Japan to Insist German

Viscount Uchida Announces

TOXIC. Feb. 3 (By The Associated

insisted from the beginning that Japan
is entitled to German rights and inter.
ests in the island of Yap, and this
roliry will be followed said Viscount
Uchida, the Foreign Minister, in the
Diet yesterday, in answer to an inquiry
by Repr asentative' Kotaro Mochizuki
concerning the outcome of the negotia-
tions between japan and the United
States regarding the disposition of the
Yap cable, and also the nature of ia
pans policy in the premises.
At Versailles, the Foreign Minister
said, it was decided to postpone con-
sideration of the Yap question to an

Washington devoted a nslderable
time to the question, he added, but no
definite agreement was reached

Publication of Session
Laws May Be Banned
Assembly Committee to Conduct
Hearing on the Belts Meas
ure ON February %
From a Stat Correspondent


ALBANY, Feb. s. The question
whether the state is to continue the
expensive policy of publication of ses-
sion laws and concurrent resolutions is
to be discussed before the Assembly
committee on public printing on Feb
ruary %, when hearing is to be held
on the Belts bill. This would repeal
the law requiring this publication,
which last year cost the state $780,
900. The introducer of the proposal is
himself a country editor.
The measure calls only for the dis
continuation of the printing of the
session laws. Mr.. Belts now is looking
into the question of what course should
be taken with concurrent resolutions.
he believes that no real need exists
for she publication of the session laws,
but is inclined to- believe that there
should be some means of presenting
the contents of concurrent resolutions
to those who are to vote on the propo-
sitions they present.
AS far as the session laws are con-
cerned there seems to be little doubt
continued. Governor Miller, in his
annual message, emphatically declared
the publication of the laws passed each
year to be an unnecessary expense and
the legislative leaders seem to concur
in this view. There is no real opposi-
tion to the repeal of this act. Those
most interested, editors of country
papers, who get large share of the
income from this form of state print
ing, agree that the present system is
extravagant. They would, however,
have the law continued, but in modi-
fed form which would be less expen-
sive to the state.

DIR. Schols Asserts, Ho,oeper,
That Paris Proposals Car.

BERLIN, Feb. (By The Associated
Press) Germany does not. of course,
withdraw from further negotiations,
but she must decline to accept the pres
cnt Paris proposals as constituting a
basis, or even starting point, for re-
newed deliberations" DR.. Ernst Scholz,
Minister of Economics, informed the
correspondent to-day. Germany, he
added, would not affix her signature to
pact that could not be fulfilled, and
declared that the Versailles Treaty
prescribed an entirely different pro-
cedure for arriving at the amount of
indemnity Germany was to pay than
that adopted by the Supreme Council
at Paris
DR.. Scholz, who represents the Ger
man Peoples party in the present
coalition government and is a munich
pal official, designated the export tax
provided for in the proposals as tan
tamount to "killing the goose that is
to lay the golden eggs" because it
would not only stifie Germany's export
industry, but primarily would deprive
Ter from earning credits and moneys
from exports to neutral countries and
tie United States, where she in turn
ia compelled to pay for the raw prod
ucts and foodstuffs indispensable to

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Althoueh
debate on the Fordney emergency tariF
bill dragged aimlessly on the Senate
foor to-day, real progress was made
toward definite action on the measure.
Senator McCumber, Republican. OF
North Dakota, obtained agreement TO
take up the bill with its amendments
Tor second reading and, outside Of
the chamber, leaders of both sides
reached tentative understanding 20
TX date for a final vote.
The tentative program probably will
be submitted to the Senate tomorrow
and unanimous consent asked for an
agreement TO vote on the bill February
10, or soon after. Senators tonight
believed the path was clear for accept
ance of the plan.
Suggestions and counter uggestions
from each side came frequently during
the day. All were based on political
maneuvering and the leaders conferred
about them in and out of the chamber.
while Senators Capper, Republican, Of
Florida; Mcclellan, Democrat, of Ten
nessee, and Robinson, Democrat, OF
Arkansas, occupied the attention of the
few Senators present with speeches.
Mr.. Mcclellan challenged supporters
of the bill to snow how it would aid
the farmers, asserting that little Of
their products remained on tn. farm
He declared that the proposed tariff
on sugar would mean only that Con
gress was "legislating money into the
ockets of the sugar trust" and esti-
n ated that on three necessaries, meats.
-four and sugar, the country would be
taxed between $1,500, 900. 600 and $2,-
GOO 100000" in the ten months the law
would be effective.
New York City alone, the Senator
said, would pay an additional 500 ,0UO,-
600 if the bill were passed, and Penn
sylvania's tribute to the farmers"
would aggregate S118,00n,0O0. Mr.. Nc
kellar figured the law would cost his
own state about $40,000,00O. He quoted
from speech of Senator Capper a
year ago in which the trusts were bit
terly assailed, and added:
Senators have admitted here that
this bill is going to help the specula-
tors and the protteers more than any
body else"
The Senate will meet an hour earlier
tomorrow, recessing tonight until II
O'Clock. Mr.. McCnmber and Minor
lty Leader Underwood explained
that although the Fordney bill was
| technically before the Senate, they
could not keep Senator'S from talking
on any other subject, and while they
believed debate hencefQrth probably
would be confined to tlat bill, the pos
sihility of time being occupied on ex-
traneous matters always must be con.
sidered.

