Speed Naval Arms
Race as Trade War
Becomes Sharper
Japanese Declare They
Will Demand Parity
With u. S., Britain
by Burck

TOXIC, May Blooming above
the bitter trade war going on be-
tween the United States and Japan,
as well as between Britain and ia
pan, was the declaration Mineo
Osumi, Minister of Marine, that ia
pan would demand naval arms par
ity at the 1895 Naval Conference
with Britain and the United States.
Neither Of the three big naval
powers, however, are waiting until
1885. All are rushing ornaments,
Minister Osumi's direct demand
for naval parity was made in an adj
dress to the governors of the prefec-
lures Of Japan here today. He adj
mitted that the japanese govern
ment is strengthening its navy. He
did not mention the Vinson Bill
passed by the U. S. Congress pro-
viding for rapid naval arning.
Osuni's speech was considered as
an official announcement of Japan's
intentions for the 1885 Naval Con-
ference. He declared that Japan
would free herself from the I'M
favorable restrictions contained in
existing treaties" Speaking of the
military preparations of all the
powers, Osumi said, Especially in
their military establishments in the
Far East" would be used as a pre-
text for further Japanese arming
He declared that Japan would claim
the right to increase its naval
strength because OF the British ma
val base at Singapore. In the same
breath he mentioned Vladivostok.

negotiate for it so they could utilize
the money to help Kolchak in his
efforts to overthrow the Soviet gov
eminent.
An American lawyer by the name
of Frederick R. Coudert, of the firm
of Coudert Brothers, was hired and
paid $4,000 out of the embassy
funds. While supposedly acting for
attorney against the surety company
for obtaining return of the money
paid, Mr.. Coudert was also director
of the National Surety Co.
Negotiations were going on when
the Kerensky government was
overthrown by the telling masses
of Russia. The Tennessee Copper
Co. and the National Surety Co.
informed Coudert Brothers, Bak-
hmetieff's attorney, that they did
not think it safe to make a settle
ment, because they had some
doubt about the right of Bakhme-
tieff to represent a non-existent
government.
Bakhmet1eff, however, was IN neec
of money to finance the Kolchak
and Denikin counter-revolution. He
was very anxious to get the money
He went to the State Department
and Secretary of State Colby GER
titled that Bakhmetieff still con-
tinued to be Russian ambassador.
Still the companies did not want
to pay, because they knew the money
did not belong to these gentlemen
Mr.. Coudert arranged matters. He
advised settlement for smaller
amount. Mr.. Bakhmetieff wrote g
confidential memo to his financia
agent, Serge Ughet stating that
while it is unthinkable for a surety
company to disclaim responsibility
it was better 70 settle for smaller
sum

DR.. Harry F. Ward of Union The
illogical Seminary addressed dele
gates analy1ing the present stu
alton as one leading to war and in
tervention against the Soviet Union
unless the young workers and stu
dent took action against this danger
He appealed to the conference to
affiliate to the American League
Against War and Fascism as the
organiza ton in which people of all
colors, nationalities and political
opinions could unite in common
struggle against war.
In the discussion which followed
the keynote was particularly evil
dent in the speeches of young
Ford Motor Company worker and
of a scoutmaster from Barnegat.
The Resolutions Committee re-
ported back with a militant pro-
gram of struggle against War and
Fascisln; a resolution calling for
afiliation with the American League
Against War and Fascis1n; against
terror in New Jersey; for the right
of students in NJ j. high schools
and colleges TO participate in anti
war work without interference from
their school authorities, and for
the holding of a demonstration
against War and Fascisrn on Ma
tional Youth Day, May 80, in Pater-
son, N. j.
Only the extreme paciflsts dis
scented on the resolution on pro-
grams. The Yipsels Joined then
in opposing aff1liation to the Amer
lean League but on different
grounds. They used the old shop
worn excuse Of domination by one
political party (the Communist
Party.
The conference, however, over
whelmingly voted to affiliate with

embassy in Washington, in the
dead of night and secretly, they
carted away and destroyed in
eliminating Observation-Disclosures
ing not only themselves, but Amer
lean bankers who misused the So
called Kerensky loans for counter
revolutionary and other purposes.
The United States government
support given to Bakhmetieff was
based on its activities in the inter-
est of Wall Street bankers who
wanted their Czarist loans paid.
In June, 1919, the interest on
Czarist bonds amounting to $780,
100000, was due. Serge Ughet, who
was acting for Bakhmetieff, assured
j. P. Morgan, the National City
Bank, the Guarantee Trust Co., and
KiGder, Peabody and Co., financiers
mainly interested in Czarist invest
ments, that he was in communica-
ton with Kolchak. He assured them
that they might reasonably expect
arrangements to be made for the
payment of this debt as soon as
the All-Russian Government was
formed" To help form this govern
ment, by financing the civil war
for the overthrow of the proletarian
dictatorship, the American govern
ment, intertwined with these Wall
Street bankers, hoped the Czarist,
as we'll as the Kerensky debts would
be paid-through Kolchak's wiring
ing it out of the Russian workers
and peasants.
But it was not to be. And now
the Roosevelt government threatens
to halt U. S.-Soviet trade unless
these criminal swindling transac-
tons tin which the United States
government was party be paid by
the toilers of the Soviet Union, who
never saw q cent ri It

Huey explained to the judge that

down. The son, Kit, becomes a
great surgeon and finds happiness
in a healthy and normal marriage
with splendid girl, Molly.
The picture ends in an argument
tative mood as well as dramatic
one. Sorrell had kept secret from
his son that old age and years of
privation had resulted in an incur
able disease. Suffering tremendous
pain, Sorrell puts himself into the
hands of his son and commands
him to give him sleeping potion
from which he will never awaken.
The picture ends with Kit and
Molly confident that Stephen Sor-
rell will never experience pain
again.
Warner gives dignified perfor-
nance of a father who permits IA
ther love to rue his entire life. In
the hands of a less competent actor,
this role could have been unbear-
ably sappy. Not so in the hands
of Mr.. Warner.
Peter Penrose is slightly strained
at times as Kit, when he was a
child but this young actor, speak
ing plainly and pleasantly, fails to
give Kit the characteristics of an
average boy.
Mr.. Williams as the adult Kit is
just as convincing as Mr.. Warner.
He handles his love scenes natural
ly with Winifred Shotter as Molly.
The role of Dora, wife of Cap
tain Sorrell, is most unsympa-
thetic one. She is a social rotter
and deserves the rebuke that her
son gives her. Margot Grahame
has this difficult role and gives
satisfactory performance.
From a scenic standpoint, this
movie has been beautifully mounted.
