JAPAN SEEKS TO WIDEN
SCOPE OF THE AGENDA
Talk of American Disarma-

By the Associated Press.


TOXIC, Oct. s.-Japan probably will
accept the American agenda for the
., ,saalnst0a conference on limitation of
ornaments and Far Eastern questions.
ont may suggest additions to Il. accord
ing TO information in responsible circles
'aere. These additions would avoid con-
,rete questions, but would include gen
raj principles, such as equal oppor-
iunity throughout the entire Pacific. The
lsenda was discussed by the Cabinet to-
lay and viii be submitted to the Adj
visory Council on Monday.
Disarmament OF American territories
in the Pacific should be urged by Japan
at the Washington conference on lim!ta-
ton of armanlents and Far Eastern
questions" declared DR.. Saburo Yamad
dean OF the Imperial University of
Law. in an address before the National
Policy Association here last night.

FAILURE IMPERILS PEACE

LONDON, Oct. S.--Interest in the
Washington conference on Limitation of
armament and Far Eastern questions is
growing in London. as is evidenced by
the amount of newspaper space devoted
10 1t Editorial comment, which hitherto
has been sporadic and largely colprless,
was given precedence by several of this
norning's newspapers over other sub
jects before the British people.
The Daily Telegraph told British cleo
tors that the problem of the Pacific
touched their interests far more closely
domestic.
1T is q strange irony of fate" the
newspaper declared, that as soon as the
problem Of the Atlantic was solved as
far az Great Britain ana Germany We're
concerned an equally momentus problem
emerged from the Pacific. 1t may
threaten a world catastrophe If not
dealt with at Washington in a spirit
very different from that in which the
former was handled"
1t was maintained by the Morning
Post that the task of the conference was
not TO conclude an agreement to limit
or disband armies or navies.
Such arrangements" the newspaper
continued, have been made before and
have always ended in failure. The
meeting at Washington should be called
the Conference to Remove Ennity."
While deprecating the view that
failure of the conference would neces-
sarily mean war. the Daily Chronicle
contended such failure would increase
the difficulty of maintaining peace. 1t
argued Japan must be treated as a
friend and equal and that, although she
cannot be bullied, she may be per-
suaded The newspaper expressed re-
gret that denunciation of the Anglo
Japanese alliance had been suggested
80 prominently.
The Chronicle contended the basis Of
disarmament must be a political under
standing of which the two principal
heads were the integrity and independ-
ence of China and equality of COM
mercial opportunity.
The Socialist Herald appeared to be
thoroughly sceptical of the whole COM
ference. II published despatch from
it's diplomatic correspondent, who de-
clared It was useless to blink at the
fact that, so far as disarmament is
concerned. the conference will fail"
The correspondent added that failure
will have an ugly sequel, for 1t will be
seized upon by the preparedness party
in the United States as a reason for
n big naval programme, and then there
will be an armament race like that OF
from 1900 to 1914, which may result the
same way
The Nation, an advanced Liberal
weekly, sees ominous results should
the conference fail, saying that in such
case British relations with America,
which are good, but scarcely intimate"
will be made worse, and naval COM
petition that follows may resemble our
recent race with Germany in the pas
sions thus engendered and the disasters
.heralded." The newspaper demanded
'caifcelldtion OF Nthe eAriglo-Japanese
treaty, which, 1t said, served to cover
Japan's reckless career of expansion"
IF we are going to compensate Amer
lea in the Far East" it added, lit must
be upon n wholly new basis"

PEKIN, Oct. S.--The attitude of the
Japanese Legation here toward China's
reply to the proposals of the Japanese
Government concerning settlement of
the Shantung controversy. made public
last night, Is still undecided.
The pernacular press of Pekin, how
ever. unitedly Endorses the note, claim
ing that Japan must either accept 1t as
a basis for negotiations or, IL it is re-
jected, she must enable China freely to
submit the question to a peace confer
ence.
Negotiations between Japan and the
Far Eastern republic, whose capital Is
Chita. are progressing favorably, ac-
cording to the best information avail
able from Dairen.
Japan Is reported to be demanding.
with good chances OF success. large
economic concessions in the maritime
province as well as the right to pur-
chase the northern half Of the island
of Sakhalin. This portion of Sakhalin
not only contains a rich and extensive
its possession would make 1t possible to
dominate Nikolaievsk and the Ampy
River hinterland.
1t Is expected that japan will offer to
open trade relations with the Chita Gov
ernment and to extend partial recogni-
ton to the republic. Evacuation of
Siberia by Japan is thought likely to
precede or Immediately follow estab-
lishment of trade relations.
.Chita officials declare that the atti-
tude OF the British and American Gov
ernments toward the Far Eastern re-
public, especially the American Cow
ernment's unwilingncss to concede
Chita unofficial representation in the
Washington conference on Pacific prob
iems, has led them reluctantly to ne
gotiate with Japan, as economic re-
quirements necessitate. Chita, It ia
explained, would have preferred con-
nections with Powers more remotely
interested in Siberia than Japan.
Z IL Is believed in Chita that Japan
desires 20 conclude an agreement before
the Pacific conference so that her eco
aomie and military position in Sakhalin
may be consolidated.

