JAPAN AGREE
ON K M CHOW LEASE
All Public Properties Are to
Be Restored.
OWE FEATURE IN DOUBT
Toklo lo He Allowed lo Retain Such
institution as Schools, Shrines
and Cemeteries.
WASHINGTON, D. C, IJec. 9. (By
the Associated Press.) An agreement
was reached late today by Chinese and
Japanese delegates for the return to
China of all public properties In the
Kiao Chow leasehold, subject to con
firmation by Toklo of one feature of
the agreement. Japan will be allowed
to retain such Institutions as schools,
shrines and cemeteries which are ex
clusively Japanese In character.
China on her part agrees to refund
all moneys spent on public properties
developed during Japanese occupation.
A proposal by the Japanese that China
compensate Japan for the develop
ment of the leasehold under the Ger
man regime was rejected by the Chi
nese delegates, and the proposal was
withdrawn by the Japanese, subject
to approval by the Toklo government.
Pact to Be Written Soon.
The agreement has not yet been
reduced to writing, but that is ex
pected Immediately and the subject of
public properties Is considered as
"concluded," a Chinese delegate said
tonight.
Before the final meeting of the day
was adjourned the Chinese obtained
from the Japanese an agreement that
consideration of railroad control and'
ownership In the leasehold would be
taken up as a resumption of the con
versations tomorrow.
Although discussion on opening the
port of Tsing Tao to the commerce
of the world on equal terms was be
gun late today, this subject will be
laid aside to permit of bringing up
the railroad question.
Railway Vital lunar,
If there Is a failure to agree to re
store to China complete control over
the railroad, a Chinese delegate said,
all of the agreements thus far reached
in settlement of the Shantung con
troversy will, of necessity, collapse.
After the discussion on Shantung
at two meetings today, the following
statement was issued by the Chinese
and Japanese delegations.
The Chinese and Japanese delegates
met in the governing board room, of
the Pan American Union building at
11 o'clock this morning and 3 o'clock
this afternoon. The discussion or.
public properties was completed. The
question of opening the port of Kiao
Chow was taken up and the salt in
dustry of Tsing Tao was tben dis
cussed. The meeting adjourned until
3:15 tomorrow afternoon.

CORK, Dec. 9. (By the Associated
Press.) Bishop Daniel Cohalan, in an
interview today on the subject of the
Anglo-Irish agreement, said:
"I think it Is a magnificent settle
ment and that our negotiators had a
great triumph to obtain such a peace.
Ireland has now obtained a system
under which she can develop her full

Cohalan said he thought that only

pendent republic or a free state in

rangements and the attempt to mak
up a $165,000 fund for this roadway ot
aid In the construction of a road out
side the limits of Multnomah county
is contrary to the constitution and
therefore void."
State Advances Money.
As the situation stands, it leaves
the state highway commission holding
the sack, for tlu; state body has al
ready advanced and spent most of the
money which Multr.omah county was
to contribute. The matter will un
doubtedly come up for consideration
at the next meeting of the state high
way commission, which is schedulea
for next week.
The estimated cost of the Mount
Hoop loop from the Multnomah line,
through Clackamas county to Zigzag,
where the forest road starts, was
$610,000. The highway commission
offered to match all moneys contrib
uted by Clackamas and Multnomah
counties for the loop road. Clacka
mas arranged to give $83,000. Mult
nomah county commissioners were re
quested by citizens and taxpayers in
mass meeting to provide $85,000 in
the 1922 budget and a similar sum
in the budget of 1923, to repay the
state for such sums advanced. The
highway commission offered to ad
vance Multnomah's share provided the
state would be repaid in 1922 and in
between Sandy and Zigzag. Follow
ing the request of the assembled tax
payers, the Multnomah commissioner!
pledged themselves to put an Item of
$85,000 in the 1922 budget. It is this
item which the tax conservation com
mission has disallowed.
Acting on he agreement with the
county, the highway commission has
graded the loop and bridges have been
put in and a contract has been award
ed to surface a long section with
crushed rock. All of the money spent
on the loop thus far has come from
the coffers of the state and Clacka
mas county, the state having gone
ahead under the belief that Multno
mah county would keep its pledge.
Keeping a Pledare Ursjed.
Among those present at the meet
ing of taxpayers were the members
of the tax conservation commission
They were asked at the time wha;
they thought of the arrangement,
whereupon Mr. Mulkey explained that
the commission was not officially
created yet and that, anyway,, the
members wished to reserve Judgment
until the time for passing on the
budget. Since the tax conservation
commission has been studying the
budget a delegation of taxpayers ap
peared at a public hearing and again
urged that the Item of $85,000 be left
in the budget.
W. M. (Pike) Davis reminded the
commission that Multnomah county is
morally bound to keep Its agreement
with the highway commission and "as
men of honor" the obligation could
not be disregarded. George Joseph
declared that the people of Mulano
mah are willing to have this money
spent in Clackamas county, knowing
that Clackamas county cannot afford
to build the road and that when com
pleted the loop will be of greater
benefit to Multnomah county and to
Pomland than it will be to Clacka
mas Mr. Joseph also directed the
attention of the tax supervisors that
tl.ere has been passed a specific law
wnich enables Multnomah county to
spend its money outside the county
limits and that this law was passed
with the express object In view of
mablinc Multnomah county to aid

