Future Policy OF Japan Rests
Virtually in Hands of Ten Men
Ry LOUIS SEIBOLD,

The fundamental cause OF the fall
ure of Japanese leaders to reconcile
themselves to the possible eventual
!ties of the Washington conference is
their obstinate refusal to be convinced
that no Interior or selfish motives lie
back of the American proposal for an
impartial review and unself: = read
justment of world affairs as the best
guarantees for enduring peace.
The final decision as to what shall be
the future policy Of japan practically
rests in the hands of ten men, who to
I'll intents and purposes constitute the
controlling influence of the empire.
These are the Emperor, the Crown
Prince. Prince Fushima, Prince Yama-
gata, Marquis Saionji, Baron Maxine,
Marquis Matsukata, Viscount Chinda,
Premier Hara, Admiral Baron Kata,
Secretary Of the Imperial Navy. All
Of these men, with the exception Of
the Crown Prince and Viscount Chinda,
represent the most reactionary ele-
ments in Japan.
The progressive attitude Of the
Crown Prince. who seems to have abb
sorbed many progressive ideas during
his European odyssey. Is unquestion-
ably very disturbing to the old clan
leaders, who regard with disfavor any
departure from the established tradi-
tions. It is to the Crown Prince that
the younger element, who style them
selves Democrats and Progressives
and Liberals, look for guidance in their
ambitions, which contemplate the dis
Carding Of the old Influences that
make for militarism and the perpetual
ton of imperialistic doctrines. But
the Crown Prince Is still a callow
youth and extremely susceptible to the
influences OF family. which the old
timers seek by subtle and insidious
processes to perpetuate.
The officials in the Kasummi- Co
Sake (Foreign Office. on whose
shoulders will fall the task of nego-
tiatinS at Washington bargain ac-
Ceptable to the people of the empire,
have not up to date fully recovered
from the distressing state Of mental
ferment into which they worked them
selves over Mr.. Harding's suggestion.

ties provoked by It. In the absence Of
n definite programme which the i'm
rerial oligarchy has not finally ap-
rroved they have confined themselves

counselling moderation, and have al
ways talked peace.
Real Power Behind Government.
The real power behind the Japanese
Government and throne--the Genro
of Elder Statesmen and the ancient
clan leaders, who must always be con-
suited, and their joint tool, the General
Staff-have talked not at all. But they
have pondcred deeply over possible
events which may compel foreign
war as the lesser of two evils and,
with characteristic secrecy, have set
about preparing for 1t.
The Hara Ministry and it's support
ers In the dominant Seiyukai party
have struggled to present the best face
that a defendant can take into court,
because every Japanese leader enter
tains the suspicion that his country
may be compelled to assume that role.
They do not concede, of course, that
there Is the slightest justification for
1t. but they nevertheless privately
admit apprehension that some of the
acts OF their Government ought to be

Washington, ID. c.. Oct. 10.
BY vote of AZ to 81 the Senate to-
day passed the Borah bill exempting
American vessels engaged in coast
wise traffic from payment Of Panama
Canal tolls.
The measure now goes to the House,
where in view of the approaching
arms conference. it probably will be
permitted to rest TRANQUILITY through
the winter, although it is believed
generally it will become q law before
the expiration of the present Congress.
Party lines were obliterated and
some curious political paradoxes were
revealed in the final roll call on the
bin. Senator Lodge voted against the
measure Notwithstanding the Repub-
lican platform declaration and Presi-
dent Harding's warm approval Of the
free toll plank.
On the other hand, Senator Under
wood registered his vote in favor OF
the bill. The Republicans divided IS
in favor Of the bill and II against 1t.
The Democrats cast IL votes for the
bill and 20 against it.

IMPROVED SERVICE TO IL,vANA-No lay
Coast Linz n. r.. i2%e RfeAdwsy.-Adv.
The New York herald., 1921-10-11