Hoover Opens School Drive
$4,000 Expected To Be Raised
for Starving Children


Herbert Hoover, speaking in the as
sembly hall of the High School of Com
merce, yesterday opened the campa gn
in the New York public schools for
contributions to the $4,000, 600 fund
for the starving children Of Europe
The entire school system of the city is
organized for the drive, which, it is be-
lieved, will yield $4,000.
"If we save the lives of these $780,
600 boys and girls" said Mr.. Hoover,
I'VE are creating SO many ambassadors,
and we are building up real protec-
tion against war for this and the COM
ing generation"
Mr.. Hoover was introduced by Will
liam L. Ettinger, Superintendent of
Schools. Members of the City Board
cf Manhattan and the Board of Super
intendents were on the platform.

ing the "stand-pat" viewpoint.
They are hopeful about the Depart
ment of Labor, for which James J..
Davis and Representative Nolan, of
California, are both being mentioned.
The information here to-day is that
both are still under consideration and
that no choice has been made. Either
is satisfactory to the Propressives,
though judging from the conversations
on Capitol Hill the radicals here would
prefer Nolan to/Davis.
The definite statement that A. T.
Hert, of Kentucky, had not been elimi-

by. several Senators after their talks
with Fall and Daugherty, and this
seemed to be real surprise, for, with

The statement that Hoover had not

is not to get some one into the Cabinet,
but to have a Cabinet named which

Suggestions Still Welcome
While specifically stating that he
had not discussed the question with
Mr.. Harding on the recent trip to
Florida, Senator Fall made it clear that

with great interest in view of the fact
that Mr.. Fall personally wanted ex-

Colonel Charles B. Warren, of Michi
gan--one of the powerful group which
dominated the Chicago convention
going into the Cabinet. 1t was said,
however, that the South might be rec
ognized by Cassius H. Huston, of Chat
tanooga, Tenn.
Another clear impression of Senators
after their talks with Daugherty and
Fall was that the Cabinet slate would
not be announced officially, nor prob
ably even finally completed, until the
last possible moment before his inaugu-
ration. The belief here is that Mr..
Harding is still open to suggestions
and advice and that he will ret great
deal of both before irrevocably commit

Local Option ON Daylight

Both Sides of Controversy Said
TO lndorse Measure To Be

ALBANY, Feb. 5.-Local option or
daylight saving Will be permissible IN
der a bill to be brought before the
Legislature next week 1t is under
stood this measure will have the in
dorsement of the two sides at odds
over this issue and that it is slated
for passage.
The srrong arguments presented at
yesterdays hearing on the daylight
saving repeal measure by those who
want this law continued have con
vinced legislative leaders that it would
be unfair to city workers to repeal the
law entirely, while they are also cogni-
zant of the fact that the continuance
OF the law on a statewide basis would
work to the disadvantage of the agri-
cultural interests.
The way out of the difficulty is Of
fered, it is explained, by the enact
ment of bill which would repeal the
present compulsory daylight saving
statute and replace it with one which
would permit the cities to adopt day
light saving ordinance where there is
demand for such legislation. Suclt
ordinances were adopted in New York.

strengthening of the ties that bound
the Allies together as the result Of the
Paris gathering.
M. Tardieu in his statement said the
decisions of the Allied conference in
Paris were totally embodied in the
Versailles Treaty. His whole argument
was that none of the decisions taken by
the Paris conference had not already
been provided for in the treaty. The
conference, he contended, was useless.
All that might have been done was to
hold the Germans strictly to the YER
sailles Treaty.
Governing Clauses Specified
Article 240 of the Versailles Treaty
settled Germany's financial obligations,
Article H38 provided for the manner in
which the indemnity must be paid and
tor turning the matter over to the repa-
ration commission, said M. Tardieu.
With reference to disarmament no de-
iberations were needed except integral
enforcement of the treaty. With respect
to penalties, Article 270 provided for
the seizure of the German customs.
Thus, the Paris conference discov-
cred nothing" declared the former
emphasis on his belief that the confer
ence should have been postponed until
the United States government had been
given an opportunity to express it's
views on all questions.