leagues for a reduction permitted the
item of $350,000 to remain in the
county budget for hospital construction.
The tax commission voted to reduce
the number of nurses In the county
hospital from 25 to 20, thus effecting
saving of $914 a year; one chore-
man" at the hospital was dispensed
with and the wages of carpenters were
reduced from $8 a day to $i.20, which
is the union scale.
Service Allowances Cut.
Cut of $9500 in personal service
totals in the sheriffs office, including
the criminal, jail and tax depart
ments; $1020 in the district court;
$1400 in the assessor's office, and
$2882.50 in the constable's office were
ordered by commission because it was
stated that inatach office the amount
paid in salaries had been increased to
the tune of the sums ordered stricken
from the budget over the statutory
limit.
Chairman Mulkey took a fling at
the tax office, holding that he could
nqt understand the need of such a
large permanent force when the peak
load in this office occurred only twice
each year. It was decided by the
commission that this question would
be the Bubject of future investigation.
Severe criticism was directed at the
school board because of failure to
present a budget calling for needs of
the school district during the next
12 months. It was said by members
of the commission that the so-called
budget presented was not a budget
in fact, because It was obvious that
the school first ascertained how
much money could be raised under the
tax limitation and then prepared a
budget to fit this sum.
Consideration Is Refused.
Chairman Mulkey said ne would not
attempt, to consider a budget so pre
pared, and while he recognized that
the school board did not have suffi
cient money In Its budge, to cover
any capital outlays for new construc
tion, it was incumbent upon the board
to effect such economies that will
permit the use of some of the money
allowed for new buildings.
The tax commission removed an
item of $50,000 found in the debt levy
to cover the cost of street improve
ments, new sewer and sidewalk con
struction and decided to include this
Item In the expenditure side of the
budget. The total amount of money
which the school board 3an raise un
der the tax limit will be computed.
If the commission allows this sum.
It is probable It will include in its
report a request that an actual budg
et of proposed expenditures for 1923
be presented next fall.
The tax commission has practically
completed its work and wi'l meet to
day for the purpose of certifying to
the various budgets. Under the law
the work of the commission must be
completed by December 10.

Their task has not been made easier
by the presence here of representa
tives of the rival government of
Canton.
Another point of serious disagree
ment, as yet practically untouched by
the conference, is Manchuria. So, some
of the Japanese at least were said to
feel that their government should not
move hastily to scrap her warships
and her alliance with Great Britain
until she has seen clearly what Is to
be the outcome of the Washington
deliberations on the far east.

SENATOR POIXDEXTER WARNS
AGAINST LAXITY IN PACIFIC.
Strong Stations in Hawaii, Guam
and Philippines Declared
K-MMitial to America.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BCJtEAU,
Washington, D. C, Dec. 9. Notwith
standing any agreement made by the
Lnited States with regard to the lim
itation of naval armaments, Senator
Poindexter of Washington, ranking
majority member of the senate naval
affairs committee, finds' nothing in
the proposals so far considered by
the arms conference to warrant lax
ity by the Unifed States in the main
tenance of adequate naval bases in
the Pacific.
In a statement issued today. Sen
ator Poindexter emphasized the im-,
portance in his opinion of this coun
try having strong naval stations in
the Philippines, in Guam and in Ha
waii. He said:
"A mutual understanding by the
parties to the peace oonference as to
the policies of each in tEe orient un
doubtedly should tend to promote per
manent peace. I do not understand
that it is probable, however, that
either Japan or the United States will
entirely disarm on this account. If
not, the question of naval issues is as
important as that of ships.
'Ir. Hughes' programme includes
the maintenance of naval power and
in order to utilize this it is necessary,
of course, to have shore stations and
naval bases. Without them in the
Philippines and in Guam, as well as
in Hawaii, we would be at a very
great disadvantage as compared with
any olher power, such as Japan, which
has several highly defended and com
pletely equipped naval bases In that
area.
"In other words, if there is to be a
limitation of shore defenses, as well
as of ship tonnage, it necessarily
should be applied to all of the parties
to the agreement and not simply to
the United States."

