NEW ZEALAND BARS
ARMOUR ON u. S. REPORT
Trade Commissions Findings
Cause License Refusal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Charges that
Armour & Co.. one of the Big Five
American meat packing firms, was de-
barred from conducting an export busi-
ness in New Zealand as direct result
of dissemination abroad through the
State Department of the Federal Trade
Commissions report on its investiga-
tion of the packing industry were made
in a statement issued here tonight by
the Institute of American Meat Packers.
After erecting large packing plant
In New Zealand, the statement said.
Armour g. Co. were suddenly informed
by the New Zealand Government that,
as a result of its study of the official
summary OF the Federal Trade commis-
sion's report. 1t could not permit the
company to conduct an export business
from that country. The statement
quoted the following reply from the New
Zealand Minister of Agriculture, w. ID.
s. Macdonald. in response to an appli-
cation from the company for a license
to export meats:
IL regret to inform you that I cannot
grant this license. This decision has
been arrived at after the perusal Of the
official summary Of the report of the
Federal Trade Commission on the meat
packing industry appointed by the
United States Government"
While It was tue the New Zealand
Government had begun an investigation
of American packing companies before
the application for export license was
made. the statement said. II is equally
true that the investigation was started
about the time the Federal Trade Com
mission began Its ex partc Investigation
In this country. seeing to II that proper
publicity appeared here and abroad even
befors IT had started preparation of its
report"

MILLER MESSAGE ON
TRANSIT DUE TONIGHT
Fare and Traction Problems
Here to Be Discussed.
Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Albany, Jan. y3.

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Albany, Jan. g3.
Gov. Miller will send his fourth mes
sage to the Legislature tomorrow night.
1t will deal with reorganization of the
Public Service Commissions and the
transit situation In the entire State.
Particular attention, 1t Is expected. VIII
be given to fare and traction conditions
In New York city, and the Governors
recommendations will form the basis OF
discussion OF conference OF New York
city legislators here Tuesday.
Four other important messages are
expected also. They will deal with d.
rect primaries. water power. sports and
means of removing Inequalities In the
present taxation laws. The admin istra-
ton leaders favor the repeal OF the d.
rect primary law and the restoration of
nominating conventions, but 1t has not
been determined how far they will go.
Whether they would restore the conven-
tions for all public officers from State,
territories and towns or just for State
and judiciary officers Is still a question.
1t Is understood to be the Governor q
intention to restore at least the State
and judicial nominating conventions with
the delegates elected at a direct primary.
The three State prohibition enforcement
bills introduced to carry out the Gov
ernor's recommendations will probably
not be acted upon by the Senate and
Assembly committees until next week.

JAPANESE SEEKING
OVERSEAS MARKET
Minister Of Finance Advises
Business Leaders to Prepare
for Struggle.
CABINET FACES ATTACK
Viscount Kato Leader Of Op-
position at Reopening
Of the Diet.

Toxic, Jan. 22 (delayed) At the re-
opening Of the Diet to-day Premier
Hara and vlscount Sohida. the Foreign
Minister. addressed the House Of Peers
and later the House Of Representatives.
Numerous notices given of an inten-
tion to interpellate the Government
aroused interest, especially an an
nouncement by Viscount Kato, former
Foreign Minister. in his capacity as
leader of the Oposition, that he would
for the first time formally attack the
Cabinet from the floor of the Diet This
statement is regarded In political circles
as strengthening the system of party
politics In Japan.
Minister Of Finance Takahashi. in his
address before the Diet concerning the
budget for the fiscal year of 1921, said
it would exceed 1852. 900. 900 yen.
There have been many disturbing
elements since last year." said Mr..
Takahashi. but owing to the combined
efforts of the Government and the peo-
pie we are enabled to enter 1921 in
comparative calm. The worldwide de-
preston doubtless has been caused by
the sudden abnormal fluctuations in ex-
change after the war and the failure
of currency to circulate smoothly be-
tween countries. One nation needing
commodities might lack purchasing
power. while another with commodities
to sell could not export them because
Of the state Of exchange.
consequently the economic situation
of the world will not recover its sta
bility until the International money
market regains its equilibrium and the
exchange rate returns to its usual
basis"
To meet the situation Mr.. Takahashi
recommended regulation OF the supply
Of certain commodities as a measure OF
self-defence. Japan. he said, should en-
deavor to develop her markets. specially
in Europe and America. by seeking
overseas trade. In preparation for the
struggle ahead, he added, business
leaders should combine and form as
sociations to increase credits and
avoid useless competition. In other
words. the Minister declared. the ma
chinery of production and Of distribu-
tion should be overhauled and strength
ened.
In conclusion. Mr.. Takahashi urged
the people of japan to abandon extrava-
CANT habits and set their hearts to the
task Of building up national prosperity.

NOT MILITARISTIC,
IS CHINA'S DEFENCE
Chancellor Of Foreign Office
Compares Organization With
That Of Germany.