COURT SUSTA|NS REVENUE AGENT IN
 INSURANCE: CASES
Companies Are Prohibited From Leaving Mississippi By lnjunction-Governor
 Takes Hand In Issue
By Associated Press

Jackson, Miss, January 12.--A tenn porary injunction, granted 10 days ago on petition of State Revenue Agent Stokes V. Robertson 10 prevent 160 fire insurance companies from with drawing from the state of Mississippi, was made permanent by Chancellor V. J. Stricker in Hinds county chan cery court.
 The chancellor overruled the con tention of the insurance companies that the revenue agent is without au- thority to resort to injunction and that his powers are purely statutory. The fact that the revenue agent has the power to sue in the name of the state, says Chancellor Stricker, entities him to use an injunction ancillary a write of garnshment subpoena duces tecum or other necessary processes and he cannot be regarded as litigant be- low the level of the common man.
 In a lengthy written opinion the chancellor holds that if the insurance companies should withdraw from the state as the result of conspiracy, then such action would be an end of the subject matter within the state, and a public calamity precipitated by a crime of the most reprehensible char acter."
 Correspondence between Governor Russell and a Vicksburg insurance agency, made public today, reveals the fact that the executive is taking active hand in the case. The governor says in his communication to the Vicksburg concern that If the insurance compa- nies do withdraw from the state they are no better than outlaws and should be treated as such. The sooner we get rid of this kind of conspirators the bet ter The governor in his letter says further:

C., which is controlled outright by the interna tionai Association of Machinists, purchased these accounts and negotiated their settlement direct with the shipping board headquarters here.
 Assistance of the Washington bank to the Norfolk firms was conditioned frankly on their continuing operation as union shops it was admitted, as were other transactions through which the bank deposited with Norfolk insti- tutions sums equal to loans they had made to shops in the vicinity. These deposits would be allowed to remain only so long as the Virginia banks con- tinued to carry the paper of the plants with which the union was cooperating.
 Officials of the macninists' associa . ton said today they had received thousands of letters from labor organi- zations throughout the United States asking for details of the new plan and for advice as to it's adaptability tc To- cal conditions.
 Proponents of the Norfolk idea in- sist that it offers a legitimate econom- ical and expeditions way of obtaining relief at least in isolated cases. Whether it could be used by labor in disputes effecting larger areas and con- sequently in opposition to more strongly organized opposition, MT. Davison thought would have to wait further development.
 The union did not aim at worker ownership, he declared, but simply moved to prevent what it considered utilization of capital, produced by it's members against their own interest.

Washington January 12.--Five Wit 1 nesses testified before the Senate imml- grafton committee today that the United states was in no danger of a"ftood oi undesirable aliens and that no "emer- | eency" existed to justify the suspension of present laws and adoption of the Johnson bill prohibiting immigration TOT one year
 Four of the speakers were officials of transatlantic steamship companies, who said their information, based on an in- innate touch with European conditions, failed to indicate any great increase in numbers of Europeans desiring to emil grate to the United States, On the con- trary, they said there was already a dinlinution in the number of incoming passengers which was causing ships to sail with empty berths of the third class"
 They credited the decrease in arrivals to the fact that unemployment was
 known to exist in the United States ard in. migrants had refused to come unless employment was assured.

 Publication of the letter in, which the statement was made that Farrell, while the balloonsts were lost in the woods offered to commit suicide that his com panions might eat. led to the fight be- tween Hinton and Farrell upon their ar rival al Mattice

Cutie the contrary when I read my hus- bands remarks about Mir. Farrell at once declared as did some friends that read them. that Lieutenant Farrell was real hero.
