JAPAN READY TO GO ALL THE WAY TO DISARM NAVY Kato Issues Remarkable Statement on What Would Do. LAYS CARDS ON TABLE TOKIO, Nov. 9.—Assurance that Japan’s policies and attitude In the Washington Conference on the limitation of armaments knd Pacific problems would remain unchanged despite the situation resulting from the assassination of Premier liara Was given today by Yicount Pchlda temporary premier. Pchlda declared In an exclnsiTe interflow—tlie first given any foreign correspondent—that Japan’s position In the gonfcrence will be the same as defined by premier Hara.—Copyright, 1921, by United Press. Premier Hara. Viscount Vclilda declared; “Furthermore the change In the complexion of the cabinet will not affect in pny way Japanese foreign policies, particularly those policies affecting (shantung and Siberia. "Japan sincerely hopes that an outspoken exchange of views on \limitation pf armaments. Pacific and Far Eastern Questions will resblt In the furtherance of good understanding'among the nations eoncerned and also in the recognition of legitimate rights and interests of each power represented at the Washington meeting.”—Copyright, 1921, by tnited press. Special to Indiana Pally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BT FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. WASHINGTON, Not. 9— ln a rofnarkable statement of the most binding Pnd categorical character. Baron Tomopaburo Kato, the actual chief of the Japanese delegation to the armament Sbnference and Japanese Imperial minister of marine, has proclaimed Japan’s Readiness to reduce naval armaments. He •Went the whole gamut of coueilatlon. He declared that not only would Japan stop fcer great “eight-eight” building program, designed to be completed by 1928 if other powers agreed to corresponding cessation In naval construction, bnt asperted that all along the line Japan would “cut down” her armaments at sea commensurate with the cuts agreed to by plster nations. “Japan has never thought, and does not today think,” added Baron Kato, “of building a navy equal to that of either the United States cr Great Britain.”

Thus the Japanese in Washington, purpulng the diplomacy they appear to have adopted from the outset, are first in the field with their cards on the table face Cp. Baron Kato—“silent Kato” he probably will be called in Japan no longer—had not intended to make so sweeping a proclamation of Japan’s naval policy at the Washington conference. On the first occasion of a meeting with the American and Japanese pres? last night, the etatesman sailor of Nippon had Intended mainly to confine himself to a denial of allegations published In a New Tork newspaper that “Japan alone opposes reduction of naval programs.” Having delivered the denial, Baron Kato Instructed his Interpreter to announce to the assembled correspondents that he stood ready to face and answer any questionnaire they desired to conduct. Then ensued what his countrymen present branded as unique In Japan political history—the spectacle of the principal representative of the Imperial government and the navy making what bore every evidence of being a clean breast of Nipponese sea policy. Interrogatories were fired at Baron Kato Aotnt-blank. He faced them as unperturbed as Japan’s battleship gunners when they were pounding away at the German forts at Tstng-Tao seven years ego this month. No query seemed to be too ticklish. Japanese delegation attaches and Journalists stood aghast at their leader’s boldness and frankness. They branded his declarations much farther-reaching than any of the strong men of the Hara cabinet ever addressed to the Japanese parliament. .y. pßpWfiwcmfwyp cmfwy cmfw cmfaa Baron Kato's reply to the final question his inquisitors addressed probably will be found most interesting to the people of the United States and the world at large.

IMPORTANT QUESTION ITRED AT BARON. “Baron Kato,” the Japanese delegate was asked, “What Is Japan's Justification for desiring great strength at sen 7 The British empire Is of worl<l-wi. > ramifications and depends on tranac-! tlons at sea for Its life and political existence. The United States has enormons coast lines to defend, the Panama Canal to protect, a big merchant marine to guard, and the Monroe Doctrine to keep Inviolate. Why does Japan need to rival Britain and America at ■ea?" “The plana which have been adopted by Japan,” replied Baron Kato, speaking thoughtfully and deliberately, “are very much Inferior to those programs adopted by both Great Britain and the United States. I, myself, do not conalder that the navy of Japan is a ‘great’ navy. Every nation that feels the necessity of self-defense must have forces that can defend. The degree of force to' be maintained by each nation (lepcmds upon a great many factors. Among them are conditions Internal and otherwise krnd relations with other nations. For “nstance, Japan's position 1n the Orient is that of an Insular power, like Great Brit ala In the Occident. Therefore, should there exist a nation which Intends to make an attack upon Japan, our naval forces alone would be able to defend the country. You know, moreover, that Japan Is not a self-sufficient land. That circumstance by Itself ought to make clear the Importance of the navy.” “How far Is Japan prepared to go In actual checking of naval construction?” Baron Kato was asked. JAPAN READY TO CUT NAVY. “From the moment." he said “that we heard anything of the Washington conference, the Japanese government hs* from time to time issued a uniform statement concerning Japan's attitude on this question. lil spite of categorical statements to the contrary made by authorized spokesmen of Japan, statements persist —and In America to this very day—that Japan would Insist upon maintaining and carrying out her ‘tight-eight' program (of eight battleships and eight battle cruisers to be ready by 1928). In March of this year I communicated to the American press at Tokio In my official capacity as naval minister the assurance that Japah would Insist on nothing of the sort. It ought to be clear by this time, I should think, that Japan, far from standing Irrevocably on the ‘eight-eight’ program, is ready to cut down the program she has Initiated if an agreement with other powers concerned can be attained providing the safety of Japan Is assured." “Will Japan take the initiative at the conference in proposing the ‘cut down’ you mention ?’* “At the approaching conference,” replied Baron Kato, “there doubtless will be many propositions. We expect that the United States will take the lead in making them. If these proposals project a cutting down of programs, we are ■■eady to do so. I want to make It very clear to you rhat this Is the attitude of Japan. In addition, I would also like to aay that limitation of armaments cannot, of course, fee undertaken by Japan •lone. It must be done In conjunct! n with other first-class naval powers.” “What should be in your Judgment the basis of limitation?” “It will be easier to discuss that question when we know the nature of the proposals to be offered to the conference, presumably by America.

