Administration. Mr.. Wallis, who re-
turned here several days ago from a
hve months survey of the feeding op-
eratlons in Central Europe, departed
last night for Washington to report to
Secretary Hoover.
IN sending aid to Russia" said Mr..
Wallis yesterday, "the American people
need have no fear that they will be
making Bolshevism strong to renew it's
efforts at world revolution Bolshevism
mas lost its case, especially among the
nelghbors of Russia. The time in which
1t might extend itself has gone forever.
In Russia there has been a decided
tendency toward the modification of
Bolshevism into a rational system. 1t
IS that modification for which we must
hope All informed observers agree
that the overthrow of the Bolshcvik
government would mean chaos and an
archy in Russia. There is no political
organization whatsoever ready to take
the place of the present government
Il believe the work which the Amer
lean relief administration will do in
Russia will not only save lives, but will
tend to bring stability and progress
along rational lines. 1t is not too much
to hope that it will be an effective and
benevolent means of bringing Russia
into the family of nations once more"

Powers Officially
Asked to Set Date
For Arms Parlev
Word Conveyed via D;plo-
matte Channels That Pres
ident Harding Favors an
Armisiice Day AssembIage
From Tho Tri6unes Washington Bureau

From Tho Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Armistice
Day, November II, has been officially
proposed to the powers as the date
most satisfactory to the United States
for the convening of the joint dis
armament and Far Eastern conference,
it was learned at the State Depart
ment to-day. The proposal has been
put forward informally through dip
lomatic channels, and thus far no re
sponse has been received. Suggestions
are invited, it is understood, if the
powers should find the date unsatis-
factory.
Soon after President Harding's plan
for the Washington conference it was
intimated at the White House that
November II would be very satisfac-
tory as the date for the conference
1t was pointed out that this date would
afford ample time for the various
powers to arrange details, such as dis
cussion of the agenda, the selection
of delegates and the organization Of
corps Of experts and technical advisers.
Even when Great Britain was suggest
ing that on account of the necessity of
the dominion premiers returning home
before the conference it might be we'll
to postpone the gathering until spring,
the Administration stuck to Novem-
Der H.
If real obstacles are thrown in the
way of an agreement on November II,
the Administration would be willing
TO accept some other date, preferably
in September or October The value
of Armistice Day, it was explained, is
largely sentimental, and both President
Harding and Secretary Hughes are
perfectly willing to sacrifice sentimen-
tality to practicality
Should all the invited powers indi-
cate willingness to set November II
as the date the formal invitation
probably will be issued almost i'm
mediately answers are received. Until
some date is agreed upon formal in
vitation will be held in allegiance
Under Secretary of State Fletcher

missioner Dawes on the subject of

ference. No announcement has vet
been made as to the probable amount

Willard Assails Navy
In Hayi; Case Inquiry

Fro'" The Tr1b',ne's " ashington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.--Sensational
charges, rejecting on the American
navy in connection with American oc-
cupation of Hayti and Santo Domingo.
were outlined to-day before the spe-
clal Senate committee which has been
directed to investigate the facts. The
committee is headed by Senator Medll
Mccormick, Of Illinois
oswald Garrison Willard, Of New
York, and Horace Knowles, formerly
Minister to Santo Domingo, presented
some of the high lights of the charges
which they are prepared to amplify
They alleged that what had occurred
was blot on the record of the navy.
Mr.. Willard declared that until the
United States went into Hayti there
was no trouble there. He asserted
many crimes and inexcusable mur-
ders' had resulted from American in
tervention.
Both Mr.. Willard and Mr. Knowles
insisted that American conduct in
Hayti and Santo Domingo had hurt
this country's relations with all Latin
America. MIR. Willard asserted the
Dominjcans were fearful of American
vengeance and unless guaranteed pro-
lection would not venture to testify be-
fore the committee.
These statements were preliminary
and informal. The committee viii
meet Friday to hear their testimony
IN detail. Representatives of the NAVY
Department also will be invited to
present their side. 1t is the pur-
pose of the special committee to take
considerable testimony here, and later
on to go to Hayti and Santo Domingo
and examine into the facts at close
range.

