Waahtnctsn. Nov. 14. British and Jap-
ass dsUfStlons devoted Sunday ta tha
preparation of lUUmtDU to b mad at
Taoadajr'a confrencs accepting; ths pro
posals act forth by Secretary Hughe,
la tha last 24 hours there have been
frequent Interchanjree of views on the
part of Arthur Balfour and Baron Kato,
who It Is stated, will respectively voice
tha adherence of their delegations to the
broad principles of the American plan.
Tha British brought over with them
a plan. In the hands of Lord Lee
. of Pareham. a set of proposals not so
different from those of Mr. Hughes.
That plan of scaling down fleets and
limiting future building will not be
submitted, since the Americana have
.stepped In and put their pro peal pub
licly before the whole world.
That certain conditions and reserva
tions will be made Is not unlikely. That
Is the, point being most busily debated
la The British and Japanese quarters to
- day, not only among the naval advisers,
but among the boss statesmen them
selves. , MAT MODIFT DETAILS
- They are trying to do two things not
asy to work out together. One Is to
modify certain details of the Hughes pro
posal. The other Is to avoid giving the
public the Idea they are stalling. Mr.
Mughea announced with some vigor yes
terday that our government would not
' stand for plausible pretexts for delay.
The modification that seems most to
tha front la expressed In comment on
tha clause that "It be agreed that the
first replacement tonnage shall not be
laid down until 10 years from the date
of -agreement.
The argument Is that In this decade
all navel plants will tall Into disuse and
the highly skilled artlssns would become
absorbed In other Industries. Tha amend
ment being considered Is that, while the
scale laid down by America la accepted,
tha replacement might be extended
ver the 10 years sufficiently to keep
Some plant In operation.
WISH FOR LLOTD GEORGE
There are those In British circles who
wish the prima minister were here. They
feel that he, the most agile of politicians.
wouio not remain on tns defensive, or
run any risk of seeming lukewarm, but
would find a way of seeming to go even
further than the Americans. Nobody.
these Englishmen say. Is eo quick as
Lloyd George In changing an embarrass
ment Into an opportunity. Nobody Is so
prompt at recognising the inevitable,
which the American government. In this
ease, has written In large letters on the
wan.
The Japanese, to tell the simple under
lying truth, are not worrying at all about
tha Hughes program. Tney smelt some
thing of the sort coming and began
to prepare their people for It weeks
ago. They will dicker a ilttle, perhaps,
.. but they will give the Impression of gen
- srous acceptance.
What they are putting their real work
On Is the other half of the agenda of this
w meeting. They are wondering what tha
American -government has in Its hip
"pocket about China and the Far East.
If the Japanese can prevent an srree-
ment bl'n the United States and
Great Britain that will end strictly
limited special privileges In China, they
' will have won what they came over
, hers for.
TREATT BIG IfJK
They care lees about armament, be
. causa they know that It Is extremely un
' likely that either Japan or the United
States can successfully attack the other
across the rarlflc ocean. If war should
' corns It would In any case be a struggle
f .diplomacy for one or the other bellig
erent to attach to Its side the remaining
, of tha three navel powers.
That brings them, always, right up
against the treaty, between Britain and
Japan.
Tha Japanese went to save that treaty

URGED
HOLD
LOIR TAX IS
TO
CHINESE TRADE
Washington. Nov. 14. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
Concessions to Atnerican corporations
engaged in taade In the possessions of
the United States and in China became
one of the main points of contest in the
tax bin.
The finance committee, backed . by
Secretary of State Hughes and Secre
tary of Commerce Hoover and by Cham
bers of Commerce of the Pacific Coast,
fought for deduction of corporation taxes
for firms receiving more than 80 per
cent of their gross Income or more than
50 per cent In active trade in China or
the American possessions.
Against this Senator La Follette, Sen
ator Hitchcock and others waged unre
lenting warfare. They asserted that it
is wrong to discriminate In a tax bill be
tween corporations engaged In one trade
or another; that this might be a cloak
for adding to profits to big corporations,
and an entering wedge to other forme
of "subsidy" In the foreign trade.
Defenders of the measure asserted that
China occupies a special position in com
merce, because governed by extra terri
torial laws, and that American firms
cannot make headway there agalinst
British and other foreign traders who
enjoy deductions for taxes paid In China.
They asserted that the object Is merely
to equalize the trade opportunity of the
American with the foreigner.
L0BBTI5G BE5IED
Senator Smool pointed out tha im
mense growth of American trade: In
China, from J56, 000,000 in 1904 and $80.
000.000 In 1914. to $211,000,000 In 1919.
America cannot hold this trade, now
that other countries are returning to a
competing basis, he said, unless Amerl
can traders are relieved from what he
described as a system of double taxa
tlon.
Senator Hitchcock wanted to know
"What Is this Chinese lobby" that was
able to obtain a favorable report from a
senate committee for a "subsidy T' He