Warns Against Deadly Poison in ‘White Mule 9

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Publlo Ledger. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—Prohibition Commissioner Haynes v hns sounded a warning against the recent products of the bootlegger. He said reports from various State directors bad ind cated that since the supply of bonded liquors had been cut off by bolding up all permits for withdrawals until after the closest scrutiny large quantities of wood alcohol *K(' beiug used by bootleggers, who vainly attempt to extract the poisonous elements out of the liquid. Mr. Haynes said such a process of elimination is only partly successful, even when performed by an expert chemist. He said whisky and gin compounded from the poisonous alcohol Is almost certain to cause blindness or death. He said he had only fragmentary reports of thq, country-wide havoc wrought by bootleg liquor, only 2 per cent of which was found fit to drink by chemists.— Copyright, 1921 by Public Ledger Company.

ably is Intended there shall be counterproposals.” “Has Japan the ambition to outrival British or American strength at sea?” DOES NOT DESIRE TO RIVAL AMERICA. \ “Japan has never expected,” he said, "nor ever entertained the Idea that she should possess a navy equal to that’ of Great Britain or that of the United States. No such notion has ever Inspired our naval policy. We have never thought of building a fleet' that should be as strong as either of those countries maintains and of course, have never dreamt of building one that should exceed them.” There Is one feature of Japanese naval policy that did not crop up during the Interview with Baron Kato, but which the writer believes can be disclosed with authority. If the moment arrives duklng the conference when Japan Is asked, fairly and squarely, Just how big a fleet she Intends building, she purposes answering, the writer is Informed: “A fleet a fraction stronger than half the strength of the Untied States Navy.” Japanese naval strategists will explain. If pressed, that they believe a fleet of such proportions would at any time enable Japan successfully to wage a war of defense If and when attacked by the United tSatea.—Copyright, 1)21, by Public Ledger Company.

CANDIDATES GET ELECTION NEWS AS RETURNS COME IN Crowd Gathers at Shank Home i —Ralston Surrounded by Many Friends. Hundreds of the friends of Samuel Lewis Shank, mayor-elect of Indianapolis, and Boyd M. Ralston, defeated by Mr. Shank, gathered around them last night to offer congratulations upon the one hand and commendation for al brave fight against tremendous odds upon the other. Mr. Shank received more than a thousand visitors at his home at 3317 East Washington street, while Mr. alstou greeted hundreds at the Democratic city committee roops In the People’s Bank building. Early In the evening Mr. Shank was Introduced to the audience at the Lyric Theater as the mayor-elect, and after the thunderous applause had subsided he made bis first utterance of policy since his election: "Look out, you undesirables. I am elected mayor of Indianapolis,” was his message. _ / PRAYER OFFERED FOR VICTORY. Returning to his home, Mr. Shank found the front yard and first floors thronged. When the cheering had died down a bit he called for a prayer and one of the guesta offered a prayer of thanks *or the Republican victory. While returns Increasing Mr. Shank's majority more and more kept coming In the crowd cheered and sang Itself hoarse. Although the clouds of defeat hung low and heavy about Democratic headquarters within less than and hour after the polls had closed, there was not a trace of worry on the face of Mr. Ralston as he sat In his office and received the large number of friends that came In a steady stream during the flrit part of the evening. Asa matter of fact defeat seemed to affect him far less than tt did his friends. RALSTON MAKES CLEAN FIGHT; THANKS FRIENDS.

As early as S o'clock he frankly conceded the election to his opponent. "1 have made a clean fight and under the circumstances I think I have made a good one,” be said. “Indications are that Mr. Shank has been elected by a substantial majority aud I wish to thank my friends, both Democrats and Republicans for their loyalty and support. It Is not for myself that I feel sorry but for my friends who devoted their time and energy to assisting mo in the race.” Lack of campaign funds at registration time with which to get the Democratic vote registered was blamed by Mr. Ralston as being a big factor In the result. Turning to his daughter, Mrs. Charles Barth, 524 East Forty-Fourth street, who was taking her father's defeat very much to heart, be said: "Now we can go to Brown County next week and not have to worry about anything.” Unquestionably Mr. Ralston was greatly relieved that the long grind of the campaign was over at last, and it Is doubtful if ever a defeated mayoralty candidate took the result as philosophically. MEEKER HOLDS OUT FOR SION OF HOPE. At Democratic headquarters li was far different. Even *s late as 9 o’clock when unofflilal returns from two-thirds of the city showed that Shank had been swept Into office on a city-wide landslide ther- were still to be seen hard losers flgi lng out, to their own satisfaction at least, that the result was In doubt Chairman Thomas 8. Meeker refused to concede the election until long after the result was a foregone conclusion. “We did the best we could,” he said. "The whole explanation is that we did not bare the money and the other fellows had the votes.” By 9.30 c’clock Democratic headquarters practically were deserted, and the only Interest being shown was as to which three of the six Democratic candidates for council would be elected.

I have used this cream In my work for years and, although I have tested many creams, have never seen Us equal. Give it a trial and you will become as enthusiastic over It ns I am.
