POISON GAS AWAITS
WIDER CONFERENCE
Issue Will Be Decided When
All Nations Sit at
the Board
DELEGATES GET REPORT
Question About the Same as
That Involved in Land
Armaments.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. C.. Dec. 22.
The widespread agitation to forbid
the use of poison gas in future wars
will have to go over until the next IN
ternational conference, when other ma
tions concerned with the use of poison
gas will be at the council table, so that
whatever action is taken will be unani-
nous and effective for all nations.
That became known tonight when it
was learned that the international COM
mittee on poison gas completed its re-
port and submitted 1t to the chiefs OF
the delegations considering the limita-
ton of navies.
The committee took the position that
nations other than those now partici-
pating in the Washington conference
are concerned with the poison gas issue
They backed their stand with the fact
that the nations now at the council
table are those primarily concerned
with naval armament and with prob
lens in the Far East and the Pacific.
The position is virtually the same as
that taken with regard to land arrna-
ments-that nothing the conference
could do would be effective. since large
armies are being maintained by nations
not party to the present meeting. The
nations of the world should act in con-
cent on such issues, the committee
which studied the question believes.
This is not a blow at the campaign to
stop the use OF poison gas In future
wars. The expectation is that the senti-
ment will grow so that when the next
conference is called-and there is likeli-
hood that it will not be long delayed
the question can be taken up by all the
nations in the hope that this method OIL
killing can be forbidden.
The nations participating In the pres
ent conference are the United States,
Great Britain, France, Japan. Italy
Holland, China and Belgium. 1t is the
belief of those who have been studying
the poison gas question that all other
nations should join with those now In
Washington, so that the action may be
effective and gas forever barred.
The stand Is taken that il these ma
tions now were to forbid the use OF
gas they would put themselves to dis
tinct disadvantage, since they would lose
their point of argument to accomplish
a world decision. 1t is admitted thai
the nations now participating In the
Washington sessions are in better po
sition to manufacture poison gas In tim,
OF war than any of those outside the
conference, with the possible exception
of Germany. This, they reason, will be
a strong talking point when the TIM
| finally comes to consider the whole
question,

that sort. One of the minor puzzles
of the conference is why the Chinese
are especially fond of this blond
whisky. You would scarcely think
the Orientals would run to Scotch.
The Japanese, spending money like
happy mariners on shore leave. have
made ample provision for liquid calls
upon their hospitality. They have
about all there is, including their ma
tive sake. Smooth stuff with a wicked
kick.
This promising 12ook applies only
to the sacred precillcts of the diplo-
mats, where the law of Mr. Volstead
does not run. The rest of Washing
ton, save for the sinfully rich, must
rely upon their pet bootleggers and
take the usual chances Of such guile
less trust. The consequence is that
there will be a great exodus to locali-
ties where the Eighteenth Amend
ment is not taken quiet so seriously.
Railroad officials say there has never
been such q demand for reservations
to New York.
Visitors in Washington groan over
the high prices of the town-rents
food, service of various kinds. For
eigners especially have been shocked
at the cost of apartments. restaurant
meals and ordinary comforts, not to
speak Of the luXuries they demand.
The thrifty French raise eloquent eyes
to heaven as they pay their bills. The
British, pretty careful with their
money, grumbe occasionally. Only the
Japanese seem to take the exalted
prices as matter of course. Nothing
seems too dear that they take a no
ton to.
Louise Owen, English newspaper
woman, representing Lord North
cliffe's papers. tells this story about
the celebrated editor: II was just a
girl when had to get out and make
my own living. / heard that North
cliffe's right hand man was being pro-
NOTED. I went and applied for the
Job. Northcliffe asked If I was capa-
BILE and we talked about that. He
asked IL was keen and we talked
about that. We talked about every
thing but money. Finally I asked
about salary. Northcliffe said. oh
that's all right. I shall arrange that
But / wanted to know what the man
whose place 7 was taking had been
getting. Northclffe was surprised at
that, because it never had occurred
to him that woman should be get

