STATE LAWS TO BE WEAPON USED ON PROFITEERS Attorney General Daugherty’s Drive Against Violators Gathers Momentum. WASHINGTON'. Pec. 29 The Governmen’s nation-wide drive against profiteering and food law violators gathered momentum today. Launched by Attorney General Daugherty with an tippeal to all State’s attorneys general for closer cooperation with Federal prosecutors. it was Indicated that the movement forecasts a fight to the finish for lower prices. The Government. It was said, will use two legal weapons against profiteers These are anti-trust laws in each State and the Inter-state commerce regulations Knforeement of the State laws by State authorities wrri be augmented, It was learned auboritatlvely, by Department of Justice agents In every State. LEVER ACT DRIVE FAILS. The Government was balked in its original profiteering drive, it was pointed out, by the weakness of the Lever act. wh'eh was declared unconstitutional. The Sta f e's ‘‘profiteering laws.” on the other hand, have repeatedly been upheld In the courts. It was learned the Department of Justice has probed Svie laws very thoroughly sn.l the decision that anti trust laws could be used throughout th“ country In prosecuting profiteers Induced the j Attorney General to launch his drive. SIMILAR TO CHICAGO ItriLItING TRADE SIFT. The process In each State, where State authorities welcome assistance, will be |Blmilar to that followed ©trade pr In Chi ic \ will gather evidence and “work up" cases which will then be laid before State authorities for prosecution. The State Laws in Illinois. Massachusetts, Kansas. Wisconsin and in every agricultural State throughout the South and West, it was learned, are looked upon as “particularly strong" In their application to profiteers. In industrial States, notably New York and Pennsylvania. i >od and fuel laws would be Invoked rather than anti-trust legislation. FICTFRF. OF LINCOLN SHOWN.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—China and Japan have clasped hands acro-s the festive board at a luncheon party given by the Chinese delegation in honor of the leading members and attaches of the delegation from Japan.

HARDING SAYS ‘THERE’S JOY IN LOWLY PLACES’ President Sends Greetings to Oldest Employe of The Star . MARION, Ohio, Dec. 20—Replying to Christmas greetings from Martin L. Miller, 77. printer, the Star’s oldest employe, President Harding voices the opinion to this man who has worked for him for so ; many years that “There is even more : happiness in some of our humbler pursuits than there is in assuming responsibility in high places.” The President's letter, written Deo. 20. received today by Miller, begins with the salutation: ‘My Dear Lew,” and continues: "It pleased me very much to have your Christmas greetings. Y'ou may not realize It but never a Christmas eve comes but I have a kindly thought ot you. I recall the days when I made up the Star pay roll myself and I have a recollection that on the last pay before Christmas there was always a slight remembrance for you ns a mark of appreciation of the oldest employe on the paper. You have been there a very long time. I remember you were on the Star when I began my connection with It In ISSL I thiuk you were afterward employed elsewhere for a while but finally came back to the Star and have remained ever since. “I sincerely hope that you are well and enjoying your full share of haplness. 1 talnk 1 can say to you from experience that there is even more of happiness In some of onr humbler pursuits than there Is assuming responsibility in high places. “Happy New Year to you and -Mrs. Miller.

4-POWER PACT MAY EXCLUDE JAP HOMELAND Nipponese Objection Likely to Succeed, Is Belief of Delegates. BY ROBERT BARRY. WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Exclusion of the homeland of Japan from the scope of the four-power pact in the Pacific appears inevitable. Negotiations initiated by Baron Sbidehara, the Japanese ambasador to the United States, are counted j likely to succeed. Unanimity of popular j sentiment, both in America and Japan, Is held to be the compelling motive back of that most vital change of policy. Agreement by the signatories to exclude the homeland of any party to the covenant would be agreed to in advance of the actual transmission of the treaty {to the Senate. It would constitute an important gain for Senator William B. Borah of Idaho, and other Senate opi ponents of the “peace alliance" and bring the contract into harmony with the first 1 interpretation placed upon it by I’resij dent Harding. | So far as can be learned the entire [suggestion for an agreed construction of the treaty terms so far ns to exclude Japan proper from the territorial guarantees extended to other ‘insider possessions and insular dominions In the re- : glons of the Pacific ocean," comes from the Japanese. I There appears no basis whatever for ! any Intimation that Secretary Hughes and other members of the American delegation initiated any steps to bring the covenant into accord with President Harding’s view of its provisions. The positive statement was made that the United States had not presented any such proposition. Japan’s delegates objected to Inclusion of her homeland at the very outset of the thr>-e cornered conversations over It. The treaty draft was prepared by Arthur .T. Balfour, head of the British, delegation. Japan did not approve the principle of the original British draft Her delegates s.-nsed a pop i! ir outcry at home against a seeming patronage of their na- ! tion. Japan proper remnlne i within the scope of the treaty at the Insistence of Secretary Hughes and Mr. Balfour. I Sin e Senator Borah and Senator .Tames A. Reed of Missouri began an outcry against the extension by the covenant to the homeland of Japan, there has teen a vigorous reaction among th© Japanese people. Virtually wry influential news-, paper In Toklo and Osaka h s protested against it sr ng representations have 1 een made to the Japatu se government to ; insist on a modification. The course of Baron Sbidehara h-re is the result. Secretary Hughes and other members of the American delegation have been 1 and remain very reluctant to back down from their original position with re-

spect to the scope of the treaty, but It Is felt they must do so. In spite of Senator Lodge’s forecast to the contrary, there was strong reason to believe In the success of the Borah campaign In behalf of a reservation excluding specifically the Japanese homeland. Conservative Republicans and a large body of Democrats were ngreed some such reservation ought to be adopted. Although President Harding expressed full approval of the action of the American delegates with respect to their interpretation of the treaty, and thereby

closed what some persons would like to hare made an Issue between the White House and the Department of State, there has ween a widespread view his original Interpretation of the covenant was Inspired largely by his political judgment of the popular feeling In such a discussion as It Is held to be fairly certain now the American delegation Is yielding solely through a recognition of possible triumph for the Senate treaty opponents, if such an Issue were carried through an extended controversy In this country.

There ig nothing official in the references to the probability the treaty will be modified. Both Secretary Hughes and Baron Shidehara decline to discuss the nature, the scope, or the intent of their conversations. But, In other quarters it Is not denied the actual negotiations are in progress and that there is every reason to believe the Japanese desires will obtain. The form to be taken by the suggested modification of the treaty terms has not been revealed. In one ©•"”■*?r Is Is proposed there should be an exchange of notes, although In others it was be-

lieved there would be signatures to some such reservation or understanding as accompanied the signing of the treaty itself —the American conditions with respect to conclusion of an agreement with Japan over the Island of Yap and with repeet to other mandated islands in the Pacific. If the alteration of the treaty were to assume the latter form, it Is thought, the President in transmitting the covenant to the Senate with a request for its ratification would include the reservation reiatrng to the homeland of Japan.

and Baron Shidehara for the exclusion of Japan proper froii the scope of the treaty would remove the one real basis of Senate opposition to ratification. It is felt, however, the Irreconcllables will not be pacified thus easily. Senator Borah already is insisting on a further reservation to provide in terms no less specific than the Lodge reservation to Article Ten that the United States assumes no obligation, moral ©r legal, to the use of force in connection with the enforcement of the treaty.—Copyright, 1921,.by Public Ledger Company.
