Acceptance by Japan Makes
Way Clear for the Confer
ence in Washington
SILESIA CRISIS PASSING
France and Britain Reach Agreement
and Germany Is Warned-Hard-
ing's Pla for Financial Relief
OF Railroads, Farmers and
Cattle Raisers.
BY EDWARD w. PIckARp.

With a mind not yet quite at ease
in the matter, Japan has ser word
that she will accept President Hard
ing's Invitation TO the Washington
conference to discuss limitation of
ornaments and questions of the Pa
cific and the Far East. But this is ITO
be with certain reservations. These
are expressed in the closing part of
Tokyo's latest note to Washington,
which reads:
The Japanese government have
been made aware through the com
munications and the published state
ment of the American government and
the conversations between the secre-
tary of state II Baron Shidehara
that the proposition of the American
government to discuss the Pacific and
Far Eastern problems is based on the
close bearing they may ave on the
question of limitation of ornaments,
which is the original and principal aim
of the conference. and that. therefore,
the main object of discussing these
problems Is TO reach n common under
standing I'm regard to general princi-
piles and policies I'm the Pacific and Far
East.
in order to insure the success of
the conference. the Japanese govern
ment deem il advisable that the
agenda thereof should he arranged In
accordance with the main object of the
discussions 3s above defined. and that

should be scrupulously avoided"
OF course, among what japan con
siders accomplished facts ARE the
cession OF Shantung to Japan and the
Zap mandate. But our State depart
ment is confident the japanese can be
satisfied In the drawing up of the
heenda for the conference, and there
fore Is now preparing the formal In
vitations to the powers.
There Is a chance that some of the
British domlnions. which consider

come.

also warned the British that any hos

Premier Lloyd George, on his part,
consented TO a meeting of experts to
examine into the Silesian problem, and
also conciliated the French by giving
the German government a sharp re-
bun. When France was preparing to
send more troops to Silesia, she asked
the Germans to supply the transpor-

asking If the British Endorsed this

PARIS SHOW BANS
AMERICAN MAKERS
Rules Automatically Exclude U.
S. Cars From Equal Terms
With Other Countries.

Application blanks for the Paris
automobile show, recently received In
this country. bar American cars from
participation on the same terms as
other major countries.
The National Automobile Chamber
Of Commerce feels that this is a
step backward in international rela-
tfons, especially as the American
automobile industry has been petit
tioning Congress to reduce the pres
emit tariff on all imported cars from
~ to 20 per cent.
8. A. Miles, show manager for the
N. A. c. c.. Is now in Europe. and
will take UP the question of this
discrimination with the French auto
mobile authorities. The clause In the
application blanks referred TO which
strikes at American exhibitors with
out naming them. reads an follows:
Manufacturers belonging to allied
nations are admitted on the same
terms as French firms, provided they
have taken part in three previous
Paris shows, and on condition that
their pre-war import duties were not
more than Is per cent ad valorem."
Under such rule, American firms
do not have the same choice for space
a. British. Belgian and Italian manu-
facturers. because our pre-war duty
was the same as at present.
Ofhcials say that little objection
could be raised to q rule which -
Qufred all exhibitors to have taken
part In At least three previous shows.
although no such rule is enforced at
the American exhibitions to which
foreign cars have always been well
coined. The question has been rais~J
whether the matter of duty properly
comes under the show conditions
especially when such Limitation may
prevent . fair presentation Of Amcr.-
can products many of which have
been sold abroad for years.
