II is natural that the Republican

should today be the target of much
of this dissatisfaction. and that the

THE NEAR EAST NEGOTIATION
:om the New York TrIbune.

From the New York Tribune.
The first hitch in the negotiations
AZ MudanIa occurred over Greek
evacuation of eastern Thrace. The
Turks have accepted Sin principle
ne Allied offer of September 20
last. which included the restoration
to Turkey of Thrace as far west as
the line OF the Martha river, in
cluding Adrianople. This territory,
west from the Chatelja lines, is oc-
cupiedfby Greek troops and is under
Greek administration. the Venizelos
government having occupied It in
1920 with THE tacit assent OF the
major Allied powers.
How are the Greeks 10 be ousted?
The new revolutionary government
at Athens has been talking of a re-
vivai OF Greek national spirit, a new
call 70 arms and the retention OF
Thrace by force. Nenizelos, who
has been asked to represent the revo-
lutionary ministry in London and
paris. Is wiser than the enthusiasts
at Athens. He knows that Greece
must pay-and pay heaviiy-for the
constantine fiasco.
Under Tino Greece engaged IN
war with Turkey against the pro-
tests of the Allied powers. She
turned her back on them and set up

shevist opposition. The last gov
ernment to attempt to take over the
control OF the eastern Siberian prov
inces was that headed by General
Diederichs, formerly commander OF
the Czecho-Slovakian forces. In
looking over the assets of his new
State he discovered that the arms
and ammunition which the Czecho-
Slovaks left at Vladivostok had dis
appeared. Investigating further he
found that they had been sold TO his
enemy, Chang Tso-lin, the Chinese
bandit, for use against him.

Baron Kato. Japan's PREMIER began
an investigation which opened up
the old struggle between the Jap
anese War Department and the Jap
anese Foreign Office. Baron Kato
declared that the stand which Japan
had taken at the Washington con-
ference made It imperative that
Japan's real part in the matter
should be disclosed TO the world. II
this was not done he threatened TO
resign his Premiership. The inves-
tigation put the blame for the sale

also brought out renewed assur-
ances from Toxic that the Japan
ese are evacuating Siberia and that
the last troops in the country will
be withdrawn today.
The situation at Saghalien be-
comes somewhat interesting to
America on account of the state
ment of the Soviet's Foreign Minis
ter, Karahan, to the effect that he
expects to obtain American collabor-
alton in the development Of the oil
fields of Kamchatka, and that he
hopes for extensive trade between
Siberia and American and Canadian
ports. America will accept this for
what II Is worth. But the one fact
which appears evident in this Far
East tangle Is that Soviet Russia has
abandoned the policy It once an
nounced Of conhning itself to Euro
pean Russia and that II is prepar-
ing to assert itself in the Far East,
even to the extent Of opposing Jap

The northern Pacific islands Of
Saghalien, the fate OF which the
world believed was definitely set
tied at the Portsmouth peace con-
ference in 1905, has reappeared as
troublemaker. Alone tho issue
might have been easily disposed of,
but II has brought in its train a
tangled mass OF Far East complica-
tions. There is the mystery of who
sold the Czecho- -Slovaks arms to
Chinese bandits and there are ques-
tions as to whether the Bolshevists
are 10 rule at'Vladlvostok or wheth-
err the Eastern Republic will stand
against them and whether the Jap
anese really intend to leave Siberia.
Saghslien is a long, narrow island
of the Siberian coast northeast of
Vladlvostok. 1t is separated from
Yezo, the most northern of the Jap
anese islands. by the Strait of Soya,
only a few miles wide. and it pos
sesses considerable mineral wealth,
agricultural possibilities and a CON
troll over the fisheries in the neigh
boring waters. Japan insisted upon
having II after the Russo-Japanese
war; Russia, however, objected, say
ing that II the Japanese possessed
Saghalien they would dominate the
east Siberian coast and its com
merce with the world. The Ports
mouth conference settled the mat
ter by dividing the island into two
parts, awarding the northern part TO
Russia and the southern to Japan.
As there is large Japanese pop
ulation there Japan has for years
looked longingiy upon the island.
Moscow knew this and was thrown
into a fever heat recently by the re-
port that the Japanese were in oc-
cupation OF the whole of Saghalien.
The Japanese made no denial of the
report but declared they were hold
ing the island only as a guaranty Of
settlement for the indignities to
which they were subjected at Nico- /
laievsk when they went into east
ern Siberia to maintain order and |

PHYSICAL TRAINING IN
THE SCHOOLS

(From the New York Tribune.)
It is a good suggestion by the
Board of Education that more at
tention be paid to the physical de-
velopment of the part-time stu
dents. A law exists, but unfortu-
nately has not always been OBJ
served, requiring every pupil above
eight years of age, who is not 7hysi-
cally disqualified, to receive physi-
cal training for at least twenty min
utes each day. As is generally the
case inadequate appropriations have
been made for carrying out this
law. with the result that training
is not yet well systemized nor thor
oughly given. Every opportunity to
improve it should be used.
1t is a curious thing that despite
our passion for athletics VIC have
done so little for the physical edu-
cation of school children. As a
matter of fact much OF our interest
in sports has really been interest in

struction of monopoly and profiteef-
nine years IN which 10 extirpate the
abuses Democratic politicians attri-
butte to protective tariffs; at the end
OF that period they were more acute
than at any time under a protective
tariff law. II has been widely pro-
claimed that a tariff law framed in
the Interests OF domestic rather than
OF alien productive industry would
cause an increase in retail prices.
Now that the new tariff law is on
the statute books retail prices are
not going up. but all the unem-
ployed men in the country, num-
berlng some three million when
President Harding was inaugurated,
are going back to work. A few
crooked profiteers may increase
prices under the new tariff law, but
the people will not be compelled TO
patronize them in view of the fact
that honest dealers will not increase
their prices. Now that the new
tariff law is in effect the importers
will cease to finance the campaign
to dlscredit II, and the outcry now
raised against It is not as loud as
that which preceded its enactment.
The tariff as an issue will get the
Democratic party nowhere. Two
years hence the vastly improved in
dustrial conditions under the oper-
ations of a protective measure will
cause that issue TO be abandoned by
Democratic leadership.
