NEW TREATY TO FIX MANDATES OYER ISLANDS United States Would Make ‘Open Door’ Policy WorldWide. EUROPE SILENT ON YAP Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Sept 13—Negotiation of a treaty embodying the agreement reached between the United States and the allied powers on the question of mandates and establishing in a world wide way the principle of the “open door’’ is to be the next step in the deliberations now in progress as to the control of the former German possessions. At the same time it was learned definitely that the Harding Administration does not believe there exists the slightest reason for a treaty between this Government and the powers with which it was associated in the war to bridge the gap between the treaty Os Versailles and the treaty recently made between the United States and Germany. There Is no indication when it will be possible to begin the work of drafting the mandate treaty. The State Department has up to this tjtne received no answer to its note addressed to the allied powers in which suggestions were made as to the character of changes which this Government believed necessary Discussions on Yap are still under way. Officials In Washington do not believe any obstacles will stand in the way of the consummation of snch a treaty. In their opinion too question is simply one of guaranteeing to the United States that it shall not suffer the loss of rights previously had as the result of its participation in the war. The present form of the mandates excludes the United States from the benefits granted thereunder to the victors in the war due to the absence of this country from the League of Nations. The other suggested changes were merely for the purpose of clarification. The mandate treaty will include what ever settlement may bo -reached on the Cfuestion arising out of the granting of the mandate for Yap to Japan, but it Is said the Yap incident, of itself, does not create the necessity for the treaty. Yap is merely one phase of the matter, which although it may have created more of an impression In the public eye, the United States considers merely a part of the general principle, that the United States and its nationals shall have equal opportunity and all rights awarded to any other nation in the former (Jer- I non territory. Especial emphasises is : placed on this point because the United States made no claim for any reward, yerritoria’ or financial, due to its par i /loipat'on In the war. ft The snggested drawing of a treaty I to unite this country and K' allies in their attitude toward Ger Ipn' presents in rho mind of American -ial=s an ei tlrdy different question brings forward a claim that rnj HKinot recognize. The argument ad Baneed abroad, more pnrtlmilarly in France, that the United States should guarantee the cession of Alea-'-e-Lorraine and other territory yielded by the Germans in a separate treaty--ie--damir.betl . here. The position of this Government is that It has already taken such action in recognising the territory formerly held by Germany as now being an integral part of the nations to whom it is awarded and that throngh the naming of consular representatives has taken all action that is necessary.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

Indiana Woman May Be Advisor to Arms Delegates Mrs. Richard Edwards of Peru Considered for Place With Council of Twelve.

Special to Indiana Daily Times i and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON. Sept. 13.—As a man high up In Republican councils doclared the other day: “If American women had not had the vote, there wouldn't have been a reduction of armaments conference called in Washington.” Returning to the Capital after several weeks absence, one finds evidences of this assertion on every hand. Now- the question is, what woman or women will be included In the advisory council of twelve? Women who have been active in creating public sentiment to force some action on disarmament now have their eyes fixed on the President’s statement that ‘‘American womanhood would be represent 1," among those who will be next in importance to the four delegates themselves. This statement was made to newspaper correspondents at the White House last Friday. FITTED FOR POSITION. Among the namTk most seriously considered, though as yet, almost unmentioned, in this connection, is that of Mrs. Flehard 'Edwards of Peru, Ind. There are so few American women who have had any adequate training or have even had the least interest in international politics that it is not surprising to find when focused on one-, who has had little experience in this line. The best thing about Mrs. Edwards is that she has no enemies. She Is a young woman who still keeps the enthusiasm of her Smith College days of nearly twenty years ago: As Marie Stewart, she married Richard Edwards, a young Harvard graduate, who settled down in his father's furniture business. He specializes in chairs, and his wife helps him, when Dickey, Jr., now a lad of 12, gives his mother time to do so. Those who have watched Mrs. Edwards within the last two or throe years consider her one of-the brightest political stars in the feminine horizon. She has

