JAPANESE ACT
JEOPARDIzES
Friendships
Political Peril Appears on
Horizon Due to Change
in Attitude
u. S. STANDS PAT
Stiffening Of Opposition to
British Stand Noticed in
Capital

GENEVA. Switzerland, June 28 N9.-
What constitutes the present danger
of the tri-partite naval conference, IN
the minds of close observers, is that
it may awaken or even create political
animosities. Not SO much danger IS
attached to its failing to reach an
agreement on the strength of auxiliary
Warcraft Great Britain, United States
and Japan may bind themselves not
to exceed.
This political peril has appeared on
the horizon because of the sudden
Japanese initiative, which indicates
that Tokyo may be forced either by
conviction that real economy may be
achieved, or by political expediency,
into backing the British in their. de-
rland for d re-examination Of the
Washington treaty, at least SO Tar as
battleships are concerned.
In American circles the Washington
treaty is looked upon as something
more than mere agreement to curtalI
the construction Of capital ships. In q
larger sense it is regarded as having
planted the seeds of new era OF tran
guilty on the Pacific ocean-the
cain the status quo of American for
tificatiOns at Guam and in the Phili-
ppines and Japan having accepted q
ratio in battleships considerably under
that of the United States.
1t is pointed out that the United
States has not only stopped strength
ening he bases sSheltering American
warships in the far east, but ardently
supported the successful negotiations
for the creation of a four-poWer Pacl-
fic pact in substitution of the Anglo
Japanese alliance, which went by the
board.
The Americans therefore are aYerse
to reopening the Washington treaty IN
any form, not only because they deem
such step juridically impossible and
impracticable, but also because they
have some apprehension that it might
provoke new and undesirable study
of the political situation, including
even the wisdom of adding to the
strength of the American bases at
Guam and in the Philippines.
That Japan is flirting with both
British and American delegations is
the way some observers comment on
Japan'S dramatic stroke last night
when the Japanese intimated the pos
sibility of a shift from their original
position that washington treaty mat
ters should not be discussed at Geneva.
Others insist that Japan's financial
condition makes it imperative for her
to attain an agreement to limit aux
iliary warships at the present con-
ference and that her new policy at
Geneva is really designed to force a
compromise between the utterly di-
vergent British and American attitudes
and thus save the parley from disrup-
ton.
From the British delegation today
came indications that w C. Bridge
man, first lord of the admiralty, has

American Ambassador to
France Brings War Out
lawry Memorandum

NEW YORK, June % R-Myron
T. Herrick, American ambassador to
France, returned for his annual vaca-
ton today and in an address at city
hall told of the international good
will created by the transatlantic
flight of Charles A. Lindbergh.
He said he considered it provident1al
'that the Spirit of st. Louis brought
that splendid boy out of the sky onto

Ambassador Herrick was pas
senger on the maiden voyage OF the
new French liner lie De France and
brought with him memorandum
from the French government con-
cerning outlawry of war between the
countries.
"It was tinne,'' he said, in speaking
of Lindbergh's flight, when old war
wounds were still unhealed, when
both France and America sorely need
ed a revival of that ancient friend
ship, latent but never dead.
"It was at this moment that the
Spirit of ST. Louis came out OF the
sky and gently, gently landed on

RULING ISLANDS
Recommends Interior Dept.
to Control Insular Pos
sessions

RAPID CITY, S. D., June % Up
Specific recommendations to the next
congress for administration of Amer
lean insular possessions is seen in the
disclosure at the summer white house
today that President Coolidge favors
the vesting of control over these ter
ritories in civil bureau of the
interior department.
1t was pointed out that Mr.. Coolidge
previously had expressed himself as
disposed to look favorably upon any
change which would place the insular
possessions under civil rather than
military authority and his recent
visit with Governor General Leonard
Wood of the Philippines has tended
to strengthen the opinion that the
interior department would be the
logical executive branch to govern
the possessions.
Recalling that a government COM
mission once recommended that in
sular control be placed in the state
department, it was pointed out that
no criticism was intended Of the

now awaiting trial.
The defense attorneys dubbed
their final argument as "a battle
against prejudice" They pleaded
that the relations Of the actress
and Kelly should not sway the jury
in reaching its verdict.
'ThiS case has been gin, gin, gin
and great deal has been said
about love making, but the real
facts must not be overlooked" said
Jerry GeiSler, defense attorney.
"They have tried to paint Miss
Mackaye as a jazzing, ginning,
woman and sought to excite more
prejudice against her."
In event the jury cOnvicts Miss
Mackaye and holds that RaymOnd's
death constituted murder she faces
imprisonment of from one to five
years. If it finds his death was
nanslaughter, she faces, ON con-
victiOn, a one to three year term.
The jury also can recommend a
six months county Jail sentence.
