DAUGHERTY UPHOLDS
RULING ON LIQUOR
CBy Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, July 6. Despite
diplomatic protests Attorney General
Daugherty has upheld the ruling OF
his predecessor that alcoholic liquor
cannot be transported across territory
of the United States in transit from
one country TO another.
The opinion was sent to the Gus
toms division of the treasury today
and a conference of customs officials
was held to determine methods OF
enforcing it.
Protests against this Interpretation
of the prohibition amendment and en-
forCement law we're filed some months
ago by the British embassy in behalf
of Canadian citizens and by the Italian
embassy, after Attorney General
Palmer had rendered a opinion on
February that such transit of liquor
was unlawful
In view of the diplomatic repre-
scntation following the change OF
administration the case was re-opened
and the hearings held at the Depart
ment of Justice. Considerable study
of customs regulations and practices
will be entailed by the decision, it
was said, since other commodities
moving through the same traffic lanes
are not Objectionable under laws OF
the United States.

FARMING POPULATION
CHANGE SHOWN BY
1920 CENSUS REPORT
CBy Associated Pross)

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The mum
Der of foreign born farmers in the
United States has decreased by $500
or 1872 per cent. in the last ten years,
the census bureau announced today.
The decrease, which was S1,14S among
German-born farmers alone, was due,
it was said, to the large number of
foreign-born who returned to their ma
tive countries during the war.
Native white farmers who numbered
4917,305 in 1920, constituted IS per
cent of the nations tillers. The re-
mainder were divided as follows:
Foreign-born white, 5S1,054; ne
groes, 926.257; Indians, 1928; jap
anese, $3.50; Chinese, 63S.
States showing the largest percent
age of foreign born white farmers in
1920 were: North Dakota, 46.7; Min
nesota, 81; Connecticut, 337; Wash,
ington, 29.S; California, 291; and Wis
consin, 28.5.
The number of negro farmers in
creased 81 per cent during the decade.
All but a little over one per cent OF
them were found in the southern
states.
Japanese farmers settled almost ex-
clusively in the far-western states, the
census report showed. California led
with 5,152; Washington had 500; Colt
orado. 321, and Oregon, 224.

HARDING CHARACTER
NOT UNDERSTOOD BY
JAPAN, SAYS OFFICIAL

TOXIC, July SIT is regrettable
that the real character and policy of
the new American president should be
misunderstood by some of the Japa-
nese people" said Micho Kaku, secre-
tary of the japanese embassy in
Washington who has just returned on
furlough, when interviewed by the
Asahi representative. Mr.. kaku con-
tinued:
The president has often had occa-
sion to express his conviction that an
Anglo American Japanese entente
should be made the basis of world
peace. There is every reason to be-
l1eVe that the American president and
his staff are all in favor of the main
tenance of friendly relations between
America and Japan.
Mr.. Ozaki's policy of armament
limitation produced a favorable i'm
preston on American minds in gen
eral although the plan was defeated
in the Japanese lower house.
Many Expect War
On my way back, l was often ask
ed by American friends where the
American-Japanese war was going to
break out, and some young American
women l met in the country districts
assured me that they were determin-
ed to offer their services as hospital
nurses upon the outbreak of Ameri-
can-Japanese hostilities.
Il was rather surprised that so
many Americans should anticipate an
American-Jap anese armed conflict.
My impression is that the Americans
are prepared to fight if challenged,
h1r 9TH h. ho l.
take up arms against the japanese.
The diplomatic relations of the two
countries are not, therefore, by any
means SO seriously strained or going
to be strained as to justify any antici.
patton OF an American-Japanese war.
II the situation appears to be any
thing but quite smooth, that is only be-
cause of the propaganda of some Chi
nese and Bolsheviks."
Military Influence Strong
In the Osaka Mainichi Mr.. Kaku
Is quoted as saying that what had
struck home particularly during his
three years service in the United
States was the deep impression which
Japan's militarism had made on Amer
lean minds. The general impression
among Americans is that the military
party is predominant in Japan and
that the Japanese government is I'M
der its Influence. This bears witness
to the extensive injury which the ex-
lstence of the military party in Japan
Is doing to the country's cause.
But Mr.. Kaku emphasized that Mr..
Ozaki's disarmament speeches had
produced greater echo than expect
ed and that Americans generally in
terpreted the speeches to indicate a
decline in the influence of the Japa-
nese military party.

No Nearer Settlement

Little hope of settlement in the

penters union were present with the
Master builders, Tuesday evening.
The contractors hold out firmly for a

penters, whose original demand was
Tor an 50 cent scale, offered to CON-
promise at 80 cents, but the offer was
not accepted, according to a local
contractor.
We want to employ union men if
possible, but there seems to be little
nope OF settlement at this time" said
one of the contractors.
