They openly asserted that unless Ger

and would remain a festering spot In the

These bankers pressed Uictr arguments
upon the Government.
But tho Government was reluctant to
accept them, fearing a cry of repudia
tion of pre-war pledges, which charge

Justify Premier's Tactics.
In tho Interval between the Prime
Minister's return from his holiday In
Wales and his departure for Pan Remo
he decided that tho only method of
cheeking the French policy, which ho re
garded as diingcrotiB, was a friendly
rap through tho press. This rap, even
though friendly, was administered by
Philip Kerr, the Prlmo Minister's cs-
ueclal Intimato on Peace Conference affairs.
The Prlmo Minister's supporters now
claim that his tactics were Justified by
having forced consideration of a set
tlement of tho most Important question
of all the continued allied attitude to
Germany and attaining Its settlement
In tho most satisfactory manner. The
British delegates went to tho conference
with the details of a new plan of allied
cooperation to force disarmament of
Germany.
Calling1 the responsible heads- of the
German Republic Into conference with
the allied lenders Is one detail of the
British plan, while others Involve bet
ter organization of the allied commis
sions In Berlin, nnd better liaison be
tween them and the War Office as well
as tho forces on tho Rhine.
There Is no doubt of tho British In
tention to placo the burden of the eco
nomic clauses ultimately upon the shoul
ders of the Leairue of Nations If they
are etrongcnoijKh to sustain, them. This
Is ono reason for Mr. Lloyd George's
reiterated anxiety to brine in the
United States. He realizes that despite
high talk about tho economic Indepen
dence of Kurip", the lengue would be In
of vigorous fiscal measures. In tho face
or proposed rigorous French taxes the);
will argue that It Is Impossible for Great
Britain to show weakness, and every In
dlcatlon Is that Lloyd George's star alone
la undlmmed of all thote that shone at
tho Qual d'Orsay more than a year ago.

IV tlit AttoHaltd Prttt.
San Bbmo, April 25. Francisco Nlttl,
the Italian Premier, had a long conver
sation with tho American and English
newspaper correspondents last night af
ter the work of tho Council was over
for the day. It covered a broad, rango
of questions.
Slgnor Nlttl declared, ns Premier
Lloyd George hoe already said, that as
the Allies have nover been at war with
Russia each ally Is frco to deal with
her as It thinks nrnDcr.
Some of ' tho things, the Italian Pre
mier said were, in substanco:
"What Europe needs Is a smile. Peace
and war are not only two material
facts, they are states of mind. If. two
men look nt each other with murder In
their hearts they mny try to kill each
other ; but If one looks toward the other
with a cortaln diffidence and smiles
they may be friends. All the nations
Europe have three or four difficult
years ahead. They must smile ut one
another and work together.
"The members of this Council are
meeting to see If our countries can take
measures to assist In restoring order in
threo greatly disturbed areas the un
easy, restless Mohammedan world. Cen
tral,, Europe and ltussla. Wo aro Just
finishing the Turkish treaty."
Speaking of Germany, Slgnor Nlttl
said. In effect:
'So far as the Italians arc concerned
the war Is over. Italy has reduced hor
military Bcrvlce to eight months and tho
number of her army corps from twelve
to ten. Tho Allies for two reasons must
be fair and Just toward Germany. Tho
first Is that It is only by doing so we
can expect her to cultivate that mental
attitude of peace that, will fashion her
futur relations with tho rest of the
world. The second Is that It tho Allies
do not treat Germany reasonably they
will fall out among themselves. Ger-
0, course he isn't a grouch
avxl cm prove it!

