REACH AGREEMENT
ON COAST DISPUTE
AMERICAN AND JAPANESE AM
BAssADoRs CONCLUDE PLAN
TO SETTLE DIFFERENCES.
California Case and Definition OF
Nipponese Rights in United States
involved-Approval Must Be
Given by Two Nations.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. between
Ambassadors Morris and Shidehara
for the settlement of the California
question and the definition of the
rights Of japanese in the United
States have been successfully con-
cluded.
Approval of the conclusions of the
two ambassadors must be given by
their governments before any further
action looking to a settlement of the
controversy that has arisen owe the
California anti-alien land law can be
had. Baron Shidehara has submitted
his report to the foreign office at
Toxic and Mr.. Morris has his report
ready for consideration by fscretary
Colby.
Members of the senate foreign rela-
lions committee have been kept advis-
ed by Mr.. Morris of the various phases
of the negotiations, so that if h COM
mittee desired to consider in the re-
naming days of the present session
any draft treaty which President VIII
son might submit the way would be
cleared for prompt action.
Administration officials have had
no assurances that it is the purpose OF
the Republican leaders to endeavor to
tfispose of any American-JapaHese
treaty at present, but it is und rstood
that some representations have beer
made from Republican sources that 1t
might relieve the Harding administra-
tion of a considerable burden if such
a treaty could be concluded during
the present session.
These representations are said to
have been based upon the theory that
the so-called California question a
be considered by the senate and by the
house as well as a purely non-partisaR
question.

tons Referred to Committee.


Paris.=The question of German
Preparations is again in the hands of a
committee of experts. This commit
tee, appointed after a prolonged dis
cussion by the supreme council, is to
consider certain details and report to
the council before a final decision is
taken.
The discussion on PREPARATIONS was
taken up in an atmosphere made UNI
favorable by the radical position as
sumed by NJ. Doumer, French minister
of finance, who named PIP billion gold
marks as the total indemnity Ger
many should pay. NJ. Doumer's atti-
tude caused embarrassment when the
subject was resumed.
The British premier is understood to
have Indicated that the radical de-
mands made by NJ. Doumer were i'm
possible of realization.
The committee is composed of
Messrs. Loucheur and Doumer for
France, Baron D'Abernon and Sir
Laming neutrality-suspicious. for Great
Britain, Colonel Theunis for Belgium,

DISCUSS DISARMAMENT PLANS
Should Quit Building or Build More
Modern Navy, Says Borah.

Washington.-The United Z States
either should enter a naval holiday
agreement with Great Britain or ia
pan or it should make sure that 1t is
building a thoroughly efficient and
modern navy, Senator Borah of Idaho
declared in a speech in the senate
Thursday.
He told the senate that America
should proceed with great care in its
building program lest the 500, 10000
to be spent in sixteen new capital
ships be utterly wasted. He quoted
various British naval experts to the
effect that capital ships were virtually
obsolete and that submarine and air
supremacy were the chief essentials of
a modern navy. He stated that some
American naval officers shared this
opinion, but they did not feel like
precipitating a controversy by a re-
sumo Of their views.

More Widows Than wIdowers.

According to the United States CEN
sus Of 1920, there are In this country
MT this time 3,170.OO0 widows. and only
1,471, 300 widowers. This indicates
that the chances are, IN the average,
two to one that a man will pass away
before his wife. The main reason for
this condition of affairs is that the
wife Is generally several years young
er than the husband. and then, too.
at the ages above fifty the mortality
rate for men is much higher than for
women.-Bankers' Life Bulletin.
