Says U. S. Should
Turn Philippines
Oyer to Japanese
(By United News)
San Francisco, Nov. 18. The United
States should offer the Philippine isl
ands to the Japanese for colonization.
according to W. S. Fltzherbest, emi
nent lawyer, sociolgoist and author of
New Zealand.
"The . only way to. settle the race
problem." Fitxherbert told the United
News.- "Is to set temperate parts of
the world aside for the white race, and
give the tropics to the yellow and col
ored races.
"The United States has not been
tackling the Japanese problem from
the right angle. Since that country
needs more room for expansion, I be
lieve the only way to settle the ques
tion is for the United States to offer
the' Philippines to Japan for coloniza
tion. It is a place utterly unsutted for
the white man to live and survive in
and is only a burden under the present
policy.
"What I suggest is that blocks of
lands, in the Philippines be offered to
the Japanese for homesteads under
such - agreeable te?-.s uat they would
go there willingly from this country.
I don't recommend forceful expulsion.
I think that inducements can be made
such that there will be no difficulty In
getting them to go over of their own
accord."
Asked whether he would recommend
such a policy for New Zealand and
Austria. Fitxherbert explained that
the two countries : are almost entirely
in the temperate tone.

Former Chancellor Points Out
This Country Must Lend Ef

Dr. Joseph Wirth, retiring chancellor of
Germany, intends to play an active part in
hie country's government as- leader of an ener
getic opposition in the reichstag, somewhat
after the manner of Lloyd George in the house
of commons. Freed from the restrictions of

able to talk freely in international affairs.
In his first interview given Karl A. Hick el,

America must play in- European affairs, and
of the dangers that will result from inaction.
By Karl A.' BIckel
General Manager, the ynited Press.
(Copyright. 1922, by United Press)
Berlin, Nov! 18. "America, must call
a world economic conference. It is her
duty," Dr. Joseph Wirth, former chan
cellor of Germany, declared in an in
terview today, bis first since the fall of
his government. ;. . ''
Able to discuss frankly the situation
within and without Germany, un
hampered by diplomatic reticence,
which prevented many utterances dur
ing his 19 months at the helm of Ger
man affairs. Wirth's first thought was
for the need of American Intervention
as arbiter in European affairs.
The United States, he declared, must
take a decisive role in reparation set
tlement by naming official delegates
to the commission. It must be umpire
for Europe. Unless America does this.
Dr. Wirth foresees utter ruin and bol
shevism throughout Europe.
For himself, he said he was deter
mined to carry on, playing a part in
the reichstag somewhat similar to that
of Lloyd George in the British parlia
ment. Wirth is now a deputy.
KECALLS .14 POIN TS
He pointed out that the United
States, through Woodrow Wilson, was
pledged to the "14 points," adding,
"but it now appears that nobody In
America Is willing to Scarry- oat these
points." - ; -. ; v '-
"Who. fa to, settle . theeyEuropean
problem which now has become a world
problem"? not politicians, not Premier
Polncare," Wirth continued.
"America must take a hand as soon
as possible and must call a conference
wnich will deal with the problem from
an economic viewpoint.
"America now has two eentlemen
they are very fine gentlemen, too on
the. reparations commission, but why
doesn't America have official represen
tatives? America must have official
representatives so she can play - the
decisive role so she .can be a sort of
arDitrator an umpire."
At this point I interrupted Dr. 'Wirth
with the question, whether he meant
that America ought to speak what the
Germans call the machtwort (word
of authority). He replied:
"I wouldn't say that, but yon can
say that America should play a de
cisive role and be officially repre
sented." HAS DOSE HIS BEST
After a pause he added :
"I have done my best to fulfill the
Versailles treaty demands.
"Perhaps I have done too much, but
there Is nothing to show for it. After
the London eltimatum the allies oc
cupied Dusseldorf,; Duisberg and Ruh
rot. Their troops are stil lth ere. Why?
When one asks, they only shrug their
shoulders.
"Occupation must cease. The whole
problem must be treated from an eco
nomic standpoint."
I asked what would happen if the
United States didn't go in.
"Then misery and wretchedness
throughout Europe will Increase con
stantly and Europe will go to ruin."
He paused reflectively and 1 then con
tinued :
"I had a delegation from local hos
pitals and clinics here & few days ago.
They were very; gad. They told me
their institutions were being forced to
close. . -j
"That is not all. Science is crum

