II Japan does not take herself out
of the so-called protection clause" OF
the Four Power Pacific Treaty. the

In making this declaration today
Senator McNary, republican. OF Ore

self does not insist upon such reser-
walton.
1.-THE question of whether the treaty
applies to the Japanese homeland, or
to the Japanese possessions in the
Pacific Ocean is an all.important one"
Senator McNary said. 1T Is cru
cial one--it goes to the heart Of the
armament conference.
II do not believe that the United
States can afford to enter into any
agreement that would pledge the
American people to use their re-
sources in man and money power to
aid japan to preserve her political
and territorial integrity.
Will Offer Resolution.
IT shall. therefore. be glad to offer
a reservation to the treaty, in case
Japan doesn't, which shall stipulate
that. so far as the United States is con-
cerned, the treaty does not even imply
a guarantee of japan proper from ex-
ternal aggression.
Just suppose that a rehabilitated
Russia and a rehabilitated Germany
should unite, and with the advice and
consent Of a rehabilitated China,
should pour military and naval forces
into the Pacific? Surely we must
serve notice before the treaty is rati-

BY POLITICUS.

According to the representatives
of the Chita government, Japan has
demanded that the Far Eastern
republic destroy its Notifications
in Vladivostok and the other
Siberian seaports, that 1t grant
Japanese subjects all the rights Of
Russian citizens and that it permit
the maintenance of Japanese
army in Siberia.
If these dispatches are true, the
Japanese demands constitute a
direct insult to the arms conference
and to the other nations who are
represented in Washington. Such
demands, directed against hte help
less Far Eastern republic, constitutes
a menace to every attempt to lay
the foundations for peace in the
Orient. They strip naked the whole
fraudulent scheme to inveigle the
United States into a quadruple al
lance to maintain Japanese and
British Imperialism on the eastern
shores of the Pacific.
Hypocrisy Scented.
II these demands represent the
true attitude Of the Japanese gov
eminent toward Russia, there is
nothing more for the arms confer
ence to do but to adjourn. No
sanctimonious resolutions ii may
pass for the integrity of China or
Russia can cloak the lust of their
despoilers, no holy pledge Of peace
can be other than a hypocritical
synonym of war.
The world has had enough Of
such lies Is this what the pious
Mr.. Hughes meant when he said
that the conference would establish
a moral trusteeship" over Russia?
Is this what he had in mind when
he used the name of the United
States to bring to Washington the
