GENEVA. May 8. Japan went
on record today as favoring a
strict interdiction of the use of poi
son gar In war. D. Matsuda. Jap
anese delegate to the League of
nations international conference
for the control of traffic lit arms
and munitions made this declara
tion in a speech ardently support
ing the proposal made yesterday
by Representative Theodore E.
Burton of Ohio, head of the Ameri
can delegation that all export of
poison gas tor use in war be pro
hibited. s .
The American proposal was re
ferred to two sub-committees, mil
itary and judicial. The Polish
amendment condemning the use
of disease bacteria In warfare, was
referred to the same committees.
Mr. Matsuda said that Japan is
already a party to the poison gas
agreement made during the Wash
ington arms conference and In pro
hibiting the exportation of poison
gas for war purposes It also should
be understood that such methods
of warfare are forbidden by Inter
national law. He urged the legal
committee to take up this aspect
of the problem thoroughly.
The Turkish delegation heartily
supported the American proposal,
but agreed with the-Hungarian del
egation that the rights of states
that do not manufacture gas to em
ploy gas If they are bo attacked
should be respected and their op
portunity fordefense should not
be removed by too rigid a ban on
exportation.
The San Salvador delegation
offered an amendment providing
that arms may be exported to any
government "that has been duly
constituted In accordance with the
provisions of the constitution in
forte In that country."
This, It was Bald, is Intended to
prevent civil strife by restricting
the. facilities for securing war sup
plies. The Chinese and Roumanian del
egate opposed the amendment.
The Chinese said It afforded an op
portunity for discrimination be
cause If any manufacturing coun
try disliked a new government in
any other country It could argue
that it was unconstitutionally or
ganized)) The Chinese said this
would be dangerous to Internation
al relations. Tho Roumanians de
clared that the league covenant
recognized the right of all coun
tries to procure means of defense.

Whether appeals to the supreme
court ehould be prefaced by con
cise statements showing the rea
son and justification for tho ap
peal. Whether stipulations for
additional time for hearing cases
on appeal should be limited to 30
days.
Whether dec'slons of lower
courts should be affirmed with
out lengthy discussiou on the part
of supreme justices in cases where
previous decisions covers the same
points.

president should have the support

"The United States senate in
Its exalrM egot'sm and power Is
the greatest obstruction to good

Colonel Wlgmore.
He deplored what he termed
"the growing habit of people rush
ing to congress to trv and have
laws ranted to force all the states
to follow certain ideas that some
group of people think is just the
thing.
Declaring federal laws make
for bureaucracy, he said "what
we should do Is to work towards
having the states voluntarily
adopt uniform acts, putting the
enforcement in the hands of the
state officers. One by one. the
states are .now adopting uniform
measures that are helping to solve
our problem of too many laws."
