Balfour Says Tories Will Sup
port Plan for Arbitration
With America.
DILLON DOES NOT AGREE
Irish leader Pay Grej'i Proposal
Makes "o ProTlslon for Small
Nations Japan Has GlTrn
Opinion on Project.
LONDON". March 1.-Slr Edward
Crr'i Indorsement of Fresldent Tafl'a
arbitration suKjrestlon was seconded
with cheers in the House of Commons
todar tjr A. J. Balfour, the leader of
the opposition, who. In the course of
bis speech, declared that be saw no
difficulty in the war of carrying out
such an arrangement between this
country and the United States. Mr.
lialfour said:
Ths late itovemment did its best to
carry out an arbitration treaty with the
United States I hope there Is a ren
eral feeling- in America that the time
has come when these two great coun
tries may at least be bound by treaty
to refer all qurstlons wlch would possi
bly produc anything so horrlMe as a
war between them, to soma arbitration
tribunal.
The Secretary for Foreign Affairs will
find no heartier friends of such a policy
than those of the Unionist party."
-. Irl.oh Member Dissents.
The first break In the chorus of itc
proral which greeted S"r Edward Grey s
appeals In the House of Commons came
from John Dillon, membr for Kast
Mayo, who described Sir Hdward's
speech as a gicantlc red herring, most
successfully drawn across the path of
l!c-usslon or the naval estimate.
There was, he said, nothing different
la the Grey proposals from what ap
peared in the treaty Lord Salisbury tried
to negotiate with tha United States. -cept
creation of an offensive, defensive
and coercive alilance against other
powers.
He doubted whether this would be
found advantageous.
The proposals made no provisions for
small nationalities struggling for Jus
tice or seeking freedom. They referred
aly to mighty empires, which wera in
vited to combine for the purpose of
coerclrg others who would not submit
to arbitration.
Japan's Opinion AkeJ.
An effort waa made In the House of
Commons today to ascertain tha views
of the Japanese government on Presi
dent Tafts suggestion of an American
British general arbitration arrangement,
but Sir Kdward Grey declined to reveal
them.
The Foreign Secretary admitted that
the government at Tos.lo haa been made
aware of the British government's views
on tha subject, but he said to lay Jap
an's answer on tha table of tha House
sroald ba premature.
BALLING ER CASE EXAMPLE
Solon Mentions ei-Serretary In Cry
Against Appointive Officials.
SACRAMENTO. March 1. Richard
K. Rail. near. ex-Secretary of the In
terior, was held up to the California
-?en.we today as an example of what
appointive power means. Tha instance
was cited by Senator Shanahan (Dem.)
In deb.it over a proposed constitu
tional amendment providing that tha
offices ef railroad commissioners shall
be arpotnttve by the Governor Instead
of elective. a now provided. The
amendment was carried by a vote of
31 to and now goea to the people for
ratltv-atlon.
"We do not have to confine our at
tention to the state to see how ths
appointment of public officials In high
places operates." said Senator Shana
han. 4Ve may cite an example from a
hlcher source the Cabinet of tha
President of the United States.
"For yeara past Secretary BalMnger
has not been acceptable to the people
of the country and for years President
Taft held htm in office. There was no
way by which tha people could reach
him: no way by which tha public mind
could operate.

would sink Chli-aao back Into the

"Hearst's sC"ptarce cf Harrison and

Some of the radicals of the United So

have that crcanlsat'on cf se.eoe to 0.

TS Harst papers are dome their

to give the Impression that if Merrlam
becomes Mayor he will close down on

self plainly on the question. He an

with good order, that he believes In

It la nlaln Chicaa-o is not in favor of 1

not lifting their hands In aid of Harri

tion. Andrew J. Graham, polled 9.000
votea at the prlroarlea. Many of these
voters will go over into the Merrlain
column on account of the persistant and
bitter attacks made by the Hearst pa
pers snd by Harrison on Graham and
his backers.
Ilarrl.son Xot Weak.
It Is not to be presumed from all this
that Harrison Is not a strong candidate.
Aa the situation stands today, the race
la a close one. The advantage may
even lie with the e-Mayor. Many lead

has proved a good campaigner and it
is yet to ba disclosed that ha has lost
his cunning In that direction.
His campaign cry for TO-cent gaa" is
a good one. If the results of the pri
maries may be cited In evidence. There
Is no real reason why he should ba pre
ferred to Merrlam on this score. Gas
will be Just as cheap under Merrlam as
