TOXIC, Aug. 29-Not since the Rus
so-Japanese war has anything ere
ated such a ferment in Japan as Presi-
dent Harding's proposal to call a con-
ference of the interested powers to
discuss Far Eastern problems in con-
nection with the general question of
armament limitation.
Japan had been looking forward to
general discussion of political prob.
lens with the United States and pos
sibly. also, with Great Britain, but,
coming Immediately after the failure
OF British statesmen to agree on the
renewal of the Anglo-Japanese al
lance, the proposal to deliberate on
Far Eastern policies and problems by
all powers having an interest in the
Far East caused CONSERVATION.
The prevailing opinion was plainly
fear of such world congress. II
was, according to the general view
calculated to decide great issues vital
ly concerning the future of Japan and
these issues dealt with Asia which
Japan tends to regard as being "hel

isolation.

ThSre was dismay at the apparent
difficulties found in extending thu

ever been considered the pivot of Nip

gave to Japan international weight
because it meant working alliance
with great western empire. 1t was
in the prevailing view, the ever pres
ent evidence that Japan was now o
the great powers of the world and wa.
the effective bridge between the lead

the far east entitled her to certain
rights. as she already possesses ad-
vantages, on account of nearneSs and
her close historical and racial associa-
tons with the rest of Asia. They be-
lieved that Japan would better her
lot, not make it worse.
Many newspapers drew attention to
the quick calling of the Far Eastern
conference after the deliberations of
the British Imperial Council and were
inclined to deduce that American op.
position was the cause of the failure to
reach definite decision on the renew
al of the English alliance. They
rejoiced at the calling of the armament
conference but they were plainly dis.
turbed about the general political
congress
Marquis Okuma, Japan's grand old
man. who expects to live until the age
OF 12o, who has always claimed to be
a liberal, and who was Prime Minister
when Japan presented the famous 81
demands on China in 1915, was moi
optimistic in his remarks. He predicted
danger for Japan and maintained that
if Japan's acquired rights and interests
in Asia were not respected and assured
then Japan should secede from the
conference.

with the Federal Government for Ok
lahoma's share of the Federal Aid
Road fund for the five year period
which ended June 30th. Oklahoma's
share of the huge fund was $780,
900. all of which has either been
spent or is under contract. according
to announcements from the highway
department.
While In Washington Mr.. Clark
also effected an agreement with the
federal agencies upon the specifica-
tiOns for bridge building in Oklaho-
ma. Heretofore no agreement upon
bridge specifications has existed be-
tween the State and Federal Depart
ments. and as a result many bridges
have been constructed in the State
without participation in the Federal
Aid fund.
THE new agreement simply means
that the State and Federal spectfica
tinns for bridge structures are the
same and in the future Federal ale
will apply on bridge building in thi'
state" said Mr.. Clark.
