THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON TUESDAY, JULY M, 1W1. I JAPAN LIKELY TO AVOID RACE ISSUE IN DIRE FORM 1 ) By Dsvld Liwreie (CopyriSht. 1,21. by The JoUMl) Washington, July 26. Japan is ready to accept America' invitation to partici pate in the disarmament conference. In accepting the invitation. Japan does -not bind herself to discuss anything which she wishes to exclude from the cope of the conference, such as ques tions relating to Shantung and Tap, or Other matters which Japan may consider to have been closed by the time the cob ference begins. m America has not specified what sub jects will be discussed except in a gen eral way disarmament and peace in the Far East. These statements from offi cials of our government, who are tn touch with the negotiations, describe the Status of interchanges between Japan And the United states thus far. JAPAX 18 CAUTIOUS J Our government originally asked all the powers informally if an invitation to -a disarmament conference would be ac ceptable. That is diplomacy's way of avoiding a direct turn-down. The in formal inquiries resulted in agreeable statements from all the powers and for mal invitations were promptly sent. JV&pt&n IB JUBl nuw replying iiuuniiaii j that an invitation would be acceptable. , After that a formal invitation must be & sent and a formal reply received. Japan ' .I'ltii., 1 1.' uatitarl 1r bHAi urh u-rvntH lpe discussed at the conference and Amer ica politely said that was something all the powers, including Japan, would de cide when once the invitations were ac jcepted all around. ' Bo when Japan accepts America's In vitatfon the real discussion begins as to what shall be included or excluded. AMERICA'S VIEWPOINT The "Agenda." which is the diplomatic .term for program, will have to be set tied before the conference begins. It will be the aim of the United States to make this agenda as broad as possible, so that every question having a practical relationship to the future peace of Far JCaat may be discussed. It will be to IrJitspsn's interest to avoid discussion of rer rights in China as granted her by the Versailles pact and previous treaties with China. Dispatches from London and other capitals predicting that Japan would raise the question ot immigration and demand a declaration in 'favor of racial equality as she did at the Paris con ference are regarded here as inspired by newspapers rather than the Japanese government for officials say the Japanese go verm. lent hasn t raised any sucb issue Inasmuch as the agenda win be ar ranged by cable ahead of time and with in the realm of .secret Interchanges, the prospects are that by the time the pro jlpram is announced the racial discrim ination question will have been disposed of so that it will not be an obstacle to 'the conference. 'QUESTION OF PRIDE It will be far easier for Japanese . Jbublic opinion to understand the com plete omission of the racial equality issue Ahan to have the great powers discuss huch a moot point, and be forced to the "expression of varying opinions, jf Japanese pride would rather not have the powers discuss such a question. The 'Japanese consider themselves racially .the equal of any other race and to pe tition for a declaration on the subject might seem to be expressing a doubt "whether such a right of equality is actually possessed. Japan gains more In the long run by assuming that she Is the equal racially of any other na tion and insisting upon rights of equal ity than by raising the subject In a world conference. It would be the same If the United States or any power pe titioned a world conference' to declare 'That America was a sovereign state. DIPLOMACY WATCHWORD The chances are that notwithstanding " ipMnr efforts that are being made to be cloud the disarmament conference with extraneous questions before it begins, the Japanese will confine their atten tion to matters of commercial oppor tunities in the Far East and avoid im migration subjects which can best be dealt with by direct agreement between the individual powers eauallv interested. The American government holds that immigration is a domestic question and . as such hardly debatable. Its economic ana not political aspects are uppermost. -The last immigration bill has revo.leH ths desires of the American government to protect its workers from the cheap labor or an races and that right of eco nomic protection will neve be submitted to an international conference by the Marqing administration. New that Japan is ready to enter the conference, the next step in the "agenda" is what questions will be on it The success of the entire disarmament con ference depends upon the skill with which the problems are submitted for discus Mb the exact phraseology used and the principles enunciated. Secretary Hughes eager to get ft that part of the 'Just ness and as soon as Japan's acceptance is here within the next 24 hours he will begin to draft-a pro -am of suggestions.

FARM AND LABOR POLITICIANS ON TRACK OE FORD By Mobsrt J fiud tfwm Staff Washington, July IS. Political astrol ogers, with whom every up to date ad ministration these days is absolutely equipped, announced discovery of an Important phenomena In America's po litical and industrial skies. They see Henry Ford moving Increas ingly rapidly and- evermore brightly through the path of their visions. They further report that the Ford star Is showing marked attraction to numer ous other bodies, such as the agricultural element snd labor. From one of these students, whose name. If It could be used In connection with this story, would emphasise the Importance being attached to the phe nomenon, comes this prediction : "Ninteen hundred twenty-four will see Henry Ford a potential presidential can didate, enjoying an almost complete sup pert of a very strong farmer and labor sympathy." HE IS IX DEPENDENT The fact that Ford, personally is poli tically Independent and always has es poused ideas reather than party plat forms, naturally tends to strengthen him with the two most Independent classes in the American body politic the farm ers snd industrial workers. Both of these classes today are, generally speak ing, unhappy and more or less distrust ful, into this situation comes Ford playing the following roles: 1. Against the pig bankers, for whom both labor snd the farm element bold considerable eeeetment because of their conditions. Ford recently has won a spectacular victory la scorning a warn ing that ho must accept Wall street's help and going ahead to prove that such help was not necessary His big De troit stent was the first to "turn the corner" away from Industrial depres sion, and today Is said to be tv i"g out more cars every 14 hours than at any time in Its history. 2. Espousing the cause of peace and prosperity promised as a result of Inter national disarmament a cause enthusi astically Indorsed by farmers and work ers throughout Use country, Ford has announced his purpose to turn the spot light of publicity on those bankers and others who might seek to block the suo- cess of the- armament -conclave. BATES THEM MONEY S. Having gives to the farmers an au tomobile and a cheap tractor to lighten their burdens, Ford now proposes his anprecedentedly bold project of .Mng over the Mussel Shoals nitrate plant In order to supply cheap fertiliser to the agricultural sections ; and further 'pro poses to place agricultural representa tives on the directing board of his plant to see that his personal profit Is limited to 10 per cent 4. Having; purchased one small rail road snd promptly lowering freight rates for the benefit of Michigan fruit grow ers, be contemplates getting additional railroad property and finds his course so applauded that agricultural organisa tions at several points have wired Presi dent Harding urging Ford's appointment as director general of railroads. In conclusion, this political prophet pointed out Ford is becoming Increas ingly wealthy and Increasingly powerful. The late J. P. Morgan left a fortune estimated at $60,000,000, while Ford's annual income now exceeds the Mor gan fortune. So those whose business It Is to watch political straws for the present admin istration, nave a new hot weather worry. They see awesome political possibilities tn the jitney king's vast activities.
