Japan Feared
Parley on Far
East Questions
Apprehension of Isolation
Resulting From Decision
OH Issues Vital to En-
pire Was Felt Generally
Welcomed Arms Council
Leaders Foresaw Opportu-
nifty Of Pushing Cause of
Nippon as a World Power

TOXIC, July 25 BY The Associated
Press) (By MaiN.-Not since the
Russo-Japanese war has anything Gre
atcd such a ferment in Japan as Presi-
dent Harding's proposal to call a
conference of the interested powers to
discuss Far Eastern problems in con-
nection with the general question of
armament limitation.
Japan had been looking forward to
8 general discussion of political prob
lens with the United States and pos
sibly also with Great Britain, but,
coming Immediately after the failure
of British statesmen to agree on the
renewal of the Anglo-Japancse alli-
ance, the proposal to deliberate on Far
Eastern policies and problems by all
powers having an interest in the Far
East caused CONSERVATION.
The prevailing opinion was plainly
fear of such world congress. 1t was
according to. the general view, calcu-
lated to decide great issues vitality
concerning the future of Japan, and
these issues dealt with Asia, which
Japan tends to regard as being cher
own preserves" There was apprehen-
sion in some quarters of resulting
isolation
Danger of Anglo-Saxon Combination
There was dismay at the apparent
difficulties found in extending the
military pact with England. which has
ever been considered the pivot of Nip
pon's foreign diplomacy and which
gave to Japan international weight,
because it meant working alliance
with great Western empire. 1t was,
in the prevailing view, the ever present
evidence that Japan was now of the
great powers of the world and was the
effective bridge between the leading
power of the Orient and m mighty white
power of Europe.
Many men of Nippon therefore fore
saw danger of an Anglo-Saxon COM
bination acting to strangle Japan S
political development in Asia-a fet-
terlng of future Japanese activity on
the Oriental side Of the Pacific Ocean.
Japan therefore accepted gladly the
armament discussion because the main
tenance and increase of her navy and
army are crushing burden which
financially she knows she cannot stand
But she asked the United States to
define what political questions were to
be submitted to the Far Eastern CON
terence. Meantime, she made tentative
plans to draw up list of matters she
deemed vital for deiberation in con-
nection with her own interests and in
connection with the general aim of the
conference
Opportunity of Pushing Cause
Japanese of prominence, however. re-
jecting the fears Of many bureaucrats.

Drys Mobilize for
Renewed Assault
On Stanley Bill
Wheeler Declares Proposed
Measure Would Make Eff
fctive Enforcement of
Prohibition Impossible

From The Tribune Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28-With the
Congressional recess hardly begun. the
Antl-Saloon League reopened tonight
the fight over the Stanley amendment
to the anti-beer bill. which will con.
tinue in the Senate until that body
takes up its sessions again next month
The renewed attack of the league i.
based upon the old charge that the
whole search and-scizure issue which
grew out of the attempt to force the
is-Campbcll bill to enactment is
"a camoufagc by the vets"
Wayne B. Wheeler, the active gen.
eral counsel of the league, who con
tlnues as its representative before Con.
gress, is responsible for the statement
which is for the most part nea,
catechism.
"The supplemental enforcement bill
as introduced was designed to NEE,
the decision of former Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer and carry ont what wa:
the initial purpose of the original Vol
stead act" he said "Thc vets subt1,
introduced something to becloud III,
issue. They have sought to create tn,
impression that the proposed bill woult
confer new rights of search in viola
tion of the Fourth Amendment. This
is the usual camouhacc of thos.
who have consistently opposed tn.
Eighteenth Amendment in an effort te
mslead the public and friends of pro
hbition.
The Stanley amendment would pro
hlblt by heavy penalties all search O.

thing else without q search warrant.

THE Justice Department, through
Colonel Golf, has pointed out many
customs, internal revenue, postal, game
and food and drug laws that would be
jeopardizcd by it.

ting crime in the presence of the OIL.
Ger. This right has always been rec.
ognized under the English law. the
common law, and the statutes.
ut would prevent the right tc
search without warrant rum running
automobiles and similar conveyances
This means their protection. as it is
impossible to get warrant after a fast
running machine loaded with outlaw
is discovered.
1T would protect the moonshinc
still. because in many outlying dis
trlcts 1T would be impracticable TO re-
turn Tor warrant after the discovery
Of the still. The present revenue law
framed by the vets, never reuuired it
The words attempt to search with
out warrant would probably DO
hibit all rights of inspection and in

elnmcntal functions in innumcrable

STATE MOTION
PICTURE MEN
TO FIGHT CENSOR
Thirty-twO Exhibitors Or
ganize to Combat Bill
Now Before Legislature

War on the bill to create a state
censorship Of movinp pictures in Yer
mont was declared by 50 representa-
tive exhibitors OF pictures at meet
ing in Rutland. Organization was eff
fected to combat the measure with all
the strength of the industry. j. J.
Whalen, manager of the Strong thea
ter, Burlington, was elected chair
man and T. W. Mckay, manager of
the Strand and Grand thcatcrs in
Rutland was made secretary.
Following the meeting, Chairman
Whalen issued a statement saying:
"In many communities there are in
dividualS and groups of individuals
who desire to control and direct the
kin of films which may be shown for
reasons, which, while to them suffi-
ciont, are not founded on fact and are
urged because OF clear lack of
knowledge of the motion picture and
its most beneficial uses.
Censorship affects not only the
film industry but the rights of every
citizen. The harm that can be visited
upon investors and exhibitors in the
motion picture industry is chiefly one
Of dollars and cents but in the control
and direction of great medium for
public entertainment and education in
its widest and best sense, the censor
ship idea contains elements OF evil
which would undo the very fabric Of
our democracy.
"We are people governed in what
we see and do and hear by settled
laws-laws which state plainly and
with accuracy those things which are
prohibited If a man builds a house or
sells milk, writes book, produces u
play, publishes newspaper or makes a
speech. he knows exactly what he can
do under the standards Of established
law. Every situation, business and
phase of life must be regulated and
controlled by definite law. That law
emanates from our legislature and its
final construction is left to our courts
In no other way can personal liberty
and freedom of action be guaranteed.
"But now the champions of film
censorship argue that the motion pic
ture shold be governed by a new
method of law and board of censors
should have the absolute right to de-
termine what other millions shall
have the right to sec-and the iuGg-
ment Of such board shall be final.
"Such an arbitrary and unusual
form of drastic regulation savors of
the days OF the Spanish inquiston
and surely has no place in a modern
form of government.
"Thcre are now on the statute
books ample laws to cover the entire
situation and to prohibit the showing
of any picture which is harmful Or Of
an indecent nature. Why should the
motion picture because it is a success

guilty Of murder Of Asa Entrekin,
the railroad station agent at Emdeny
by the jury in the supreme court to-
day. The jury reported at 1915 a.
m., after being out an hour and three

stand testified that he at first had re-
fused to take part in the robbery,
and that there had been no talk of
clubbing him. The three were sem
fenced by Chief Justice Cornish to
life imprisonment at hard labor in
the state prison to which they vi |
be taken in few days.
