csplc Understand
...g in Pacific, But Not
To Naval Ratio.
Await Official Word

Toxic, Dec. S.-Thc semi-olicial
Teikoku news agency reports that the
Japanese government has notified its
delegates at Washington of its APP
proval OF the proposed quadruple en-
tentc in principle, but not as sub
stitutc for the Anglo-Japanese al
lance, which it says cannot be
abrogatcd until an agreement is
reached on a reduction i'll naval
armament and there is a realization
of Elihu Roots principles concerning
China.
The government declared, the news
agency adds, that it must reserve ap-
proval of the quadruple entente on
account of the different views regard
ing the significance OF the entente and
the Anglo japanese alliance.
Proposal Accepted.
Washington, Dec. 8.-(By A. P)-
The Japanese government has ac.
cepted the proposal for quadruplt
understanding in the Pacific, al
authorized British spokesman said to-
day.
The British spokesman said thu
5-5-5 ratio proposition. with regart
to capital ships was in some way
related to complete settlement ant
that this proposition had not ye
been accepted by the japanese
government.
Calling attention to all Associated
Press dispatch from Honolulu quot
ing Japanese newspaper as to &C
ceptance by the Toxic government o
the quadruple plan, the British
spokesman said this was correct anc
that the Washington conference
knew it to be correct.
The conference committee of IA
eastern affairs, the British spokes
man explained, was now waiting fc,
the official Specification by the Jap
anesc government that it had ap
proved the whole Of the scheme, i'll
volving all agreement OIL the naya
ratio.
Agreement Near.
The agreement i'll regard to zap
it was said, had no special refer
cncc to the matter under considera
ton by the conference. Such al
agreement, however, was growing
nearer to satisfactory conclusion
it was added.
There appeared to be tendency
TO mix up two or three diffcrcH
phases of the agreements, said tn,
spokesman. Outlining them, ht
said, first there was the origina
Zap agreement; second, there wa
the proposed cooling off" agree
ment, and third, there was simila
arrangement in regard to the main
tenance of the status quo with refer
ence to naval bases and fortifca
tons.
l. Explaining the application Of th
tour-poWer agreement to matter,
outside of China, the spokesman
asserted that it might concern tn.
Anglo Japanese alliance as thi.
treaty applied to differences arising
in the Pacific and, of course, i
might cover the important ques
tons of naval ratio, maintenance O
naval bases and Notifications.

Ireland Is Weyld's Chief Linen.
Producing Center

The antiquity OF linen Is greater
than that of any other textile It's Use
dates back at least to The Pharachs.
In Ireland. the hand-spinning and
hand.weaving of linen were carried on
IN cottage and castle for centuries be.
fore the introduction of the power
loom raised an occupation of the home
to the position of great staple indus
try. So far back as the Fifteenth cen
fury linen was mentioned as one Of
the principal branches OF trade in the
country and linen was exported from
Belfast from the earliest days of the
port, Through many phases OF HIS
tory the industry was fostered, but il
was not until after the discontinuance
OF the linen board in 1880 that any at
tempt was made to introduce ma
chinery. BY 1879 between 5000 and
1000 power looms were AT work. Then
came the American Civil war aud
with Lancashire unable TO get cotton
an enormous demand for linen was
created In 1870 close TO $4,000 power
looms were weaving linens and the
industry was firmly established. In
1919 tic number of looms had In
creased to a6.942 and the number OF
FAX spindlcs IN Ireland was 924,sl7.
Today Ireland is the chief linen
producing center Of til world This
uosiiion Is insured partly by the eli
mate OF the northeast province, which
is ideal for the manufacture Of linen.
but al equally important factor is the
hereditary skill OF the linen workers
throughout Ulster In the days Of
Charles premiums were offered 10
induce skilled workers from France
and the Netherlands to settle in ire
iana and irish workers were sent to
the continent to acquire knowledge Of
the hest methods of manufacture,
Families brought from Brahant from
France and Jersey settled, it Is said,
IN Can'ick IN Belfast Tough and their
skill has been handed down through
generation utter generation.
