This Invi tation la particularly extended to the membera of th senate and house com mittees' on roads and highways. .Among operators of commercial buses and truck line there is a general ex arewilon of willingness to go under state regulation. It is recognised that the public la entitled to a regular and re sponsible service aa well as extra torn- nenaatlon In, the way of special license fees for tne uaa or trie highways. "Wi only aaa." tney say, "to be pro- aeted from Irresponsible and unneces aary competition." j In consideration of submitting to the .Jurisdiction of the public service com smsslon or some other state authority, Iie commercial operators ask that the eflnltlon of common carrier be extended merchants who deliver goods outside dlty limits and also to manufacturers, eurh as sawmill men, who establish their ifillla along tha highway over which they haul their production to market. It' I contended that thle delivery ot goods Is clearly within tho field of com aierclal trsnsport&Uon. j Another safrguasd which the bua op erators will ask for la that they be pro tcted from local exactions in the way f license fees. Under the terms of 9a vehicle licence law which goea into affect next January, it Is provided that the fees Imposed by the act shall be in Beu of all other taxes and licenses, ex cept municipal license fees under resu ftttory ordinances. IKE QUE8TIOX RAISED . i This la intaroretod to mean that mu- j ak-lpalitles may levy additional fees. Against this contingency the commercial Operators want defense. They say that Qiey only want to pay one license and be subject to only on set of regulations flnr loading and speed. They wduld pre- r to do business with, the state au thority only. . 1 This point raises a lesrat Question aa tj whether aucb. an arrangement could made.

S : It M JAPAN BLOCKS WAY TO EARLY AGREEMENT (Continued From Fwe.One) Big Pan-American Conference to Be Held Next Year Waahlnainn, Nov. JO. (U. P.) A general Pan-American conference will be called daring the next year. Dr. I . Rowe, director of the Pan -American anion, predicted here today. The conference would be confined to sVpreaentaUvM of the United States and Iia ran-Araetican countries and would eal with general relatione affecting the Aountrtea on the western hemisphere. lr. Xowe said ho expected Chile to tsue a call In the a ear future, although be was aot certain Just when this would be den. lotted and that as a matter of fact the ratio of 10-10-6 is "extremely liberal." There were unmistakable evidences to day that the Japanese themselves are not in perfect" accord over the 70 tier cent demand. The naval members of tlio delegation, headed by Admiral Baron Kato, are demanding that the ratio be increased, but the political and diplo matic members of the delegation are un derstood to be Inclined toward accept ance of the Hughes program as it lies. FEELIG IS DEVELOPED It is understood that some feellne has developed on this point between Vice Admiral Kato and Prince Tokugawa. the nominal head of the delegation. This reeling is Baid to have been heightened last night by Tokugawa'e statement to the American correspondents. - In speaking of Admiral Kato's state' ment that 70 per cent was the minimum which Japan could accept, Tokugawa said It represented the admirals per sonal opinion and not necessarily the official view of the delegation. It was reported today that this state ment, coming from Tokugawa. was not pleasing to the naval members of the delegation. L050 DELAY IMPOSSIBLE Settlement of the issue of whether Japan will orwill not agree to the 60 per cent ratio for her navy cannot be long delayed. , rora an American orriciai - source came the positive assurance that there will -be no ' backing down" bo Car as the American delegation is concerned, The naval experts and the principal dele gates of the United States are unani mous In their contention that the Amer lean limitation program waj conceived In fairness and liberality and dedicated to the cause of World peace and uoon that Issue they are prepared to limit the navies of the world, or they are prepared to resume the competitive building that can out, tead to American naval auprem acy. v ITATIOIVAL PRIDE PRETESTS' ' JTrom one of the chief naval experts or japan came equally positive asaur ancea that Japan cannot and will not accept the capital ship ratio ot 10-10-6 proposed in the Hughes plan. National pride and national necessity, it was as serted, never would consent to Japan being relegated to a poor third place among me navies or tne world.

