Hughes Tells Allies We Claim
Voice in Disposal of the
German Colonies.
FIRM NOTE ON zap ISLAND
Germans Get Disappointing Communi-
cation from Washington Concerning
MISUNDERSTANDING War and
Peace Program Outlined
Great Britain Facing
Complete lndustri-
al Disaster.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

President Harding's international
policy is becoming better defined day
by day, and the world is fast learning
the attitude of his administration in
foreign matters. There were several
important developments during the
past week, taking the form of notes
TO other powers.
Foremost Of these was the message
which Secretary of State Hughes sent
TO Great Britain, France, Italy and
Japan concerning mandates. 1t fol-
lowed up the course adopted by Secre-
tary Colby just before Mr. Wilson
went out of office, but was stronger in
argument and more pointed in sugges-
ton than the note of Mr.. Hughes
predecessor. In effect, Secretary
Hughes note says that the United
States holds that the disposition, with
out its consent, of any of the terrific
ries ceded TO the allied and associated
powers by the central powers is In
valid; and in particular it suggests
that the approval by the council of
the League of Nations of the award
to Japan Of the mandate for zap and
the other North Pacific islands should
be reconsidered. This In view of the
fact that, q month before that action
by the council, the United States
called the attention of the powers to
its understanding that zap was TO be
internatiOnallZed as a cable station
and not given to Japan.
Secretary Hughes states fatty that
the right to dispose of the overseas
possessions of Germany. acquired
through the victory of the allied and
associated powers, is shared by the
United States and that there can be
no valid or effective disposition of
those possessions without the assent
of the United States. This Of course
applies not only to the North Pacific
islands. hut also TO Palestine, Mesopo-
tamia and the German colonies In
Africa and Australasia.
IT IS believed in London that Great
Britain will give TO japan advice that
will amount to command to yield
to Americas claims in the matter Of
Yap aud to consent to reopen the case
in the interest Of world peace and
Justice. The British government Is
Influenced both by desire for the
friendship of America and by pressure
from the dominlOns, which are strong
ly opposed TO Japanese domination Of
the Pacific

leagues have been seeking to avert 1t
by every means consistent with the
policies of the government. Their fail
ure, If they do fail. probably will mean
their own downfall. In anticipation
of violence-which already has broken
out in Scotland and South Wales
troops have been distributed In vari-
Gus parts of the country and others
have been recalled from Ireland and
are being brought even from the Near
East. Warships have been stationed
In several important ports. At the
close of the week there was still hope
that negotiations between the miners
and mine owners would be reopened,
with the government acting as media
tor.

Prospects for peace in Ireland have
fizzled again. Hostilities on the island
continue undiminished, and the crown
forces have been subjected to a num-
Der of strong attacks by the "repub-
lican" fighters. The government made
a rather bald attempt to conciliate
the Irish Catholics by the appointment
of Lord Edmund Talbot to succeed
Niscount French as viceroy of Ireland.
He is the leading Roman Catholic of
England. The Sim Feiners did not
fall" for this very well, an official
statement issued by them saying Tai
bot had been appointed because the
government hoped To turn his name
and religion to successful propagandist
use in foreign countries and create
disunion among Irish Catholics. The
statement added:
THE actual effect of this appoint
ment among Irish Catholics will be re-
pulsion at the thought Of a Catholic
acting as the agent of tyranny"

Another note from Secretary Hughes,
of vast import, was sent 70 Germany
I'm reply to requests from Berlin for
n statement of the administration
attitude in the matter of reparations.
This document dashed the hopes Of
the Germans that the refusal Of Amer
lea TO ratify the treaty OF Versailles
meant an Endorsement of their efforts
TO escape punishment They were in
formed that this government stands
with the governments Of the allies In
holding Germany responsible for the
war and. therefore, morally bound to
make reparatlon, so far as may be
possible"
The only consolation for the Ger
mans In the note was the expressed
hope that reopened negotiations 'may
lead TO a prompt settlement which
will at the same time satisfy the just
claims OF the allies and permit Ger
many hopefully to renew its produc-
tive activities"
The German note suggested that the
only solution OF the reparations prob
lem is an international loan, In favor