of tires from the leading tire manu-
facturers of the country and pay cash
for the order. After establishing a
credit they would order bill Of goods

price far below the factory price. In
they obtained about $4,000 worth of
tires which were sold at a price below
the cost, and the companies supply

Great Britain Proclaims Her

Greece that an advance on CONSTANT

gagged in war with the Turkish Ma
tionalists, viii not be tolerated, it was
authoritatively stated here to-day. No
ground exists, however, it is added, for
believing that Greece contemplates any

Reports from Athens that Great
Britain favors a Greek advance on
Constantinople were characterized as
absurd-the exact reverse of the truth.
Great Britain, it is declared, is main

key and Greece.

Monroe Doctrine
Cited for Japanese
Expansion i'm Asia
Leading Nipponese Declare
There Is No Race Issue
and Urge Both Nations
Put All Cards on Table

TOXIC, Aug 3 BY The Associated
Press).-A series of articles depicting
how Japanese view the United States
is now appearing in leading Japanese
magazines. The articles are written
by several widely known Japanese pub
lie men, among them being Professor
Sazuko 1oshino, of Toxic Imperial Uni
versty; DR.. Kiroku Hayashi, Coun-
sellor of the Foreign Office, and Dr..
iujiro Miyake editor-in- chief of the
Nihon Oyobi Nihonjin.
The articles all point out the tre-
mendous differences between the
United States and Japan as regards
area and natural wealth.. and how,
while the country with the larger ex-
tent of territory and richer national
resources has comparatively few peo-
pie to support, the other, overcrowded
and lacking indispensable natural
needs, is daily faced with the
problem of seeking expansion Japa-
nese fail to understand, says the writ
ers, why America should grudge
Japan's efforts to expand on the con-
tlnent of Asia in view Of the fact that
the United States established a Monroe
Doctrine to ward off European en-
croachment on the New World.
There are two misconceptions in
Japan as regards the attitude of the
United States Wis Wis the world"
writes Dr.. Yoshino. zone. of these is
the belief that the United States is
determined to carry out her wishes in
spite of others. and the other is that
America is country which stands for
the justice and righteousness of Wash
ington and Lincoln.
Those who see the United States
through her latest economic activity
generally fall into the error of having
a, superficial view of that country.
they believe that the United States
is hostile to Japan, and take it for
granted that the next country Japan
must fight is the United States. Neither
OF these sets Of views is correct"
Dr. Ioshino terms the anti-Japanesc
agitation in the United States "pass-
ing phenomenon which arises from a
certain special cause and has not taken
away from America the proud title Of
a land free and equal to all"
The anti-Japancse agitation arises
from fear that cherished ideals NAV
not be realized, and to call the acjta-
tlon racial question is mistake"
he said.
The editor of the Nihon Ovobi
Nlhonjin thinks it is time that Japan
and the United States should openly
state what there is that the two coun-
tries do not like, and then seek to
rectify any mistakes. He suggests that
there be invited to this country those
Americans who think they have
grievance against Japan, and that their
views be heard. Similarly, Japanese
can go to the United States and there
declare clearly what it is that Japan
desires and fears. This will result,
says the editor, in clarifying the atmos-
phere.

". L C.. Harding, g,
Near I list Fight
With Williams
Continued from page cne)

