embark on short notice upon any pro.
gramme of naval building that might be
necessitated by any unexpected turn OF
international relations. Mr.. Hughes ap-
preciated all these circumstances and
knew how to sympathize with the popu-
lar sentiment prevailing In Japan on
the question of the Mutsu.
The naval programme as reported by
Mr.. Hughes is exactly as I reported on
December 13. Japan has given up the
10-10-7 ratio which her experts at first
advocated, but is allowed TO keep the
Mutsu without making any change to
the 5-5-3 ratio as proposed by Mr..
Hughes. This is proof that both the
American and Japanese delegations are
animated with the spirit of conciliation,
and are eager to accomplish the pur-
pose for which this epoch making con-
ference has been called.
If the conference is to attain that pur-
pose IL is not enough to arrive at an
agreement on naval ratio, but the agree
ment must be reached after full and
frank exchange of views and giving no
occasion for unhappy feeling on the part
of any of the participating nations. That
purpose has been accomplished by the
mastery manner in which Mr.. Hughes

won the confidence Of the Japanese with
out recedng from his original stand.
This at least is the prevailing opinion
among the Japanese.
The Japanese delegation is In receipt
of number of cablegrams showing that
public opinion at home, as expressed
through the press. is eminently satis-
fed with the naval decision reached by
the conference. 1t also indicates that
this decision. coupled with the new four
Power treaty, will prove to be a strons

in Japan for the reduction of the army
The Toxic -Shintpo, for one. deeply
regrets that the Washington conference
is not going to discuss the reduction OF

RATHENAU MAY BE
FOREIGN MINISTER
German Industrial Party is
Ready to Join Coalition.

Special Cable to THE New York HERALD
Copyright, 1891, by THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Berlin. Dec. IL.
In connection with the entrance Of
new Ministers into the Cabinet Berlin
political circles believe DR.. Walter
Rathenau. former Minister Of Recon-
struction, may become Minister of For
eign Affairs.
The German Industrial party is ready
to join the Coalition Government i'm
mediately. This attitude is expressed
in communique which the Industrial
party press bureau has just issued. 1t
suggests that the Government should
find a broader and firmer basis of CO.
operation in Parliament and calls on the
Social-Democratic party to prove that 1t
does not indulge in party politics only.
This is meant as a "feeler" TO see
whether the Socialists are ready to CO.
operate with the Industrial party within
the Coalition Government.

ing and sweeping nature, his conduct
OF the delicate parley that followed the
presentation of that programme has
called forth even a greater admiration
because Of the good temper. magnan-
unity and conciliatory spirit he has con-
sistently maintained.
To discriminating observers his un-
ostentatious, unpretentio-5 manner in
announcing the consummation OF that
all important parley was exceedingly
pleasing. He appeared wholly uncon-
scious of the great part he had played
in It. He reported about 1t to the rep
resentatives OF the press in a matter of
course, businesslike fashion. as though
he was unaware of the tremendous bene-
fetal influence which that report was go
ing to exercise upon the whole world and
humanity.
Especially are the Japanese pleased
with the open mind edness. frankness
and friendliness which have character
lied Mr. Hughes's attitude throughout
the negotiations that lasted a month.
He had the vision to see the unfortunate
effect which might have been produced
upon the mental attitude of the Japanese
people had America and Britain COM
PEELED the Japanese delegation to ac-
cept programme to which there was
strong opposition on tho other side
of the water.
As the real situation was revealed
to him Mr.. Hughes came to understand
that the Japanese people had justi-
fable reasons for their reluctance to
put the Mutsu upon the scrap heap.
This dreadnought, which has not only
been launched but is fully equipped. Is
the result of heroic sacrifice which
the masses Of Japan have offered upon
the altar of national defence.
Had Japan been forced to destroy this
new ship her people would have In
evitably felt that grave injustice had
been done to them. Their feelings would
have been doubly depressed by reason
of their consciousness OF the lack OF
steel and other materials which makes
1t practically impossible for them to

MOISTURE PROOF SHAKER
Head of Pasnik Co. O5.ains Patent
On SAT- Receptacls

Alex NJ. Pasnik of Norwich, head OF
the Pasnik Company that has just
opened it's fourth chain store in Put
nam, was recently granted patent
on an improved salt shaker, and in
the near future expects to start the
manufacture of his invention. Several
years ago Mr.. Fasnik saw the need of
moisture proof salt shaker and a
shaker that discharges from the bot
tom rather than from the top. With
this in mind, Mr.. Pasni1 went to work
on the idea and now has an article
which meets all requirements.
The exterior of the shaker is of
glass with white metal or aluminium
top and mechanism. To discharge the
salt from the shaker, one has only to
push the plunger. This opens the out
let in the bottom and the salt is site
out as desired according to the pres
sure on the plunger. To prevent the
hardening Of the salt through moist
ure, there is moisture proof washer
in the bottom on which fits the plung-
er. There is also a grinder that vii

quently found in salt. To refill the
shaker all that is necessary to do is to
remove the top and place in the salt.
Mr.. Pasnik feels that his invention
will fill long felt need and has al
ready secured figures on the glas.
work for the sides and base Of the
shaker, as well as price on the meta
work. The shaker will be assemble
in Norwich and each article will bear
the word Norwich" on it. Mr.. Pas
nix is also considering extensive ad-
vertising throughout this country and
in Europe.