Washington, Nov. 18. (WASHING.
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
The election has been more decisive
in strangling some of the prospective;
presidential booms than otherwise.
Xt has ended, fd? the present, .at least;
two of the most promising "prospects'
In the Republican party, former Sena
tor Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana and
Governor Nathan L. Miller "of New i
York. Since neither of these conspicu
ous figures' was able to win, their
stock has been marked down close to
zero.
' There have been fatalities on the
other- side, also, for Senator Atlee
Pomerene of Ohio would have had a
lively boom had he been reelected.
He made a remarkable race, in view
of the odds against him in the .presi
dent's home state, losing by only a, lit
tle over 30,000, but this disposes of
him as a formidable figure in the pres
idential game.
TAMMAST HURTS SMITH
Governor-elect "A I" Smith, with his
400,000 majority in New Tork and his
immense popularity, would easily stand
out as a Democratic candidate except
for "two things. He is a member of
the Catholic church and of Tammany
Hall. Either of these facts has been
sufficient in the past to bar the candi
date, and the politicians believe that
while talk of Smith has not 1 ended,
be will not be considered available
when the time comes.
The Democratic governor-elect of
Ohio, A. V. Donahey,, is not consid
ered presidential timber, and there is
no suggestion in that direction. de
spite his feat in carrying the presi
dent's state. Indiana Democrats . are
likely to .ask consideration of- their
new senator,- Samuel M. Ralston, who
defeated Beveridge. Ralston is re
garded : a ;a man of Ability and he
may be in the running. - He is of a
conservative turn, however, and may
not meet the needs of 192.
FERRIS TOO OLD
Senator-elect WOodbridge JJ. Ferris
of Michigan is one of the notable fig
ures brought to the front by the No
vember shower of ballots, but he is
69 years old and not likely to be put
into the presidential contest. He won
this year because the people were bent
on rebuking New berry ism, but proved
his vote-getting ability several years
ago when he was elected governor of
the Republican Gibraltar in which he
lives.
This about exhausts the list of
names brought into the limelight .by
the election, unless Gifford Pinchot, the
new governor of Pennsylvania, be con
sidered by the Republican progressives.
Pinchot is well known to the country
and has had to battle his way over a
prostrate machine to a practically
normal victory. Pinchot has said that
he will not be a candidate and thatne
believes no one except President
Harding will be considered.
DEMOCRATS ELECT ' XOBE

Washington. Nov.; 18. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE. JOURNAL.)
The disparity of strength existing be
tween the major political parties in
congress since 1920 has been almost
evened up by the election, and the
same result has been accomplished . In
the state governments, but the Demo
crats have more governors than the
Republicans.
At the recent election the Democrats
won 19 governorships and 12 went to
the Republicans.. There were eight
holdover Democratic governors and
nine Republicans, giving a total of 27
Democrats and 21 Republicans. Among
the governorships won by the Demo
crats are several states where a Dem
ocratic governor is rare,' as in Colo
rado, Rhode Island, Kansas and Ohio.
' Just as the Harding landslide of 1920
gave the Republicans advanced posts
in some of the territory long occupied,
by their political opponents, the re
versal this year has given the -Democrats
several listening' posts which
they had not been able to reach for
many years. Michigan is ' the most
remarkable, historically, the Democrats
having captured a United States sena
torship for the first time since 1852.
In New Hampshire the Democrats
elected a governor for the second time
since 1S75, and elected a congressman
for the first time since the 90s. They
carried some of the -large cities of up
state New York for the first time in 20
and SO years, and they regained pos
session of the ninth congressional dis
trict in Virginia, which the Republi
cans have held continuously for 20
years.
In Oregon, where a Democratic gov
ernor was elected, it is Interesting to
note that of the 15 governors elected
by the people since statehood,, eight
have been Democrats and seven Re
publicans. Hares on British

ITALY MAY RETURN
TO GOLD STANDARD
Stabilization of Lire Is Also Ex-
Ipected - to 1 Result From , Bal
ancing, of Budget
By Edgar Ante! Jtfowrer ,
(Special Cable to The Journal sod the fTdcaro
.Rom. Kov, 18. Stabilisation f the
lire and a possible return to the gold
standard In the near, future . are ex
pected to result from balancing the
budget, which the government promises
within two 'rears. ; If the state refuses
to furnish more, money or Issue short
term bonds, the figure of importations
will . be limited, approximately , to i the
possible total of exportaUons. ,
The government admits that it has
been- deliberately, pessimistic for inter
nal reasons.
'"Our v budget for the year 1922-1
shows ' approximately six million lire
deficit," explains Alfredo Rocco, under
secretary of the treasury. -"This is com-
poseo jr two billion lire, in making
rood ".war devastations, another two
billion on war pensions and two billion
en - losses in the operation of . state-
owned utilities. .Our internal condi
tions are excellent., as Is proved by
the fact that before the war half a
million ' people 'left Italy permanently
each year, while this year the number
would - be only 80,000.1 We have only
400,000 unemployed, whereas we might
have had nearly two million counting
the pre-war rate. ; Part were killed or
disabled in war and the other part has
been , dissolved .in industrial develop
ment ; -'. ': - ,
"All but h principal railroad lines
will be ceded to private companies, as
will the telephone and telegraph lines,
so that this source of deficit -will also
be eliminated. The war pensions will
gradually work out in about 25 years.
So. with the new taxes which we intend
to lay on the hitherto untaxed in
comes of .tha working population and
small farmers, i who1 possess three-
tenuis or the national income, we shall
balance the budget within twoeara.'!

: For example,- said the chairman,
notes given on crop production would
run 12 months. Cattle loans would run
much longer, probably three years.
The local, banks would take these
securities f or ; loans to o farmers f and
cattle raisers, and place them in the

.satisfactory discount rate.. The feder
al reserve banks now handle only com
mercial paper, running from SO td 90
