RAGE QUESTION
FEARED MOST BY
YELLOW NATION
Object Less to Discussion of
Far East Than Immigra
tion to America.
By DUKE X. PARRY.
(Copyright, 1921, by International Xrw
Service.)
TOKIO, July IS. —Japan favors an in
ternational conference on disarmament
and Far Eastern questions and probably
would have called such a meeting herself
if conditions had been favorable, accord
ing to Councillor Hayasui of the foreign
office.
The foreign office attaches said Japan
is most anx:ous to know if Immigration
to South and Central America will be dis
cussed He added that he believed the
Tap Island and Shantung questions have
no place in the conference because suffi
cient time would intervene for direct ne
gotiations on those matters before the
Harding conference meets.
This is the ..first Interview from the
Japanese foreign office since President
Harding issued his call. The councillor
emphasized the fact that he was express
ing only his personal views, but, because
of his close relations with Viscount tchida
the foreign minister, it is believed th“
statement reflects the views of the for
eign minister.
PEAR QUESTIONS
OX IMMIGRATION.
After expressing his pleasure over the
movement inaugurated by President
Harding the Japanese official pointed out
that a general misunderstanding over the
Pacific question might cause dissensions
here. He said Japan wanted to know if
immigration questions affecting South and
Central America would lie taken up.
"As to Shantung peninsula and Yap
Island they have no place in the confer
ence," said Councillor Hayashi. "There
are three months yet before the conference
will take place. That la plenty of time to
conclude direct negotiations with America
and China. Shantung affects only China
and Japan. China should be left alone to
deal with Japan. That would be the best
way to serve her own Interests."
The correspondent brought up the
phrase whether “Japan would return the
■hell but keep the pearl.”
The official listened Impatiently and
then continued.
"I dislike to discuss a question that is
being settled. The foreign newspapers
are coloring their reports.
VOCLD HAVE
CALLhi) MEETING.
“It is unfair to say Japan did not want
this conference. We would have called It
ourseiTes if it had not looked too pre
sumptious on our part. We feared it
would look like a poor man asking a rich
man for charity.
“Japan desires eqnal opportunity Just
as America does. We feel it should be
applied universally In South add Central;
America as In China and elsewhere in
Alia."
It Is said the foreign oflTlre desires Pre
mier Hara to lieod the Japanese delega
tion to Wasnlngt'.n.
Belief was expressed that England
really inspired toe Eoufereme and that
there would be further consultations be- •
tween Washington and London before
America makes any further representa
tions to Tokio.
A section of the press, as w°U as cer
tain political leaders, favor a preliminary
settlement of the race question, aud the
"Shantung and Yi p issues preliminary to
the general cot.f-rence.
The newspaper Asah; says humanity
demands the same principles be applied
In the West as lu the Orient.
“Let America aad Great Britain notify
ns if there have bee® any irregular acts
by Japan toward China, but at the same
time the Western powers must correct
their own Irregular actions."
The opinion is expressed In foreipn
office quarters that Japan must be pre
pared to counter any action by the
United States cn racial rights and must
be prepared to advance claims that would
offset any coming from America.
Many names have been mentioned tn
connection with the personnel of the Jap
anese delegation, among them Count
Yamamoto, former premier and ’aler gov
ernor general of Korea.
ALARMED BY
PACIFIC QUESTION
LONDON, July 18.—It 1* reported on
the highest authority In Tokio that Ja
pan will accept unconditionally Presi
dent Harding's Invitation to an ir.ierna
tlonal conference In Washington, said an
Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Tokio
today.
Japan, added the dispatch, will discuss
Yap Island, the Sbantnng peninsula,
Siberia and Chira, but will reserve the
right to bring up the questions later
on.
According to the Exchange Telegraph
Viscount Maksni will be
one of the delegates from Japan.
•ji .rs jaeaui atu istec of marine was
quoted as saying that •'Japan cannot
afford nt to restrict naval competition.’"
The Pacific conference is causing
greater excitement in Japan than any
other international qnestion In years,
said a Tokio dispatch to the Daily Ex
press The correspondent added:
“Officials Bre thorougnly alarmed at
the inclusion of Far East questions. They
fear Italy amt France will support the
Vnited States at the expense of Japan.
