WHAT WILL JAPAN GET

IN WAR VEXES MANY
' Washington Barma of Ti? Journal.)
Washington, Oct. 12. When a state
retires h senator and sends to Wash
ington a new man to fill that post,, it
loses more than the voters in " general
an well appreciate. It displaces an
experienced and effective legislator,
tndinK In his place a man who has
to "learn the ropes" and who lacks
the inestimable advantage of prestiye
due to seniority.
In case the man . displarced belongs
to the dominant party and the man I
who succeeds him belongs to the min- I
"rity party, the loss of effectiveness I
is greatly Increased, for the minerity 1
is unable to do anything of value, and I
even in obstructive tatties it can avail
little.
Take tbe case of Oregon. Senatbr
Chamberlain, who is a candidate for
reelection, is a member of the ma
jority the all powerful, as well as re
sponsible, majority. He Is a member
of the following committees: Military
affairs, (chairman); appropriations,
commerce, territories, public lands,
agriculture and forestry. ,
Importance of Position. ,
This may not mean much to the
voter who is not versed In the meth
ods of legislative procedure, and it
would take considerable space to ex
plain fully the great importance to the
state of Oregon to have a senator on
committees which shape legislation af
fecting the development of its water
ways, the disposition of its public
lanids, the appropriation of public J
funds, the laws pertaining to the army
and national defense, agricultural and
"forestry matters, interstate and for-,
eign commerce and territorial affairs.
It was through his membership on the i
latfr r committee, territories, that Sen
ator Chamberlain had the opportunity,
in a large measure, of shaping the bill
for the construction of the Alaska
railroads. i J
Suppose a Republican should come
here; what chance would he have?
'lake a strong man like La Kollette,
for instance. His committees include
forest reservations and the protec- j
tion of game, of which he is chair- !
man, and which has hardly had a meet- j
ing during the session; claims, coast
defenses, disposition of papers in the
executive departments, expenditures in j
the war department, risneries, Indian
affairs, irrigation. Philippines, public
buildings and grounds. He fared bet
' ter than be would have done had not
the maloritv been courting his favor.
He was given a chairmanship, but j
Senator La Follette's voice has seldom J
been heard in this session. As a mem-
lier of the minority he Is almost pow- ;
erless. !
Tew Republicans Placed.
Most of the Republican members ot ,
the senate have no chairmanship at all. j
Take Senator Root, of New York, '
whose ability none questions. He has
nr chalrmanshirj and his committees.
which call for very little of his time
so that he Is absent from Washing
ton much of the time, include Can
adian relations, coast defenses, foreign
relations, industrial expositions, Judi
ciary, library, public health and na
tional quarantine.

Central Oregon
Canal for Sale
Senator Chamberlain Submit Prop
osition Prom Private Company to Ex
pedite Completion of Project.
f Washington Bueau of Tbe Journal.)
Washington, Oct. 12. Senator Cham
. berlain has submitted to Secretary
Lane a proposition of the Central Ore
gon Irrigation company to sell to the
United States and the state of Oregon

War Experts Think She
Hang Onto Everything She
Has Laid Hands Upon,
(Doited PreM Leased Wire.)
Shanghai, Oct. 12. If Japan, assum
ing that the allies win, gets nothing
out of its war with Germany, the far
east is going to be very much sur
prised. Yet how can it get anything if it ad
heres to the program it is announced,
is a -question very" frequently asked.
I The answer generally is that it can
not, and consequently that tbe pro
gram will not be adhered to.
When the Tokio government ' de
clared hostilities, it not only stated
that it wanted nothing from China,
but said it intended to give Klao Chau
back to the Chinese after taking it
away from the Germans.
It was also "understood" to say
that it would confine its operations to
the Asiatic mainland and to Chinese
and Japanese waters, leaving Ger
many's Pacific insular possessions
strictly alone.
German Island Seised.
Later Foreign Minister Kato denied
that this latter statement was made,
asserting that the mikado had intend
ed all along to attack the Germans
wherever it found it necessary to do
so to protect its own or its allies'
shipping. v
The denial and explanation from-the
foreign minister were, the sequel to the
Japanese seizure of certain German
islands which it had been supposed,
on the strength of what the Tokio gov
ernment was understood to have said,
that the mikado would keep His hands
off from.
Kato did add, however, that the Jap
anese would not keep Tthese islands
permanently, but only until the end of,
the war. ' j
Now, if Japan is going to take noth- j
ing away from China, is going to re-1
turn Kiao Chau to the Chinese and t
holds none of Germany's islands after
the war is over, what large numbers
of residents of the orient would like to
know is, why is it in the war at all?
It is recognized that the Tokio and
London governments were bound to
gether by a treaty, but nobody here
believes. the Japanese would have gone
so far as to take up arms or that the
allies would have expected them to
take up arms without the tacit under
standing that they were to have their
share of the spoils of the war, or at
least, compensation for. their expenses.
One suggestion is that they will be
paid for their services in cash, per
haps with a comfortable profit. Skep
tical people doubt this, however. They
point out that while Japan is poor
and unquestionably would find a lump
sum acceptable, there is no likelihood
that it would get its money back ex
cept in comparatively small install
ments stretched over a long period of
time. And it is argued that Japan is
in no financial condition to make an
investment of this sort.
Another theory is that the Japanese
will be granted such rights and priv
ileges in Canada and Australia as they
would like to enjoy in the United
States, but the immediate answer to
this is that tbe imperial British gov
ernment would never dare to antagon
ize the Canadians and Australians by
committing them to such an arrange
ment. The guess is here that what
the Japanese take they will hold on to
and will be permitted by the allies to
hold on to indefinitely.
