paratively small payments fer Bsst

declared.
ATTACKS GRANT TO sAPAN.
A bitter attack upon the provisions
of the peace treaty awarding islands
Of the Pacific to japan, was madeNby
the Missouri Senator. y
| "It was never for q minute sup
posed that Japan would be allotted
any OF the islands in the Pacific"
Senator Spencer said, "bscAnse she
\ had received her share In 6hantung,
(which seemed to be ample in view Of
her Insignificant participation in the
war.
| "The United States had holdings In
the Samoan Islands, and we might
expect England to turn over Ger
| many's interest in those islands to
America, or at least divide, but not
so. The islands north of the equator
/ lie In a string in the path between
Hawaii and the Philippines, and 1t
was thought that those islands would
be conceded to the United States, but
to Japan. whose financial participa-
tion in the world war turns out to
be thirty million against our thirty
| billion, or about one-tenth OF 1 per
cent of the participation OF the Uni
/ ted States"
The United STATE. invested $780,
| 0O0. 900 more in the war than any

Administration.

The Miami-Barbadoes cable con-
troversy, which brought the United
States Navy Department into gun
powder action late yesterday, will en-
gage the attention of Secretary of
State Hughes as soon as he reaches
his desk tomorrow. 1t is possible that
Hughes will carry the controversy to
the White House for guidance.
The navy got into action when the
Western Union cable ship Robert c.
Lowery attempted to land the cable
at Miami. This landing ives forbid
den months ago by the State Depart
mert. To enforce the prohibition. the
Sta,e Department got the Navy De-
partment to station a sub chaser at
the buoy off Miami. where the cable
end was anchored. The sub chaser,
No. 154, on duty yesterday, fired a
shot across the bows OF the Lowery
when that ship attempted to violate
the long-standiIg order not to land
the cable.

u. S. Aims to Take Lead in Set.
Ting Issue Between Two
Latin Republics.
EUROPE MUST "KEEP OUT"

An armistice between Panama and
Costa Rica should be the first direct
result of the ultimatum dispatched
to the Central American republics by
Secretary Of State Hughes, officials
hers believe.
If . truce is arranged and the
fighting stopped, the State Depart
ment then will be in a position to
suggest remedies for the permanent
settlement of the dispute which
brought the forces Of the two re-
publics into collision.
FOLLOWS WHITES FINDINGS.
Secretary Hughes Is expected to
suggest the permanent settlement of
the dispute on the basis of the find
ings OF Chief Justice White Of the
Supreme Court. who. in 1914, review
cd the differences Of the two coun-
tries over the province Of Coto.
Arrival Of United States naval ves-
sells on the scene carly this week 10
expected to have a peaceful effect on
the situation. The American ships,
ordered to Panama late last week. are
steaming south under full speed. and
arc scheduled to arrive this week.
Secretary of the Navy Denby. today
was keeping in touch with the posi-
tion Of the ships by wireless and
keeping the State Department In
formed.
Although the Panama Costa Rica
quarrel was put up to President Hard
ing, officials here regard 1t seriously
only in one respect This accounts
for the promptness with which the
new Administration acted In the mat
ter. The outbreak is regarded as I'M
portant mainly because Of its relation
to the Monroe Doctrine.
SHARP NOTICE TO LEAGUE.
President Harding, in taking = nrm
stand n the matter through the ulti-
matUm disp atched BY Secretary
Hughes, virtually served notice ON
Europe that the Monroe Doctrine Still

should indicate to Europe that the
League Of Nstions must keep out Of
S0uth America.
The action of the United States In
the matter is based upon the agree
ment reached between the United
States and Panama at the time the
canal was built, in which this Govern
ment undertook the protection of the
Canal Zone. The State Department
takes the position that the warfare

snnulation Of the scheme Of the
League Of Nations in the French
press comment on the inaugural i'd

ANDRE TARDIEU's VIEW.
Andre Tardieu, in LIiiustration.
says:
"The future of Europe lies in Presi-

the new American Government will
repair tho errors of it's predecessors
by ratifying the Versailles treaty,
thus throwing her moral and physical
force in favor Of the allies against q
recalcitrant Germany"
Jcauvre says:
1.-THE most curious part of the
speech was the allusion of what
America would do in the case of war.
This closely resembles a challenge to
certain power who will remain un-
named"

Maurice Geneste, editor of L'Avenir:

INTERNAL REVENUE

Ira Ellsworth Robertson. of Graf
ton. Va. probably will be the next
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue.
Judge Robertson formerly was chief
Justice of the supreme court of West
Virginia, and was on the bench of
that court for ten years.
In 1915 he was the Republican
candidate for governor Of the State
and lost only by n small majority. He
has taken foremost rank In the Amer
lean Bar Association, and In chairman
of the section on criminal law. His
reputation as q lawyer has spread
outside Of his native State, and he
has been called to lecture before some
Of the largest law schools OF the
country. 2
! He Is one OF the many West ,vir-
EIkins saw qualities that did not
exist in other young men, and
sponsored him in every way he
could.
Judge Robertson Is in Washington
but probably will leave today. He ex.
pressed surprise when told by Times
reporter that he would be named as
internal revenue commissioner, As he
has not been a candidate for the
place, and only came here to meet
some Of his political friends from
other cities who had gathered here
for the Inauguration.
Friends Of Judge Robertson say
that he would prefer an appointment
to the bench. but that as q matter OF
service to the country he would ac-
cept the Commissionership of Internal
Revenue il 1t should be rendered ia
him. They say that he 10 well quail
fed for the place and that the position
is one worthy Of his attainments.

CONGRESS IGNORES INFORMATION.

We have Federal Trade Commission which is doing
excellent work, but the information which it furnishes is
not being utilized by Congress. The States should have
with powers adequate for the protection of the
public from profteers in the State and each city should
have municipal trade commission for the protection of its
citizens from local profteers but much of the big proeer
ing nationwide in extent and be dealt with only by
the Federal Government.
President Harding will not be in office long before he
and his Attorney General will realize the seriousness of the
problem presented by the proiteer.
