WORLD POLICIES TO BE SHAPED IN FAR EAST ISSUE Cooperation or National Agz gressicn Choice of the ? _ i. Powers. . CONFERENCE IN FALL ' By CLINTON W. GILBERT. Copy right. 1821, by Public Ledger Cos. WASHINGTON, July 2b—What limits will be assigned to tho discussion of h'ar East problems In the disarmament and pacific conference which will be held here next fall? Will the conference start out by accepting the status quo and merely aim for an International agreement regarding the filters which will maintain equal opportunities for all nations or will It open up problems like ffce Japanese holding Shantung, the ■ngl’.h hoM.ng of Hongkong and tho American trade restrictions In the Philippines? No answer te these questions is available here. And perhaps no decision has been made, since practically all the powers involved have certain national Interests in the East which they regard as important to them and which, perjffla, they win wish :o exclude as subjects of discussion in the conference. Conversations are no doubt going on now between Japan and all the powers as to where the line Is to be drawn upon questions which will properly be before tbs conference. C. 8.-BRITISH LIAISON STAR OF JAPAN. Dispatches from Tokio indicate a fear in the Japanese capital that the United States and Great Britain are getting together for the purpose of forcing Japan tor lay certain policies of their own. like Hie holding of Shantung, on the table, while they themselves open up questions like the British policies in the 1 Orient and the American policies in the Philippines. Guam and other Pacific Islands. After every war in the East —Japan has had wars with China and K .vsia—the European powers have gotten together and robbed Japan of what she regarded as the legitimate frnit9 of her victories. Japanese public opinion fears that a similar effort Is now being made, following the great war. to set Japan back where she was before the armed conflict began. Thus the question of limiting the conference Involves decision as to whether It will tai.e up the Oriental situation in the broadest spirit, with the purpose of substituting some kind of international guarantee for the national policies wh! h have resnlt-*d in virtually all the European powers seizing a foothold in the East. Shall the conference, following the famous Hughes dictum about this country's rights ?s co-belligerent, start fr m Tr*, ending of the great war and r-gard the determinations In the Orient which Allowed that w r as open for discussion, but none of older date?

status quo as it existed at the beginning of the war and consider only what has happened since, Japan would probably withdraw from the discussion. There are but two ways of approaching the subject of the Orient which give promise of International cooperation. One is the widest possible approach to the problem, which would open up not only the subject of Shantung, Manchuria and Siberia, but also Hong Kong, IndoChlna and the American naval and trade policies In the Philippines, Guam and Hawaii, and the other Is practically to recognize the status quo and building international cooperation for the future npon that. Against the former method are the selfish interests of practically every power which will sit at the table. but It is the only method which will bring Japan back to a basis of equality with the other powers In Asia, so great have been the island empire's strides on the neighboring continent since 1914. AMERICA AGAINST STATUS QUO. Against recognising the status quo lies American opposition to what Japan did In Asia while Europe wag too bus: fighting to restrain her, her retaining of Shantung, her seizure of Siberian ports and her enforcement of the twenty-ona demands upon China. The invitation to China to take part In the conference is also interpreted In Tokio and here as indicating an Intention on the part of the United States to approach the problem of the Orient in the broadest way possible, with purpose of eubstitut'ng International cooperation for the existing Individual aggression upon the continent. But even this Is not conclusive. China Is weak; she may be consulted as she was at Paris and ignored. The task before the conference, unless the powers taking part In it. for selfish reasons, limit Its scope to future rather than to the past, presents tremendous difficulties. It is true, as the dispatches from Tokio suggest, that the fate of the Japanese Empire is at stake. The empire, as the Japanese have come to conceive it, extending on to the continent of Asia, is at stake. CHOICE PUT UP TO LLOYD GEORGE. And if that is not at stake then AngloAmerican relations upon which England now sets such store are at stake. If the United Stats desires tbd widest possible discussion of the Eastern problem and Japan the narrowest possible, Lloyd George must choose between Japan and America. If ho aims to reconcile these two divergent views, as he did at Paris those of Wilson and Clemenccan, he is likely to leave upon this country the impression of too great friendliness to Japanese ambitions In tbs East, and the conference, Instead of carrying forward the present tendency toward a closer understanding and cooperation between the two great Anglo-Saxon powers, will mark the limits of the reapproaehment. The international alignment of the future will be settled when the limits are fixed for the discussion that will coma before the Harding conference here In November. Cave-in Fatal Speela' to Tbe Times. CLINTON. Ind..

STORY OF JEALOUSY BEHIND KILLTNO. Back of the shooting is a story of persistent Jealousy. Mrs Kiroff met Carl In a music store owned by a relative of Kiroff. She was only 15 years old then. Her father was determined to prevent her from going with Kiroff, objecting because his daughter waS much younger than the man and because Kiroff was a ! Bulgarian, It Is said. The juvenile court ; officers were called into the case, j GIRL UNDER JUVENILE COURT. Miss Elma Sanders. Juvenile court officer, knows well the story of Mrs. Klroff and her records differ In some detuiis from the story told by Mrs. Kiroff. •'lt was May 24, 1919, that 1 first caused Nellie Lennlngton, and Carl Klroff to he brought into Juvenile court," said Mrs. Sanders. ‘Kiroff was under arrest charged with contributing to tho delinquency of the girl. Judge Lakr sentenced him but suspended the sentence when both the girl and Klroff promised to remain away from each other and promised not to write, i "The girl was taken to the home of her brother, John Lennlngton, who lives at Muncie, but she did not obey him. i and we brought her back to Indianapolis to the Horae of the Good Shepherd. It was while she was In the detention home and before being taken to the Home of the Good Shepherd that Nellie's mother was killed. Mrs. Grant Lennlngton, heV I eon and daughter were In an automobile und were driving to the son's home near Muncie when within sight of the son's home tho automobile was struck by a train. The mother was killed nnd tho other two seriously injured. Nellie was rfleased from the detention home at that time to attend her mother's funeral." “On Jan. 19, 1920, Klroff was brought into Juvenile court to answer tho charge of violating the court's order to remain away from Nel'le He was accompanied by an attorney nnd the girl’s father was | with her.

He always gave me what money I needed, but If I would even look at another man, he would say ‘yes you love him better than me.’ I loved no man better than I loved Carl. Oh I want to go to him.

JAPAN WOULD HAVE U. S. AVOW TERMS OF PACT (Continued From Page One.) dared that Japan will allay suspicion and prevent hostile criticism by prom ieing to take part in tbe Far East conference without further delay. CONFIDENCE IN DIPLOMATIC BAOACITY. But even ts Japan gives her word to go into conference It does not mean that sha will sacrifice beforehand any of her views. A lively fight la certain. Japan believes that the crucial moment has arrived and she must stake her future upon the cleverness of her diplomats at the Harding meeting. It Is for this reason that the best brains of the empire are being selected to represent this country. The fact that the government is already casting about to find the cleverest statesmen for the mission to Wash lngton is further proof that Japan Is accepting. The cabinet hes given daily consideration to the conference. There wns a special session on Monday followed by the regular session Tuesday The mattor was again discussed today. Officials of the foreign office still maintain that no formal communication has been received from the Umtoi States in reply to this country's request for lr.lormatlon as to the scope und character of the Far East discussions. It : admitted, however, that Secretary of dta'c Hugh** and Baron Shidehara, the Japanese ambassador to Washington, discussed the matter. Later the ambassador cabled a report to Tokio which will enable Jnpsn to have a reply by the time the formal diplomatic document is received from Wasoington. It was reported todav that the foreign office already has two drafts drawn np, but they have not yet been approved by the cabinet.
