ADMIT MUCH IN COMMON"
Germans, However, Disclaim Knowl.
edge Of japanese Pact.


BERLIN, November 81 (R.-Ger-
many acknowledged today her readi-
ness to act with Japan. partner in
a common antagonism to bolshevism,
lin given situations" but continued
to disclaim knowledge of any pact be.
tween the two nations aimed against
Russia.
Japan and Germany, q high gov
eminent spokesman said, have much
in common in their authoritarian
conception Of government" but there
is no hard and fast alliance between
the two"
1T Is quite conceivable Germany
and Japan-opposed as both are to
bolshevism-may in given situations
decide to proceed jointly" he added.
1T Is also possible, If either should
become involved in q war with Soviet
Russia, the other would exercise at
least q benevolent neutrality"
The Moscow assertions of q Ger
man-Japanese pact, foreign office
sources here said, were puzzl:ng. Some
German observers declared, however,
that such an agreement might have
been effected by oficials not con-
nected with the Man foreign Office
hence that office might not know
Of it.
Nothing is known here one OFF,
cial insisted, but he refrained from
absolute denial. The propaganda min
istry. it was announced, has in
structed German newspapers not to
discuss the reported alliance.

Supreme Court and Senate
May Discuss Constitution

A proposal that the Senate Judiciary
Committee invite members of the
Supreme Court to state their views
as to how to overcome the impasse
raised by the courts decisions in
validating legislation enacted by Con-
gress to carry out the administra-
tion's aims is being considered in
liberal quarters within the admins
tration and on Capitol Hill.
The idea is so novel, it was conceded
by those suggesting it, that it may
never be considered by the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee, which is dominated
by Senators not commonly classified
with the so-called liberal group. But
the originators of the suggestion are
prepared to push it if they can get
hearing in the committee.
The proponents of the plan argued
that it would be highly practical ap-
proach TO the so-called constitutional
issue if the memebrs of the court, di-
vided as they are into two camps, one
leaning toward a liberal and the
other a strict construction of the Con-
stitution, were to give their views as
to whether an amendment is needed
to give Congress the power to enact
the type of welfare legislation the
administration is seeking.
Deadlock to Be Broken.
The President has indicated, it was
pointed out, that he will seek in his
second term to carry out objectives
that were defeated because of the in
valuation of enactments of Con-
gress in his first term. He has said he
would work for shorter hours for labor,
a minimum wage, assurance Of collec-
tive bargaining and parity Of income
as between farmers and industrial
workers. Legislation carrying out
these objectives all would fall within
the area surrounded by constitu-
tional barriers Until the deadlock be-
tween the legislative and judicial bar
riers is broken. it was pointed out, the

SOVIET THREATENS
JAPANESE ON PACT
May End "VitaI" Fishing
Concession Over Alleged
German Accord.
By the Associated Press.

MOSCOW. November 21-A blunt
warning to Japan that Soviet Russia
will not Cooperate further In grant,
ing "vitap Japanese fishing conces-
sions until the reported Japanese Ger
man military pact is cancelled, was
sent to the Japanese Embassy here
tonight.
The eleventh-hour development
came just as Japanese diplomats were
preparing to 60 to the Soviet foreign
office to sign the fishing agreement.
The new pact, fruit of years
patient negotiations, would have ex-
tended for eight years the Japanese
right to fish in Soviet waters OF
Eastern Siberia.
Concession Held vital.
The great bulk Of Japan's sea food
is obtained from these waters. and
japanese officials repeatedly have said
the concession was vital to Japanese
interests.
In notifying the Japanese Embassy
Of Russia's refusal to renew the agree
ment. which expires December 81, the
Soviet foreign office emphasized the
bad atmosphere" created by the as
serted German-Japanese military al
lance.
Japan was advised that Russia
would be unable to sign the renewal
until the situation is cleared up"
Diplomats viewed the Soviet ma

the heaviest pressure on Japan to back
out Of her supposed secret agreement
with Germany. They said the chances
Of reaching a Soviet-Japanese pact
Of non-aggression. heralded as forth
coming early in 1887, now were dim.
Define Alleged Pact.
High Soviet sources pronounced the
German-Japanese alliance a progress
sive but not final action directed in
preparation for a world war"
Speaking with the authority Of the
Kremlin. the newspaper Izvestia de-
clared such an agreement would in
crease "the Japanese menace to the
United States and Great Britain as
well as a German menace against all
Europe.
The truth Is that the alliance is
not plot against the u. s. s. r. alone
but against the world.
Army Increases Hinted..
Informed sources said the general
staff had considered the situation and
there were reports further increase
in Russia's army would be revealed
in the next report of strength to be
published in January.
The forces of our country are able
under any conditions TO defend her
frontiers from any assault" Izvestia
said.

