PARLEYING OVER AGENDA
By the Associated Press.

TOXIC, Sept. 25.-The Japanese Gov
Office, is still considering the pro-
gramme. OF the Washington confer
ence. and has meanwhile requested
Ambassador Shidehara 10 continue
conversation with Secretary of State
Hughes on this subject. Whether a
formal answer proposing modifica-
tons and reservations will be made
has not been decided.
II is understood that Japan's gen.
eral attitude will be that of coopera-
ton with the United States in the un-
derlying spirit Of the conference, but
in connection with the tentative
agenda suggested by the United
States. Japan may propose mutual
cessation of fortifications in the Pa
ciic, and with reference to Far East
ern political matters propose the OPEN
Ing Of the interior OF China for the
also to obtain food and raw material
considered so vital TO Japan's exist
ence.
In this connection attention is called
to contribution by Premier Hara to the
Diplomatic Revietc, In which nc declared
that Japan was prepared TO discuss at
Washington such fundamental theories
as were necessary to secure the opening
Of the world to all races and the re-
moval OF artificial barriers FOR the Sc
curity OF the life OF all mankind
He added that the calamitics OF war
would not be entirely removed until in
equalities among nations We're removed.
So long as one race looked down on other
races. raised unwarrantablc barriers and
gave discriminatory treatment. II could
hardly be said that the cause of war had
ceased to exist. No race. he asserted.
should adopt measures calculated to
compel the suicide OF another race. while
the supply OF materials necessary FOR
the clothing and feeding Of mankind
should be distributed by the various ma
tionnls as equally as possible.
"If the whole efforts of a nation must
be devoted to obtaining food. and no
surplus energy IL left for the advance
nsent Of civilization" continued the Pre-
mier. "the future OF that nation Is in
deed gloomy. Japan is faced by such a
condition. The world should be thrown
open go that the free, unrestricted trans
portation OF supplies may be facilitated
by the removal OF all artificial economic
barriers"
G. p. Warren, new American Ambassa-
dor to Japan. presented his credentials
at court yesterday. His reception was
an unusually brilliant function and was
marked with references to the coming
conference on Far Eeastern affairs and
limitation Of armament.
owing TO the Illness OF the Emperor,
Ambassador Warren was received by
Crown Prince Hirohito The text Of his
address 10 tho Crown Prince WAS not
made public but Il was understood the
Ambassador expressed belief that the
conference would provide An opportu-
nifty for declaration Of principles
which would not limit the jusz activities
or nullify the just aspirations of any na-
tions, but would establish an under
standing that would stabilize the future

Attitude Toward Arms Conference
Less Important Than Her Reaction

The attitude of the Japanese Gov

many of the leading men Of the en-
pire, as well as some Of the most in

squarely In favor Of cooperating in the
move for an agreement to limit arna-
ments. The military party. however,
which is In control, has not up to date
been influenced by the growing senti-
ment in favor Of disarmament or by
the outspoken advocacy of 1t by the
leaders OF the trade unions, which
adopted resolutions urging the Gov
ernment to assent to the American
suggestion.
The Toxic Government is running

ect with the utmost caution. though
there Is scarcely any doubt but that
II will be compelled to play the game.

CABINET REFUSES TO ALTER POLICY BECAUSE OF U. s.
Tokio Newspapers Publish Decision, Foreign Office
 Will Not Affirm or Deny. MAY BOW TO ALLIES
Another Peace Conference Considered Probable if
 U. s. Contention Wins.

TOXIC, April 20.-The Japanese cabinet decided yesterday that the recent note from Charles E. Hughes, American Secretary of State, rela- tive to mandates and particularly that over the island of Yap, offers no reason for altering Japans pol icy that the Yap mandate is hers and will be retained, Tokio news papers assert today. The Foreign office refused to affirm or deny the report
 Japanese newspapers generally consider the American attitude un- reasonable but many believe that if the Allies yield to Americas insist ence that the mandate be surrend- cred Japan will be forced to bow to such decision. Opinion is held that another peace confei ence is prob able
 Charges Answered.
 Statements made by Vice-Admiral Tomosaburo Kato, Minister of Ma rine, last month relative to the Jap anese naval policy are regarded here as intended to answer charges that Japan is incurably militaristic and is insisting upon naval eXpan- sion. These statements, which were made to the Associated Press are also looked upon as paving the way for an international discussion of naval policies. Representative Jap anese declaredthat if the naval race between Great Britain and the Unit ed States continues, Japan must be obliged eventually to drop out be- cause of financial consideration.
 Yukio Ozaki, former Minister of Justice, and one of the leaders in the movement for a curtailment of naval expenditures, delivered lec- lures to great crowds in fifteen cities recently, and he announced that 96 per cent of the people who heard him expressed themselves in favor of armament reductions.
 Position Explained.
 Publishing Vice-Admiral Kato's statements to The Associated Press the newspaper Nichi Nichi Shimbun of this city, quoted naval officials as saying that the Minister of Ma rine clearly explained Japans posi- tion. They were of the opinion that President Harding would call a naval conference, but emphasized the fact that the real difficulty would come in finding a formula for carrying on reduction of naval programs. The Yoki-Uri Shimbun of this city declares it is convinced that M. Kato consulted the cabinet before making his statements and therefore. they can be interpreted as emobdying the intentions of the government. The newspaper says that considering the minister's in sistence before the Diet upon his project for an eight battleship-eigh battle cruiser project, his new de- claration was surprisingly inconsist- ent and liable to confuse people as to its real significance.

GOVERNOR PLAYS LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE FOR CRITICISM OF
 TRUSTEES WITHOUT HEARINGS

In a special communication sent both Houses of the Legislature this morning, Gov. Thomas Riggs, as Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Pioneers Home, takes issue with the Inspecting Committee on its action in submitting @ condemnator report without giving the Board an opportunity to be heard. He Ga- clares that the report is based oil ex-parte evidence which should rot be accepted as conclusive until it mas been established to be true.
 The communication is severely critical of the procedure of the Conn mittee and suggests that the Com mittee take up its charges in detail with the Board, The commuicatioh follows in full:
 "To the President of the Senate
 and Speaker of the House Q!
 Representatives
 "The Board of Trustees of the Pioneers Home has read the report of the Legislative Investigating com mittee which recently visited Sitka and is surprised at the finding con tained therein. As the findings seem to be largely the result of eE parte evidence submitted, and as the Board has not been approached for inforamtion concerning some of the criticisms and alleged irregular ities in the conduct of the Home in justice to itself, the Board feels that it should have been given an opportunity to be heard prior to the submittal of the critical report of he Legisclature Such legislative procedure is quite unprecedented and I have never before heard of condemnation without hearing those concerned, especially as some o. the committet in the report may du great wrong to those criticized.
 "lt would therefore seem to the Board that the committee can do nc less than to take up with the Board each, criticized item by item. pre- senting to them evidence on which the committee bases it's assertions not only for the information of the Board if there has been any abuse or administration. so that such abuse may be corrected. but. also, that from their files the Board may be able to give answer to- the allegation which seem unjust and unwarranted
