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.
