JAPAN IN NEED OF ‘ELBOW ROOM’ FOR SUBJECTS Question of Immigration to Be Discussed at Washington. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Publlo Ledger. By FREPKRIf WILLIAM WILE. WASHINGTON, Oct. 25—It Is possible now to throw Important light on news cabled to your correspondent from Toklo last week that the Japanese delegation at the Washington conference will bring up the subject of•• Immigration." When the news reached here, all concerned—both Americans and Japanese officials —were under the Impression it referred to the controversial question of Immigration in California. Entirely different and much farther-reaching construction, It now is stated, Is to be placed upon Japan's Intentions. The question to be raised at Washington is the basic question of Japan's necessity to find an (vutlet abroad for her surplus population. It does not refer to California. Both the Washington and Toklo governments are In accord that such an issue is inter-domestic and for negotiation between them alone. It does not refer to any region in particular. It concerns the broad, general Insistence by Japan that she Seeds "elbow room' somewhere in the world for her excess population, for the growing of food to feed them, and for national expansion in aa economic sense. IMMIGRATION TOPIC ALLIED TO ARMAMENT. The “Immigration'' Issue, as It Is outlined to your correspondent, cuts vastly deeper than the asignment of “elbow room” to the Japanese. Wrapped up intimately with It is the primary subject of limitation of Japanese arm.-.ment. The Nipponese attitude, reduced to bedrock, apparently will be expressed by the slogan: “No expansion, no disarmament." That policy will not be put forward arrogantly. That is not Japan's way at international conference tables. But the agenda on “principles and policies in the Far East” is not likely to be under discussion very long before Japan's hand will be revealed. She will show It quite dispassionately. At the sessions not open to the public—where the.real business of the conference will be frankly transacted—the Japanese delegates may be expected to talk in something like this fashion: “The Japanese nation is not blind to the fact that the United States and Japan, in a naval sense, are building against each other. The people of Japan have been taught to believe, for better or for worse, that it is mainly the United States which stands aa a barrier against the emigration of the surplus Japanese population from its overcrowded and overcultivated Island domain to territory capable of absorbing and nourishing that surplus. JAPAN’S NEED OF TERRITORY. “We do not have in mind the Pacific c<ast of north or South Amemea, or the Hawaiian Islands, or the British dominions in North America or the South Seas. We have in mind the mainland of Asia, with which we are so closely connected by geography and racial propinquity. There are vast, uninhabited and untilled territories there to which Japanese could emigrate with profit to themselves and with benefit to the regions in which they settled. Such territory exists in Mongolia, in Manchuria and even in Siberia. If we are permitted to go there —if the Washington conference assigns us what might he 'called a sphere of immigration—the main cause for upkeep of an abnormal naval establishment by Japan will no longer exist. The nation could and would be told It If no longer necessary. If we cannot secure a 'sphere of immigration’—lf the doors that ought naturally to be open to us remain bolted, barred and slammed iu cur faces—we must continue to be able to take care of ourselves against all and sundry who apparently do not wish us well.” WILL ACCEPT SPHERE OF IMMIGRATION. Those who say the above mentioned statement correctly optimizes the malu Japanese contention, as far as the Washington conference Is concerned, state that Japan Is willing to accept a “sphere or Immigration” on the mainland of Asia under sweeping safeguards and guarantees of the most binding character. She Is said to be ready to make a solemn pledge that under net, circumstances would Japan seek to convert such a "sphere” Into a military