Conference on Pacific Problems
May Occur There.

iy the Associated Press.
LONDON. July 19.-The Daily Mail
inns morning gives prominence to the
statement that conference on Pacific
questions may possibly take place in
London in the autumn.
TOXIC. July 1S.-The Asahi today,
in special editorial concerning the
proposed Washington conference.
predicts that Japan, after the receipt
Of the Washington governments re-
ply to Japan's request for defining
or the scope of the far eastern ques-
tions, will expound her views to the
following effect:
conference considers questions like
zap and Shantung. The conference
VIII partake of the nature of the
Versa lilies conference IN that it will
again discuss matters already de-
cided at Versailles
Second-Both Yap and Shantung
are special problems. affecting the
countries concerned, and they should
be regarded as questions limited to
the particular states interested. If
questions of such nature are sub
mltted, the conference is liable in
the opinion Of the japanese. to bring
about an undeSira BILE result by un-
necessarily stimulating the mind of
the public in the countries concerned,
give rise to prejudice and suspicion
between nations and offer oppor-
tunity for all kinds of intrigue and
other unjust practices calculated to
estrange nations.
Fear Bad Effect.
In such a case" the newspaper con
tinues. although the Pacific confer
ehce was promoted for the purpose of
acccleratlng the realization of perma
nent peace. II not only would result In
IaIure. put would produce a bad ef-
iect 10 the cause of the preservation
OF world peace. In short. the desire
OF the Japanese government is To
iocallze and minimize the nature and
scope or the subjects to be discussed
pelleVlng this will best serve the
| cause OF international amity"
Ihe Asahi expresses the opinion that
1 the insistence Of some Americans for
the inclusion of the questions of Var
ana Shantung in the conference is due
TO a preJudiced notion that japan is
nation OF militaristic and aggressive
designs.
Emigration May Come Up.
III such practical and concrete
problems are Incorporated in the pro.
gram. the newspaper continues Jap.
ahese emigration may have to be pre-
; sented. and this would be certain tc
cause serious complications"
The Asahi forecasts that an under.
standing will be reached if ths
United States will withhold such oues.

MYSTERY SHIP
IN TIDAL BASIN

A strange craft cruised in tho
waters of the bathing beach in the
Tidal basin today and caused some
commotion until its friendly mission
was disclosed. 1t Is a motor launch
and was obtained from the Navy De-
partment by Col. Sheriff.. in charge
of public buildings and grounds. for
the special purpose of assisting in
purifying the water where the people
bathe and minimizing dangers OF con-
tamination.
proved chlorinating apparatus and
will operate at all points OF possible
contamination in the basin area.
New Sanitary Idea.
Heretofore a stationary chlorinat-
ing apparatus has been in use at the
bridge. where the water enters the
tidal basin from the river, but the
purificating results at the bathing
beach were not entirely satisfactory.
Col Sheriff.. therefore. evolved the
| idea of installing the apparatus on a
! boat and using it for the publication
of the water actually in use by the
batherS.
1t involves an entirely new princi-
| Pile in chlorination. and is expected
to obtain positive results in freeing
| the bathing beach from all contami-
nation.
| Water Purified Twice Daily.
| Experienced men are in charge of
| the launch and are instructed to op-
crate at the bahinG beach twice a day.
The water will be dosed with chlorine
| early in the morning before the beach
| is opened for use and again between
II and l o'clock. when ii will be
| closed to bathers.
| During the bathing hours the
launch will circulate in the area
nearby. but entirely outside of the
| bathing area.

PEACE RUPTURE DENIED.
Craig and Associates May Return
to London Next Week.

BELFAST. ireland. July 19.-The
return to Belfast of Sir James Craig,
the Ulster premier and the members
Of his cabinet. who have been with
him in London in connection with
the Irish peace move. must not be
taken as a rupture OF the negotfa-
tions. it was declared today by Col.
Spender. secretary Of the delegation.
on it's arrival here. 1t is thought.
indeed. that the delegation will be
recalled to London next week.
None of the cabinet members
would have anything to say for pub
lication.
Say De Valera Must Weaken.
Eamonn de Valera is regarded by
the Ulster unionists as a visionary,
and the feeling in unionist circles
here is that no discussion among all
the parties concerned in the Irish
settlement will be possible until he
considerably modifles his position.
When Sir James Craig saw the re-
publican leader in Dublin before the
recent Irish parliamentary elections
the Ulster premier is declared in
unionist quarters to have heard a long
disquisition on an Irish republic, and
the unionists here expressed belief to-
day that Mr.. de Valera had expressed
himself similarly in his interviews
with Premier Lloyd George.
The attitude of the Ulster premier

alarming fashion.
We want peace" they say. The
Ulster terms upon which they are
prepared to negotiate start with the
recognition by the south of Ireland
of the province of Ulster with its par
lament as now existing. Ulster. on
its side. will recognize the federal
Irish parliament as the central au-
thority for the whole of Ireland.
The federal parliament must con-
tain number of Ulster members dis
proportionate to the population. one

lament should have fiscal rights for
the whole of Ireland. under certain
restriction. These are mainly two:
Mutual free trade should be estab-
lished permanently between Great
Britain and Ireland and the Ulster
industries should be guaranteed
against exceptional burdens.
The northern and southern parlia-
ments should have the right if each
desires to do so. to make money
grants to support an established
church. Protestant and Catholic, re-
Spectively. but such grants should not
be made by the federal parliament
Ulster would regard with profound

federal parliament the right to raise