administration could hope for little
progress.
The extreme liberal view is that
the Supreme Court should be deprived
of its power Of veto over acts of Con-
fourth vote; the argument being that
when Congress speaks with that de-
gree Of authority its word should be
the law of the land subject to no
review by the court. Conservatives
disagree, pointing out that with Con-
gress dominated to the extent the
next Congress will be by the Demo-
Gratis, almost any measure could be
passed by sufficient vote to immunize
it from judicial review.
Powers Of Congress.
Still others argue that Congress
now has the power to stipulate that
its acts shall not be renewable, but
opponents OF this theory are not cer-
tain that the Supreme Court would
concede such plenary powers to the
legislative body.
A third school believes that the
Constitution should be amended to
broaden the authority of Congress
over interstate commerce, labor regu-
lations, agricultural production and
the national resources.
Those who advocate an attempt by
Congress to immunize its acts from
review by the Supreme Court do so
not so much in the belief that the
Supreme Court would be cowed by
such congressional fiat as In the hope
the Supreme Court would get its back
up and thus crystalline opinion be-
hind a constitutional amendment.
Rather than make the Supreme
Court an issue, the administration
liberals would prefer to have the
court consulted by the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee to the end that
the legislative and judicial branches
might cooperate in working out q
solution.

NEW AMENDMENT
League Plans Fight to Put
All U. S.. Jobs Under
Civil Service.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 2l.-.'he
National Civil Service Reform League
announced today that a proposed new
amendment to the Constitution would
be introduced at the next session of
Congress with the support Of at least
lis Senators and Representatives.
The amendment would require all
Federal Government. jobs to be filled
by competitive civil service examina-
tions.
H. Eliot Kaplan, secretary of the
league-of which the late George w.
Wickersham was long the head-said
a poll OF legislators elected on Mo-
vember 3 showed SO men pledged, in
writing. to support the amendment as
onered and So more committed to
vote for it in principle.
None Express Opposition.
A number who answered the poll
were noncommittal, Kaplan said, but
none expressed outright opposition. I"
He exhibited letters from veteran
members of Congress who said the
power to dole out jobs did as much
harm as help to their political
careers.
The drive for a constitutional
amendment started during the presi-
Dental campaign. Kaplan said it
was due to non-competitive. posts
opened by creation of Alphabetical
agencies" Of the New Deal.
Estimates 100000 New Jobs.
The league secretary estimated
these new jobs at more than 200
000," as compared to about 10000"
which he said were exempt from civil
service restrictions before the Presi-
dent took Office in 1881.
In fairness to President Roose-
velt," Kaplan said, "the public should
realize that he himself is not respon.
sible for these wholesale exemptions

Now whisper this softly, but it

fidence to this battle. He has

along nicely. It is big squad
with height and weight, but there
are couple of little guys on the
team. And when they take the
floor, they really look tiny. Dave

stands just feet 6 inches in
height. Milt Schonfeld is an.
other little chap. He stands S feet
5 inches in height and weighs 140
pounds.
KieseI At Center
Capt. Hal KieSel is one of the
giants of the squad, rearing his
height 6 feet Az inches. He nat
urally will start tonight's game.
Jack Butterworth, from out in

will see action tonight. He is one
half an inch shorter than Kiesel.

themselves. There is enough vet

Night Game SET
For High Series

The night basketball game, UP
for discussion for the past two or
three weeks, has been decided upon
for the coming interhigh series.
The board Of high school prin-
cipalS met and agreed to the con.
test at a meeting late yesterday.
The date now will be set by Di.
rector Birch e Bayh'S athletic
council, which will meet in the
near future.
1t is likely the January is date
will be taken. This date and two
others, January % and February
6, were submitted to the principals.
A single game will be played on
January is, and If it is successful
it is felt the other two dates will
be agreed upon by the principals.
While on the subject Of dates,
the board also checked the 1887
interhigh football schedule, which
will start October S and end No
vember 81. Woodrow Wilson's en-
trance into the series will make
the series longer than heretofore.
There is the possibility that
night football will be agreed upon
by the principals. But it depends
on how the basketball night game
turns out. If that is successful,
it's generally thought the board
will permit several night football
games.
Western High furnished the
only basketball action of the day
yesterday. The GeorgetownerS
