SMOKING HATREDS
FLARE ONCE MORE,
SIMONDS BELIEVES
Says Pessimism Over
Outcome of Conference
Gains With Rapidly.
BY FRANK H. SIMONDS.

Despite the fact that no one takes
very seriously the possibility of a
break between the United States
and Japan over the nav.J ratio
there is no mistaking the mounting
pessimism in most quarters over
the prospects OF the present confer.

the present and the future CT the
proceedings have for thAr. while
the British journalists pret,y gen.
orally bet.ay their coun:rys dis
appointment.
The cause of the pessimism and
disappointment is not hard to dis
cover. From the European point
of view the conference was looked
forward to as. a meeting which was
going in some way, not quite dis.
coverable IN advance, to make the
conditions of life and the circum-
stances Of national existerca ard
international relations on that con-
tinent more tolerable. And TODAY
the whole business is comprehended

observer, n the endeavors OF sorr e

of obsolete ships to be scrapped
and to pass some pious resolutions
regarding China, which cannot be
enforced and are not in tho leas,

Says Europe Disappsinted,
Europe feels two things oyits
manifestly: First. that a new effort
to interest the United STATS in its
situation has failed. not only as the

CUSTODIAN FOR
SEIZED WEALTH
Draft Dodger Demands
Return of Papers
Worth S750,000.

Two additional equity suits, for
the recovery Of property seized by
the alien property custodian during
the world war-makinG a total of
three suits involving $l,s66,350
since the signing of peace treaties
with Germany and Austria by Pres
ident Harding-were filed in the
District Supreme Court yesterday.
One suit, aggregating s75o,o0o,
was filed by Grover Cleveland
Bergdoli, convicted as a draft
dodger, who claims to be "a
temporary resident of Germany"
His action is brought through
power of attorney delegated to his
mother. Mrs. Emma Bergdoll, Of
Philadelphia, prior TO his departure
from this country.
Butler Co. Claims Fraud.
The other suit was filed by the
Butler Company, Inc. of New York,
for the recovery of s106, ,350,- an
amount alleged to have been Sc
cured frequently by the Felix School
Ter Paper Company of New York,
after the latter company had been
seized under the provisions of the
trading with the enemy act.
The BerEdoll case. according to
counsel. is based on the provision of
the trading with the enemy act.
which stipulates that an enemy,
other than those who are citizens
of Germany. Austria or Hungary or
other countries which were at war
with the United States, may sue to
recover seized property.
In the bill of equity, Bergdoll de-
scribes himself as an American citi-
zen, and informs the court that he
was born in Philadelphia, October
IS, 1898. and that he was declared
an enemy alien last May.
Demands Return of Papers.
The petition also demands the re-
turn of all papers which Mrs. Berg
doll, the mother. was forced to sur
render during last August, consist
ing of mortgages on PHILADELPHIA
and Chester properties, stocks and
bonds. and deeds to two farms and
house in Philadelphia.
In the case of the Butler Com
pany. ii is alleged that the sum
sought to be recovered had been
raid into the United States Treasury
as final liquidation dividend by
the Schoeller Company after its
assets were seized by the Alien
Property Custodian.
1t is then alleged that Ferdinand
Schurmann and Herman Lange, who
were in sole charge of the Schoeller
company, withdrew that sum from
tnelr company, and then ATTEMPTED,
TO make it appear that the sum had
been borrowed by the Butler Com
pany.
Seeks Refund Order.
Three men, alleged to have been
allied with Lange, were elected to
the board of directors, and through
their efforts the Butler Company
was forced to pay the sum to the
Schoeller Company. The Butler
company is now seeking an order
from the court directing the Treas
ury Department to refund this sum
on the ground that 1t was secured
through fraudulent means.

TOKYO PRESSLAYS
STRESS ON u. s. AS
HYPOTHETICAL FOE
japanese Papers Concern
ed Over Struggle for
20 Per Cent Ratio.

