the Interpretation Of President Harding
is declared by the delegates to be en-
raced beyond dispute by the words Gin
sula- dominions."
When the treaty comes before the
Senate Senator's Lodge and Underwood,
as members OF the delegation. are plan
ing TO explain the circumstances IN
which the term "insular dominions' was
selected and the understanding reached
by all the plenipotentiaries as to It's
meaning. 1t is said they are prepared
to tell In detail of the part of the Amer
lean delegation In urging that the word
"dominions" be Included. so that the
treaty would apply definitely, not only
to Hawaii Australia and New Zealand,
but to the Japanese homeland" as well.
In the original draft of the treaty

to "insular possessions" In the dis
cussion which brought about the change

ITALIAN DELEGATES
DEPRECATE ARlNING
But Insist on Naval Equality
With France.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. Fl Associated
Press) .--Deprecating any movement to
increase armaments either by land or
sea the Italian delegates 10 the arIna-
ment conference still hold to their orig
inal position that they must maintain an
equality with France In naval strength.
A spokesman to-day In discussing
Italy's desires in the matter Of reten-
ton of submarines said that as America
and France, and even Japan. seemed to
be inclined toward the use Of sub
marines. Italy would take the same
view. II was added, however. that she
would favor any measure that would
restrict the use of submarines 90 purely
defensive purposes.
"As humanity has not progressed to
the point where we can altogether es-
cape war" the spokesman said. so
every nation must provide for Us own
safety. We hope there never will he
another war: that just ended was 40
terrible that humanity is afraid even
TO think OF another war But so long
as we must provide for our safety, as do
other nations, Italy might regard the
submarine as necessary weapon"

BRITISH DELEGATION
WILL REMAIN LONGER
Cancels Reservations for Sail
ing on December 81.

WAsHrNGToY, Dec. 81 (Associated
Press) The British delegation has can
celed reservations ID made ON a steam
ship sailing from New York on De-
cember 81. It was stated that members
OF the delegation think there Is little
chance Of their being able to leave be-
fore the middle of January.
The British delegation was said to feel
that the action Of the Japanese delegates
in calling upon Toxic for further IN
structions in regard to Shantung would
involve considerable delay In the settle
ment Of that question, owing TO the slow
ness OF cable communication between
America and Japan at this time. In ad-
ditlon to Shantung, ii was expected
there will be n number OF fag ends re-
naming to be disposed of, which might
hold the conference in session until the
middle OF January.

BRITISH SEE NAVY RATIO
LOOPHOLE FORCHEATERS
Ships Could Be Built by PoU-
ers in Foreign Ports.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 (Associated
Press) Suggestion was made in Brit
jsh circles to-day that It might he neces-
sary for President Harding to call an
other conference to deal with that por-
ton of the agreement on naval ratio
which prohibits the further construction
OF warships.
The British view is that there is some
doubt whether the provision now is suf-
ficiently definite to prevent nationals Of
the Powers represented at the present
conference from constructing warships
in other countries not party 10 agree
monts.
The British declared that as an ex-
ample one great British shipbullding
concern has dockyards in Spain, another
in Norway and others We're in other
countries. Under liberal construction of
the ratio agreement there would be
nothing TO prevent the utilization of
these dockyards to build warships. It
was said. and the present conference
cannot prevent this in the absence of
delegates from all of the countries where
shipbuilding plants are.

They argue that there is nothing mys-
terious about the Chinese individually
or collectively, that the tradition has
been built up by Europeans and taken
up by Americans out OF sheer mental
laziness, unwillingness TO take the
trouble TO study an inferior" race.
They say earnestly that the Chinese
are actuated by the same desires. am
bitions, emotions. instincts and pa
triotic thought that move Western
peoples.
Throughout the comment of Orien-
tails here runs a plain thread of rather
wistful regret that the West did not
leave them alone to live and die in
their own way. 1t is perceptible
among the Japanese as well as among
the Chinese. You get the impression
often while talking to the former that
they would have been as we'll pleased
despite their present fame and power,
if old Commodore Perry had not in
troduced them at the muzzle of "A gun

would the Japanese people and the
world in general have been happier If

civilization had stayed away from

hermit heathens' we did not have
such luxurles as war. We did not
have 20 impoverish ourselves building
navies. We were at peace with our
neighbors. a happy, simple, unambi-
tous people. Then with Perry and
those that followed, came civilization.
The West praised us as we build big
army. When we killed and wounded
a million Chinese in 1895 we were
hailed as wonderful well on the way
toward civilization. Europe and Amer
lea were willing TO teach us the game
and sell us all the weapons we wanted.
FINALLY, We were recognized as
civilized, having beaten Russia. We
had found out how to play the game.
The trouble was that most of the
prizes of the game had been taken by
you western nations. Little loot was
left for the new conner in progressive
thought When we anchor our ships
off a rock sticking up in the Pacific
or tie up to q bunch of seaweed there
is a terrible shout Of dismay. Yet
these odds and ends are merely the
leavings after you have CLEANED. For
a long time we were praised as apt

abused and told we have gone too far
with the game that You yourselves
taught US. 1t might have been better
to have left us alone in our hermit

INCOME TAX TO GIVE WAY NOW
 TO POLL TAX
Proposal of Provincial Gov. ernment Would Collect
 from Every Employee.

VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. New income taxes of one per cent on all incomes and doing away with ex- emption of all incomes under cer- tain minimum, which are now being discussed by the Provincial Govern ment in connection with revision of the taxation act, will tap the income O, many persons who now escape paying anything to the Province, it was explained.
 At present, 1t has been pointed out to members, casual workers, some of them earning big money can go through the year without paying any income tax although they may earn between $2,000 and $3,O00
 Proposals being considered by the Government would make it compul- sory for employers to collect one per cent from the salaries of all em- ployees, just as deductions are now made for the Workmen's Compensa- tfon Board in the case of industries

 This would enable the Govern ment to tap the income of every em- ployee in the Province. it is ex- plained Many now escape as they wander from job to job and tho Government has no means of hold ing them to an income tax even il they earn over the exemption limit Under these latest proposals tht Government would get its money al the same time the employee gets hi: money.
 People who come in from outside the Province for casual work ant who do not pay anything, would have to contribute from their earn ings under this new scheme.
