WASHINGTON. Feb. 1-Settlement of diplomatic problems with Japan. especially as arising from the enact ment by California of anti-alien own ership legislation, will be postponed un- til the Harding administration as sumes office, it was indicated today by state department officials
 While no formal announcement was made it was intimated by officials that because of the short time left to the present administration and the long standing character of the problems now in the process of solution between the two governments it would be the part of wisdom not to hasten unduly their final adjustment merely to conclude treaty under this administration.
 Officials also said that the recom- mendations submitted to the respective governments by Roland s. Morris. am bassador to Japan, and Maron Shide- hara Japanese ambassador, as re- suit of their informal conversations df- rected to a solution of the problems were not to be interpreted as in the nature of an agreement. It might be necessary, he added, for the ambassa- dors to resume their conversations aft CT the two governments had studied the reports.
 Both Secretary of State Colby and Under Secretary Davis during the last few days have been engaged in study ing Ambassador Morris report, but they have not yet reached the point of taking up the question with President Wilson

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-Berlfn newspapers are as one in voicing the opinion that the separations conditions sound the commercial deathknell of the German nation and the economic ruin of cen- tral Europe, including France. Belgium and Italy. The press. however, does not presume to advise the cabinet as to its course. reaching the conclusion that Germany is powerless to oppose this victory madness"
 Some conservative organs. discuss ing the probable effect of the enforce ment conditions. suggest they would leave Germany a plaything to the ex- tremists.
 The newspapers display animosity against the provision for a F per cent tax on German exports. This proyi- sion. Vorwaerts declares, will in five years force the world to desire free trade"
 The yossische Zeitung declares the plan as a whole means perpetual slavery for Germany. It casts a cloud over the European situation, engel- ders new hatreds and opens the way toward world revolution. it insists Only Great Britain would profit, it thinks. but the Tagehlatt does not agree with this. saying on the other hand:
 Lloyd George has betrayed the in terests Of the British people"
 The Nord Deutsche Allegemaine Zeitung declares that all circuits of Germans have been united in the spirit of revolt by the new conditions.

Against 42-Year Period

LONDON. Feb. 1.-Dr. Simons, Ger man foreign minister, defining the att titude of the government on repara- tions. according to the Berlin corre- spondent of the Times. declared that the question whether delegates would be sent to London was dependent on whether the entente regarded their de- cisions in t he light of proposals and objected to counter-p proposals in the negotiations there or whether the Paris tecision constituted conclusions on which there could be no discussion.
 The German government would evade an actual invitation to London, requesting whether the delegates would be received as negotiators or simply to receive the decision. If the entente decided to admit negotiations, the delegates would attend with def mite proposals.
 Dr. Simons inveighed against the idea of spreading the separations pe- more than the treaty allowed. He pointed out that the treaty provided for reparations only to the civilian population suffering specific damage and that Germany had the right to be heard in the examination of these claims
 It is generally regarded. according to the correspondent, that the proposal that Germany shall not raise foreign loans without the consent of the allies Is intended 9s a warning to America not to lend to Germany. and to Ger many not to borrow from America, but from the allies. The situation is tense Dr. Simons last evening wrote his res ignation. but was pacified by President Ebert. Preceding this a cabinet crisis was narrowly averted.

Harding.'s Income Tax as President

rRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wireJ

WASHINGTON, Feb. w. G. Harding, as president. will receive something like S1S,000 less com pensation annually than Woodrow Wilson had received. The treasury will pay MT. Harding the same amount it pays Mir. Wilson S75,000-but internal revenue bu- reau officials say Mir. Harding must return nearly one-sourth in income tax
 President Wilson was exempted from the income tax under a su- preme court ruling because he came into office before enactment of the 1918 revenue laws, under which taxes were sought to be i'm posed on the salaries of the presi- dent and of federal judges. The supreme court held that the tax could not be collected in the case of incumbents because of the con- stitutional inhibition against re- duction of salaries of the executive and federal judges during their term. The solicitor general has ruled that the tax could be col lected from officials taking office after the law became effective be- cause that would not bring about any reduction in salary during the term of office.
