Warns Germany
English Speaking
Races May Rule
Bernstorf Fears Anglo
American Pact as Re-
suit of Arms ParIey.
Especial c.Sl. to The Washington Herald

Especial Gable to The Washington Herald.)
BERLIN. Oct. 3O.-count Bern
storff. the former German Ambassa-
dor to the United States, who is
becoming more and more the leader
of the democratic party. which he
represents in the reichstag, called
upon Germany to keep an eye on
Harding's disarmament
conference during a speech in the
present political campaign in Baden
The fact that the forthcoming
conference is to be held in Washing
ton instead of LONDON or Paris"
said Bernstorff, shows plainly the
shift in world power. Today Eng
land is forced to take up the arma-
ment race with America. An Anglo
Japanese agreement against Amer
lea is out of the question. Should
the outcome of the present situa-
ton be an Anglo-American agree
ment, as seems probable, then we
shall have world domination py
the English-speaki races for the
next thirty years.
TT. Is doubtful IL these two ma
tions will be willing to protect Ger
many from the French policy Of re-
preston, but any way Germany
must prepare its attitude toward
the coming world supremacy or the
English speakinE nations.
Americas interest in European
politics is small. but the American
interest in Europe's economic and
financial affairs is big. The eco
nomic interest is the main point ror
Germany and, therefore, we must
turn TO Russia and await the mo-
ment that this great country awak-
ems. In Russia we shall be able
to work together with America and
England"
In conclusion Bernstorff declared
that in all foreign araIrs the ma
tion's policy should be . German
policy and not a party one. He
added that the democratic party
considered that Chancellor wirth's
promises to pay the reparations as
cancelled by the League of Ma
tions through that body's action in
taking away Upper Silesia, thus
spelling Germany's taxation pro-
gram.

his audience to apply the pressure
Of public opinion to the coming arms

Now is the time to move for ac-
tion against the next war" said DR..
Randolph. I'VE stiH have In oui

wait they viii be forgotteu for those
who suffered will have passed away.
We have the power to make war
as never before. for we have the

JAPAN WANTS
COAL And IRON
MINES In CHINA
Abandons OverpopulatiOn
Plea as Necessity for
Expansion.

The first disclosure OF the policy
to be pursued by the Japanese
delegation at the conference on the
limitation of ornaments is that
Japan will not plead overpopula-
ton for expansion on the Asfatic
mainland.
The necessity of obtaining the
enlarged supply OF raw materials
and other resources that will en-
able Japan to become an industrial
nation will be put forward in ex-
planation of the extension of Japa-
nese power and interests in China
and of the measures adopted as the
means to the end.
In taking this stand the Japa-
nese have cut the ground from un-
der their American friends, who
have been contending for years
that Japan is crowded to the point
of suffocation, that Japan, there
fore, must be allowed to spread to
the mainland. and that the more of
an outlet Japan finds for her popu-
lation in China and Siberia, the less
will be the pressure of Japanese
emigration to America.
Few Japanese EmIRrate.
The trouble with this theory is
that ii failed TO stand up under
scrutiny of the facts. The density
OF population. ,it appears. is no
greater IN Japan than in England
and Belgium. With Southern Man
churfa and Corea under Japanese
control for nearly twenty years.
fewer than 500, 900 have emigrated
thereto.
True 1t is that the arabic land OF
Japan Is densely peopled. Surplus
population, however, is not at
tracted to the mainland, because
the Japanese are unable to compete
successfully with the Chinese and
Koreans. Hence Japan must find
some other solution o" the surpI Ls
population problem.
To transform Japan from
chiefly agricultural to a chiefly in
dustrial nation is thee solution to
which tine Tokyo government is
now addressing itself. But Japan
Is poor in the coal. iron and other
raw materials needed to build up
an industrial nation. China is rich
In such resources, and Japan turns
TO China for these necessities.
For Concessions and Central.
OF course it appears, from the
views Of the japanese, it is not
ledSIDle u OBTAIN Such materials in
ordinary course of trade Conces-
sions to develop mines must be
obtained and also political control
of such districts, for otherwise a
concession granted by one Chinese
government would be abrogated by
another, or local disturbances
would interfere with operations.
In obtaining political control OF
portions of China for the purpose
of protecting the development of
resources, Japan falls foul of the
numerous pledges to preserve the
territorial integrity of China which
she, like other powers, has given.
That will be the stumbling block,
to the Japanese aims in the confer
ence. In the 21 demands Japan was
found to have designed to make a
political dependency of China.
To what extent also Japanese
aims trench upon the open door
principle is another question that
will engage the attention of the
conference. Japanese operations In
Manchuria already have aroused
much complaint on this scorA

