JAPAN HOLDS FAST
TO |TS21 DEMANDS

ley Touch Agreements
With China
CHINESE DELEGATION SAILS.
BY the Associated Press

fundamental policy at the Washington

special instructions to the japanese
delegates concerning the limitation Of
armaments. says the Nichi Nichi Shin
bun. 1t is indicated that the project
for the building Of eight battleships and
eight battle cruisers originated In the
idea that this. program was necessary
for the national defense, but that the
project has lost its original significance.
Newspapers here commend the ap-
pointment of Prince Iyesato Tokugawa
MS head Of the japanese delegation. OPP
position organs, however, turn q fire of
criticism upon Premier Hara, saying
he was "too cowardly to go to Wash
ington himself, and accept responsibility
for decisions taken there"

LUNcHEoNS INCREASE
INTEREST IN BOARD

Since the local Real Estate Board
adopted the policy of having semi.
monthly luncheons. according to Lee
d. Latimer. chairman Of the luncheon
committee, the interest in the boards
activities has increased among the
members. To date. the board held six
of these meetings which have been
attended by an average of sexenty-five
realtors.
In the past no meetings Of the board
have ever attracted such large attend
snce, and the executive committee
feels that the growing popularity Of
this form OF meeting will gradually
esult in the board using them for
some practical purpose in addition to
the mere social side.
Arrangements are now being made
for the next luncheon which will be
held at the Hotel Lafayette. Thursday.
September %. A Britton Browne has
been selected as the presiding officer
for this meeting. The principal fea,
ture will be an address by Major Carey

rangements for these luncheon meet
ings consists of Lee d. Latimer, chair

Organization Is Now Largely
Civic in Character-New
Duties Assumed.

The offices of the Washington Real
Estate Board. according to John A.
Petty. executive secretary, are gradu.
ally becoming known to the public.
Since the reorganization that took
place several months ago. the Real
Estate Board as now organized Is
largely civic in character. 1t has as
sumed new duties and responsibilities
that are Of special benefit to property
owners in particular. In line with the
progressive spirit of civic organiza>
tions, the board Is accumulating in
formation and data that is OF much
use in the work being conducted by It.
While very definite service Is being
rendered the realtors. 1t is probably
not known generally that the board Is
prepared and Is actually being Of as
sistance to the public. This fact Is
gradually being recognized. and re-
quests for assistance and information
from the public are increasing each
week The connections which the
board has with member boards stu
ated throughout the country has
proven to be most valuable in render
ing service. Frequent calls have been
made on the board for advice and as
sistance concerning matters connected
with real estate located in different
parts of the country. All of the mem
Der boards throughout the country
maintain organizations similar to the
local board, and 1t Is a simple matter,
through mutual cooperation, to get
detailed information and advice as to
the value or sale Of property.
Through this same cooperation. oit.

in Washington real estate are being
supplied with expert appraisals and
nut in touch with active local realtors.
who render service in connection with
sales, leasing or other matters per-
tanning to local property.
In some instances, individuals, who
are unfamiliar with practice In real
estate matters, have come to the board
for advice as to correct commission
charges and correct methods In nego::
tiating for the purchase or sale Of
properties. These, and all others that