San Francisco, Nov. 14. Will the pop
ularity of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle on
the screen prove a bar to securing an im
partial Jury to try him for manslaughter,
was the first question which arose as the
task of securing "12 men good and true'
to determine his responsibility for the
death of Virginia Rappe opened In su
perior court here today.
J. C Medley, the first orosoectlve
juror, after being questioned as to his
knowledge of the case and his acquaint
ance with attorneys for the defense, was
asked :
"Are you a motion picture fan?"
The juror plead guilty to a love for
movies, and then was asked :
Do you think Roscoe "Fatty" Ar
buckle is the greatest comedian of the
screen?"
FAVOKS CHAPLI2T
No, I think Charlie Chaplin Is way
ahead of him," Medley replied as the
court room broke Into laughter, and Ar
buckle smiled broadly.
After stating that he could give due
weight to circumstantial evidence, the
Juror was passed for cause by 'the state.
Gavin McNab, early in his question
ing, developed that the defense believes
the activities of the Woman's Vigilant
committee has prejudiced the chances of
their client for a fair trial.
Medley was asked whether he had dis
cussed with the women members of his
family the actions of this committee and
he replied that he had not
McNab then asked if he would be in
fluenced by such a "mob formation." On
objection from the state McNab changed
mis to "vigilant formation. '
SO DELAY ASKED
Arbuckle, nattily dressed in blue, and
wearing a sunny smile, arrived in court
shortly after 10 o'clock.
Calling of his case was delayed a few
minutes when a Chinaman, convicted of
murder, came up for sentence. Judge
Louaerback continued the case.
Mrs. Arbuckle accompanied her hus
band into court charmingly attired in
navy blue dress, trimmed with sauirrel
fur, and wearing a jaunty fur hat Her
motner. dressed in dark blue, was with
her. They took seats in the audience.
Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Arbuckle also arrived
and took seats with them.
When the case was called at 10:15
clock District Attorney Brady, for the
state, and Gavin McNab of the defense
announced their readiness to proceed.
THREE WOMEN CALLED
Judge Lpuderback ordered the jury
roll called.
McNab asked what disposition was to
be made of the manslaughter indictment
also pending against Arbuckle, and As
sistant district Attorney u'Ren replied
tnat it would be continued from day to
day.
District Attorney Brady then an-
nouneed that the state proposed to try
AroucKie on the police court charge and
outlined briefly the procedure of the
police court hearing which resulted in
Arbuckle s being held for manslaughter.
in tne first 12 Jurors drawn for tenta