PEKIN, Jan. Charges which have
been circulated in some foreign coun-
tries that China has become a militar-
i5tc nation are denied by nr. Philip
Tyau, Councillor OF the Foreign Office,
in statement he has just issued
What China to-day is suffering from
is not militarism properly so-called, but
an overweight of provincial military or
ganization in relation to the general ad-
ministration." said the Councillor.
China, according to independent in
vestigation made by several departments
during the last few months, has almost
precisely the same population as Europe
40. 900, ,000-at least seven times the
population of Germany. If to the field
force permitted to Germany by the Ver-
sailles treaty are added the men in the
safety police and civic guard. and that
total Is multiplied by seven, II win be
found that the ratio In China Is inferior
to the ratio in an admittedly disarmed
Germany. In field troops and provincial
patrols, China has 100000
THAT their present organization and
their dependence on military governors
must be changed is granted But Until
decision can be properly registered
regarding the separation of civil and
military power and until tine degree OF
provincial autonomy compatible with
the sovereignty OF the republic has been
settled by Parliament and the Govern
ment II would be inviting disturbances
to attempt change.
Tho greatest enemy to-day Is not
miliatrism or provincial militancy. but
the low standard of living among the
mass Of the population and the luxury
which modern essentials such as rail-
ways and roads represent because OF
their immense first cost In compare
tive terms. The narrow margin be-
tween existence and starvation is so
easily wiped out In China's dense popu-
lation that when to this problem Ia
added the problem Of taxation the work
of the Government presents incredible
difficulties. In western countries well
articulated credit systems serve TO dis
guise postwar problems perhaps greater
than China's. but In this country they
present themselves In all nakedness
which renders evasion or postponemens
impossible.
China needs foreign help. but II
must be help justly given. She pins
her faith to the League OF Nations and
to dispassionate, non-partisan settle
ment OF hor issues abroad, because toe
often in the past 1t has been shown
that what is desired of her at home Is
not negotiation but surrender. Inter
national generosity will find a swiftei
reward here than elsewhere"

LANGDON NOT MARRIED,
HAD RUSSIAN FIANCEE
She Was at Party With Him
Just Before Shooting.

TOXIC, Jan. 81 (delayed) .-Negotia-
tions between the Japanese and United
States Governments resulting from the
recent shooting by a sentry at Vladi-
vostok of the American naval Lieut..
Langdon are progressing satisfactorily"
according to a semi-offlcial note issued
to-day.
Latest information from official
sources concerning the matter are to the
effect that Lieut. Langdon was not, as
had been reported. married to Russian
woman. although he was engaged. 1t Is
stated that he spent the hours imme-
diately preceding the shooting at the
home of Russian friends celebrating the
Russian Christmas. Among the guests
was his Russian fiancee. who committed
suicide after learning of his death and
left letter saying that she did not wish
to live without him.

CATION Of Mr. Palmers ofnc~
'.rhe only comment care to make,
Mr.. Untermyer said, sis that II must Dc
manifest to even the most club foofed
intellect that the qualified certificate OF
character I generously, and perhaps un-
cautiously gave Mr.. Palmer nineteen
months ago, and at a time whsn MS
confirmation as Attorney-General was
being opposed In the Senate was issued'

convention, and before 1t was Knowi'

IF Mr.. Palmer will publish list 81

"Of course It Is true, as my telegram
states, that I was even then bitterly op-
posed. as practically every one now Is.
to his policy Of slaughter!ng these great
properties and businesses or to their BE-

come, II II has not already arrived, when
every right thinking American who loves
ibis country will be ashamed OF what has
been done in our names and will execrate
the men who have placed us in that hu-
initiating position.
"It was all very we'll for us to have
taken over these businesses and even TO
have operated them during the war for
the account Of our Government as other
nations did, but II was quite another
matter TO have sold them and at sacr1-

WAITS FOR ALLIES TO
ACT ON DISARMING
Japan Receives the Borah
Resolution Fouorably.

TOXIC, Jan. 22.-Despatches received
here from London quote Ambassador
Hayashi as saying that Japan is wait
ing for Great Britain and the United
States to take the lead on the question
of disarmament. Unofficial Japanese
opinion here is to the effect that any re-
striction by Japan In armaments neces-
sarily would have TO follow similar
action by the United States and Great
Britain.
The resolution by United States Sena-
tor Borah for naval holiday and
it's favorable reception In the news
papers OF Japan served to-day as the
basis of the principal Interpolation In
the House of Representatives. .. Ham
aguchi of the opposition party said that
he neither was q peace advocate nor an
advocate Of war between japan and
America, but that the naval expendi-
lures of both nations should be OF the
same proportions us far as possible
America. he added, appeared to be
planning the greatest navy In the world,
but the natural resources OF Japan
would not permit OF competition with
America. Thus. he declared, there
would be a wide gulf in the naval
strength of the two nations. Great Brit
ain. said the speaker. also was plan
ming a complete naval programme, ana
il japan were thrown into the whirl OF
naval competition the nation would suf-
fer a heavy burden.
An agreement for naval curtailment,
said NJ. HamaguchL would benefit
Japan more than the other Powers.
The Opposition began an attack on
tho Government Immediately the Min
isterial addresses had been concluded
In the House of Peers Kiyoshi Naka-
sho1i. former Minister of Agriculture
and Commerce, charged that the Gov
ernment had failed to obtain the bene-
Ats from the war which Japanese par
ticipation merited. The Japanese were
powerless to deal with the situation In
China and Siberia The country was
disgraced in China and had lost dignity
in China and with the western Powers.
the speaker said.
"All we get for participation in the
war is distrust and unpopularity and
criticism for so-called militarisrn,' said
NJ. Nakashoti
Premier Hara replied that the present
disturbed condition In the Far East was
chiefly the result of the upheaval In
Russia. 1t had been impossible to secure
an agreement on the Russian question
at the peace conference, and therefore
no definite guarantee for peace In the
Far East was attainable there. He said
1t was true Japan had been criticised
as a country of militarism. The Gov
ernment he added. could only exert
every possible effort to remove such q
misunderstanding abroad, and this II
was doing with might and main.
