Bradford (United Nam Staff Comspondrat) Washington, Oct, 25, (U. P.) A new phase of Japanese-American relations' now under negotiation came forward today when it devel oped that the United States is trying to prevent Japan from obtaining control of n Important pact of the existing communication system to the Far East. , The. meeting of the five great powers now ln'progrssV In Washington prelimin ary to the international communications conference is a result of the United States seeking to internationalise the island of Tap, in the Eastern Pacific, so far as the island is used as a cable landing station, it was learned on high authority. Centering at Tap are three of the for mer great German cables: From Tap to Shanghai, China : from Tap to Guam, a cable and radio Island station owned by the United States, and from Tap te Menado. in the Dutch East Indies. coxcEBirED nr cable bights Japan claims , absolute ownership of Tap because the supreme council of the peace conference awarded her the for mer German islands in the Pacific north of the equator. The United States contends that Presi dent Wilson at the peace conference re served final decision as to the disposi tion of Yap. This country is not so much concerned over ownership of Tap, however, as It Is Insistent that the cable landing rights not be given to any one nation, believing that tnternaUonal communication should be unrestricted, f--f;; . m.-. TTnA atmfrm la understood "to fear that Japanese ownership of Tap would give Japan control oi tne uenaaB cables centering, there, regardless of what nation they are allotted to. would put Japan in a position which might en able her to block tne traaiuonai open door of China, so far as communication Is concerned, and tend to start Japan towards control of the Far East. 8TATEME3TT HELD SIOimriCAKT Where agreement cannot he reached for disposition of certain of the former German - cables, the United States may seek an agreement to have them.

Irvine, editor of The Journal, Portland, speak on the League of Na tions at the Baptist church Saturday evening. He made a warm plea for support of the issue. Judged by the Bank Account He Keeps A MAN'S ability to accumu late money is one of the standards by which the business and financial world de termines his worth. Therefore, one's best bit of evi dence is his bank balance. One whose pocket is his bank can only have the temporary sort of prosperity.

Remember this as you read ahd that some of us have the Courage. The other day a man came Into our store tnd looking wistfully at the'different models sild, "I really need a new suit, but ." "But whit?" asked the salesman. "Well, frankly I dread the crHicism of my friends. They tell me not to buy now, that everyone Is trying to unload through 'a sale' before prices go lower." s This is a sample of whaMs today in the mind of the average man in this section a result of the policy and custom of The System. It is these teeth of The System that sinks its fangs Into the common sense of men, which we propose to extract to free The Public of pessimism to rermlt the wheels of Progress to go merrily and pros perously forward for you and you and you. Therefore, if you are one of those within the grasp and the innocent "soat" of The System, press hope to your breasts and prepare for "The Evidence" and a proposition that I will make In a few days, whereby our interpretation of the Golden Rule will break your fetters and convince you that this is no time to preach or practice the doctrine -of "skimp -tnd save and deny oneself the necessities of life." I know the workings of The System. During 2 5 years actual experience I have accumulated complete knowledge of it how, by jts system of "sales" and "re-sales," it con tinually keeps the Public Mind in a state of confusion and uncertainty. I know it would be frivolous for me to come forward in this way with any ordinary propo sition. So you may expect a' really unprecedented thing in the history of post-war readjust ment periods when the instrument I shall use is ready for application to the proposition 1 shall make in a modern interpretation of The Golden Rule. My statement tomorrow will contain "The Evidence." a s!rl rife UIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIllIIIIlllIIIIIIBIIIIIIllIllffflllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllEIIIIIlfltinitlllllllllllfllfllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllH SCARCITY OF TELEPHONE, EQUIPMENT I PLATES $10 ' 'il'v WB GUARANTEE OVB, WORK Percelsln Crews S5.00 - Porcelain Filling Sl.OO , tSiK Gold Crowns ....S5.00 -tt-K Gold Bridge $5.00 ".:; '.'.-V Extraetlsg )j You can have an examination of - i!your teeth free of any charge or obli gation by calling at our office.

Old subscribers have asked for service at new locations. They have been told by our representa tives that immediate compliance with their desires was impossible, owing to lack of "telephone facilities" in a particular locality. "Why," one will say, the poles and wires are on the street and the house is already wired." We wish that the problem were as simple as it sounds. There may be poles and wires, but every wire may be in use in giving service to others. There may be a cable, but every circuit in it may be assigned to telephones already installed. There may be spare wires and circuits but no switchboard apparatus at the central office to which they can be connected. There may even be sec tions of switchboard but not available for operation on account of the lack of necessary accessories, such as ringing keys, relays, etc. The reason for the shortage of telephone equipment is simple. During the war period we were unable to maintain our reserve or stock plant as the same materials we use were required and taken for Government purposes and for industries properly favored bv the Government., Since the war, with the unexpectedly prolonged problems of reconstruction production and delivery of materials needed to meet even current demands have been delayed. Every business concern is having similar experiences. The manufacturers of telephone equipment have been bending every effort to fill our orders, but they in turn are meeting the same difficulties in securing Vubber, paper, silk, glass, porcelain, tin, thr'ead, shellac, metal parts and other articles -not generally associated in the public mind with telephone service. At the same time with this abnormal situation with reference to materials there exists an unprecedented demand for telephone serv ice, and even under these circumstances our record is one of ful fillment of demand. In the first eight months of this year we have added 6863 telephones in 'the state of Oregon. In the eight months prior to our declaration of war we gained 26S5 telephones. We desire to give service as much as a patron wishes to receive it. We desire to promptly comply with the suggestions of public authorities who have taken a proper interest in the situation. We are facing abnormal conditions, but we will Of necessity gradually overcome our difficulties., ' The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company vi', Sft ' a-, BlumaUer & Hoch Distributors, Entire Corner.