scntmcn tot tho masses ngalnst tho
chisies Is growing unmistakably and ono
ilsy will renrh a pilch whero nn erup
tion will occur.
"Then will come blood and tears for
the laborers, while, becauso of the
'ashlon In which our sbclal structuro Is
reared, llko a pyramid on which Japan's
home, family and national' life aro built,
f.nc supporting tho other, It will crumblo
to pieces with a speed and velocity that
wilt leave only national ruins. This col
lapse will be accelerated because of the
very manner in which our social system
s organized. Iiat we regard aa our
strongest national link, the family tie
that links family to relatives and class
to masters until tho chain reaches to
tho throne, will bo our very bane and
utter discomfiture.
"Already In Japan somo Industries aro
nationalized, for example, tho railways
nnd tho tobacco Industry, but no material
benefit for labor has como from these,
as their nationalization has been merely
to Increase tho national revenue, without
regard for tho moral, mental and physi
cal welfare of the worriers. Such na
tionalization as Japan has seen so far
has been merely a cloak for national
capitalism, worso by far than private
capitalism.
"What has caused tho present labor
situation In Japan may be considered In
two ways. JOno Is to consider the condi
tions under which tho laborers of Japan
aro forced to live, conditions that ore
ringing a discontent thut is fast incrcas.
Ing, shown In the strikes that come on
slight provocation all over tho country.
If takes desperation to drive Japan's
laborers Into strikes, as this Is a weapon
dangerous to tho users, any direct action
furnishing tho police with tho excuse
they desire to throw the strikers Into
prison. Dcsplto this tho strikes go on,
tho men Inviting Jail sentences apparent
ly and giving an Insight Into tho mental
ity of tho workers and a hint that much
further procrastination In the honest
search for a solution of tho troubles bo
tween capital nnd" labor will recoil to the
disadvantage of the country, to say the
least.
"Tho other manner of regarding tho
situation Is to consider what Is happen
ing elsewhero In the world of labor,
knowledge of which no longer can be
hidden from tho Japanese. Until a very
few years ago people here never even
dreamed that Japaneso labor would as
sert Itself In any way. But the awaken
ing has como In Japan as elsewhere,
given Its greatest Impetus by tho em-
rights of labor, will bo written down
In our history ns tho causo of the
awakening of the mma of Japanese la
bor, ami the great middle class, now
sufterlmt from the cost of living, which
Is relatively higher in japan man in mir
other part of tho world, Is awakcnlnff
also and Its weight fs commencing to

capitalist class and tho autocrats aro

and capitalistic, If not Killed must be
scotched. Tho Government must per
mit tho organization of real labor
unions and it must enact tho manhood
suffrage act. When our Parliament bo

which they, will be a part. This will bo

Japaneso Socialists In America ore
circulating a general manifesto to tho
effect that a rovolutlon will soon take
place In Japan which will establish a
.ovist Janancse republic. The 'manifesto
says In part;
"A little while only may thn con
iimnMl nnnv of JaDan hold Vladivostok.
Our peoplo will not support tho wrongs
that will mane mo jiuBPians um "
The Hod army of Soviet Russia will soon
trush the Japanese Imperialists.
"The victory of tho ittu army oi hub-

mately be a match for tho ned army of
tho awakoned Russian workers and peas
ants. ,

botago and riots against tho capitalists
and even tho reactionary govcrmnriiv i
thn police, gendarmes and troops will not
submit to the army and will not fight for

"We, tho Socialists, aro profoundly

Cousin Tom and Others
THE Columbia Trust Company recently asked
several men why they hes'itated to have a Trust
v Company settle their estates.
Perhaps you may find your own "hesitation"
among the following reasons given.
S ' ' '
1. "Cousin Tom can do it all right"
He probably can, if the estate is very small. But if an
' estate is sizeable or at all complicated, we are thankful that
we baro on our staff many men of highly specialized experienco
in Executorship duties. The Cousin Toms aro handicapped by
lack of personal experience in settling estates. They may not
know how. They may die and then the Court will appoint their
successors who may or may not be the person one would
have chosen.
. 2. "Trust Companies aren't human"
Speaking for ourselves we can simply say this: The settling
of estates usually puts us in contact with men and women at a
time when they need .everything wo hare of kindliness and
consideration and sympathetic understanding. Never for one
moment can we forget it.
3. fThey lack elasticity"
We hare seen estates settled by well-intentioned but
"elastic" minded men. With such men there is alvayo the temp
tation to "let things slide." In long experience wojiave handled
no estate that could be settled without a firm grasp of every
detail and few, that did not call for definite "yes and no"
decisions.
V
4. "They are hopelessly conservative"
This we cheerfully admit. Without preaching, we earnestly
bejieve that the handling of other people's, money iar almost a
sacred matter. Nor would wo be long in business if we took
chances with the funds men leave their wives and children '
A Trust Company has every incentive to settle each estate
as quickly as the law allows for the following reason ; We do
not receive our commissions until our duties, are completed
and the Surrogate; put? his O. K. upon our work. - '
'V '
5 wi
6. "A Trust Company is expensive"
This is a mistaken impression which we havo often pointed
out. The fees for settling'' estates are the same whether, you
name a Trust Company or an individual as executor. Naturally
we cannot publicly cite, specific economics to heirs which
have been effected by our Trust Department. But we do say
that the settlement of an estate by an experienced Trust
Company is generally far more economical than when the matter
is left in the hands of well-meaning but inexperienced friends.
If you would like to sit down with, us and talk personally
about' the settling o your estate, please ask for a Vice
President or Manager in charge at any one of our" offices.
