WASHINGTON, Dec. Q (Assoclated
Press) The Japanese have attached
great Importance to the question of Pa
cific Notifications and naval posts of
the United states, far more than their
present condition warrants, in American
military opinion.
Casual Inquiries In military circles de-
velop strong impression that many
army and navy experts regard the de-
fences of Guam and Manila as of little
practical value. and SO fnr as facilities
for handling big ships go they do not
exist among American Pacific possess
sions.
Still the Pacific Qualifications have be-
come something of n political question
in Japan. There have been movements
there for an agreement with the United
states TO dismantle island forts. or. fall
ing that, for joint obligation not 70
increase existing fortifcations.
IL Is certain that the American con-
ference group will not agree TO any
scrapplng of Pacific Qualifications.
There Is no intention to surrender what
has been done. largely because there is

Federal and State authorities combined
to-day to stop violence In connection

Four mediators-two from the United

No legislation of any character affect

Many New York city members fought

CHICAGO, Dec. "a prediction state

President, but that it was very fair
view OF the Presidents Views on the
subject" The statement attributed to
President Harding follows;
I'm every community men and women
have had an opportunity to know now
what prohibition means. They know
that debts are more promptly paid,
that men lake homo the wages that
once were wasted in saloons, that fanli-
lies are better clothed and fed and
more money finds its way into savings
banks. The liquor traffic was destruc-
tive of much that was most precious in
American life.
In the face of so much evidence on
that point. what conscientious man
would want to let his own selfish de-
sires influence him to vote TO bring
it back? In another generation ] be-
lieve that liquor will have disappeared

JAPANESE ARE NOW
READY FOR NEW ERA
Col. Roosevelt's Prophecy Of
Pacific Progress Recalled
for Early VerificatiOn.
BY X. n. KAwAKAMI.

tSpeC1Gt correspondent 10 Re Jtt-
Shimpo, Tokio)
Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 0.
There is now little doubt that the
Foreign Office at Toxic. counselled by
the Advisory Council on Foreign AZ
fairs. has made up its mind to give up
the Anglo-Japanese alliance. 1t Is also
certain that this decision is predicated
upon naturalization Of an understand
ing or entente among America, Britain
and japan, possibly to be Joined by
France and Italy.
To-day optimism prevails at the head
quarters OF the Japanese delegation. in
dicating that 1t is satisfied with the de-
velopment of the situation both here and
at home. Incidentally it Is rumored
that the japanese delegates have made
reservations on the steamship that
leaves Seattle on December 30. The
general feeling among them is one OF
qualification and confidence. They are
especially pleased that the American
Government, as well as the American
public has been exceedingly generous
toward them.
When the invitation to the conference
reached Toxic there was feeling OF
uneasiness and suspicion among the
Japanese. They knew that the Sens te
at Washington and American public
sentiment as EXPIRE ssed in the press had
been decidedly hostile toward them.
Some Japanese went as far as to say
that America summoned Japan much as
judge would summon a defendant
Some newspapers saw in the proposed
conference the greatest crisis In Japan )
relations with America.
All this feeling of suspicion and I'm
easiness has evaporated in thin air.
AS far as the alliance with Britain
is concerned yapans attitude and the
latest development o: the conference are
exactly what / forecast a few days
before the opening o. the conference. In
arriving at the conclusion that the
termination of the Anglo-Japanese al
lance is the best thing for Japan the
leaders at Toxic have been unquestion-
ably moved by their knowledge OF the
antipathy ana suspicion prevailing in
America toward the alliance.
They realize that the Pacific era, as
prophesied by the late Col. Roosevelt, is
about to take the place of the Atlantic
era and that he greatest political and
economic factor in tins dawning era is
bound to be America. It is but natural
that they should be willing to go q
long way in meeting the American Gov
ernment and people. 1t is even expected
that Baron kato. the head OF the
Japanese delegation. will in some way
make this japanese attitude clear be
fore the close of tue conference. Just
how that will be done 1t is not possible
to ascertain at this moment.
point of importance with regard to
the new understanding is whether China
will be allowed to join IL. Dispatches
from Toxic report that some influential
newspapers in Japan are In favor oi
admitting China into the new group. II
the new understanding includes any pro-
vision concerning China the omission o.
that country from the new international
group would be humiliation to the
Government at Pekin.

