NATIONS ANXIOUS
TO GIVE TO CHINA
HER EMANCIPATION
DECLARE CAUTION
Japan Would Insist That Chi
mas Court System be Ex-
panded and Reconstructed
Before any of the Powers
Give Up Extra Territorial
Rights in That Country.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-With the
arms conference in adjournment the
various national groups further de-
veloped in consultations among them
,selves the policies they will follow
with reference to far eastern ques-
|tions and disarmament.
The British following the lead of
the French let it be known that as
to the cardinal principle of their
attitude they stood ready to perpe-
Iuate the open door in China, give up
extra territorial rights there as soon
as China's development will warrant
and in general aid the Chinese peo-
pie to assume place of expected
influence in the world. 1t is expected
Italy would take much the same posi-
ton. The Japanese already declaring
their Willingness to accept the Chi
nese declaration of principles as a
basic of discussion were at work
framing more a detailed statement
of their position after communicating
with Toxic.
There were indications the terri
torial phase of the situation would
occupy prominent place in such a
statement with Japan taking the posi-
tion that the powers cannot give up
extra territorial rights until China s
court system has been expanded and
|reOrganized.
For the United States no one would
speak authoritatively only referred
inquirers to the record of this govern
Iment's past attitude toward China.
In particular these general principles
are to be applied to the prewar sit
uation and will remain unrevealed
until the negotiations have gone
much further although It is under
stood the open door will remain the
basic principle.
In emphasizing England's readi'
ness to work for China's emancipa'
ltion the British spokesman insisted
that Great Britain had actually been
far in advance of other nations in
offering to relinquish extra territoria
jurisdiction in China as soon as tina,
government was so far developed a:
to insure the safety to foreigner:
and British nationalists. They re-
called that the point was treated il
, the treaty made IS years ago b!
Great Britain with China.

JAPAN HES|TATES
BEFORE SCRAPP|NG
HER GREAT SHIPS
Japan Argues That the Scrap
ping of Ships Would Be a
Greater Sacrifice to Her
Than to the United States
for it Would Take Her Long,
er to Replace Her Ships.

Toxic, Nov. 1S.-With the fadine
OF the first enthusiasm over the anti
cipated relief from the armament bur-
den spirit of caution has DEVELOPED
in Japan with the inclination to look
to the United States for Iroper ex-
presslo:s favoring more equal bal
ance of power has come note in
the public expressions concerning the
schedule with the probable disturb
ance of labor conditions as a second
ary consideration.
ne sacrifice of war ships arpIegat-
lag 100000 tons by Japan would be
equal to the scrapping of 100000
tens by United States Japanese an
alyslsts declare on the Bound that
IN an emergency the United States
could replace her lost tonnage within
a third or even fifth of the time re-
qulred by Japan. The experts believe
a fair estimate of strength cannot
be reached on a tonnage basis alone.
1t is pointed out the American pro-
posals would leave the United States
five capital ships constructed between
1914 and 1916 while with the ex-
ception of the Nagato Japan's would
al lbe of the period prido to 1913.
1t is admitted the Japanese navy
would be superior to the American in
speed through elimination of cruisers
but experts declare in all else the
plan would favor the United States.

BILL PASSES HOUSE;
DEBATE is FEATURE

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The Shep-
pard bills, providing for cooperation
between the federal government and
the states in protection of maternity
and infancy" was passed Friday by
the senate and sent to the house.
The vote was So to seven after
sharp clashes between advocates and
opponents. Supporters of the bill de-
clared the legislation was great hui
manitarian step, denying that it con-
templated interference in the home;
antagonists asserted it was "socialis-
tic, paternalistic and Bolshevistic."
Borah in Opposition
Three Republicans, Borah of Idaho,
Moses of New Hampshire and Warren
of Wyoming. were joined by four Dem
ocrats, Broussard of Louisiana, King
of Utah, Red of Missouri. and Watson
of Georgia, in opposing the bills
passage.
An effort by Senator Moses to trans
fer administration from the federal
children's bureau to the public health
service was defeated, 81 to 9.
The bill carries initial appropria-
tons or $1,480,0 600, which the states
would be required to match An
amendment by Senator Reed to cut
$500, 600 from the federal fund was re-
jected, SO to 6.
Reed is Sarcastic
Senator Reed declared that spins
tiers" of the children's bureau would
dictate" to American mothers and
offered an amendment to change the
title to "a bill to organize board OF
spinsters to teach mothers how to
raise babies" The amendment was re
Jected. amid broad smiles, without a
roll call.
Senator Kenyon, Republican, Iowa
in charge of the bill, deplored sarcas
tic references to "spinster" manage
ment, while Senator Sheppard, Demo
| crat, Texas, author of the measure
declared there would be no compul
sion in the activities of federal agents
and no invasion of the homes"