The visit to Washington of NJ. vi
viani and the need of a program for
the consideration of congress in the
extra session have brought out the
administrations plans for ending the
state of war and for dealing with the
question of world peace. These plans,
according to authoritative information,
may be thus summarized:
/. Complete rejection of the Yer
sailles peace treaty, including the
league covenant.
=. Adoption of the Knox resolution
declaring peace.
3. Negotiation of a separate treaty
with Germany. settling damage claims
and other questions growing out of the
war;
4. Declaration in the Knox resolu
ton of American intention TO cooper
ate with our chief co-belligerents for
mutual defense if the peace of Europe
should be threatened by any power or
combination Of powers.
5. Adoption Of separate resolution
declaring that the United States
stands with the allied powers in hold
ing Germany responsible for the war
and bound TO make reparation to the
full extent of it's ability.
6. Negotiation with Great Britain
and Japan of an agreement for the re-
duction of naval armament.
Z. Submission TO the other powers
of suggestions as to the association of
nations for the promotion of world
peace which the United States would
be willing to join in conformity with
its traditional policy of non-entangle-
ment in the affairs of Europe and Of
preservation of independence Of ac-
ton.
1t was stated that the Knox reso-
luton would be introduced in the SEN
ate Immediately upon the converting
of congress, after being amended by
the addition of section declaring
that the United States stands ready
to fight whenever in the judgment Of
this government the civilization of
the world is imperiled. This promised
cooperation in the preservation Of
peace is an important part Of Mr.. Har-
ding's program for ultimately abolish
ing. war. There Is reason to be-
lieve that NJ. Viviani is well satisfied
with the plans of the administration
and that France will he as satisfied
when he has explained them TO his
countrymen. The satisfaction Of the
other allied powers is problematical.

of which the allied and associated
powers would waive the general mort
gage on German assets created by the
treaty Of Versailles. 1t also invited
the examination by unbiased experts
of Germanys ability to make payment.
On these propositions the American
reply made no comment.

major recommendations which the
commission makes are as follows:
One centralized governmental au-

A decentralization of administration

A request to congress for additional

RIGA, Dec 2S.-The first official report of cannibalism in the famine districts of Russia has been made to the all- Russian soviet congress by Delegate Ovsienko of Samara, ac cording to a dispatch to the official Rosta news agency, dated Moscow.
 At Ramikoveksy the parish people are eating the bodies of their dead he told the congress. It is dangerous to bury the famine victims in the presence of the people and guards must be kept over them until they are in state that makes eating impos- sible."
 He said that Dr. Nansen. high com missioner of the committee on Rus sian relief, even though a hardened explorer, returned to Moscow sick ened by the scenes he witnessed. The speaker said that children were being taken to the steppes and left there to die; that mothers, maddeued by their experiences, cut the throats of their ba bes.
 At the beginning of January. he continued. the soviets, with all their outside aid, will be able to feed only half the starving children and only one-twentieth of the adults. The rest of the people would have to die while awaiting help.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Germany' diplomatic and consular forces today pressed their preparations for hang ing out their flag again in Washing ton, New York and other cities. The steamer Nieuw Amsterdam arrived with Karl Lang, charge of the Ger man embassy, and consular agents for western cities.
 The new German consulate here opens January g. Most of its staff already has arrived.
 Among those who arrived with Herr Lang-who, on appointment of a German ambassador, will become German consul general at New York was Armand Nalette, vice consul at San Francisco. Herr Lang. who has been 2f years in the German diplomatic service summed up the question of indemnities in these words:
 At present Germany can not pay. We must devise new ways" Expanding on conditions at home, he continued:
 Economic conditions are much sounder. The new republican gov ernment is doing it's best to establish good conditions. If they leave us the means to do things, we will certainty come back The people are inclined to live in an orderly manner and want better conditions of life. Tt is very hard for the people to face the future under conditions i'm posed in the treaty of peace.

WASHINGTON Dec. 2S.-Discuss- ing the conclusion of consideration of the submarine tonnage question by the Washington conference, French delegation spokesment tonight said their government was determined not to be helpless voluntarily and by written agreement in the presence of Great Britain. Members of the dele gation smiled at suggestions of A J. Balfour. of Great Britain in the naval committee which they inter- preted as attributing to France. a desire to make a sea war CT England. Deprecating this, they pointed to the relative size of the two fleets and de- clared there was great difference between being unarmed and being moderately armed"
 It is not believed at French head quarters that the approaching con- versations of M. Briand and Mir. Lloyd George at Cannes, on repara- tiofs and associated economies will touch Washington conference Ques- tions. The question of submarines and other light tonnage vessels is be- neved by the French to go far deeper than current financial problems and of having in it something fundamen- tai and traditional reaching back into the long rivalry which has existed