a perfect genins for organization and putting her objective across, making every on# happy around her while doing it Mrs. Edwards is a stanch Republican, but claims to hold the interests of women and of country first of all. She won her politicnl spurs in Indiana suffrage campaigns and in tb# national presidential campaign when she worked In th Chicago'headquarters. As first vice president of the National League of Women Voters, ehe also could cultivate the interest of that large group of women. At least two centers of hospitality are being planned for women who will be in Washington for the armament and Far Eastern conference. Though no definite word has been received of women in the foreign delegations, some are expected. Mrs. Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania, who has a lovely home in Washington, has offered to open her house to entertain them. At a recent meeting of the board of governors of the New Woman's National Foundation, It was announced that a registry and meeting room would be maintained for the use of the club women and newspaper correspondents who will come for the conference. WOMEN’S INTEREST IN I'MEMIT.OYMEST, Another event that Is arresting the attention of women who are looking out beyond the confines of their own homes is the conference on unemployment. "Will women be among the delegates?” was a question asked. “Well, rather,” waa the reply. “If there are thirty delegates as it is now rumored, we may have ns many as ten, but we surely ought to have five.” This same person estimated that of all the wage earners in this country, onethird were women and two-thirds men. The women mentioned as being most expe/ienced to sit on the unemployment conference are Mrs. Raymond Robbins, of Chicago; Mrs. Katherine Edson Phillips, of California; Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, of Pennsylvania ; Miss Amy Maher, of Ohio; Miss Mary McDowell, and Miss Agnes Nestor.—Copyright, 19221, by Public Ledger Company.

SAYS HARDING LAYS SELF OPEN TO CRITICISM Writer Holds Letter to McCormick Unjust in Attack on Democrats. By WALLACE! BASSFOKD. WASHINGTON, D. C. f Sept. 13.—The usually amiable gentleman In the White House has written a letter to Senator Medill McCe.mick in which ho ruthleisly assails the Democrats for the tremendous expense of conducting the Government at the present time. The President evidently feels that the Illinois Senator, who has been spending a Dumber of weeks in Europe while the country gasped for rellof at the bands of Congress, is in need of some information as to the state of affairs at home. The President at sorne.length congratulates the country on the great amount of good legislation passed by the Republican /Congress in the six months that have elapsed since it began to function. He apologizes for the fact that none of the three big things has been done that the President and the oountry expected Congress to do. REWRITING END ! NOT IN SIGHT. | The tariff bill Ua* not been enacted, the tax reduction has not been passed—in fact, the Senate Committee on Finance is Just beginning to tear the House bill to pieces in order to rewrite it. After the Senate committee rewrites it the Sen- | nte gets a ehauee to tear it to pieces, then it goes back to the House and that body may by that time be in the humor to do a little rewriting of lts own. The President even alludes to his hope that Congress may. after the recess, pass the rallI road funding bill. According to the daily ; press, he is not, however, depending en- | tlreiy on that chance, for he is reported : to be trying to find a way to pay off the railroad claims and nfund the Government's claims without legislative au- ■ thority. In assailing the Democrats for the present high cost of Government, the President has amazed Washingtonians by laying himself open to severe criticism. Certainly the President cannot haT* forgotten, even If be thinks the oountry has, that all of the power over appro- ! prlationa has been heid by the Republicana themaelves for two years, six month* ; aud ninteen days from the date of this article. They have had the sole power, 1 which the Constitution gives to Congress alone, to lery.taxea and appropriate the sums secured from such taxation. Wbtio Mr. Wilson was President for two years of this time. Congress during those two years was Republican in both branches, and Mr. Wilson and the members of bis Cabinet could not alter the rates of taxation or name the objects upon which the tax should be collected* and they ooilld not expend one penny of revenue# without the item having been provided for by the Republican Congress. LET BLAME REST WHERE IT BELONGS. Every one knows that the appropriations of the present fiscal year and of the last fiscal year were made by Republican Congresses; If they are excessive, let the President lay the blame where it belongs, on his own party. Leaving out the special expenses necessary to the conduct of the war, the general expenses of the Government have been larger under the appropriations of the Republicans than under the Democrats. And whils the Republicans halve controlled Congress for these thirty and one-half months, taxes hare not been reduced one single penny. It is not necessary to prove these things—they are matters of common knowledge. The country still ii paying war taxes, almost three years after the signing of the armlsMce, and those ever changing proposals for reduction, none of which hiv* been carried out, sre mainly in the interest of the big corporations and the millionaires, such as Secretary Mellon himself, while the proposals will actually increase the faxes of thousands af small corporations. The sverage income-tax-payer is offered a sop in the way of sn Increased exemption. No one doubts that he needs it and a good deal more. Os course the President merely need Senator McCormick as a peg on which to hang a letter which wns intended to drew public mention from the shortcomings of the Repub'.cso Congress, but it rather serves to rem nd the people that these faults of the Congress are many and that they cover a long period, nnd it also reminds them that the Senator has been one. though only one of many, of those legislators who accept the salary of the position while loafing on the Job.

ty Criminal Court July 23, 1920. On June 2, 1921, the Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the Criminal Court and on Jnly 30 the motion for a rehearing was filed.