ceived with businesslike silence. In
fact, it could not be recalled that the
French Chamber had ever been so
quiet under 1imilar circumstances.

cote and the Communist leader, M.
Cachin, presented their arguments
much as might the board of directors
of financial organization discus sing

Fat Senators May

Fail to Prove 1t
lhin-Edged Arguments of
Foes Even Matters and
National Press Club De
bate Is Called a Draw

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Members of
the Cabinet numerous members of the
diplomatic corps and high officials of
the army and navy assembled tonight
as guests of the National Press Club to
hear an edifying Congressional debate
on the momentous question: "Resoived,
That it is more noble to be fat than
lean"
Supporting the negative side of the
proposition, with all the eloquence that
has earned them recognition in the Sen
ate, were Senators Ashurst, of Arizona,
and Harrison, Of Mississippi, both Dem
ocrats, while pitted against them was
formidable team of Republican men,
bers of the House, Representatives
-Tincher, of Kansas, and Winslow, of
Massachusetts.
Among those in the audience who
gave every indication of reaping profit
as we'll as enjoyment from the erudite
discussion, which took place in a local
theater, were the French, Japanese and
Belgian ambassadors, Lady Geddes
wife of the British Ambassador; the
Secretary of State and Mrs. Colby and
General Pershing.
Debate Adjudged Draw
The audience constituted the jury,
and so impressively did Speaker Gillett
of the House, who presided, caution the
jurors to attain mental state of
complete impartiality" in deciding the
"momentous issue" that the debate was
adjudged draw.
Opening for the affirmative, Repre-
sentative Tincher waded into the sub
ject without gloves. After denying
any noble" attribute to the lean man,
Mr.. Tincher declared he could prove
by the actuary of any insurance de-
partment in the world that the fat
men are closer to heaven than the lean
men"
In rebuttal, Senator Harrison de-
clared he was prepared to enter the
combat "even if we have pitted against
US two old, fat, reactionary Repub-
licans, who, as | look at them, remind
me of the cartoons l used to see with
the dollar marks on the trust mag
mates"
What the Lean Men Did
Shouldering the other half Of the
affirmative, Mr.. Winslow then expati-
ated on the embarrassment of discuss
ing the issue in the presence of a
mixed audience"
Winding up the debate with burst
OF eloquence, Senator Ashurst held
forth thusly:
Call the roll of mighty men en-
riching the annals of human destiny
and we find that those who have blessed
mankind the most have been thin"
Prior to the debate the assembled
guests had been prepared for the friv-
olities by recitation by Secretary of
State Colby of Gray's "Elegy in a Coun-
try Churchyard."

From The Tribunc's Washington BureoS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. Senator
France, Of Maryland, Republican, has
prepared resolution which he will
offer in the Senate, proposing that the
United States use its good Offices in
behalf of Germany to obtain a reduc-
tion of the indemnity lately fixed by
the Allies. Senator France in recent
speeches has strongly urged resump-
tion of trade with Russia.
In connection with his plan Senator
France will urge that the German in
demnity be fixed at $15,000,0 900, plus
interest, and that it be liquidated in
part by the sale to the United States of
the German African colonies and the
German cables which were seized by the
Allies. .-..
Senator France declared Germany

Germans to Prosecute
Four for War Grimes
Investigation of First Eleven
Cases on the List Completed;
Trials to Begin i'm March

BERLIN, Feb. 3.-Dispatches from
Leipzig say the preliminary investiga-
ton of the first eleven cases on the
Entente's list of war criminals has been
concluded, and that it has been decided
TO prosecute four persons. The trials
probably will begin in March.
The Treaty of Versailles provided for
the surrender to the Allies and the trial
before military tribunals of persons ac-
cused of having violated the laws and
customs of war. Subsequently, the
Allies agreed to permit the German
Supreme Court at Leipzig to try the
criminals which the Allies should name
The initial list of persons for trial sub
mitted to Germany contained 1900
names, but this was subsequently cut
to 800. Among those on it are the ex-
Crown Princes William of Prussia and
Rupprecht of Bavaria.
The Leipzig court on January 10 SEN
fenced the first three men to be con-
victed of war crimes. These were three
engineers who had looted Belgian inn.
Their names were not on the Allied list.
