Japan's Last Voluntary Offer
Removes Force of Demands
Made, at Conference
By Carl d. Groat.
,(Hy United PreSs)

Washington, Feb. 3.-Japan has re-
leased her stronghold on China. She
has gone even farther than China had
dreamed she would. Now the Chi
nese themselves admit, lit is up to
,China. to prove it can run its own
affairs - 49,.
The Washington conference is no"
in its closing hours. Committee ap-
proyal of Far Eastern treaties was ex-
pected this afternoon, if nothing I'M
foreseen develops that would mean
plenary session tomorrow. Such
session is scheduled although up to
early today it had not been positive
ly called.
Following the plenary session it is
proposed to have day Of signing
treaties at the state department Mon
day, after which the delegates will
hurry home. .,
On the whole, it is admitted the
Chinese are going home with fuller
pockets and gladden. hearts than they
ever expected when the conference
opened. Japan's last voluntary offer
removes the force of the 81 demands,
while other decisions have already
emasculated large portion Of them.

Walter Willard Gives Fine
Y LECTURE Thursday Night at
Association Rooms
FAVORS CITY MANAGER
PLAN OF. GOVERNMENT Il 4
Explains System Of Electio
Now Being Proposed for
Use in Minnesota ~

Walter Willard, field secretary Tor
the National League Of Proportional
Representation and the National M y.
nicipal League, gave one Of the mos 's
interesting and instructive lectures on
the subject Of municipal government
and proportional representa- atom that !
one would wish to hear. HIS ta a'i \,
was delivered at the rooms Of the
Civic and Commerce association
Thursday evening before an inter-
ested audience. rs * E; q.
MI. Willard traced the growth OF
city government through all the
stages from the old. town meetings
to the city manager plan. He 1av-
ors the city manager form Of gov
eminent for all cities as being the
only form under which the taxpayers
get one hundred cents worth Of serv-
ice for every dollar spent:
In his remarks on proportional
representation he made the statement
that the idea entertained at the pres
ent time on proportional representa-
ton is entirely wrong, and he went
so far as to say that he could dem
onstrate how any Of the elections I'M
der the present system can be mani
pulated SO as to give the minority
complete control. IL 27= ~
He then proceeded to condret q
mock election under what is known
as the How system 81, election, prov
ing that it was the only system that
could not be manipulated BY; politi-
clans, and that the voter who goes
to the polls never throws away his
vote -as is so often the case under
the present system, also that the real
idea of proportional representation
can be carried out only on such a
basis. ES::, BIZ ;SSEis 3$FF a5.s#3 go e
The system mentioned is being in
troduced into city government and
also into private enterprise for the
election Of directors. Under the
present state constitution such a sys-
tenn is unconstitutional, but an
amendment is being prepared to be
submitted to the people. which woc!a
make the use of such an election sys-
item possible in this state, , /.