TOKYO, Nov. 2e.-Judging from
the tone OF Japanese newspapers a
serious dispute has arisen between
the United States and Japan re-
garding the Limitation Of arma-
ments, but the government seems
hopeful that a satisfactory adjust
ment may be reached. Some of the
present attitude seems due TO the
governments desire to save its face
since 1t seems impossible that Jap
an will obtain 20 per cent ratio,
although Admiral Sato's demand
for this strength is backed by the
cabinet and the diplomatic advisory
council.
See Z. =. as Possible Foe.
The newspapers are laying en-
phasis on Admiral Kato's reference
to the United States as a hypothet-
ical enemy in advancing the neces-
sity for a greater percentage. In
discussing this phase the Liberal
newspaper Yomiuri says:
'Japan's claims are based entire
ly on technical military considera-
tions while the United States has
considered the political and diplc-
matte aspects. This latter cousid-
Grafton. involving the keeping Of a
part OF the American fleet IN the
Atlantic, probably has impelled the
United States to set GO per cent.
IF Japan and America would
agree to dismantle the Pacific force
it would lessen the United States
power to conduct hostilities against
us, but in such an event il is neces-
sary to have an agreement preserv-
ing territorial integrity and to de-
eide whether the Anglo-Japanese
treaty is to continue"
Question of Mathematics.
The Jill remarks:
The situation is somewhat Sc
rious rs Mr.. Balfour has urged Jan
an to accept 60 per cent. We hold
that 20 per cent is a fair basis. II
America wishes to show a fair at
utude she must prove mathemati-
cally and strateGically why 60 per
cent is generous and 20 per cent cN-
cessive and she must make Japan
acquiesce therein. Americas re-
fusal TO accept revision is a viola
tion of the spirit of military

Report in Berlin.

BERLIN. Nov. 29-Hugo SHINES
visit to British industrial leaders is
being followed by a visit by DR..
Walther Rathenau, the past and
probably the coming minister of re-
construc tion and the president of
the German General Electric Com
pany, and DR.. Walter Simons, for
mer minister. Best-informed entente
diplomatic circles believe these
visits have in common the most inn
portant industrial projects.
While it is understood that every.
thing from international credits to
exploitation of Russia are subjects
before the British and German lead
ers, the main object of the visit OF
the German industrial magnates is
to arrange British German recon-
struction plan similar to that made
at the Rathenau-Loucheur wiesbaden
conference. These leaders also are
said to have in sight the compile
tion of the Berlin-Bagdad Railroad,
the reconstruction of the Mesopo-
tamian Railroad system, the recon
struction of the Rumanian railroads.
for which the British have con-
tracted. and other projects >of first
itltIHdlIOIiStl importance.
Simultaneous with the Rathenau-
Simons visit is the return of Lord
DAbernon, British ambassador to
Germany, and Sir John Bradbury.
British member of the reparations
commission, to London. This un-
official London conference follows
numerous private conferences for
British. and eventually Italian. deals
with Germany. whereby a part of
the reparations burdens will be
lifted through Germany being given
numerous orders for materials and
for work, replacing cash payments.
Inasmuch as the British cannot
use German coal and certain other
raw materials. British industrial
leaders are said to have prepa red
a memorandum proposing the par.
ticipation of British capital in Ger
man industries. German industrial
leaders and diplomats have frowned
at the scheme, believing that the
British are not sufficiently Informed
on German industries to participate e
and that such action would lead To
political complications.
The plan which DR.. Rathenau
and DR.. Simons will discuss at Lon
don include, besides the Berlin-Bag-
dad Railroad, of which, of course.
Berlin is no longer the northern
terminus, the completion Of the en-
tire Mesopotamian system, railroad
work in certain British possessions.

ing railroads and general construc-

MINE ACTIVE
IN SPITE OF LOW PRICE

With copper below IL cents, the
Kennecott Copper Co. holdings IN
Alaska are among the only copper
mines in the work able to pro-
duce copper at this price, says the
Alaska Dispatch, but the output
at kennecott is curtailed on account
of over-production, which has caused
many millions of dollars of copper to
go into storage, closing the big cop
per mines of Montana, Arizona,
Michigan and elsewhere.
1t it claimed the Kennecott can
market copper at profit over eight
cents owing 70 favorable mining
conditions, Notwithstanding the de-
posts are many miles from smelt-
er, and the output must be carried
over the Copper River & Northwest
ern railway, and then reshipped by
water 1900 miles to the Tacoma
smelter. The cost of production by
the Kennecott7 is said to be among
the lowest in the world.