They suspect an Anglo-American combi
nation that will bring pressure upon
Japan. Militarists are accusing Croat
‘Britain of ‘throwing Japan over.’”
LEAGUE NOT ASKED
TO ADJOURN
LONDON, July IS.—lt is taken as a
foregone conclusion that no action will
be taken that might embarrass President
Harding's disarmament and Far East
conference, in view of a statement made
Id the House of Commons this afternoon
by A. J. Balfour. Lord President of the
Council
Replying to a qnestion from Horatio
Bottomley. Mrs. Balfour said that it
would not be necessary to ask the League
of Nations to suspend its activities re
garding disarmament and Pacific Ocean
problems, for the league undoubtedly
considered the importance of President
Harding's proposed conference.
DENIES KING
I AS INTERVENED
LONDON. July 18—Premier Lloyd
George, replying to a question In Com
mons, this afternoon denounced as “pure
invention” a report that King George
had intervened to straighten out entangle
ments in the negotiations between Great
Britain and the Fnlted States regarding
the Far East conference.
NATIONS COULD
PREVENT WARS
LONDON, Juiy 18.—A combination of
Japan. Great Britain and the United
States will end war. Take Tanaka, a Jap
anese deputy, declared on his arrival here
today. Tanaka headed a parliamentary
committee visiting here.
“I hope conferences between the tbrer
nations will lead to an alliance which
will cause all our present problems to
vanish'' Tanaka said.
•'Let these three nations combine and
keep faith, and there will be no more
great wars.”

HA RDIXG REMO VES
TOKIO OBJECTION'S
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
WASHINGTON. July 18.-By inform
ing Japan that the stibjecta In detail
of the international conference on the
Far E; st and on disarm.iDient would
be fixed, not by the United States. but
by the members of the conference it
self. the Administration, it is believed
here, has removed the last obstacle to
Japan's full entrance 1,1,0 the conference.
In effect Mr. Hughes has told the Mi
kado's Government that Japan would have
as much to say about the scope of the
conference as would the United states
If Japan has more friends in the confer
ence than the United States, Japan will
say what may and may not be discussed
In tt.
If the Administration had attempted to
lay down the agenda for the conference, J
Japan might reasonably have said that
this country was arrogating too much
pewer to itself and might have declined
to participate. But all that this coun ,
try proposes Is that the great powers in- ,
terested in the Pacific get together and i
reach a better mutual understanding that
vx HI pronvtp peace.
lURP FOR JA.IAN
TO F EFUSE.
Presented in this light, the conference
has for Japan a most tnnoce-.t aspeof
I'. is difficult to refuse a meeting whi'h
for r other great powers desire and whose
object is better International understand
leg. On the strenetb of ths latest infer
matlon from Mr. Hughes Japan may turn
•o England, France, Italy and the United
States In an effort to define clearlv the
limits of the eotrlng Far Eastern .-enter
ence before it assembles or to arrange for
its limitation the moment It does m‘et
In Washington.
What is the background of the coming
conference? Is the whole question of
what it shall dlscu's and what it shall
not discuss a* open as the latest lnfor
mation sent from the State Department to
Japan would indicate? Has Mr Harding
asked for a conference without any under
standing with, f roexample. Groat Britain
nr.d France as Just what would be taken
up in the conference , and just whit the
positions of those Governments would be?
PRESIDENT, IN
LETTER, URGES
NO OIL TARIFF

as to threaten complete exhaustion insofar
as the American grades of oil urr 1 in gas
manufacture were concerned. Several of
the largest oil producing companies no
tided gas companies who had been their
customers for many years, ibat asstir
anee could not be given of a continurd
supply of this essential material an 1 it
became extremely difficult and in some
cases impossible for gas companies to ne
gotiate 'contracts for gas oil even at the
prohibitive and unprecedented prices that
prevailed.”
COST OF ASPHALT
WOULD ADVANCE.