The defense sustained its first set

U. S. WILL DEMA5D END
TO ALLIANCE, PREDICTED
By A. L. Bradford
United Prtn Stiff Correspondent
' (Cooyrisht. 1921. by United . Press)
Washington, Nov. 14. The Anglo-
Japanese alliance must be scrapped.
This, it was learned on high authority
today, will be the stand of the United
States government when problems of the
Pacific and the Far East are taken up
by the conference on limitation of arma
ment. The position cf the United States on
the alliance between Great Britain and
Japan will be stated some time during
the conference in just as unequivocal
and frank terms by Secretary of State
Hughes as the head of the American
delegation put forward the bold and
sweeping program of America for cut
ting the great naval armaments of the
world, it was confidently expected here
today. This may be done tomorrow.
ALLIANCE DIFFERENT
The question of the Anglo-Japanese al
liance, however, is a greatly different
one than that of fixing a limit on naval
armament and reducing the present
great naval establishments.
The alliance is a delicate question
with both Great Britain and Japan al
though both of thesff countries are be
lieved to realize that something; must be
done about this pact in the present con
ference to meet the opposition of the
United States.
Officials here point out that the United
States has nothing In direct relation to
offer as a sacrifice In return (or aban
donment by Great Britain aud' Japan
of their alliance. On the qaestlon of
naval armament however. America has
offered to scrap the great ships, of the
1916 building program, considered a
greater sacrifice than the other powers
were asked to make.
POSITION OF V. 8. "
Briefly, the position of this country on
the Anglo-Japanese alliance is as fol
lows, it is learned on highest authority
by the United Press:
1. The government of the United
States is unalterably opposed to this
military pact between the two great em
pires on opposite sides of the world and
considers this alliance a menace to this
country.
2. Despite the repeated assurances of
the British and Japanese statesmen, this
government can see no country other
than the United States against which
the alliance probably would be directed
in an important emergency.
3. The alliance has a close bearing on,
and might 'even prevent an effective
agreement for limitation of naval arma
ments, as the pact potentially joins the
navies of Great Britain and Japan, re
sulting in a superior force to the Araeri
can navy.
PASTOR DECLARES
MONEY SHOULD BE
RAISED FOR FAIR
In a stirring appeal for Portland to
think more of the human asset than
the dollar mark. Dr. Edward H. Pence,
pastor of tho Westminster Presbyterian
church, urged the business men to get
solidly behind the 1925 exposition, in an
address before the members' forum af
f"the Chamber of Commerce at noon to
day.
Dr. Pence said that the raisins; of
$6,000,000 for any object would coordin
ate Oregon, sell the state to Its people
and bring to the top a human Portland
and a human Oregon. He characterised
$6,000,000 as a bargain counter price for
the accomplishment of this end.
The forum was devoted to a discussion
of the fair tax question. Charles F.
Berg presided at the meeting. John F.
Daly, president of the Hibernia bank,
discussed the fair from a financial as
pect. Coe A. McKenna, president of the
Portland Realty board, favored the fair
from the standpoint of ths return which
he believed would follow the investment
Emery Olrastead, president of the
Northwestern National bank, said that
he favored the exposition as a business
proposition.
E. B., McXaughton told how he had
recently been swung into the ranks of
those favoring the fair because he saw
that the exposition meant more than its
monetary investment in the upbuilding
of the real estate business of the city.
Exposition songs were ming and Ol
son's orchestra started the jazz program.
SHIPPING BOARD
U.S.
HEARS PORTLAND PLEA
( Continued From Face One)
give all passenger carrying ships to other
ports and leave Portland only with cargo
carriers," said Dodson.
'I am presenting to you the data
which shows imports and exports at the
Columbia river, and it shows how Port
land has been building up. I have here
figures of comparison between T acorn a
and Seattle on one hand, Portland and
Astoria on the other and they show that
the Oregon ports this year have sent out
over 1,000,000 tons in exports, compared
with 894,000 tons for these two Pugst
sound cities.
Dodson said that while Portland ap
pears weak on imports Portland suspects
that the Pacific Steamship company has
not solicited business as vigorously as
it might have done and if ships are
handed over to an American Portland-
owned line, Portland will be able to get
Its share of return cargo.
He enumerated the resources of the
Columbia basin as future cargo for the
permanent support of ship lines and de
clared that this local volume of merch
andize for export aided by water haul to
the ports of the Columbia is a future as
surance in supplementing transcontinen
tal business distinctly superior to Puget
Sound.
Speakers for each port were allowed
thirty minutes and filed such data as
they desired. Chairman Lasker asked
that each port file a financial statement
of the companies, their connections and
their personnel. The hearing closed
shortly after noon.

Washington, Nov. 14. (L N. S.)
Japan is willing to "scrap" the Anglo
Japanese treaty of alliance if the Far
East problem which her delegation has
brought to Washington is accepted by
America and England, it was learned
from a semi-official source this after
noon. Japan has bold and sensational pro
posals to present to the conference by
which she hopes to gain domination over
Manchuria, Mongolia and Northern
China and extend her influence all along
the Siberian coast
Janan would close the door to foreign
commerce in Manchuria through a far
reaching scheme aimed at the economic
penetration of all Northern China.
Japan is willing to bargain with Amer
ica and the United Kingdom, playing
Shantung and naval reduction against
the consent of he United States to her
demand for a protectorate (modeled
after the French in Morocco) over Man'
churia and Mongolia.

TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
The tariff section of ths agricultural
bloc Is the latest ons to roam around
and stir up ths tariff tinkers of ths
senate finance committee, who ars to be
confronted with a list of proposed tariff
rates, which Is both long and specific,
agreed upon between the senators of the
bloc and the beads of the agricultural
organizations.
Ths purpose of the tariff clan of the
West is to boost the rates on farm
products over those contained In ths
Fordney bill as it "passed ths bouse,
some by 25 per cent, others by 60 per

OPPOSITION EXPECTED
There will be strong opposition, with
out doubt to this latest manifestation
from the West The senators sre much
tn earnest and believe that they will
ultimately succeed tn raising the Ford
ney rates materially, even though they
do not reach Just the point at wnicn
they have aimed.
Ths tariff bloc was organised some
weeks ago. with Gooding of Idaho as
chairman of Its executive committee. It
became somewhat confused In ths minds
of many with some of the other farm
"blocs," In which some of its members
were participants, but came out in full
relief when Senators Gooding and Mc-
Narr spread a luncheon for other West
ern senators at the capltol and also
spread before them the program upon
which the farm organisations were
ready to unite.
COMPARISONS MADE
The 14 senators attending that lunch
