gulps OF fresh air into his lungs.
Three other men lay sprawling un-
couthly In chairs, and two dogs lay
moti0nless on the hearthrug
After a moment OF two the man
withdrew. only to appear again with
one Of the others In his arms. And
then, having dropped his burden

OF the American Congress, not only in
the present session but for many
years, reaching back notably to the
attitude of Congress In the trying
period preceding American interven-
tion in the World War
The Japanese, in short. believe that
the United States is much more able
than either their own country or Eng
land to go on building and maintain
ing battle fleets, but they do not be-
Congress which would make the ap-
preparations.
Which brings up the real reason why
President Harding and Secretary of
the Navy Denby forced through the
| naval appropriation bill continuing the
present building program, despite the
violent opposition to it. 1t explains
also, in part, the desperate resistance
of the President and the Secretary of
War Weeks to the cuts in the size Of
the army which Congress forced at the
present session.
This obvious tendency of Congress
to cut military and naval appropria-
tions despite the wishes of the Ad-
ministration seriously impaired the
big stick in reserve for forcing inter
national agreement on armament limi-
tation. 1t soothed the fears of other
powers, that, unless some agreement
should be reached, the United States
| might become seized with a desire to
| dominate the world by sheer military
/, strength, and thus lead them to be more
amiable in agreeing to curtail all mill
| tary preparations.

ABOARD STEAMSHIP KASHIMA
MARU, Oct. q (By Radio to The As
sociated Press) ).-Japan stands ready
to cut down her navy If the powers
reach an understanding at the forth
coming conference at Washington on
ern questions, according to Admiral
Tomosaburo Kato, member of the
Japanese delegation to Washington,
which is travelling to America aboard
this ship.
The Admiral, who is Japan's Naval
Minister, made his statement in an ad-
dress to the passengers aboard.
He declared that although he had
been criticized as the man responsible
for Japan's eight-and-eig naval build
ing program, and therefore loath to
undo his work, nothing was further
from the truth.
Admiral Kato asserter that his posi-
tion had been clearly outlined in an
interview wiyen to The Associated
Press at Toxic last year, and he made
the claim that Japan was the first Of
'ne powers TO dennltely set q limit to
which she was willing to cut her navy
On the other hand, the Japanese dele.
gate said, if no national accord is
reached at Washington Japan would
not and could not curtail her navy
program a single inch.
He said that he regarded the oues-
tion Of limitation of armament a the
paramount question to be discussed at
Washington. and that the Far Eastern
questions, although important. We're
secondary to the armament problem.

Senator Spencer, Republican, of Mis-

acteristic force and dignity, uttered
in the language OF the statesman what
every man who believes in the Consti-
tuition of the United States accepts
zens of the United States to vote shall
not be denied or abridged by the
United States or any state on account
of race, color or previous condition
Of servitude, is the fundamental law
of the land"
Senator Willis, Republican. of Ohio,
said: "The Presidents ringing state
ment in defense of political and eco
nomic equality of individual oppor-
divergence in things social and racial,
is as courageous as it is true. The
country will applaud President Har-
ding's clearness of statement and
patriotism of purpose"
Senator Heflin. Democrat, of Ala
bama, said: "There is no escape from
the conclusion that absolute political
and economic equality between the
white man and the negro means the
wiping out of all color lines in pars-
nerships in business and in the cleo
tion of negroes to Office over white
people. Social equality is next door to
such humiliating and disgraceful pol
icy. So far as the South is concerned
we hold to the doctrine that God AL
mighty has fixed the limits and bound
ary lines between the two races and
no Republican living can improve upon

ment limitation.
In discussing this question with
newspaper men, officials of the Admin
istration say that both subjects will be
discussed without any special prefer
ence as to order, and seek to give the
impression that really it does not make
much difference one way or the other.
Actually, however, every one here
knows that no matter how the CONVEX
sations may proceed there will be no
names and handsome red and gold
seals attached to any document regard
ing armament limitation until there is
complete and definite decision and
agreement, if not satisfaction, on the

Japanese have not been advised Of

ment race than either Britain or Japan.