“Shortage of homes cannot be over
come if greater cost burdens are added
to the building of houses through a tariff
on crude oil, which in turn is reflected
in the cost asphalt, now the most
wldely-nsed roofing material In America,'’
declared Herbert Abraham, New York,
chairman of the technical committee of
the Prepared Roofing Association, Phila
delphia. “During 1920 the total ship
ments of asphalt for roofing purposes
■were equivalent to 2 8.17,500,000 square
feet of roofing, and with an average of
1,000 square feet per dwelling these ship
ments were equivalent to roofing mate
rial for more than two and a half mil
lion homes,” continued Mr. Abraham.
"More than 75 per cent of the asphalt
used In the roofing Industry Is derived
from Mexican petroleum, and the result
of thiß tariff would be a direct Increase
In the cost of building," said Mr. Abra
ham further.
“More than 80 per cent of all high
grade city pavements In the United States
are of asphalt.” said J. E. Penuybacker,
Secretary of the Asphalt Association,
New York. “Practically every type of
pavement In city and coun'ry requires
asphalt In some form and the intensive
use of the automobile renders dustiest
highways almost a necessity. More than
80 per cent of the asphalt used east of
the Rocky Mountain States is derived
from Mexican petroleum,” continued Mr
Pennvba'kci*,' “KhiJ aa the pild-cont’ncnt
and gnlf oils- produce very dittle asphalt,
the imposition of this tariff would prac
tically throttle asphalt paving in the
United States ot else impose * great cost
turden. The Federal Government has
appropriated $275,000,000 to aid In the
building of good roads, and haa pending
in the Senate a bill which has already
passed the House of Representatives ap
propriating hundreihs of millions of dol
lars more. It is inconceivable that the
Federal Government should appropriate
these millions for highways and then In
terpose a serious obstacle for the carry
ing out of the good roads policy.”

SENATE TAKES
UP THE WORK OF
DECK CLEARING
Leaders Hope for Recess After
Fordney Tariff Is Sent to
Conmittee.
WASHINGTON, July 18—Senate lead
era bought to clear the legislative decks
today In a renewed effort for a summer
recess after the Fordney tariff bill is sent
to the Senate Finance Committee, follow
ing its passage Thursday by the House.
When the Senate reconvened. Senator
Sterling, Republican. South Dakota,
planned to call up for final action the
"anti beer bill.” Its early passage is
i predicted, a poll of the Senate having
! disclosed that but sixteen to twenty
| Senators are prepared to vote against it.
| Senator Norris, Republican, Nebraska,
hoped to have his bill for the creation
|of a $10,000,000 Federal corporation to
finanace agricultural exports supplant
' Sterling's bill, but Senators opposed to
\ the Norris measure are said to outnum
; her those who favor it and the “anti beer
' bill" is expected to be given the right-of
way.
TWO OTHER BILLS
FAVOR AGRICULTURE.
The Senate banking and currency com
mission is considering two other agricul
tural measures supported by the Senate
agricultural bloc, one to make the Sec
rotary of Agriculture a member of the
Federal reserve board and the other to
! Increase the limit that may be loaned by
Federal farm loan banks to farmers from
*10.000,000 to $25,000,000.
The agricultural block, numbering
twenty-two Republican and Democratic
Senators from southern and western agri
cultural States, are insisting that the
so-called farmer relief legislation. Includ
ing the ’'spperTlnehor ‘ anti-grain gam
bling bill," shall b* acted upon before
the Senate recesses or adjourns for ths
rest of the summer.
Another measure on which immediate
action is demanded is the Smoot-Sweet
bill for the creation of an independent
Federal veterans' aid bureau and ths re
organization of Government agencies for
the assistance of ex-service men. The
Senate Finance Committee is expected
to report this bill either today or to
morrow. It will resume consideration
of the Administration hill for funding
the $ 11,0 >0.000,000 foreign Indebtedness to
the United States.
BLANKET A! THORITY
IN FOREIGN LOANS.
Administration lenders are Intent upon
passing speedily this bill, which would
give the Administration blanket author
ity in dealing with foreign loans, ut it
may provoke a protracted debate, which
will seriously interfere with their recess
plana.
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, Is
seeking prompt action on his bill to
give American coastwise vessels free use
of the Panama Canal, which is also like
ly to prove a vehicle for extended debits
if it is taken op.