Describing the Kapp revolution.
General Ludendorff admitted he had
several conferences with Kapp, but
asserted they were merely In the na

The general emphasized the sin
cerity with which the bolshevist dan

fear was used to camouflage the
revolution. A letter from Herr von
Dewitz. a well-known Pomeynian

RUMORS ARE KNIFED
Atmosphere on Situation Is De
clared to Have Been Cleared
by Japanese Statement.
x BY ADACHI KINNOSUKE.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 9. (Spe
cial.) In order to clarify the atmos
phere on the naval ratio question,
Admiral Kato was asked tonight
whether It was to be decided inde
pendent of the question of naval
bases in the south Pacific and this
was his answer:
.'As I have said repeatedly, It (the
naval ratio question) will be decided
Independently of naval bases."
This disposed of innumerable dis
cussions and statements which have
grown around the question as faras
the official pronouncement on the
theme was concerned. This was more
than important. It was decidedly In
teresting. For this statement of the
baron was In direct contradiction to
practically all the views of the tech
nical students of the situation and
they are naval authorities, most of
them, of England, of America and of
Japan.
'avalJExperts' Views Cited.
It has been repeatedly pointed out
by these naval writers and authori
ties that if America were to estab
lish naval bases at Guam and in the
Philippines ample and efficient enough
to accommodate and repair a super
dreadnought battle fleet of the United
States, under the proposed naval ratio
of 5-5-3, it would mean that practi
cally the 600,000 tons of American
capital ships and the corresponding
tonnage of auxiliary ships would be
based within 1360 sea miles of Yoko
hama, or within 1743 miles in the
case of the Philippines. And if these
bases were well equipped with food
and fuel depots, then It would mean
that In the unthinkable case of a
difference between the two Pacific
powers Japan would be called upon
to defend the country with her 300,000
tons of capital ships and the corre
sponding auxiliary ships. That 's
supposed to spell a very serious sit
uation from the standpoint of the
naval defense of Japan.
Another Problem Comlderrd.
If on the other hand, the American
fleet did not have any bases equipped
with docks and repair shops capable
of refitting and repairing the super
dreadnought ships, then the situation
would be entirely different. For as
pointed out by Rear Admiral Niblack,
U. S. N., in his estimate of fuel con
sumption on a trans-Pacific cruise of
a large fleet of fighting ships the
American capital ships fleet would
find itself practically without fuel
and without food Just about the time
It reaches the theater of fighting.
It is this sort of consideration evi
dently which made the author of
"sea power in the Pacific" declare:
"The enormous expanse of the Pa
cific makes base power and large
steaming radius the dominating fac
tors in the strategical problems of
the ocean." In view of these things,
the statement of Baron Kato has the
greatest possible significance.

WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec. 9.
Plans for reorganisation of the ma

United States as a complement to the
budget system are nearing comple

Browa, chairman of the special gov
ernment commission charged with the

erable rearrangement of government
bureaus and establishments.
After its presentation the report
will be placed before the cabinet for
discussion and. If agreed upon, will
be sent to congress with a supporting
message. It was indicated today that
many difficulties had been raised by
the suggestion for consolidation of
some government offices and diminu

others, but that the framers of the
report had proceeded with their work
regardless of objections when they
were considered unjustified.

Japanese people favored unconditional
return of former German holdings in
Shantung to China, were features of
an address made here by D. Tagawa,
a member of the Japanese parliament
at the annual meeting of the Inter
national Reform bureau.
Mr. Tagawa, who is a leader of the
anti-militarists in Japan, indorsed
the plan as outlined by Secretary
Hughes, and added:
"I cannot, however, help feeling
that the 500.000 tons for America, the
500.000 tons for England and 300.000
tons for Japan leave too heavy a
burden upon the people of our three
countries. The reduction Is Inade
quate. The armament taxes will still
prove too great a weight. I had
hoped that Mr. Hughes would suggest
an even more drastic cut. In this
feeling I am not alone."
He expressed confidence that Japan
and the other nations attending the
conference would give up extra ter
ritorial rights in China and with
draw all of their postal systems.
"These rights so manifestly belong
to China." he ' said, "that I wonder
why she has not demanded them be