occupation, Into territorial annexation, or iuto any other kind of political advantage. Japanese strategy at Washington, according to certain advance Indications thus early in the great game about to be called, will be to lay her cards on the tatle before she is asked to do so. She is determined not to fill the role of the prisoner in the dock. It may be she will turn out, before the conference is ▼cry old, to be the prosecutor—the prosecutor of claims she thinks must be settled amicably and in her favor If the primary object of the parley, limitation of armament, is to be effectively promoted. As these dispatches a few days ago indicated, there is a strong Inclination in Washington to recognise the Justice of Japan's claims, but the United States’ granting them might be higher than anything Japanese diplomacy now contemplates.—Copyright, 1521, by Public Ledger Company. SAYS PEPGEN IS BEST MEDICI SHE EVER TRIED “Pepgen has done me more good than any other medicine I ever tried.” says Mrs. Rosa Stevens, of 212 Hancock avenue, Indianapolis. “I can surely recommend Pepgen to everybody who suffers from stomach trouble. ‘‘l suffered with my stomach for several years. It was Impossible for me to eat foods containing acid such as tomatoes, pickles, kraut and the like. After eating almost any kind of food I would be In distress with my stomach. Gas formed on my stomach. I bloated badly and felt miserable. This stomach trouble seemed to affect me generally, hly nerves got out of order and then I couldn’t sleep right. I suffered ofter. from headaches. Through the day I felt tired and draggy. “I read so much about Pepgen that finally I started taking It. I'm surely glad now that I did take Pepgen because It has done me more good than anything I ever took. My stomach is In much better condition. Although I eat much heartier meals than I have for a long time. I am not troubled with my stomach afterward. My food digests properly. I never suffer from gas or bloating. I also sleep better and feel stronger generally. •'I have recommended Pepgen to a great many friends and I am now gltfd to Indorse this medicine publicly." Pepgen i9 recommended and sold by Haag’s. Hook's and Huder’s drug stores, it is also stocked by all other leading rmacles In Indianapolis and nearby ;-<i - aa—Advertisement. ,

Only Few tfnderstand, Says ‘ Wizard of Menlo ’

By ALLAN L. BENSON. ORANGE, N. J., Oct. 25.—“ Neither you or anybody else,” said Thomas A. Edison to me today, “can write a self-evident fact so plainly that 3 p£r cent of these who read it can understand It. On second thought, I think I would reduce the number who can understand to 2 per cent.” The interview took place In hts laboratory here. When I entered the door and caught sight of him he was bending over the same desk where I had seen him fifteen years ago. His big white head bent down over papers he was studying. He looked up and smiled with the cordiality that every one who knows Edison will recall. At my first question he plunged into the Interview with all o fthe remarkable vigor that he puts Into his wo £. 0 EDISON LEARNS NEW THINGS. Thomas A., Edison has been going to school lately; His Instructors are those who apply to him for employment. By studying their answers to hls famous questionnaire, he Is learning new things about the human race. SoiAe of the things he learned saddened him. The answers to one question In his latest questionnaire he will not publicly discuss because they constitute an Indictment of a large percentage of those applying to him for employment. “You write an article," continued Mr. Edison, “and write it as plainly as you can and think people understand you. You are wrong. Only 2 per cent can understand, because only 2 per cent have sufficient imagination. That Is why It takes so long to get arty kind of needed legislation in this country. It takes BAPTISTS WILL SIT D YPROG RAM Leaders of Church From All Parts of Country to Meet Here Nov. 1-4. A conference of significance la the Baptist Church will be held here, 1, tc 4, when Baptist leaders from all over the nation will convene to study the church program.

