JAP INTERESTS
IN DEADLOCK ON
SOVIET STAND
Expect Recognition As
Inevitable Result
tey Rosta News Agency


MUKDEN, Dec. 16 (By Mail
The hesitation and vaciIIation
of the Japanese government in
negotiations with Soviet Russia
and the present deadlock reflect
the struggle that is going on
outside the scope of the confer
ence itself.
The following details are
available from a well-informed
foreign source.
Navy Needs oil Supplies.
The ministry of navy, being interest
ed in ensuring oil supplies for the
Japanese fleet, insists on prompt
conclusion of an agreement.
This department considers that the
Soviet propositions are acceptable and
satisfy Japans national interests as
well as those of the navy, whose very
existence will in case of war hang in
the balance and depend upon whether
or not it will be able to get oil from
anywhere besides America and the
Dutch Indies.
However, the naval ministry's in
sistence meets with opposition on the
part Of Mitsubishi interests and the
interests of other financial groups,
which are actually working in north
ern Sahkalin under the firm of
Hokushin-kai.
These have to their hearts not so
much the national interests of Japan
as those of their own pockets, and
therefore, while they are jeopardizing
the relations between Japan and So
Wet Russia, they bring pressure to
bear on the government in order to
obtain the most advantageous terms
for their enterprises.
The second fighting line, so to say,
runs between the present cabinet and
the priviy council, which has lately
been trying to 're-establish its in
huence in questions of foreign policies
and, disregarding the formers feel
ings, is stubbornly bent upon proving
that it is itself and not the cabinet
that is making the foreign policy.
This struggle is sometimes in the na-
ture Of very paltry one and does
a good deal of harm to the national
prestige of Japan.
Personal Element Enters.
Lastly, the third fighting line runs
along the relations between Mr..
Yoshizawa, Japanese minister at Pc
king, and Minister of Foreign Affairs
Shidehara. Serious divergence of
views between them on the Russian
question has come to a point when
any question which could easily be
settled under another department is
actually complicated by an element
of personal irritation.
Rumors spreading in Tokyo have it
The daily worker., 1925-01-19

that Mr.. Shidehara wishes to charge
a new person with negotiations with
the Soviet Union, but that, however,
he hesitates to do it in view of Mr..
Yoshizawa's popularity and because
the latter has already done the main
part of the work.
Urge Transfer to Moscow.
The Japanese foreign minister re-
Gently submitted proposition to the
cabinet, that the negotiations be
transferred to Moscow, whittier he is
really to send special delegate.
The reasons given by the foreign
minister in favor of such plan were
that the Japanese minister in Picking

tions. However, strong opposition
was voiced against this plan in the
cabinet, particularly on the part of
Premier Kato. Nevertheless, it is be-
lieved that Mr.. Shidehara will carry

tive governments, which, it is believ-
ed, will clear away the last obstacles.
Russia demands immediate evacua-
ton Of northern SakhaIin by Japanese
troops, while Japan undertakes to do
so "as soon as practicable" The Jap.
anese view is that evacuation would
be difficult while the island is ice
bound.
The draft of the agreement, which is
published today and which is confirm.
ed in official circles as correct, but
not quite complete on account of the
unsettled points," is divided into six
articles and two protocols, besides Ave
annotations.
Terms Of the Agreement.
The main features are as follows:
Article 1 provides for the immedi-
ate resumption of diplomatic and con.
sular representations between the two
countries.
Under Article Russia undertakes
to recognize the Portsmouth treaty,
and the continuation or revision of
other treaties is deferred to a later
conference.
Article deals with fisheries and
maintains the present system of leas.
ing fishing lots pending the conclusion
Of new convention,
Article calls for negotiating a
treaty of commerce and navigation,
each country being placed "as fast as
possible" on the basis of the most "a
vored nation.
Article 5 deals with propaganda,
Russia undertaking not to carry on
propaganda in Japan "for purposes of
corrupting political or social institu-
tions."
In Article the Soviet government
indicates its readiness to grant the
Japanese government or Japanese sub
jects concessions for exploiting the
minerals, forests and other natural re.
sources in Soviet territory.

AN ARMY AT LARGE

(Oklahoma City Daily Oklahoman)
Graver words are rarely spoken
than those of Judge Marcus A..
Kavanaugh Of Chicago before, the
St. Louis Bar Association when he
said that there are at large in the
United States today $4,000 men
and women who have taken life
unlawfuly and have gone unpun-
ished.
Such situation is almost un-
believable; yet if you will only
look about you (no matter where
you live) you will probably see
some citizen, who has escaped the
penalty imposed by the law for the
commission of homicide, nothwith-
standing his hands are red with
blood.
Every year that runs its course
sees 10000 murders committed in
America. Even that CHASTITY total
is incl easing and ere long America
will be known as the land Of TO-
900 murders year. Thus far the
unsolved murders in Chicago alone
are SO per cent greater than they
were for the first four months CT
1924.
Long ago Americans made their
nation safe for democracy. They
also made it reasonably safe for
individual liberty. But at the
same time somebody has made it
safe for murderers. In no other
civilized nation on the face of the
earth is there SO much safety
from punishment for those who
wantonly take human life.

DEVELOPING OF TROPICS
BRINGS RACE PROBLEM

The sea, fortunately. will present
no social problems If the nations
can agree on its division, or on a
way to administer it in common,
nothing will be left beyond our pres
ent power to solve.
Not so the tropics. The white man,
to be sure, can work in the tropics.
The delusion that he can not is ex-
ploded. But he won't. And why
should he? There are others there
who can do it better. and cheaper.
So the white man goes to the
tropics, not to work, but to COM
mand the work of others. There
I, is room for the white man only at
the top or the bottom-to rule or
to prey. The main body of his race
must stay in the temperate regions.
And this is permanent; for the
white worker could find place in the
tropics only by displacing-that is.
exterminating-the races already
there. White leaders find it more
profitable to exploit them.
Thus, the more the white man de-
velops the tropics, the more critical
becomes the problem of the relation
of races. And that is the only hu-
| man problem in which humanity. so
far, must acknowledge itself abso-
luteiy helpless. We shall sooner
farm the wastes of the deep than we
shall learn to do justice to men OF
different color.

LITTLE MISTAKES

Do you go on the plan that little
errors do not amount to much?
At times you wonder why your
employer is so agitated because OF
some mistakes you have made.
They were just little slips, you
knew better-you argue.
It's because he wants things as
nearly perfect as is humanity pos
sible and that is just the reason
why he is your boss.

pass off any mistake which is call.
ed to your attention; it is small
matter in your life.
But would you not be better off
if you had a more serious concep-
ticn of life?
The matter of going forward de-
ponds much upon the way of going
and your self-discipline.
Are you not too high spirited:
Perhaps you let your high spirits
blind you to your own mistakes
and frailties.
After all, things are either right
or they are wrong.
And little errors have way OF
getting themselves magnitied.