"If an enemy fleet of 10 ships laid siege to Japan, we would have to send out at least 10 defensive ships to lift the blockade. We could not do H with six. We must have. 10 ships to fight 10 ships. And we will have them." The Tokio expert also revealed that Admiral Coontx, the American chief of naval operations, is the spokesman for America in her meeting awith Japanese naval experts. TURK'S THE QUESTION "Admiral Coontx," he said, "cannot see our point. We have given definite reasons for" making our demand lor a higher ratio. The Americans have given no reason for taking the stand they do. I atn often asked, Why does Japan in sist upon a 70 per cent naval status? My reply always is. "Why does America Insist on 60 per cent for Japan T Amer ica does not answer." The Nipponese seaman conclnded by airing the Japanese viewpoint on dis mantling of all fortresses in the Pacific. "Why should America desire for- tresses and coaling Btations near the shores of Japan? Japan does not desire a great naval base In the shadow of ih Golden Gate, It is as long a voyage from Japan to California as from Cal ifornia to Japan. If America does not contemplate such a cruise Japan holds she should destroy her fortresses in the lea of our shores." was declared Germany would Just be able to meet her January quota If she leased her railways or resorted to some other such scheme to raise funds. After January only a moratorium will save Germany from bankruptcy, in the opin ion or otrraan officials themselves. Upper, left One of the most picturesque of the delegates is V. 5.

Below William Jennings Bryan, who is one of those covering the conference for The Journal, entering Continental Hall. It is not often that Bryan has been photographed in a "stovepipe" hat. But Bryan is a lover of peace and evidently is doing all In his power to em phasize' the impressiveness of this occasion. The deadlock actually exists among the naval experts and technicians. Despite the positive assurances from Japan's naval advisers that there will bo no yielding on their part, it is not believed that Japan will carry her op position to the Hughes program to the point of actually deadlocking the. con ference or "bolting" It If their conten tions are denied. MAT BE BliUPF The belief is widespread that there is Why Guess About It When You Can Know About It? Suppose a guide said 1 "This way there's a safe and pleasant road to yoar destination, with no lisks or troubles on the way," and That way theres a road that a good many have stalled on and turned back from but you may get through.'

Postum for Health "There's a Reason" a good deal of "bluff" in the Japanese stand and that in the final analysis the Nipponese will yield entirely or else they will attempt to trade their accept ance of the capital ship ratio for some other concessions in the matter. From official Japanese sources It was learned today that they would like noth lag better than to agree to the American program on condition that the United States dismantle the fortifications in the Pacific at Manila, Gaum and in Ha waii. The maintenance of these fortifi cations - laqg - has been a source of Irri tation and suspicion on the part of Tokio and the. belief exists among portion of their diplomats here that now is the propitious time to' try to raze them. U.8. OPPOSES TRADE It can be stated, authoritatively, how ever, that American nayal and diplo matic opinion is staunchly opposed to such a trade and that if Japan hopes to accomplish this she is doomed to disappointment. The sub-committee of experts met at 10 O'clock at tho Pan-American building. Present were Assistant Secretary of tne Navy Roosevelt, Admiral R. E. Coontx and Rear Admiral William V. Pratt, representing the united States ; Admi ral Chatfield for Great Britain, and Ad moral Kato for the Japanese. France sad Italy were unrepresented.

A. full meting of the cabinet was held this aft ernoon to get reports from Sir John Bradbury, .British reparations expert. and Lord D'Abernon, British ambassador to Germany, upon the advisability of Germany declaring an Indemnity , mora -Sir John Bradbury takes the stand that German indemnity is closely bound up With world recovery and that the German burden is hindering rehabilita tion everywhere. Hugo Stlnnes' proposals- for German exploitation of T'.ussia, with the assist ance of the British -were discussed also. It was intimated that Herr Sunnes' program has the Support of Premier Lloyd-George's colleagues. The premier has an appointment to confer with Leo nid Krassln, Bolshevik trade envoy, on the same subject Sir John Bradbury had worked out detailed plans for the assistance of both Russia and Germany, but they had not been approved by the premier up to the time the cabinet - met.
