JAPANESE LIBERAL
IN YAP CONCESSION
BY j. W. T. MASON

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 13.-
The zap agreement is another vic
tory for American diplomacy, and
at the same time is evidence Of the
desire Of Japan to make concessions
for preserving international good
will in the Pacific.
The japanese government not only
has played fair with the United
States, but has been generous in it's
acceptance of changed conditions
since the Paris peace conference.
Japan even has consented to making
the prohibition amendment of the
American constitution applicable to
the nations of zap. Nothing could
show more good will on the part of
foreign nation than that acquies-
cence in Americas latest doctrine.
Japan's proprietary interest in
zap, under the mandate grant of the
allies. is not DISTURBED, officially, by
the new agreement. But, unofficial.
ly, Japan permits America to become
silent partner, without executive
rights, though with interests akin to
a shareholder. Japan's consent to
the clause formally granting to
@hA1ASI ACct q COpy VI lllS 1OhlO govern
ment's reports on zap is further rec
ognition Of Americas stockholder
status.
1t would have been easy for the
Japanese government to have raised
many perpleXing difficulties about
American concessions in zap. The
precedents Of old world diplomacy
would have sustained her in such q
course. But, from the beginning of
the negotiations, Ambassador Shide.
hara, on Japan's behalf, showed a
liberal spirit and this mood of frank

AUSTRAL|ALOSES
BY EASTERN TREATY
BY J. ". r. MASON

WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. 49,
The four-power treaty negotiated
at the disarmament conference does
not guarantee the preservation of
present boundaries in the Pacific. 1t
recognizes the existing ownerships
Of the Pacific islands, but provides
wor no action whatever if the islands
. change hands violently or other.
wise.
This fact c.fferentiates the treaty
from the famous Article x Of the
League of Nations covenant. Bound
airy disputes in the Pacific will not
be call to arms. The four sigma
tories to the Pacific treaty agree 10
meet to discuss any threats Of dis
turbing the status quo, but the
treaty pledges nobody in advance to
any kind of action.
Since the beginning of the Amer1-
can movement for the abandonment
of the Angio-Japanese alliance, Aus
tralia has insisted uron the alliance
being continued unless America
should promise by treaty to pre-
serve Australia as a white mans
country. The Australians wanted
either protection by the japanese,
or against them.
But, the four-power alliance docs
not grant the Australian demands.
The Australians would have had
their way if the treaty had guaran-
teed, instead of simply recognizing,
the island boundaries. AS the treaty
stands, Australia is without any
formal protection except that of the
distant British fleet.
The United States has thus given
nothing binding in exchange for the
abrogation Of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty. The Australians may con-
slider themselves the losers, but, in
fact, they gain. Had the Anglo-Japa-
nese treaty continued, the Pacific
would have become involved in bal
ance Of power rivalries, leading to
war. There is now a promise OF
peace for all in the Pacific through
open diplomacy. Australia, unpro-
tected and with a miniature popula-
ton. needs peace more than any
other Pacific power.

ADJUTANT GENERAL
REPORTS ON EVADERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. t3.-Ener.
getic pursuit and punishment Of the
more than 100000 men who evaded
the draft during the World war Is
urgently recommended by Major
General Harris, adjutant general of
the army, in his report made public
today by the secretary of war. To
bring those guilty to trial, he recon.
mends that congress appropriate
S250,O00 to pay rewards of $50 for
each draft deserter delivered to the
military authorities.
at is imperative" he declares
that the government exhibit the
greatest possible energy in pursuing
these men and in Furnishing all who
are found guilty. If the government
permit these deserters to escape the
punishment provided for their Of
tense, consequences OF the graVest
import will certainly enSue.
IAN action of this sort would tend
to set a premium on evasion Of mil
itary service, with the inevitable re.
suit that, should another national
tive draft be put in operation, the
number of men attempting to evade
the performance Of military duty will
mount to figure SO large as to i'm
peril the nation through interior
ing very seriously with the rapid
building-up of an emergency army"
General Harris says the publica-
ton of the Stacker lists" by the
newspapers proved highly useful
for the purpose of Strengthening out
the records Of number of non-Wll-
full deserters whose names were In
cluded therein, despite all the care
and effort expended in an attempt to
include none but those of willful
deserters. He shows that less than
one-half of one per cent of the
names published have been found to
be those of non-willful deserters and
says these have been removd from
the lists.
General Harris report shows that
reported assertions from the regu-
lar army in the fiscal year ended
last June 80, totalled 1869, or 4.57
per cent, the largest percentage
since 1909, and nearly four times
as great as that in the preceding fis-
cal year. He says the marked in
crease probably can be accounted for
"by the fact that the vast majority
Of the deserters were new recruits,
who found the army discipline more
irksome than they had anticipated.
'"The number of the reported deser-
tons, he adds, Is in excess of the
number of the actual assertions, as
many of the men will be returned to
military control and acquitted of the
charge of desertion, while others will
be convicted of the lesser offense

So far the measures all give to the county the funds raised therein. though a hard fight is expected later to retain the automobile tax as an entirety to insure a continuation of federal aid. About the only business not so far effected is the motion pie ture industries and if corridor gossip IS worthy of belief, efforts will be made at both regulation and taxat of this industry.
