NORTHCLFFE SEES
ARMSCONFERENCE
LASTINGLONG Time
Expects 1t May Move to
Several Places Before
Conclusion.
By ROBERT J. BENDER.

TORONTO. July 3l.-Viscount
Northclifre believes that the Wash;
ington disarmament conference will
transcend in Importance the his
toric Paris peace conclave. and after
visits with President Harding and
Secretary Hughes, he believe the
political jockeying for position will
be vastly more interesting than was
the jockeying before and during the
Paris meeting.
The Washington conference, he
believes. will be a long one and may
move to several different places be-
fore it finally nds.
Northcliffe terminated his twenty
first visit TO the United States when
he crossed the Canadian line carl,
Sunday and while this last visit has
been by all odds the most dramatic
OF all, he purposed to forget its de-
tails with his entrance TO Canada
-Ne Incident.s
At Hamilton, Canadian newspaper
men began boarding his train seek
ing interviews on the Washington
incident"
so far as / am concerned, there
has been no incident" the British
publisher replied. "and rather
think the whole thing will be for
gotten everywhere by Monday.
Il am in Canada to study immi-
grafton problems. Are any of the
newspaper men present beides my
self interested In that subtect?"
Lord Northcliffe was met at the
station by Lea Mccarthy. K. c., one
of the city's prominent lawyers, and
spent the day with Mccarthy on the
golf links, leaving for Vancouver at
10 p. m.
The Northcliffe party anticipates
no recurrence OF the boycott" that
created such a senption in the
American Capital, during the re-
mainder of the publishers travels
through British possessions. 1t was
explained that orders of the Brit
ish foreign office are not effective
rs apnlied- to the respective local
governments in British territory.
Furthermore. Wickham Stesd,
rditor of the London Times, stressed
liic punt luaI NOTInCllHe y tour Is
purely personal. and in no sense an
official tourney. Hence. the govern
ment officials in countries to be
visited would be expected to act
toward Northcliffe exactly as they
would act toward any other British.

Asked what were the most strik-
ing impressions gained by observ-
Ing American life. members of the
party gave different versions.
Northcliffe himself said his most
vivid impression was the amount
of conversation one hears every
where he goes on the subject OF
prohibition"
The most remarkable thing to
Wtckham Steed was "the city OF
Washington. which, ] believe, is
the only city in the world whose
whole industry is politics."
To Secretary Snoad. the wonder
was 'the number Of automobiles.

VLADIVOSTOK, July 31.-"Japa-

Maj. Gen. Isomura, chief of staff

the Japanese army occupying ST.

will certainly be great disorder In
Vladivostok and also throughout
the maritime province.

nounced last March the troops will
leave the country as soon as the

sions is stabilized. the unrest in
tho territories adjacent to Corez
allayed. the lives and property cf
Japanese residents secured ard
communications restored. Not only
must we have assurance from Chita
to this effect but we must see real
progress along these lines before
our troops will leave"
Despite this careful statement
there are many outward signs that
Japan has no intention whatever OF
evacuating until it has gained con-
cessions worth millions. While dis
satisfied with the MerkuIoff gov
ernment. which refuses to deal with
Japan, the Japanese are balancing
for two definite advantages.
If Semenofr could sign an agree
ment with Japan as Kolchak's sue
cessor, it would seat him, receiv-
ing in return concessions affecting
Amur and Saghain. But If the Chita
backed by Moscow,
were to sign an agreement, the
Japanese believe they could reap
more from the latter. All impartial
authorities believe Japan intends
holding out until a concession is
signed by either side, when it will
support the signatory until the deal
becomes valid.
Japan is playing the game for
the big stakes which It may win.
The occupation of Siberia with TO-
900 troops costs 90 per cent of To-
kyo's national budget Corruption
among the Japanese officers is al
legged to be enormous. Through the
playing of one Russian faction
against another, it is declared, huge
sums have stuck in the hands of
the Japanese military and manT
have returned to their country rich.

At the same time. the pressure

dried fish per month. Their are no

per pound, and shoes cost 100000

The German colonists who had
settled in the Volga district all have