twenty-five to thirty year* to put anything over. If the people of the United States had imagination they could understand a thing the first time they were told and be ready to act at once.” NO CHANCE FOR SELF-GOVERNMENT. "If only 2 per cent can understand,” Mr. Edison was asked, "what chance Is there for self-government?” “Not a chance on earth,” he replied. “We h3ve no self-government. We have government by a little group of men, most of whom are lawyers. You know what Herbert Spencer said about governments? He said the average Intelligence represented by governmental acts wi s lower than the Intelligence of the least intelligent member of the government. That explains a lot of things about governments." HUMAN INTELLECT HAS MADE PROGRESS. Edison was asked If human Intellect had gained anything In power since the days of the Greek philosophers. “I think it has gained a good deal In power,” he replied. “The Greek philosophers were pretty blind. Almost everything we have today was before their eyes, but they could not see much of anything. The/lathe was looking at them. The turbine was staring them In the face. The Internal combuelon engine that is being so wondrously developed today e<>uld have been produced almost as easily by the ancient Greeks aa It was by us. It is astounding how long things con remain right In front of us and not be observed, or at least, not understood. Humboldt said it was a standing reflection upon science that It did not understand and therefore could not explain the passage of force between the two ends of a horseshoe magnet. It Is just as much of a reflection upon us that we do not yet know how a bird sustains Itself in the air without flapping its wings." The fact that each generation produces 2 per cer.t who are able to understand a self-evident fact when plainly Btated seemed to Indicate that there were laws in operation that inexorably produced the 2 per cent. Mr. Edison was asked If he did not consider that the 2 per cent were created by the fortuitous operation rt£ natural laws, and he said he did. He was then asked If he believed It might be possible to discover the laws that create superior beings and consciously which humanity Is Intellectually Improving. “The possibility already exists In theory,” he replied, "and It will exist In fact as soon ns we learn more sfttout the laws that produce brain power. WHY’ PARTNERSHIPS FAIL. "At present we know very little about these laws. It is all a matter of association. I mean by that. It Is a matter of the association of the little fellows Inside of its that contain whatever Intellect we pssess. We are made of cells, and some, but not all these cells manifest 1 u hatever Intelligence we possess. Some parents happen to be suited to each otheand their product has exceptional brtln power. It is Just like two men going In- ] to partnership. If they happen to be just the right kind of men aud also happen to be suited to each other, they make a wonderful success at business. A thousand other partnerships fall and nobody knows why one succeeded and thfc others did not.” The Important thing, ha said, “Is not to make young) children study things they don’t like. The moment school la not play it is an Injury. I don’t know quite the age at which a child's mind atrophies, but It is somewhere between the agea of 11 and 14. Make a child <tudy what It does not like aud keep this up until it is 14 years old and Us brain is Impaired forever. "The kindergarten Is the place to begin. Children like to learn If they are taught right. They have great curiosity. But they want to be Interested. Ou educational methods do not interest them. Change theso methods and many more 'freaks' will be produced." Mr. Edison stopped, as he often does during an Interview, and remained silent almost a minute. Then he looked up and said: “The possibilities for the development of the human brain are almost Infinite.

SAYS BUSINESS SURELY BETTER Mere Signs Have Vanished and Real Facts Are Evident. “Indiana has reached the point in business rehabilitation where signs are giving way to salutations—real for-sure greetings to old friend Prosperity, who has been away for some time," B. P. Inman, manager of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, said today. “Ninety days ago there were signs. Now there are real facts," he said, i Marketing of this year’s crops has increased the purchasing power of farmers, and this In turn has stimulated retail business, he said. Excessive cost of factory output and excessive freight rates are the two outstanding things thnt are holding business back. Here are some of the things upon which he bases hls conclusions: federal reserve discount rates have been lowered in some centers. Ihe rise In the price of cotton has greatly stimulated marketing in the South, and as the result, the South’s buying power has been reflected throughout the country. L nemploymeut is steadily decreasing, except in a few Industries. Bank reserves have reached the highest point within four years, indicating the availability of ample funds for business expansion. Substantial reductions in the number of Idle freight cars, indicating a larger movement of the products of factory, mine and farm. It is the report that upwards of 3,000 additional freight cars are being put to work each day. Substantial Increase in the production of pig iron and an Increased demaud for steel products. Heavy marketing of grain, enabling farmers to meet a part of their obliga tlons and increase their purchasing power. Increased earnings of railroads and the employment by the ronds of nearly 50,000 additional workers during the second quarter of the year. Building contracts for the last few weeks show a marked Improvement In the construction Industry.