He agreed to try me out for a week

been paying women what he pays men

The most powerful superintendent
n the world, the Japanese battleship
Tosa, has just been launched at the
Nagasaki plant Of the Mitsubishi Com
pany Her sister ship. the battleship
Eaga, was launched last month in the
yard of the Kawasaki Company at Kobe.
1t now appears that the japanese Gov
trnment intends to rush these ships to
completion, pending final settlement OF
the naval treaty. These are two of the
ships that are to be scrapped within
three months under the treaty.
Displacing normally. as we measure
displacement, the Tosa is of about 41.b0O
IONS. She is 715 feet 2 inches long has
a beam OF 106 feet inches. including
her blisters. her normal draft is 80 feet
9 inches and her maximum draft is over
II feet The main battery is of ten .45
caliber naval rifles mounted in Ave turrets
on the center line Of the ship. as in the
British battleships of the King George V.
type These new Japanese 10 inch guns
are said 20 fire a projectile weighing
2.46O pounds, and so the broadside fire
Of the Tosa is 24.600 pounds. as against
i6,7Sf pounds for our battleships OF the
MARYLAND, Colorado, Washington and
West Virginia class, and 15,6OO pounds
for the great British Hood.
Twenty 50-caliber 5.5-inch guns are
said to compose the secondary battery
of this great ship. The anti-aircraft
battery Is composed of four 50-caliber
3-inch guns and the torpedo battery
consists of eight 21-inch torpedos. four
mounted ON deck and four in submerged
positions. The Tosa is probably the best
protected warship afloat. The belt
armor is supposed to consist of twelve
inches of steel and it is supplemented
by a large amount of internal armor
which makes the ship virtually proof
against aircraft bombs and high angle
shel fire.
In addition to this Is the anti-torpedo
and bomb blister protection which rem
ders the ship virtually proof against
these weapons. The turrets are, of
course, the most heavily protected.
Their facings are extremely heavy and
the tops moderately so, with the sides
able to resist the shells from destroyers
or fast cruisers.
The engines are turbines and the
steam will be supplied from boilers
fitted to burn both coal and oil.

furnished debatable ground on which
tations advanced both in support and
opposition to 1t.
The direct cause of this difference
Of opinion relates TO the manner in
which the four Power treaty was pre-
sented and explained by Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge at the plenary
session of the international confer
ence on December 10.
In defining the scope of the treaty
Senator Lodge described the terri
torial possessions of the signatory
countries with almost minute exact
ness.
He made no reference to the home
land of Japan as coming within the
scope of the "insular possessions and
insular dominions" which the sigma
tory Powers pledged themselves to
respect" in conformity with interna-
tional conventions.
The reason that he did not do so
was that the representatives of the
United States. Great Britain, Japan
and France did not think it necessary
or important. But the failure of Sena-
tor Lodge to cover the point actually
lies at the back of most of the criti-
cism of the document and is mainly
responsible for the agitation among
Senators who resent the negotiation
OF international instruments, either
directly or indirectly, suggesting al
liances with foreign Power or groups
of Powers.
The American officials are of the
opinion that Senators Lodge and
Underwood will be able to answer
every point raised against the four
Power treaty in the Senate. Opponents
of the treaty in that body are equally
positive that no explanation will JUS
tify "either the secrecy with which
the international contract was ne
gotiated or satisfactorily explain the
surrender of the American delegates
TO British influences"
The New York herald., 1921-12-23

tional agreements originating in or
resulting from the conference.
The "irreconcilable" group in the
Senate, led by Borah on the Republi-
can side and Reed on the Democratic,
is opposing the four Power treaty on
the ground that it is too nearly like
the League of Nations in that It con-
tains some of the most Objectionable
features of the league covenant and
countenances guarantees even to the
sending of American soldiers to fight
for Japan.
Leaders of both groups agree that
present indications point to the uIti-
mate ratification of the instrument
with a specific reservation declaring
the United States does not guarantee
the territorial integrity of the Jap
anese homeland.
Up TO date two Republican Senators,
Borah Udaho) and La Toilette (wis.),
have openly opposed the treaty. Three
Republican Senators, McNary (Ore.),
Ladd IN. d., Franco (Md.) and per-
haps Johnson (Cai) will urge some
reservations. Senator Mccormick
Gll). one of the "irreconcilables' in
the fight against the League OF Ma
tions, would not define his position to-
day.
Senators Underwood and Hitchcock.
FOR tho Democrats, have declared
themselves in favor of the instrument,
although the latter said to-day he
would have 10 be convinced that Japan
proper is not included In the terms Of
the treaty before he would consent to
vote for IL.
