BUT OMITS MENTION OF
PROBLEM OF PACIFIC.
WHAT NATIONS
SPEND ON WAR

Washington, July 4.-United
Press. More than ten billion
dollars a year is now being
spent for war purposes by ma
tions invited to the disarma-
ment conference called by Pres
ident Harding, it was shown to-
day in official budget state
ments filed with the federal re-
serve board here.
England, France, Italy, the
United States and Japan now
are spending each year for past
wars and preparation for future
wars more money than is dis
bursed for any other single
purpose.
England's war charge is ap-
proximately so per cent of her
total revenues while France is
plunging at the rate of 80 per
cent. Seventy-five cents out of
each dollar collected by the
United States government goes
for the maintenance of the
army, navy. interest on the war
debt and to support railroads
and ships under obligations ac-
quired as result of the great
war. Italy is spending approx
imately so per cent for war pur-
poses and Japan more than so
per cent.

Washington Officials Per-
plexed at Japanese
Attitude.

Washington, July II. - Omitted
Press. .l-The state department to-,
day was notified of Japan's accept.
ance of the invitation to a disarma-
ment conference.
The Japanese communication.
however, omitted any reference to a
discussion of problems in the Pa
cific which also was included in the
tentative invitation sent out last.
Saturday.
1t was stated on high authority
that Japan's failure to include the
Pacific questions in her acceptance
was not necessarily as an express
sion of disapproval of the American
proposal.
Pacific Question Vital.
It was AIDED, however, that the
Japanese government would have TO I
agree beforehand to include Pacific
problems because any practical re-
suit of disarmament would have TO
be based on an amicable settlement
in the peace.
Officials were plainly perplexed
by the Japanese answer and it was
assumed that no formal invitation
would be issued naming a date for
the conference until the Japan at
titude is cleared up.
| The possibility of Japan making
some such answer had been fore
seen and discussed here but it was
believed that she would finally ac-
lcept unreservedly.
j China VIII JOiU-
Formal notification that China
would participate in the conference
also was received today. All the
live nations which resolved the
American invitation to a conference
have replied with an unconditional
affirmative except Japan.
China's notification of her willing
! ness to participate in the confer
ence included d statement that she
would welcome discussions OF the
far eastern problems.
Belgium Can Come In.
The United States will offer no
objection to the participation OF
Belgium and The Netherlands in
discussions of problems touching
the Pacific, it was said. 1t is rec
ognized that these two countries
have a stake in the east, and the
conference is intended to be full
expression of the views of the in
terested nations in definitely set
tling the Pacific question.
| No normal request was made by
thse two countries to come into the
conference, however.

Galveston, Texas, July 14.-Unit-
ed Press. President Obregon to-
day rescinded the export tax on
crude oil, according to dispatches
from Mexico City.
After an all-night conference with
a committee from the Mexican con-

done, dispatches said, after Obregon
had received semi-of1cial assur-
ances that the United States would
not impose an import tax on oil.
Obregon urged immediate re-
sumption of work in all the OIL
fields to relieve unemployment and
invited foreign oil companies Of

work out a plan to stimulate pro-
duction.
