Japanese in Brazil and other South
and Central American states, and
japanese statesmen have recently
urged the necessity of Japan's find
ing an outlet for its ever.increasing
population being admitted by all fac
tons in Japan.
No surprise was occasioued here by
reports from Tokyo that the japanese
nation Is divided on the question OF
the robable result of a conference on
Far Eastern questions. 'nhe militarist
section Of Japanese public opinion has
always stood out strongly for the doc.
trine of special sphere of influence"
opposed to the "open door" policy, and
in view of the strong stand taken by
Secretary Hughes In his last note to
China the militarists naturally look
somewhat askance at the prospect OF
discussing Far Eastern problems in u
conference where the influence of Sec
rotary Hughes is bound to be feM.
This Government Is relying, low
ever, upon the power of Liberal opin.
ion in Japan, which. according to best
information available here, has been
increasing In Japan by leaps and
bounds since the outbreak OF the world
war. That the Liberals will eventual.
ly succeed in bringing about an un'
qualified acceptance OF President
Harding's invitation Is not seriously
doubted here.

France Getting Ready
To Desert League of
Nations, Hint in Paris

lukeTnaIlOnal news SHrvsre.
PARIS, July 1S.-A sensational pre-
diction that President Hardings dis
armament conference in Washington
will fail was made here today by
Leon Jouhaux, French representa-
tive on the League of Nations dis.
armament commission.
II believe that the Washington
conference will fail because the
American Government is the only
enc that really and truly wishes to
disarm," said M. Jouhaux.
NJ. Jouhaux is one of the foremost
labor leaders in France. He reflects
the general pessimism among labor
ties over the success Of the dlsarm-
ament movement.
The League of Nations disarma.
ment commission, which Is now di.
vided into several subcommittee.
continues it's work at top speed
The commissioners are the ground
August, which, they believe, will
give material assistance to the Wash
ington conference.
The subcommittee will not report
until the committee makes It's re-
port to the League of Nations as
sembly in Geneva in September.
Widespread discussion was aroused
by a sensational attack against the
League of Nations printed by the
Temps, semi-official organ of the
French government. This article
gave rise to the query in some cir.
cles as to whether France is. prepar-
ing the way for withdrawal from tho
League.
The Temps protested against the
meeting of the disarmament commits
zion and characterized the League as
powerless, Intellectual and puerlle.
The editorial, which was generally
accepted as expressing French OF.
fetal views, caused a sensation in
diplomatic circles. Some diplomats
believed that France II preparing 10
leave the League at the earliest op-
portunity and join President Hard
ing's proposed association of nations.

SEVEN AND FIFTY-oNE HUN.
DREDTHS PER CENT.
Do you know OF any other business
institution in the country that made
such a net return during the last
year?
OF course. there's the Capital Trac'
ample. PRACTICALLY z " e r Y
BUSINESS OF EVERY CHARACTER
IN THE UNITED STATES HAS
OPERATED AT AN ACTUAL LOSS
SINCE LAST OCTOBER!
No Reason For Increase.
Holders of securities in public utili
ties, railroads, steel plants, cotton mills
and pretty much everything else know
this to their sorrow. The farmers
know It better than anybody else, for
nearly two million of them are bank
rupt.
Yet, during these hard times and
loss. here in the National Capital we
have an electric light company thai
made q net earning of 7.51 per cent.
And in the face of that. II Is pro
posed that electric light rates be IN
CREASED.
To the average mind there doesn''
seem to be any reason under the sur
why electric light rates should not
be REDUCED.
The world over. per cent Is con
sidsred decent return to a public
utility corporation. In times wher
most Of them are actually losing
money, 6 per cent is handsome
figure.
In the face Of such a condition. any
proposal to INCREASE that return
should fall on deaf ears. The only
proposal that should interest anybod,
under such conditions Is a propose
to REDUCE rates.
It must be startlingly apparent, ever
to the Washington Railway and Elec
trio Company. that no move to raise
light rates could hope to get by at thi'
time on the basis of what the LIGHT
company 10 entitled to earn. And this
may explain why the street car ques
ton is dragged into the case. Plausi
bility is given the request for higher
po<er rates by coupling with II the
need OF the street car company fcl
more revenue and the possibility oil
q reduction in street car fares.
The case is also bolstered UP by
the theory that, az long as the public

While consumers Of electricity DO
pay 0 cents now, ! n cents all they
pay Is impounded by the court, to be
handed back to them IL the sh cen,
rate Is finally approved.
1t is not made clear whether the
proposal for raising light rates would
turn this impounded fund over to the
company-about so 900 40. Captain
Oysters plan would not do so. II
would make the 10-cent rate effective
only when ordered by the Public
Utilities Commission. That the com.
panies would like to have the order

saying. although they would probably
