
conference is such that at its end

imagine.
