New Note on zap Controversy
Is Positive in
Tone.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The United
States has addressed a note to Japan on
the zap controversy and the subject Of
mandates in general which is understood
to be much sharper in tone than any OF
its predecessors, it was learned here to-
day.
The new communication is the latest In
a series of diplomatic exchanges which
has taken place between Tia NO govern
ments since the internati0n.l cable con-
ference began trying to dispose of the
former German cables in the Pacific to
which Japan has stubbornly advanced
claims under the mandate powers as
signed her by the league Of nations.
Copies of this latest communication
have been forwarded to the governments
Of Great Britain and France as interest
ed parties in the mandate controversy,
it was also learned.
It is understood that the United States
positively declined to admit in this com
munlcatlon that this government ever
gave its consent to the division Of the
islands Of the Pacific, north and south Of
the equator, between Great Britain and
Japan.
Under the division Japan was TO get all
the islands north OF the equator, while
Great Britain secured those south. This
Government has steadfastly declined to
recognize the justice or validity Of this
agreement and has emphasized more
strongly than ever before in the new
communication that the United States
can not accept such an agreement.

The evidence showed in the Buckner
trial that It was Lees car which was
used by Kaufman and the others on the
night OF the tragedy last fall, when Ma

The indictment against the seven men
was drawn apparently on the theory that

from being a principal.

STATE WINS ITS
CONTENTION IN
GEORGIA CASE
Williams Denied Continuance
After His Attorneys Make
Vigorous Fight.
DEATH FARM TRIAL ON

CONVICTION. Ga, April 5.-Facing
trial on the first of three charges OF
completely in the murder of three negro
farm hands he had employed, John Will
liams, central figure in GeOrgias most
sensational death case, arrived here to-
day from the county Jail at Atlanta and
was Immediately taken to the county
courthouse, where preparations had been
made to start his trial on a charge of
murder in connection with the death OF
Willie Preston.
Preston was one of the three negroes
whose bodies were found In the Vel
low River, and which led directly to the
investigation which resulted in the dis
coYery Of total of eleven bodies of VIII
Hams former employees.
Green f. johnson, counsel for viii
liams, asked for a continuance in the
trial of Williams on a charge of murder
when the case was called and Solicitor
General Brand announced the State ready
for trial. Johnson said he had not time
to prepare his case.
One hundred veniremen, especially sum
moned for this case, were on hand when
Judge Hutchinson Of the Stone Mountain
circuit of the Georgia Superior Court
mounted the bench. Special deputy sher-
IFS were sprinkled about the courtroom
and )patrolled the streets outside. There
have been rumors that trouble might de-
velOp during the course of the trial, but
Judge Hutchinson and Governor Dorsey
have scorned suggestions that State
troops be modified here as a precautiOn.
The State scored its first point when
Judge Hutchinson overruled the defense S
plea for a continuance. Counsel for the
defense made a vigorous fight, declaring
they should have time to examine Clyde
Manning, the States star witness, and
then ten weeks to prepare the case. They
also declared there was fault in the
indictment In that 1t charges Manning
and Williams with having killed Lindsey

TOO FAVORABLE
TRADE BALANCE
DISADVANTAGE
u. S. Program Considers Buy
ing and Investment in
Foreign Countries.
NEW PLAN WORKED OUT

WASHINGTON, April Ga new plan
for stabilizing exchange and at the
same time building up foreign trade, has
been worked out by State Department
experts and is about to be put into opera
ton, it was learned today. tenta-
tive outline of the plan sent to American
consular agents all over the world is
said to be meeting with an enthusiastic
response.
The novelty of the new program con-
sists in the fact that emphasis is laid
on buying and investment, rather than
on selling In foreign markets Here
tofore. the chief duty Of American consuls
has been 10 find markets for American
commodities. Manufacturers Of par
tIcularly every article made In America
at one time or another have called on
the State Department to ascertain
through its consular agents where new
markets can be found for their products.
NEW INSTRUCTIONS
TO L. ). CONSULS.
The new instructions to consuls point
out that there is such a thing as too
favorable balance of trade. If exports
from the United States to Brazil or Ar
gentina, or any other country, for ex-
annie. are consistently much greater than
United States, the balance of trade may
become so favorable" that American ex-
change will go to a premium and the
South American countries will find it i'm
possible to buy in American markets.
With the dollar at a premium all over
the world, this is the situation which the
United States finds in many of the mar
kets of the world today, State Depart
ment experts say. They point out that
trade should be a reciprocal affair that
there are certain commodities which the
United States must purchase abroad be
cause they are not grown al home and
others which probably could be secured
abroad more reasonably, even though they
are produced to some extent in the Unit
ed States 1t IS to this latter class of
commodities that the new policy particu-
larly applies.
WAR MAKES L. 5.
CREDITOR NATION.
Consular agents are therefore instructed
to report what commodities may be pur-
chased In their territories more cheaply
than in the United States and also are di
rected to report on the possibilities for
Investment by American capitalists In in
dustries which may later yield commodi-
ties for export to America. In this way,
it IS pointed out, exports and imports
can be kept more nearly at a balance,
exchange will tend to greater stability
and trade Will be continuous instead of
remaining at the mercy of an erratic ex-
change rate
The United States has become a credi-
tor nation as a result of the war. experts
pointed out, and unless our foreign trade
is reOrganized in such a way as to bring
the dollar back to something like normal,
We are in danger of losing the tremen-
dous commercial advantage we have
gained as a result of the war
