DICKSON GOES TO TROUBLED Mine AREA
JAPANESE VIEW
DISARM PARLEY
WITH ANXIETY
Fear Proposal to Dis
cuss Pacific and
Far East.

Toxic, Aug 17-tCorrespondence
of the Associated ss.)-"The
gravity" of the situation created by
the coming international confer
ence at Washington lies, not in the
disarmament suggestion, but in the
proposal for discussing all ques-
tions bearing on the Pacific and
the far east" says the Diplomatic
Review. which is supposed to be
imperialistic.
This magazine, which with its
numerous Japanese contemporaries,
is devoting much space to the
forthcoming Washington confer
ence, says:
"Bluntly speaking, the Anglo
Japanese alliance has fulfilled its
mission in its first stage. Now that
the League of Nations has been
formed and a treaty of general ar
bitration made among the princi-
pie powers of the world, there is
hardly any country against which
Britain and Japan are likely to be
called upon to act by the treaty.
Alliance Not Important
LAS regards the United States,
which is not a member of the
league, an understanding already
has been reached between Britain
and Japan previous to the forma-
ton of the league.
This being so, the formal renew
al, or non-renewal, of the alliance
is not a question of such urgency
as is supposed in some quarters. AS
to diplomatic relations, however, It
goes without saying that the tradi-
tions of the last 20 years should
be sincerely respected"
In sharp contrast to this passive
attitude on the subject of the Anglo
Japanese alliance is the magazines S
evident fear of the effect that the
Washington conference might have
on Japan's special interests in the
| Far East, for on this subject the
article says:
Disarmament O. h, But
Although we may for the time
being survey quietly the progress
of the alliance problem, the sug-
gestion for Disarmament newly
made by the American government
cannot be treated in the same way
In principle no state objects to dis
armament, for it is a principle re-
cognized by almost all the world
it being one of the fundamental
features of the League of Nations
But the gravity of the proposed dis
armament conference does not lie
so much in the suggestion of dis
armament as the proposal for dis
cussion of all questions bearing on
the Pacific and the Far East"

LATIN AMERICA
THREATENS TO
J LEAVE LEAGUE
Argentina Bids Good
by; Chile May Fol-
lou Suit.

Buenos Aires, Sept S.-Rejection
by the assembly of the League Of
Nations of amendments to the cove
enant of the league proposed by
Argentina may be followed by the
withdrawal of certain American re-
publics, it is learned here in reli-
able sources Belief is expressed
that Chile will be among them. Ar
gentina withdrew from the first as
sembly when her amendments were
not accepted.
Rejected Amendment Cause.
Reports from Geneva stating that
the committee on amendments had
rejected the one proposed by Ar
gentina, providing that all SOW
ereign states should be members of
the league unless they voluntarily
abstain from membership, were
commented upon by Foreign Min
lister Pueyrredon. last night. He
said this action by the committee
undoubtedly meant rejection of that
particular amendment by the as
sembly, and that such action would
esult in the permanent separation
of Argentina from the league.
The foreign minister declared the
action of the committee did not sur
prise him.
When the Argentine delegation
| withdrew from the assembly last
year" he continued, Il was sure
it was a goodbye for good. Rep
resentatives. of allied powers, how
ever, told me they would consider
my amendments at the next meet
/ ing of the assembly and, of course
we could not withdraw from the
| league until such consideration had
I been given. l knew the allies new
er would accept them, so since
then they have simply been wait
ing outside the door of the league
for formal action to be taken. Thai
action means the separation of Ar
/ gentina permanently from thf
! league"
Says League Is "Dead".
Senior Puyrredon declared tht
! league was dead, explaining be
! did not believe it could survive un-
I der the present undemocratic sys
I TEN of organization in which there
is an equality of duty, but not al
equality of power.
This distinction is not conducive
to harmony and cooperation among
the members he continued. The
possibility of a new world associa
ton of nations, growing out of th'
Washington conference for lIml
tation of armaments depends ol
the United States. That countr.
holds the key to the situation"

duced upon standing objects. Similar
effects have been noticed from other
earthquakes, but seldom to so striking

matter it is described how this earth-
quake twisted lofty monument at

more than sixty feet tall and twelve
feet square at the base. About sixty
feet of the top were broken off and
thrown to the south, and nine feet
more were thrown to the east. Then

Has LIob+ Of 500 Million Candies.

A one-half billion candlepower
searchlight, the most powerful in the
world, whose rays can be seen for 20
miles, has just been received at San
Francisco where it will be installed
on Mount Tamalpais, at the entrance
to the Golden Gate.
The light is ten feet high, weighs
nearly three tons and has 6O-inch
lens. A man standing ten miles from
the light could read newspaper. Ten
feet away he would be able to light a
cigar by means of it. A citizens
committee of San Francisco is arrang-
ing for the searchlight, which will
shoot it's rays out across the Pacific
ocean and give the first indication to
incoming steamships that land Is near.

a sentinel at the Golden Gate.
