JAPANESE CABINET
HOLDST0 YAP POLICY
(By Associated Press,

TOXIC. April 20.-The cabinet yes
terday decided there was no reason to
alter Japan's policy on the Zap man
date question, because of the recent
American note on the subject accord
ing 10 the Nichi Nichi today. The
decision of the ministry will be re-
ported Friday a. an extraordinary
meeting of the diplomatic advisory
council the newspaper adds. The
foreign office said it could neither
confirm nor deny the foregoing re-
port.
Publication locally of the CORE
spondence on the question of man
dates has been followed by change
of tone in the Japanese newspapers,
which generally consider the Ameri-
can attitude unreasonable. The sum
mary of the comment is that the
United States claims the right to veto
over the decisions of the allies in con-
nection with the war with Germany
and that Japan cannot reply to such
a claim which must come before the
allied supreme council of which Japan
is a member. If the powers decided
to yield to American insistance on the
exclusion of zap from Japanese man,

doubtediy will be forced to bow to
such a decision.

NATIONAL WAGE POOL
AND BOARD Wanted,
SAYS ENGLISH PAPER
(By Associated PreSs)

LONDON, April 29.-Demands for
the establishment of national wage
board and 2. national wage pool have
been re-affirmed by large majorities by
district committee of miners through
out the country 1t isNciailned by the
Daily Herald, the organ of labor. The
newspaper claims that these meetings
which were held preparatory to the
conference of the miners federation OF
Great Britain here on Friday, stood
IA to in favor of the demands of the
union.
A statement was issued by the
miners federation last night declaring
that prime minister Lloyd Georges S
address in the house Of commons on
Monday did not carry the possibility
of settlement any further than it
stood late last week. The statement
declares Lloyd George has not vet
grasped the essential features of the
national wage pool. and that he is
"obs essed by the view that the miners
demand a pool OF profits, whereas
their proposal is remote from the
averaging of profits"
Levy on Coal.
II Is suggested Inat mere Snall ne
levied a certain amount on each ton
Of coal, this money being used for the
purpose Of establishing the wage pool
1t is proposed that the sum levied
should be figured as one of the ele-
nlents of the cost OF production. The
statement asserts that this method Of
providing funds for the pool is per
fectly feasible, but that the mine
owners have refused 10 accept it ION
inadequate and mistaken grounds"
British mine owners, who met in
this city yesterday announced last
night that the meeting had completed
proposals which would be submitted
in an effort to secure a settlement OF
the coal strike. These proposals, II
was declared, met many of the de.
mands Of the miners and would care
for men VINO we're inadequately paid
1t is improbable rhe mine owners
and coal diggers will meet before
Friday and in the mean time the coal
shortage is becoming acute in London
and other large cities in England.