ESCAPES POLICE
DESPITE MANACLES
ON HANDS. AND LEG
Alleged Auto Thief f on
Way to Capital Leaps
From Car.

Handcuffed and a shackIe on hfs
leg, Norman d. Garrett, 81 Sears
old, Of New York City. said by police
to be the leader OF q gang Of auto
thieves operating In all parts Of
the country. made his escape while
being brought TO Washington by
leaping from a running automobile
along the Bladensburg road near
Muirkirk. Nd. early yesterday
morning.
Garrett was arrested on October

citing chase along Riverside drive
Last week II was decided to turn
him over to" the Washington au-
thorities. He is wanted here in
connection with the theft of seven
automobiles.
BeaPs From MOyinE Car.
The police car. bringing him to
this city, ran dry of gasoline near
the place OF his escape. A detective
was sent to nearby places for gas
Meanwhile the car was started by
the detectives in charge. But Gar
rett. kicking open the door. had
threwn himself from the moving
machine down into a ten foot ra-
vine. as II got under way.
Several shots were fired at him
by the remaining detectives, none,
however, is believed to have taken
effect. 1t is thought that Garrett.

entered a nearby corn field. made
his escape by lodging behind corn
shocks.
DodEes His Purzuers.
Headquarters police were notified
and all yesterday a vigorous search
Of the immediate surroundings
failed u uncover him. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the alleged
thief either crossed the road about
a mile up the line and boarded a
freight train headed for Baltimore
or that he was picked up by boot
leggers."
Garrett is said by police to be
wanted in practically all parts of
the country for alleged thefts or as
ISOLATION in the thefts OF automo-
biles. He was arrested some time
ago in Washington under the name
of Harry Moran, charged with steal
ing automobiles. Police say that
Garrett, as leader of the auto
thieves, undertook the selling Of the
stolen cars, receiving from $500 to
81, 900 for each car sold.
He was seen along Riverside
Drive, New York. in the afternoon
of October IS by Detectives John
Dineen and Christian wackerly, of
that city and a chase followed. With
bullets flying freely, the detectives
pursued the alleged thief for sew
eral blocks. When near One Hum

rett, in an effort to escape. threw
himself down a ten-foot embank-
ment. Bullets fired by police threw
dirt into the fugitive's face and
Temporarily blinded him. This re-
suited in his arrest

rett told police he had previously
escaped from the authorities Of that
city. He also confessed to getting
away from the police In Boston.

CHINESE TRADERS
URGE CONFERENCE
OPPOSE JAPANESE
Compradores Bring Pres

Their Companies.
Especial Gable to The Washington Hsr.ld.)

