FRANKLY WILLING TO TALK
ON QUESTION IN GENERAL
Choice Of Prince Tokugawa Meets

TOXIC. September 23.--As part
of her fundamental policy at the

not permit the "scrapping' Of the

authoritative position. He asserted
Japan considered these matters as
accomplished facts which concerned
China and Japan directly.
In the general discussion of far

said to be willing frankly to explain

tions The government is preparing
to issue special instructions to the
Japanese delegates concerning the
limitation Of armaments, says the
Nichi Nichi Shimbun.
Prepared to Curtail.
It is indicated that the project for
the building of eight battleships and
eight battle cruisers originated in the
idea that this program was necessary
for the national defense. but that
Japan has come to recognize the
project has lost it's original signifl-
canoe. She is. therefore, prepared to
carry out such curtailment, it is said.
as would make her navy strong
enough to maintain. the peace of the
far east. This curtailment would be
by agreement with the powers in a
spirit of mutual concession and COM
promise. The newspaper says that
the outline of this program decided
upon by the navy will be submitted
to the cabinet.
Newspapers here commend the ap-
rointment of Prince Iyesato Tokugawa
as head of the Japanese delegation
and declare 1t TO be another proof Of
Iremier Hara's Craftsmanship, be-
cause 1T will silence opposition in the
house OF peers, the members of which
are delighted with the appointment.
The choice of Prince Tokugawa also
meets with national favor and gives

.S|NN FEIN CHIEFS
ASKED TO PARLEY
BY LLOYD GEORGE

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September a9.-The Sim
f'ein leaders were today invited by
1rime Minister Lloyd George to a
conference in London October IL, on
an Irish peace adjustment
The invitation was extended in Mr..
Ll9yd Georges reply to Eamonn De
palera's dispatch from GairIoch,
Scotland. the prime minister's tenn
porary residence.
Stipulations In Note.
The reply carried a declination to
meet the Sim Fein negotiators on
the basis of the previous correspond
ence between Mr.. De Valera and Mr.
Lloyd George. the prime minister
holding this to be basis which
might involve Great Britain in a
recognition of Irish sovereignty.
Great Britain's position on this point
was Fundamental to the existence
of the British empire. the premier de-
clared
Mr.. Lloyd George, however. renewed
the offer OF a conference with a view
to ascertaining how the association
OF Ireland with the community of ma :
tions known as the British empire
may best be reconciied with Irish ma
tional aspirations proposing London
as the place and October II as the
date.
Easy for Irish to Accept.
MIR. Dc Valera, it Is pointed out here
has already agreed TO confer on the
question Of association of Ireland
with the empire, but has reiterated
the decision of the dali eireann that
it's negotiators would consider them
selves representatives of an independ-
ent country. Since then. however. Ar
thur Griffith. who Will b. the chief me-
gotiator for tlate Sim Fein should the
conference be. held. has been quoted
as declaring the Slim Fein had never
asked the British government to rec
oguixe the claim to Irish independence
as a preliminary to conference Thus
the view held in some quarters here
Is that the Sim Fefn can now accept
Mr.. Lloyd Georges invitation with
out abandoning its own standpoint.

Fresh Invitation to Conference in

BY the Associate Press
GAIRLoCH, Scotland. September 90.
The text Of Prime, Minister Lloyd
Georges reply to the latest note from
Eamonn De Valera, which was dis
patched to Dublin early today, fol-
lows: 49,
>"Sir- His majesty's government
have given close and earnest con-
sderation to the correspondence
which has passed between US since
their invitation to you to send dele
gates to a conference at Inverness.
I'm spite of their sincere desire for
peace, and in spite Of the more con-
ciliatory tone Of your latest COM
munications, they cannot enter into a
conference upon the basis Of : this
correspondence.
Notwithstanding your personal as
surances to the contrary, which they
much appreciate, it might be argued
in the future that the acceptance of a
conference on this basis had involved
them In a recognition which no Brit
ish government can accord. On this
point they must guard themselves
against any possible doubt. There is
no purpose to be served by any fur
ther interchange Of explanatory and ar
gumentatfve communications upon
this subject. The position taken up
by his majesty's government is fun
ish empire, and they cannot alter 1t.
MY colleagues and remain. how
ever, keenly anxious to make, In CO.
operation with your delegates, an
other determined effort to explore
every possibility of a settlement by
personal discussion"
The proposals which we have al
ready made have been taken by the
whole world as proof that our en-
deavors for reconciliation and settle
ment are no empty form. and we feel
that conference, not correspondence
Is the most practical and hopeful way
to an understanding such as we ar
IDENTIFY desire to achieve.
I'VE, therefore. send you herewith q
fresh invitation to conference in
London on October II. where we car
meet your delegates rs the spokesmen
Of the people whom you represent
with a view to ascertaining how the
association Of ireland with the com
munity of nations known as the Brit
ish empire may best be reconciled
with Irish national aspirations.
IT am, sir. yours faithfully.

The Commissioners. it is understood.
have asked Congress in their esti-

requested slight increases in the
lump sums that arc appropriated

While counting off strike ballots of

no doubt in the minds of union off,
Gals today as to how the men stood.
Unofficial reports were that 80 per
cent Of those voting were opposed to
acceptance of the wage cut of July l.
authorized by the United States Rail-
road Labor Board.
notwithstanding this attitude on
the part of the men. it was stated
that a strike was in no wise certain.
The general committees will decide
on strike, and they are not bound
to abide by the vote of the members.
There was also feeling that no final
action will be taken until 1t has been
determined how the other railroad
brotherhoods vote. The vote of the
four other unions will be counted here

TRADE JOURNAL MAN HITS MARK

J. NJ. James, western representa- tive for the Chiffon publications, which include the Commercial Car Journal and the Automobile Trade Journal. is an optimist- MT. James, who is now in Phoenix, jotted down some verses which come pretty near covering the entire subject, and they are herewith printed for the benefit of the pessimists among us:
 THE CAFE Among game cocks. the bird that
 wins
 Is the one that stands the gaff. He gets many knocks, tops off his
 pins
 And stands lot of chaff. The game of life is on that plan,
 Your gizzard must have sap, In your bag O tricks, have the pep
 that sticks
 Learn how to stand the gaff. In the depth of ships. there's sinewed
 backs That feed the maws of flame. And the turbines reach, keeps out
 the slacks As they fight the tempests game. No sniper stripped to do his bit But hears the lightning's clap, Yet every man of noble clan That's game to stand the gaff. In fathom's leash, where muscles bend
 To cleave the mineral rock Where shot and drill, to the world Is still
 And death has hollow mock. Where the sunlight's sheen, is never seen, And chance is ahead, butsa lap, There's a worthy crew, that sweats | for you
 Men that stand the gaff. The tasks you've got. are merely play To what some others get You have sunshine days, and happy ways
 You're opportunity's pet The easy road. has never a load
 The heights have many a gap, So buckle your girth, and knuckle
 your worth, Be game to stand the gaff.