London. Dec. 8.
The variance between the British
and French views on the reparations
question which developed last night
at the conference between Premier
Lloyd George and Louis Loucheur
French Minister of Reconstruction, at
the Prime Minister'S country home,
Chequers. has caused Mr. Lloyd George
to invite Premier BRAND to London
for a general survey OF the situation
The most pressing issue is the pay
ment of Germany's January install
mcnt OF 500,o0o,o0O marks gold. but
behind that is the plan for a mora
torium for Germany, which is favored
here. M. Loucheur has returned to
France bearing an invitation in which
Mr.. Lloyd George expresses the wish
that NJ. BRAND will be able to spend
the rext week end at Chequers, and
pointing out that in view of the Irish
situation the British Premier cannot
leave England now.
NJ. I4oucheur also is carrying a mes
sage expressing the British desire for
an early decision in the reparations
question and urging the necessity OF
avert;ng the impending crisis which
surely will follow Germany's inability,
and also urging that the French take
broader view OF the economic ques-
tions than Is laid down in the Wies-
baden agreement. which provides for
materials ani labor as reparations pay
ments.
Although the British Cabinet has not
reached a definite decision, 1t is in
clined to favor postponement of the
payments. The Cabinet members have
been influenced by strong representa-
tions from financiers that enforced
heavy payments would work an irrep-
arabic damage to Germany's finances
and credit, and that In the long run
England would get more out OF Ger.
many by allowing her o breathing
space.
NJ. Loucheur explained in some de-
tails the French Wow of Germany's
ability to pay. but British leaders feel
that it is financially and economically
impossible for Germany to meet her
obligations under the treaty.
see NJ. BRAND regarding the Near East
problems. 1t Is authoritativeiy stated
that further correspondence on the sub
iect Is deprecated here and that fur
ther reaffirmation of allied solidarity
IS urgently desired.
PARIS, Dec. Q (Associated Press) -
Louis Loucheur, Minister of Devastated
Regions, returned to Paris tonight and
said he was highly satisfied with his re-
coption in London. He declared that the
British Government never for moment
had considered plan of action inde-
pendent of the French Government. He
also said that in none of the conversa-
tions he had with the British Ministers
was the question of a moratorium for
Germany brought up.
NJ. I4oucheur expressed himself as con-
yinced that the mission to England of
Hugo SHINES, the German capitalist
had completely failed.

Negotiations over shantung.

Conference activities to-day related
chiefly to the efforts of the Japanese
and Chinese to smooth out their diff
ferences over Shantung. No conclu-
sions had been reached up TO tonight
and neither side would make predic-
tions as to the final outcome. Chinese
partisans who protested vehemently
against direct negotiations" over the
Shantung controversy have begun to
cool off and permit their representa-
tives to proceed with the "conversa-
tions" with the Japanese delegates
without interference.
Advices from China are that the
citizens are still excited about the af-
fair. A report that the Chinese dele
gates participating In the Shantung
conversations" had served notice on
their Japanese conferees that they
would retire unless an agreement is
reached within four days was denied
by the former.
The best information is. that there
have been one or two vigorous pass
ages between the rival groups and on
one occasion il looked "as If every
pean delegates are keeping close
eye on the negotiations and encourage
ing the Chinese and Japanese dispu-
tants 20 reach an agreement II pos
sible, so that the long drawn out con-
trovoiaies may be adjusted outside of
the conference.
II is believed from the progress
made that the matter will be settled
one way or the other early next week.
Adjustment OF 1t by the two interested
parties would save lot of time and
greatly relieve the American and for
eign delegates, who do not want to be
directly involved in the row, from
taking sides. If an agreement can BE-
reached the other Chinese problems

mittees viii be taken up the sooner

would certainly characterize the pub