has had results extremely favorable to
Harding and the administration. The
impression that Hughess personality
has made on Washington, couples with
the success of his management OF our
foreign relations, has been probably
the most conspicuous single element,
outside of Harding himself in the ad-
ministration growth in favor.
And while Hoover, by reason of the
different nature of his office. has come
less prominently into the public eye
than Hughes, Washington knows what
source of power to the administra-
ton he has been.
Position Develops Man
But Harding's position today is
chiefly the fruit of his own growth
and the reaction of his conscience to
new responsibilities One day last
February in a little speech to local
fraternal order at St Augustine,
Harding said he did not believe much
in any theory of personal greatness
and expressed the idea that these
theories usually arise after the event
and spring from the simple phenom
enen of an average man rising to
great responsibilities.
Many of those who heard him fell
taht Harding was presenting his own
idea of his personal case.
Up to year ago most of the poll
ticians, most of the senators who saw
him daily, and most of Washington
thought of Harding as man who hao
brought his Marion newspaper to
point where it proved him with com
petence, and whose chief inclination
was to round out his career in the
dignity and comparative ease of his
| senatorship, in which his ambition
was merely to live up to his duties
avoiding rather than seeking the
greater responsibilities of leadership
| But Harding today is man who
/ has sacrificed practically all the ease
and diversion in which he might ever
yet indulge if that were his greater
F, inclination. Washington has never
known more Woodworking public of
| fetal. Because he works with less ex
citement than men more Temperament
| tai. the steadiness of Harding's appll
cation is more apparent to those
whose duties cause them TO observe
| it closely.

CHANGE OF HEART
NEEDED BY WORLDS
PEOPLES, SAYS BEEDE

Advocating change of heart in the
peoples of the world. B. Willis Beede,
educational secretary of the American
Friends Board of Foreign Missions,
opened the Young Friends conference
II Earlham Friday night. with an adj
dress at Chase stage.
Failure of all previous attempts at
lettering the world by change OF
heart of it's inhabitants" said Mr..
Beede, lis because the suggested rem
edies do not touch the inner life"
Then quoting the scriptures-"Thou
shalt love the Lord they God with all
thy heart, and with all they soul, and
with all they strength, and with ali
they mind, and they neighbor as thy
self" Mr.. Beede declared a new or
changed heart must come by a change
of emotions, will and purpose.
Mentions Riot.
In reciting events in the world that
proved the need of a change of heart,
Mr.. Beede mentioned the Tulsa. Okla
homa riot He said that the estimated
loss of property was $1,000 900, and
that there had been from 30 to 100
persons killed.
How shall we accomplish change
of hearth" questioned Mr.. Beede. Eve
must begin with ourselves, opening
our lives TO God, and searching our
selves for evidences of hatred, pride,
jealousy, ETC., and removing such
qualities.
Spiritual redemption can not be
accomplished without the extension OF
the sacrifice of Christ through His
disciples"
One of Mr.. Beede's illustrations OF
care needed in forming the lives OF
the young people, was drawn from an
excerpt from a letter sent out by the
employers association of Pittsburg
which discussed the raising of 100000
for the building of a Y. NJ. c. A. Il
read:
THE dangerous attitude of our re
ligious and quasi-religious institutions
is one of the most serious things we
have to face at the present time
Unless those of our members who arc
connected with the various churches
of the country protest in vigorous
fashion against the radicalism which
is creeping into our church bodies, the
result will be extremely grave"
A large number of Young Friends
were present Friday for the opening
of the conference. Others are COMING
in regularly Paul Furnace presided
at the meeting and introduced the
speaker. Vespers was held just pre-
ceding the address.
