COURTESY TO SHIPS
PLEASES JAPANESE
Welcome Afforded Naval Vis-
itorS in California Held
Pleasant Antidote.
BY JOHN RUSSELL KENNEDY.

BY Cable TO The Star and Chicago Daily News.
TOXIC, January 31.-Detailed ac-
counts of San Francisco's enthusias-
tic welcome for the Japanese naval
visitors, which are contained in spe-
ctal dispatches from Washington, to-
Sether with the announcement of
elaborate preparations in Washington
for welcome to Ambassador Tsuneo
Matsudaira, are received throughout
Japan as pleasant antidote. The
dispatches tell of a banquet for the
naval men under the auspices of
Frank b. Loomis and a delegation of
several hundred editors and news
paper mon of the Pacific Coast. Some
or the newspapers, however, refuse to
accept the dispatches as entirely re-
hecting that all of America has un-
dergone change of heart toward
Japan. Evidence is not lacking of a
propaganda of discomfort at present
working throughout the country.
Shows General Discomfort.
The trend of the discussions in the
Diet shows that there is general dis
content with the financial policy of the
government as uneconomic. Also there
Is a decided opposition to army ex-
penditures while the peoples taxes are
not reduced and the prices of the neces-
saries of life continue to rise The
Osaka Mai Nichi is at present the chief
exponent of Japanese suspicious of the
British and American naval ship base
increases. which it finds Inconsistent
with Americas desire to call a second
arms conference. and England's ex-
pressed desire to accept an invitation TO
1t The Mai Nichi, which has far the
largest circulation among the masses,

the Nichi Nichi OF Toxic, 1t may be re-
garded as the most powerful influence
In japan. especially among the provin-
cial newspapers. The latter urges Asia
for the AslaticS," lauds the Russian
treaty and bitterly opposes the general
economic policy and military expendi-
lures of the present administration.
Fear Red Influence.
The conservatives in Japan point
out that present conditions are fertiI-
izing the ground for communistiC
and socialistic seed, which they as
sert Will he freely imported now from
Russia. Undoubtedly the highest Of
ficials are convinced that the treaty
provisions against propaganda are
not likely TO be effective and that ia =
pan must be prepared for a more rigid
defense against propaganda which
neither MOSCOW nor Tokyo can pre-
vent while the headquarters of the
1nternationale are at Moscow. On the
other hand, there is already a huge
combination being formed for ex-
ploitation of the mines, forests and
oil wells of Siberia and SaghaIien All
big firms are included and the capital
is said to be the largest ever known
for any combination in Japan that
will have the support of the govern

Except by the conservatives above
mentioned, the Russian treaty is uni
versally acclaimed as a timely saliva =
tion for Japan which will enable her
TO secure all raw materials except
cotton. IL is believed that the treaty
will enable Premier Kato to pass the
budget and other bills without great
difficulty.

PRUSSIAN CRISIS HELD
TEMPORARILY PASSED
Premier Braun Reelected by Bare
Majority of Three-Lacks
Control.
By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, January 31.-The official
organs of all parties today agree
that the Prussian crisis has not been
obviated by yesterdays reelection
of Premier Otto Braun. His bare ma
jority of three not only does not con-
stitute an absolute majority of all
the members of the Diet, but was
made possible only because Conserva-
tive -Cericals, such as Maj. Won
Papen, were whipped into line for the
time being. 1t Is said to be more
than doubtful that they will stand
by the three-party coalition.
The premier failed today in efforts
to have the Peoples party join the
coalition.

OPIUM SOLUTION
/ DEF|ES CONFEREES
Joint Commission Fails to
Devise Formula to Recon-
CiIe Viewpoints.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, January 31.-The joint
commission of the two opium con-
ferenceS, like the earlier private
meeting of the plenipotentiaries,
failed today to bring forth the magic
formula for solving the perplexing
problem of how and when to abolish
authorized opium smoking in the Far
East.
Great Britain, France and Holland,
In whose Far Eastern possessions
opium smoking prevails under gov
ernmental commission and super
vision, all explained that suppression
within a. definite term of years was
jmpra Cticable and dangerous. until
the Illicit cultivation of the poisonous
poppy was checked in China and
some means found TO prevent snug
Cling into other oriental countries.
Representative stephen g. Porter,
head of the American delegation. who
is striving for immediate action in
the suppression OF the habit, without
making it contingent on what China
will do did not address todays ses-
sion, and he proposed adjournment
until Tuesday. He said afterward
that, like other delegates. he still
hoped for an eventual agreement, yet
could not now foreSee along what
lines. He added that he was still
dissatisfied with the provisions of
the anti-narcotiC convention, which
he was convinced should be strength
ened
Failing to reach an accord on opium
smoking, the British favor the sign
ing of the aHtinarcotic convention
and the postponement of further con-
sideration OF the smoking problem for
y future conference
Appeal to Porter.
The European delegates appealed to
Mr.. Porter to see the situation as
they believed it actually is and to
try to understand that the suppress
sion of legalized smoking would be
followed by a tremendous influx of
contraband opium at a cheap price,
thus making the smoking evil in
fnitely worse.
Great Britain submitted two draft
protocols. one, to be attached to the
convention adopted by the first con-
ference, provides that the signatorfes
VIII prohibit smoking within 15 years
from the time that the producing
countries have limited the cultivation
and distribution of opium to a stage
where smuggling no longer con-
SututeS d serious obstacle to the
abolition of smoking. Whether that
stage was reached would be left to
the judgment of a commission ap-
pointed by the council Of the League
Of Nations.
The second British protocol. which
the second general opium conference
would adopt, permits producing coun-
tries, like China. Persia. Turkey,
JuEoslavia and India. to reduce over
cultivation within five years.
Similar proposals were submitted
by the French
The delegates voiced their sympathy
for Mrs Hamilton Wright of the
American delegation, who is in