The "maternity bill" is one on the Sen-
Rte calendar <.tj which a vote is to bv I
taken soou. an unanimous consent agree
ment having been reached for final r
tlon on it on th tenth legislative dny
after June 30, which will probably come
this w ek.
HOUSE DON'S FIGHTING
TOGS IN TARIFF BATTLE
WASHINGTON, July IS.—The House
was putting on Its fighting toga todnv
as it fs.rned Into the home stret.-h of the
tariff battle.
O'l duties am before the House f..r
consideration, with n three-cornered fight
in pr .gross sr.d President Harding's tn
fiuence over Congress undr test The
President hss recommended that oil be
placed on the free Mat in order that
reclpro nl trade agreement negotiations
with Mexico shall not be embarrassed.
The bill, as rryortd out by the Wajs
and M. ins Committee, provides s duty
of 35 cents per barrel on erode oil anl
25 cents per barrel on fuel oil.
In the tug of war over this legislation
the Independent oil producer# from tlf
teen States, backed by ardent protec
tionists from other States, are lined up
against the American Interests in Mexi
can oil production and the users rs Mex
ican oil in the United States, who fear
advances in price of gasoline because of
the duty.
Representative Treadway of Maasachu
setts opened the fight against the o'l
duty. He declared this duty would add
n cent a gallon to fuel oil, 800.000,00 b bar
rels of which are used lu New England
mills annually and word be reflected In
$5,000,000 additional to costa of New Eng
land mill production.
The Massachusetts men were charged
by Representative Chandler, Oklahoma,
and other advocates of the duty on >ll
with inconsistency in demanding protec
tlon for everything produced in New Eng
land and free trade fer everything pro
duced outside New England, bus needed
by that section, such as oil, hides and
cotton.
Each side in the fight brought charges
against the other of maintaining huge
and costly lobbies at Washington to in
fluence legislation.
FEDERAL TAX LA TVS’
REVISION IS BEGUN

Just how much a three billion dollar tax
will yield, Is at work "guessing” the re
turn to tb Government under the various
tax proposals.
Starting of the work on revenue re
vision before the tariff bill has .been
passed means. Fordney said, that the tax
change will he speeded up.
Indications now are that the Senate will
shunt the tariff bill and wait for the reve
nue measure with the result that it will

FAIL TO ASK FOR
FIRE PRESSURE
Authorities, Firemen Blamed
by Water Cos. in Broad
Ripple’s $50,000 Loss.
Failure of the authorities of Broad
Ripple and Indianapolis firemen to notity
the Indianapolis Water Company of a
fire which caused $50,000 damage to the
Broad Ripple Lumber Company a yards
at Sixty-First street and thfc Monon rail
road Saturday night is blamed by water
company officials as the primary cause
of the big loss.
“The water company was not notified
of the fire." snid C. L. Kirk, vice presi
dent and manager of the water company
"We had at that time thirty pounds
domestic pressure, and had we been
properly notified we would have built up
fire pressure that would no doubt have
been entirely adequate for tbe require
ments
"The charge that has been made that
the heavy loss was due to lack of
adequate pressure Is unfair. We cannot
furnish fire pressure unless notified that
tbe fire exists.”
When the firemen from Broad Ripple
failed to extinguish the blase at the lum
ber company’s plant, a call was sent to
the Indianapolis department and fire
apparatus from this city was sent. These
firemen had trouble in reaching the scene
because of the condition of the streets.
The crowds returning from Broad Rip
pie Park were delayed on their homeward
trip because the car tracks were directly
in front of the lumber company. Some
children discovered the fire and notified
A U. Johnson, foreman of tho lumber
company, who lives across the street.
Carl H Buddenbaum, president of the
lumber company, placed the blame of the
heavy loss on poor water pressure. The
company had an unusually large stock
of new lumber, and this was destroyed
by the flames Mr. Buddenbaum said
he believed the loss would be covered by
insurance.
A fire destroyed a one-story frame
storage house at the Link Belt Com
pany plant, 530 King avenue, last night,
causing a loss estimated at $3,000. The
flames spread to a barn owned by George
Daupert, 550 King avenue. Dupert’s loss
was $1,500. The cause of the fire Is un
known.
