Britain for making possible. through
the mediation of Secretary Hughes and
Mr.. Balfour, discussion Of the Shan
tung issue.
Public Must BE Considered.
Frankly raising the point Of public
wonderment why Japan does not state
her position in broad terms. instead OF
being obliged to appear in the role of
defendant as each item Of the far east
ern question comes up in the confer
ence, I was told by Mr.. Yokota that the
same question was continually being
pressed by an influential body Of Japa-
1ese in attendance here. But the ex-
ponents of the historic Japanese policy
Of secrecy have thus far had their way.
He himself has vigorously dissented from
the course that is being followed, and
if he were to remain he would fight
still harder for a greater degree of
candor. He recognizes that the issues
are not only being considered and de-
cided in the official sessions, but also in
the minds of the people Of the world.
Japan has blundered in ignoring public
opinion. She has not laid her case be-
fore the world.
Furthermore. continued Mr.. Yokota.
now that he is returning to Japan
he means to put this matter before
the cabinet anu the elder statesmen.
that if possible, a new policy of
frankness may be adopted in Japan's
future relations with other nations.
He realizes that the old way tends
to suspicion and alienation. Incl
dentally, he paid tribute to the press;
of the world for the spirit of moder-
alton and consideration that it has
shown to the Japanese since this con-
ference opened.
Definite Program.
Japan has a policy, clear, full anu
definite. 1t was settled before the
delegation left home. The limits to
which Japan will go, and beyond
which she will not go. have been
clearly fixed. With all this definite
ness. though, there was not enough
preparation for the spirit Of the con-
ference. In general, his excellency
would only say that certain issues
affecting all powers alike are proper
for decision by the conference. but
relations of Japan and China, will
have to be settled by these two
nations alone
Touching upon the battleship is
sue, he remarked upon the difficulty
of controlling home sentiment. Where
people have served and suffered. to
secure money for the building Of a
great ship for the defense Of the
nation, 1t is hard to persuade them
to turn it into scrap iron. In America
it is different, for this nation Is so
rich that few batleships more or
less mean nothing.
That there is rising tide of
democracy in Japan and that in fu-
ture the relations Of the countries
depend most upon public sentiment,
with the peoples of each nation un-
derstanding the other, was the clos
ing observation of the interview,
aside from the gracious words to be
expected from a Japanese gentleman.

LARGE SHIP YARDS
MAY CLOSE down
Face Actual Liquidation Un.
less Congress Provides Pri-
vate Ship Subsidy.

Unless Congress at its next session
enacts legislation providing for a pri-
vate ship subsidy. the larger ship
building yards in this country will be
forced to liquidate and go out of busi-
ness If the ten-year naval holiday plan
being discussed by the arms confer
ence is finally adopted.
This Is the firm belief of some high
officials. who are advisers of the Pres
ident. According to them, it Is prob
able that the President will in His
message to Congress next Monday Set
forth his ideas for the apparent neces-
sity for greatly increasing the mer-
chant marine and the furnishing of
government aid to private industries
engaged in the building and operation
of ships. This subsidy. or aid, It is
pointed out. is especially essential ra.
garding the building Of more high
speed merchant boats to make it pos
sible for this country to compare in
any way favorably with the high
speed boats now carrying the hags of
Great Britain and Japan.
At the present time the high speed
boats. those of more than twelve
knots. flying the American flag are
estimated at at least SO per cent
lower than the number being oper-
ated by Great Britain.
1t is known that Chairman Lasker
of the United States Shipping Board
is of somewhat the same opinion as
these other government officials who
are urging the provision for a sub
sidy. and that he recently has gone
over the matter several times with
President Harding. Following a con-
ference with the President yesterday,
Mr.. Lasker said that he discussed this
matter with him and that he incl
dentally obtained the Presidents o. X.
on the prepared speech Mr. Lasker is
to make in Milwaukee very shortly,
in which he will comment upon the
have on the shipbuildfng industry in
America, and also the necessity for
the proposed subsidy and an increase
in the number Of high-speed mer-
chant boats

Unity Of Japanese women in the

Nine. Inouye said that it was natural

circumstances because of condi-
tons closely touching her nation
al integrity. Critics had said, the
premier declared, that France
sought military ascendancy in
Europe but he asserted the impu-
tation was cruel reproach espec-
tally coming after her record in
the war. He asserted that if
ever there was a country commit

he added since the war his countrv
had gone through many receptions
and had seen Germany refuse to
perform her obligations.
M. BRAND said his government

with Germany In Germany there
were numerous people VINO want
essentially peace based on demo-
cratic institutions and he said il
was that sort Of a Germany to
which the world must look for
hope. But, he added, how could
France ignore "the, other Germany
of the Hohenzollern. The old i'm
perial party. he declared, had tried
repeatedly to gain control. AS ar
example he read several message
from the memoirs of Ludendorff
regarding Germany's aspirations
for world conquest.
"Some people think that France
must have some hidden thought.
1t has been said that France want

of military supremacy. Probable
this is the most painful and cruel
thing a Frenchman could be told. y
"Not one word of it is true ex-

Speaking for Great Britain and
in reply to Premier BRAND, Arthur
James Balfour heading the British

France "in the face of the lust for
combination"
Senator Schanzer heading the
Italian delegation told the confer
