 The impression prevails in Tokyo that Japan has actually inaugurated negotiations with the Chinese gov ernment, though for the moment there is a question as to the recogni- tion of that government. Meanwhile the leading Japanese newspapers in- sist that Japan will withdraw her troops from the Shantung railroad to Esing-Tau without awaiting China's acceptance of Japan's stand ing offer to open restoration negotia- tions.

CONGRESS WILL
 CLEAR PATH
For Tax Revision Fight-Econ- Omy Advocates Continue the Fight Against Big Appropria tiOn for Navy.

Washington, May 22.-A cleanup of pending important measures dur ing the next two weeks is the aim of Republican leaders in Congress to pave the way for consideration of the permanent tariff and tax revis- ion, two of the major subjects, for which the extra session was called The permanent tariff bill is expected to be reported by the House ways and means committee early next month.
 Predominant among the measures scheduled for completion in the next fortnight are the Knox peace resolu- tion, the temporary tariff, the army and navy appropriation bills, the. Good Mccormick bill for federal budget system, and the deficiency ap- propriation measure.
 The peace resolution is to be taken up by the House foreign affairs conf- mittee early this week. House leaders are leaning toward amendment of the Senate measure by declaring merely state of peace instead of repeating 1 the German and Austrian war declar- ations. Negotiations with Senate leaders are scheduled this week pre- liminary to committee and House ac- tion.
 The conference report on the teru- porary tariff bill is to be taken up by the House tomorrow, with it's adoption foregone conclusion. Pres ident Harding is expected to act or the measure before the weekend. The report was adopted last Friday by the Senate.
 zDisposal of the three remaining ap- propriation bills largely rests with the Senate. The House is expected to pass the S100,000,O00 deficiency hilk tomorrow of the $495, ,999 naval budget, with the principal controver- sies remaining over the proposed na- val base at Alameda, Cal, and com mittee proposals to increase the navy personnel by 10000 over the 100000 men authorized by the House.
 Economy advocates will continue their attacks on the naval bill to- morrow, with an extended address planned by Senator LaFollette, on "big interests" in armament. The Senate also has to act formally on the Borah amendment for a disarma- ment conference, but its adoption was virtually assured last week when ad- ministration leaders came to its sup port.

OUTSIDE INSURANCE TAX
 STATUTE TO BE TESTED
Special to The News.


 Little Rock, May 21.-The validity of the statute requiring those who place insurance in unauthorized com panies, outside the state, to pay tax of 5%o, is to be tested by the supreme court. An appeal was filed yesterday by the St. Louis Cotton Compress Company The Insurance Commis- sioner had sued for a total of $3,724, the amount of the gross tax for which it was given judgment in Pulaski circuit court April 13. At first the lower court held the statute void, but this was reversed by the supreme court and ordered to a retrial when judgment was given. The defendant asked for the following instruction, which the lower court refused: "The statute on which this suit is based is void, because 1t is extra territorial in it's operation and attempts to control the action of parties beyond the bor- ders of the state of Arkansas and undertakes to deprive the defendant of the freedom of contract in other states guaranteed to it by the consti- tuition of the United States, and undertakes to deprive the defendant of it's property without due process of law, in violation of the 14th Amendment of said constitution"

This, he declared, meant that there would be mo change in Japan's fun damental policy" in the far east.
 The government has decidedn ot to publish any of the conclusions reach ed by the conference for the present but it was declared that the results had been so gratifying that similar gatherings may be held annually to secure coordination between the va rious branches of government at home and in other parts of the far east. The conferees included high Japanese military and civil authori- ties from Siberia, Manchuria, Korea and Kwang- -Tung and was presided over by Premier Hara. The sessions were private.
 While officials generally declined to say whether Japan would take any new positive steps in Siberia and Shantung, declaring that this de- pended entirely on circumstances, they voiced the hope that China was willing to discuss arrangements for restoration of the province. In re- gard to the conditions surroundino such restoration, they emphasized