(SpechI Caole 70 The Warrington Herald.) }
TOKYO, Oct 3O.-It seems set
tied beyond a doubt now that the
entire Chinese problem will come
before the Washington conference.
in spite of subterranean efforts by
Interested powers to keep. the sub
ject out
Now that the delegation is on the
ground and the pot is beginning
to boil with the greater problems
that will consume the early days OF
the sessions, less and less is heard
of the many issues involving the
one great empire, for it is over
shadowed by the question of Shan
tung-annd this still is the main
worry in China. For the Chinese
see in any settlement of the Shan
tung issue direct with Japan the
impossibility of avoiding some of
the even more serious conditions
imposed in the 81 demands which,
under some cloak or other. surely
would have come before a meet
ing between the Chinese and the
Japanese.
Threaten to withhold Taxes.
Student bodies everywhere de-
any chance for direct negotiations,
while a largely attended meeting
of ShantTug business men held In
Tsinanfu resolved to refuse to pay
taxes If the government did not
heed the wishes of the Shantung
people and refuse negotiations.
Trade guilds in nearly every prov
ince wired protests to Peking, and
hnvnnff nf dc
on new life. And on top of it all
came the strike of the compradores
Now compradore may not be a.
term well known in the United
States. but as an individual he is
vital link in the relations between
the foreign business houses and the
Chinese traders. For the compra-
dore is the middleman. 1t is he
who guarantees the credit of the
Chinese merchant who buys a bill
of goods, and 1t is he who in many
cases guarantees to the Chinese
producer a market for his output.
Having commissions operating on
both ends of the deal, the compra-
dore is in a position to make much
money, and as he Is valuable to his
firm he Is something of an autocrat
The compradores have their guild,
just as nearly every other line of
activity in China has it's own. And
when the compradores went on rec
ord against negotiating with Japan
and insisted that the conference in
Washington support China things
began to pop.
Chen Kwang -Chao, chief manager
of the Tientsin branch of Ander-
sen, Meyer and Company. an Amer
ican firm, is the head of the move
ment. He circularized all the COM
pradore societies in the treaty
ports with the result that comprs-
dores demanded that their firms
telegraph that their government
must give China a square deal at
the conference or they would hand
in their designations en- bloc and
foreign trade could go hang.

BILL FOR BEING
GOVERNED GOES
TO PUBLIC SOON
Senate Chiefs Expect Tax
Measures Passage
This Week.

Half a dozen questions of major
Importance remain 10 pe acted upon
by the Senate before consideration
of the tax bill is finally completed
following:
Tax exemption for Americans en-
gagged in business in China and other
foreign countries and in the Phil
ippine Islands.
The Smoot plan for a per cen,
tax on sales by manufacturers ano
producers.
Retention or repeal of the corpor-
alton capital stock tax.
Modification of the proposed II
per cent nat tax on corporations
crease in the tax burdens OF those
with moderate earnings.
Application of the various pro-
posed excise taxes.
New proposals for the taxation
| of insurance companies.
Promise Passage This Week.
The Senate leaders give assurance
that this week positively will see
the passage of the bill. Its pas
assured.
The question of exemption from
taxation OF Americans engaged in
business in China ana IN American
possessions will be brought up in
the Senate today. Submission from
the Finance Committee Of new
proposal to take care of the situa-
tion in China and the Philippine
Islands without making the tax ex-
emption world wide, as was done in
the provisions applicable to foreign
traders and foreign trade corpora
tions which were eliminated ten
days ago, revived this controversy
at Saturdays session, but action
was deferred until today. 1t is the
understanding that, IL the pending
amendment is approved. an attempt
will be made to restore the general
provisions for tax exemption of for
eign traders and foreign trade cor
porations.
Don't Expect Majority.
While there have been no votes
as yet on the Smoot plan for a
3 per cent tax on sales by manu-
facturers and producers, tests of
strength during the week on related
questions have indicated about what
the lineup will be. A group of
influential Republican Senators will
support the Smoot amendment, but
no one has claimed that a majority
vote is in sight. Among those
who favor the sales tax in addition
to Senator Smoot are Senators Edge
and Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey;
Calder, of New York; Mclean, of
Connecticut; Moses, of New Hamp-
shire; Mckinley. of Illinois; New, or
Indiana, and Poindexter of WASH
ington.
Although the Senate approved the
Is per cent fiat tax on corporation
earnings last week the Republican
leaders are not satisfied with il
and some amendments will be con-
sidered with a view to overcoming
the injustice involving corporations
which have not been subject to the
excess profts tax In the past and
hence have paid only the present
nat tax Of 10 per cent.