The passage OF the bill so far as the
Senate is concerned completely undoes
what President Wilson accomplished in
1914, when he frankly repudiated the
free tolls plank Of the Democratic plat
form OF 1912 and after one Of the most
spectacular parliamentary contests ever
waged IN the Capitol procured the repeal
Of the free tolls clause Of the Panama
Canal act, previously enacted by Con-
gress.
Text OF the Measure.
The bill passed to-day is brief and to
the point. The text follows:
Be 1t enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives OF the
United States Of America in Con-
gress assembled. that hereafter no
tolls shall be levied upon vessels
passing through the Panama Canal
engaged In the coastwise trade Of the
United States.
Section 2. That Section 1 of an
act entitled ian act to amend Section
s of an act to provide for the OPEN
ing. maintenance, protection and
operation of the Panama Canal and
the sanitation and government of
the Canal Zone, approved August "a,
1912" which said amendatory act
was passed and approved June 13,
1914. be. and the same Is. hereby re-
pealed.
Among the Senators who voted on the
tolls question In 1914 and again to-day
few changes were recorded. Senator
Dillingham; (vt). and Senator Warren
<Wyo.), both Republicans. favored free
tolls when the issue was brought to q
vote In 1914, but they voted against the
Borah bill to-day. Senator Lenroot
(wis.), member Of the House In 1914.
voted against free tolls then. but he sup
ported the Borah bill to-day.
Four hours Of animated debate pre-
ceded the roll call. The arguments were
strikingly similar to those of 1914. vir-
tually the only new contention raised In
the discussion was that It would be un-
wise for the United States to press the
tolls issue at this time because It might
add new complication to the armament
conference and injure the prospect for
an international armament. agreement.
Foremost among the Senators who
took this position were Lodge MASS }.
and Mccormick (Ill). Senator Borah
(Idahv). author OF the bill. gave the
Senate to understand he had consulted

I want to repeat q request IN this
column that l made Of several Of the
parties who made the rounds of the
schools during American Education
week, and that I made OF the secre-
tarv of the chamber of commerce, and
that is that l would be glad to have
each party write a short statement
Of the condition of the schools visit
ed, and any suggestions that may ap-
pear to them Of Improvement that
could and should be made to better
conditions. l think it would be help
full and do good to print just such q
symposium, just a plain ard fair
statement of the conditions of the
schools as they appeared to the men,
hers of the party. One or two of the
visiting parties have promised to
write such an article. Just one or
two would fail to accomplish what |
think would be the result if We could
get such a statement from each par
tv. 1t would act as a survey of the
schools of the county.

ROADS NAMED FOR
TWO DIVISIONS
The State.

The State.
AS a memorial to all North Carolina
men serving il the world war the
.Asheville-Moorehead city highway and
the Observation-Disclosures highway
the two North Carolina trunk lines
from the west to the east, have been
designated as "The Old Hickory high
way and ''The Wildcat highway" re-
S2ectively, according 70 information
received in Columbia by the Wildcat
Veterans association. These two
roads will be marked by the insignia
worn by the men Of the two divisions
ard VIXEN completed, according to
the North Carolina state highway
commission, will be equal to the best
highways in the country.
The naming of the two roads was
taken by the North Carolina highway
commission in accordance with res
clution passed by the North Carolina
legislature, the move having IS in
ccotion with Miss May Jones of A3he-
Vile, who was "Y'' secretary with the
3lSth machine gun battalion in
France. It is now planned that each
marker along the two roads, bearing
TIE insignia Of the division after
which the highway is named, shall al
so commemorate some incident in the
organizations career. In this way
the curves, etc., would receive the
name of some battle in which the divi-
sion participated while the mile posts
would tell the story of towns hbera:-
ed, German position taken, rest camps,
etc. This, it is thought, would moe
nearly carry out the purpose Of the
o, ,;g:natcrs ct the move and in truth
make the two permanent highways

the war. An official copy Of the Wild
cat (Eiehty-frst) division insignia,

: You will notice from statement
from the state department of eGuca-
ton that Newberry county stands at
the head of the list among the cou9-
ties in the number of schools and the
amount of aid for term extension. l
regret that this is the case. 1t does
not speak we'll for our system OF
schools in this county. Of course l
am glad that we got this amount since
we could not qualify for any more,
but it is not a good showing for any
county to have so many schools re-
ceiving aid under the term extension
act. 1t means that we have too many
one teacher schools, and you will no
tice that some of the big counties
have only few schools receiving aid
under this act. Two of the schools
for which we receive term extension
aid have two teachers, and they are
GOOD schools, but can not qualify as
rural graded schools because they
have not the necessary enrolment, and
yet the communities maintain two
teachers and We get the 500 term
extension aid and that helps some. We
really have thirty cne teacher schools
in this county, more than half of the
schools of the county. 1t should not
be so and yet it IS almost absolutely
necessary on account of geographical
boundaries to have the one teacher
school in some of these districts, but
good many of them could be re-
arranged so that We could have two
and three teachers, and even high
school, instead OF the small school
that We now have, and in this way
could get more education for our dol
lars. if we could only make the peo-
pie see it. May be when we get the
survey of the county made we may
be able to show it to the people. What
| would like to see IS more money for
the rural graded school and more Of
them. l have made application for
rural graded school aid for twenty
ore schools, and that IS much better
than it once was, but we should have
at least ten more Of these schools.
The money for the term extension
schools has already been paid and is
in the hands of the county treasurer.
It amounts to $2S97.50 and the rural
graded school aid will reach around
$4,000 or $4,000 for the twenty one
schools. And they are all two and
more teacher schools.
