ENVOY Due HERE
Count Uchida to Dist D. c.
on Return From Signing
Peace Pact Abroad.

Washington this week will welcome
distinguished Japanese visitor-Count
Uchida-who is on his way home from
Paris, whittier he was dispatched to
affiX his country'S signature to the
multilateral pact to renounce war.
Though his sojourn is described as
entirely unofficial, Count Uchida, thrice
foreign minister of Japan and once AM
bassador to the United States, will pay
his respects to President Coolidge and
Secretary Kellogg. It goes without Say
ing that the opportunity for discussion
of international questions of mutual
Japanese American interest will not be
ignored.
Visit Here Prearranged.
When Count Uchida left Japan for
Europe it was intimated that his mis-
sion to the Occident included visits to
London and Washington in connection
with the task, it was reported, of "ex-
planning Japan's attitude toward
newly established Nationalist China
The Tanaka government was repre-
Sented as anxious to assure Great
Britain and the United States, in par
ticular, that Japan'S purposes in Man.
churia are not inconsistent with the
ly reaffirmed at the Washington con-
ference. Count Uchida spent week in
London earlier this month, and now he
comes to Washington.

Japan are at present strained to the

joinder was the abrupt termination OF
the Sino-Japanese commercial treaty
an act denounced by Toxic as an out
rageous" violation of international law
Diplomatic correspondence continues

OUTSTANDING WORLD EVENTS
OF PAST WEEK BRIEFLY TOLD

Germany agreed that a total for its
reparationS be fixed by commission of
experts. A subsequent report from
Geneva said the United States would be
asked whether it would like to CO.
operate with such commission. Smaller
European powers. affected indirectly by
the situation, believe that nothing can
be accomplished without American COL
liberation.
Disarmament Issue Up at Geneva.
There was hectic debate at Geneva on
the disarmament question. At the end
of the week one man, much against his
will, was saddled with the responsibility
of deciding when and where the next
preparatory conference would be held
He was told only that 1t should be con-
VOked late this year or early in 1929,
a French formulation.
This man is Jonkheer DR.. j. Loudon,
Ambassador of the Netherlands to
France and president of the Preparatory
Disarmament Commission of the
League of Nations. He stuck manfully
to his previous declaration that unless
the five chief naval poWers-The United
States, Great Britain, France, Italy and
Japan-came to some preliminary
understanding, preparatory confer
ence would be useless.
About the only fully positive action
which the disarmament commission
took was to urge all nations to enter
into treaties of friendship and nom
aggression. These, it was calculated,
would reduce temptations to 60 to war
and by. that much diminish the need
for ornaments.
In this field Italian diplomacy scored
another point against Jugoslavia, when
Greece decided to sign such pact with
Italy.

Panic Is Started,

AS the curtains in front burst into
flames, there was a mad rush for the
exits. Men, women and children were
trampled in the stampede. The theater
was equipped with modern precautions
against fire, but it was very old and the
wooden framework burned rapidly.
People massed In the narrow aisles,
frantically fighting their way to the
three exits at the front of the building.
Soon these exits we're choked with the
struggling mass and many were blocked
from escaping from the galleries.
There were reports today that all
those behind the scenes were able to es-
cape through the stage doors.

THE BENEFICENT RESULTS OF

A British industrial commission has

for the Presidency, Mr.. Herbert Hoover:
There is no question in my opinion,
that prohibition is making America more
productive. There can be no doubt of the
economic benefits of Prohibition. View
ing the temperance question only from
this angle, Prohibition has proved its
case".
Roger Babson, the world renowned
statisticlan issued the statement last year
that prohibition had saved the United
States six billion dollars, and adds that a
few million spent for enforcement of the
law is money we'll spent, ever il we do
not take into consideration the fact that
the latter has been largely repaid by the
confiscatlons and fines imposed on the
V~lOlatOrs.