URGES EDUCATION
TO END SOCIAL ILLS
Irish Envoy Here Tells of Va
rious PanaCeas to Better
Human Conditions.

Socialism, communism, anarchism
trades unions and cooperative So
cieties all travel over different roads
but all have as their ultimate pur-
pose the betterment OF the material
conditions of mankind" Prof. Timothy y
Smiddy, minister to the United States
from the Irish Free State, told mem
bers of the Women's City Club at q
luncheon me etfng yesterday after
noon in their headquarters, % Jack

which exist for this purpose in Ire
land and other European countries
He referred in particular to the So
cial welfare classes organized at the
University of Birmingham.
Factor or Education
Turning to an examination Of the
causes whose effects social vel
fare work strives to mitigate he cited
the above "isms" and movements as
"panaccas" which have been advo-
Gated
Prof. Smiddy confined himself
chiefly to the educational factor in
social welfare work He discussed
the subject of civics and its teaching
in high schools and colleges, and en-
phasized the necessity for education
al concentration on the training OF
the thinking faculty. He explained
the reasons for the success of the
methods of education followed in the
Danish high schools, and concluded
with the opinion that one OF the most
effective ways to redress social evils and
thereby render more effectual and
enduring the good effects of social
welfare work, is education in the hi G
original sense of the word-educa-
tion of character and intellect both
in the home and in the school.

THE TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE,
SUN
By ]. N. RhOads

1t might be of some interest to
your readers to learn that 1 went to
New York to see the total eclipse of
the sun last Saturday, January "a,
1925. Just twenty-five years ago,
May 28th, 1900, since 1 went to Nor
folk, Virginia, to view total eclipse
of the sun for the first time. 1 sent
you a short description of what 1
saw at the time, which some of your
subscribers will remember having
seen.
OF course I am twenty-five years
older now, and 1 had no time to lose
and little money to waste, so 1 got
I'D Saturday morning at $3.50 a. m.
and saw my thermometer register
ing 10 degrees above zero. I took the
4:4O a. m. train for New York City.
1 arrived at New York at 1908 a. m.
many miles away from the line OF
total eclipse. took subway car 3or
the Bronx Park, but the time was
short and it was flying, and the car
was creeping, and if did not reach
the park I might see nothing. AT
best knew I had only thirty Sec
onds to see the totality. TOtality
lasted a half minute in the park and
could not be seen on Wall Street at
all.
The car emerged from the subway
and became elevated one minute af-
ter nine; only eight minutes more to
go, and many miles away from my
goal. I excitedly watched through the
car window and saw the crescent
getting smaller and smaller; nine
| Wo-nine-three- nine-four - nine
fve-and no Bronx, and the ther-
mometer four degrees below zero.
The thought struck me "have gone
to all this trouble for nOthing? AT
nine eight the car stopped and 1 got
off onto the station platform not
risking to go further, and just one
station before the car reached the
Bronx, less than a minute to wait;
crescent nearly gone, and in a thrill
ling short moment disappeared-and
the corona flashed out in all its glory
and in a twinkle saw one large
Baily bead, a globe of yellow light
seemingly about the size of a golt
ball, and was situated right at the
inner junction of the halo and the
suns disk, and then, in never to
be forgotten second the last total
eclipse of the sun to be seen in the
United States for 144 years, was
over.
I heard and saw no birds. I heard
no COWS low for their calves and &C
plodding homeward to the barn, as
I did in Norfolk twenty-five years
ago. have patiently waited these
years to see this second total eclipse
I may wait a little while longer, but
I shall never see another one in the
United States.