Reserve board during 1920 and 1921,
protesting their policy and course, Gov
ernor Harding demanded and received
permission to yead single letter of
response which the boalf made to Mr..
Williams in 1921.
"The Federal Reserve Board feels
constrained to say" the letter said,
that your action has demon
strated the futility of discussions with
YOU on questions of honor and fair
play"
Mr.. Williamss criticism Of the
boards handling of credit problems,
as contained in the correspondence and
repeated to the Congressional com mis-
sion were characterized in Governor
Hardings letter as ignorant, inaccu-
rate and misleading.'
The reading of the letter resulted in
a remark from Mr.. Williams about
poison gas and rctorts in which Gov
ernor Harding asserted his own desire
during all the preceding contro-
versy within the board to settle mat
ters peacably, but to fight if neces-
sary.
Governor Strong read extracts from
an official confidential report made to
the board by him on the New York
banking system 1t referred to Mr.
Williams's semi official reports as Gig
norant and misleading" and accused
him of "violations of propriety and
disloyalty to his associates"
One New York bank. which Mr.. Viii
liams said held $13000O, 600 in Federal
reserve loans. Governo~ strong de-
clarcd held also $4,000, 900 in gov
eminent securities, adding that most
of its loans were made to carry pun
chases during the war While it was
lending $4,000 directly or indi-
rectly to its own officers, Governor
Strong said, it held Sl5,0O0,00O in Lib
erty bonds as collateral, and additional
securities as well
Mr.. Williams charged that 80 per
cent interest rates in New York money
markets meant the starving Of farm
ing districts.
"Had the Comptroller understood
the workings Of the reserve SYSTEM
Governor Strong responded, 'he would
have understood those rates resulted
from the constant withdrawal of funds
from New York to other sections Of the
country"
Much of the credit pressure re-
suited from organized movements in
various parts Of the country" Mr.
Strong continued, "to withhold COM
modties from their usual markets"
general denial is hardly an eff
fectual answer to specific charges and
complaints,' Mr. Williams said when
his turn came again. and later he eX-
pressed the opinion that the New York
bank, dealing with reserve funds,
passed money out with prodigality"
during periods when borrowers else
where were being restricted He con-
cluded his two-day discussion with OBJ
servatlons that there never had been
the currency imitation in this country
some people believcd,' that there was
present Improvement from the lowe
ing of interest rates. and that
farmers are entitled to get through

produce. though dealers and profteers
should be restricted" "

Eighteen Of those holes did not di-
gest much of anything, however, for
they were played over the short putting

by Secretary Weeks. Before play be
gan this morning the Secretary of
War, with his suspenders exposed to
the critical gaze of his chief, showed

less than Joseph S. Frelnghuysen, the
senior Senator from the State of New

Red Gross Cleared in
Cronstadt Case in Marcel,

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. - Vigorous
denia, of charges by Senator Joseph
]. France that Red Cross agents had
fomented the Cronstadt revolution was
made at American Red Cross head
quarters here to-day Not only is it
untrue that Colonel Edward W Ryan
head of the American Red Cross in
the Baltic states, had any connection
with the Cronstadt revolt, Red Cross
officials asserted, but he and other
members of his organization even de-
clined to furnish food and clothing to
the mutineers.
When the Cronstadt revolution broke
out carly in 1921. Boris Bakhmeteff.
Ambassador of the former Russian
regime, who is still here, appealed TO
the American Red Cross to supply food
and clothing to the revolutionists. This
request was refused.
On March 20, 1921, Soviet authorities
launched campaign against the
American Red Cross in ths form Of
wireless message addressed to all the
central committees of the Red Cross
This message was picked up by Amer
lean diplomatic representatives and
forwarded to the State DEPARTING ent
which turned it over to Red Cross
headquarters here. The message read:
"According TO particulars received
national committee is examining tho
question of afordng relief in products
and clothing TO the mutineers at
Cronstadt. and Colonel Ryan, delegate
Of the American Red Cross, has al
ready taken steps in this direction.
"Thc Russian Red Cross has always
observed the principle of the most com
plete political neutrality and It con-
siders it it's duty TO condemn repre-
sentativcs OF the Red Cross who are
violating this principle
Now that the victorious red army
has taken az prisoners individuals fur
nished with mandates from the Ameri-
can Red Cross who filled purely mill
tary functions in the red guards camp,
the Russian Red Cross considers itsels
faced by fresh case of abuse Of func-
tions, for which the local representa-
tives Of the American Red Cross are re-
sponsole'
Red Cross headquarters in Paris
were cabled as follows:
Press dispatches announce Cron-
ssadt revolutionists supplied with food
by American Red Cross. Advise facts
fully"
The reply Was received:
