JiPS ROOT FOR
EXPENSE CUTTER
WATCHDOG OF JAPAN TREASURY
is VERY POPULAR WITH PEOPLE
OF FOREIGN NATION
Effort Now Being Made to Trim
Budget of Coming Years
Governmental Appro-
%priations

Tokio-The Japanese people are
roofing for the watchdog Of the treas
ury.'
They are pretty well fed up on high
costs coupled with constantly stiffen-
ing taxation.
Finance Minister Takashshi has been
trying to trim the budget of next
years governmental appropriations,
n If he puts it over, he'll probably
be the most popular person in all these
parts.
The average coolle may not know
an awful lot about international af-
fairs. He's hazy regarding the zap
cable and the open door in China and
the naval aspect of Guam. But he
has a bunch, gained from the popular
press, that 1t would cost him less for
living If the government spent less
money on the army and navy.
The same papers tell him that if the
Washington conference succeeds the
government can spend less for the
army and navy. Whereupon he emits
a lusty 'Banzai !" for the Washington
conference.
In every grade of society the senti-
ment is the same. For weeks the Of
ficials have been wrestling with esti-
mates and at present have made a re-
duction of about S%70,OcO,O00 in next
Jear's budget, as compared with the
present. However, that is only on pa
per for the present, and there will be
finally prepared and presented to the
diet.
The tentiye budgets for the next
fiscal year have been made upon a
of a continuation Of the eight
eight naval construction program and
also continued maintenance of the ex-
Deditionary forces in Siberia. The hope
$, however, that these proposed TX
.Dendltures will not have to be made.
If present indications here are re-
iized the naval items can be consid-
erably reduced as a result of the
Washington conference. The prospect
S that no withdrawal of the Japanese
from Siberia can be expected
'or some months, but even If the
are ordered out by next spring,
money will be saved from the tentative
A great hue and cry has been raised
'ver all suggestions that the educa-
ional appropriations might be reduced.
Without exception, all the principal
Japanese newspapers hoped into the
ing and howled. They declared of all
hings that mustn't be touched-that
must, indeed, be titled If posslble-the
ducation budget heads the list. One
f the arguments commonly made was
hat the education budget this year is
My about 3.5 per cent of the total
udget and about 10 per cent of the
avail estimates, and that the total
rmy and navy appropriations a.
to almost so per cent of the
ntire government revenues.

viii Work for Release of Prisoners
Who, He Says, Are Entitled to
Their Liberty; Ovation Is
Given as He Leaves

Atlanta, Ga.-Eugene V. Debs sew
eral times Socialist candidate fol-
president, was released from Atlanta
~penitentiary at IL 80 o'clock Sunday
morning, the balance of his ten year
sentence for violation of the espionage
act having been committed by Presi-
dent Harding.
Debs left an hour later for Wash
ington, his release having been condi-
toned, he said on his reporting to At
torney General Daugherty. He refused
to issue a statement or to comment
in any way on his case. He reached
Washington about 1880 a. m. Monday
An ovation was given Debs as he
emerged from the prison. The roar
from the crowd was echoed plainly
from within the walls as The many
friends he had made shouted a good
by. Debs paused and waved his bat
to a group within the prison before
entering an automobile to go to the
station.
Friends of Debs said he planned to
go to his home in Terre Haute, Ind.
when his business e Washington was
concluded.
Debs was accompanied to Washing
ton by his brother Theodore who had
been in Atlanta for several days; Miss
Lucy Robbins Of the American FEEDER
alton of labor, Miss Celia Rotter, Il
member Of the Debs freedom confer
enee, and newspaper men.
For forty-eight hours friends Of
Debs had kept a watch over the prison
expecting his release despite reports
Washington that his commuta-
ton Of sentence did not become effec-
tive until after midnight Saturday.
Warden Dyche and Debs had break
fast in the warden's residence, and
Debs later returned TO the institution.
Just before Debs was formally re
leased, the warden issued orders per
Newspaper men to enter the

But Some People VIII Doubt Whether

CONFERENCE END
NEAR IS BELIEF
SUBMARINE TANGLE IN SNAG;
FOREIGN PARTICIPANTS IN
DOUBTFUL ATTITUDE
China and Far East Problems to Fol-
low Naval Limitations Agree
ment; Session May
End This Week

Washington - Confidence that tn,
agreement on the reduction and limita
ton of naval ornaments could be com
pleted this week and sealed at a plen-
airy session Of the international con-
ference, vas expressed by members OF
the American delegation Sunday.
The American delegates are also con-
ident this agreement will include a
limitation of submarine tonnage, which
may represent a compromise between
the 10000 tons proposed by Secretary
Of State Hughes for Great Britain and
the United States and the 10000 tons
of the original Hughes plan with pro-
%portionate allowances for France, Italy
and Japan.
Such confidence Is not shared by
members of other delegations, notably
the British, who regard the submarine
controversy as a tangle which will not
be easily Strengthened out. Some Of
the British representatives are ex-
tremely pesslmlstic, inclinlng to the be-
lief that no settlement is possible and
that the conference will find it neces-
sary to leave submarines out of the
limitation agreement, with each nation
permitted TO build as many as it may
deem adequate for defense.
French delegates said they would
not be ready to state their position on
the latest Hughes proposal until after
hearing from Paris, probably Monday.
Mr.. Huges proposes that France be al
lowed TO malntain her present sub
marine strength Of approximately 81
600 tons. The French pronounce this
unsatisfactory, insisting a maximum
approxlmatlng 100000 tons is neces-
sary for the protection of France and
her colonies.
The Japanese also are far fran sat
ished with the 1000 tons allowance
Of the Hughes proposal. They want
the $1,000 tons maximum of the ori-
ginal Hughes plan and will join hands
France in fighting the new propo-
which is supported by Great
Internationally and by Italy

is completed the conference viii re

Events in China connected with the
institution of the sO-called dictatorship
Of General Chang Tso LIN, the super

resignation of the Picking cabinet are
regarded in conference quarters as q
1indication Of the position taken by
