PROFITEER TO BE HUNTED, IS PALMER PLAN Prepares for Drive on Illegitimate Profits as Soon as Law Gives Him Weapons. WASHINGTON. Oct. 144 In anticipation that legislation to stop profiteering soon will become effective, the Department of Justice Is placing the final touches to Its plans for procedure when the new weapons are available. A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney General, Monday called a meeting of the conferees who took the cost of living problem under advisement nearly three months ago. Secretaries Carter Glass, David F. Houston and William B. Wilson, Chairman Victor Murdock and W. B. Colver, of the Federal Trade Commission, Director-General Walker D. Hines, Assistant AttorneyGeneral Ames, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Leffingwell and H. E. Figg, assistant to Judge Ames, were present. After a review of the program made eo far, which was said to be very gratifying, considering that none of the laws requested of Congress has been placed on the statute booksk, the conference discussed new steps to bw laken when the "real campaign" of the Government is started. Officials declined to indicate what they had in mind, but it is known that Attorney-General Palmer is orepared to proceed vigorously in a number of individual cases, involving both foodstuffs and clothing, as soon as the food control law amendment to include the latter and to provide a criminal penalty for violations becomes a law. The amendment has been passed by both Houses of Congress. Another conference is to be conducted later in the week, probably Thursday or Friday, at which time Secretaries Newton D. Baker and Josepiius Daniels are expected to attend.

SENATOR LODGE TELLS COLLEAGUES THAT JAPAN WILL BECOME "PERIL TO AMERICA"
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. Japan is' building a Far East Empire which will become "a peril to America," and threaten the safety of the world. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, the Republican leader, declared today in the senate in urging adoption of his amendments to the peace treaty under which German rights in Shantung would be returned to China instead of being awarded to Japan. Steadily and relentlessly Japan is gaining control of China, Senator Lodge said, and he predicted that she would use China's vast man-power to endanger the safety of both America and Europe. "It is impossible to see." said Senator Lodge, "how any conscientious American can consent to any act or treaty that will extend the power of such a nation as Japan over a country like China, especially when the United States deliberately drew China into the war with at least an implied if not expressed promise to give assistance and protection at the peace conference. . "The principal argument made by those who sustained the delivery of control of Shantung to Japan . . . is that Japan has promised at diffeient times to return it to China. Whatever promises she has made . . . were, all marked by one vital omission. In no instance do I find that Japan ever fixed a time when she would actually return the province to its rightful owners. To determine what Japan is likely to do it is necessary to consider what she has done for 25 years." Charges Broken Pledges. Japan was charged by Senator Lodge with breaking innumerable pledges regarding her course in China and Korea; with violating the "open door" policy; destroying foreign commerce in Manchuria and Korea. Her fundamental policy, he said, had been "steady, relentless aiming to get ultimate control of the vast population and great territory of China." "As it has been in the past, so It will be in the future in regard to Shantung," he continued. "Japan is bteeped in German ideas and regards war as an industry. She means to exploit China and build herself up until she becomes a power formidable to all the world. She will use ultimately the practically unlimited man power of China for military purposes just as Germany and Austria used in their armies the man power of the 26,000,000 Slavs, who were utterly opposed to German domination, to promote their schemes of conquest. Japan will be enabled to construct in that way a power uhich will threaten tho afety of the world. She is already
in about i r.dvancmg in Siberia and with her conjtioi there and China developed as she j means to develop it she will threaten
Lurope. "But the country that she would menace most Mould be our own, and unle.-s we carefully maintain a very "P'-iir navy in the Pacific the day Nvi;l ' ome when the United States will take '!io place of France in another great war to preserve civilization, "it Is Great Wrong." "But there is one other reason even more decisive to my mind that this. It i. a great wrong, this giving of Sliiintung over to the control of Japan. Morally It i indefensible, and it is no i-n.nvcr to f-ay that we failed to object 1 to the German seizure of Shantung.! A;-; if". orMr. H-V thelv to Vhe! Cf i-nar mr.vf ment anrl for tho timo .r:"ai 0ementan?, f0.r .th Une r f.'ii T7 I IP KrpcinfnT ntin cut oi W3' to say that just so we eculd trade with these stolen territor"ve are 'Hins to let them be; stolen. This attack upon the dead is, the most repulsive of all those attacks ! which the President has seen tit to make. If ever there was a disinterested policy it was that of Mr. Hay. We ct nothing from it whatever that all the world did not get. The intention of the policy was to save China,, and prevt-iit further extension of foreign acquisitions of Chinefe territory. But even if it had been otherwise it would be no answer to what it is now proposed to do by this treaty, to say that we should have interfered in behalf of Korea in 1904. The wrongs never made a right." Few realize the significance of ultimate effect of the Shantung award. Senator Lodge declared, picturing, at a parallel to Japan's economic rights, the situation if Great Britain had similar privileges in this country. "The comparison that most naturally ! sP"nS3 to one's mind," he said, 'is the assumption that Great Britain, with her control of Canada, which is a less rigorous control than Japan exerts over Manchuria or Eastern Inner Mongolia, were to hold under her control the port of New York, all the wharves, all railway terminals also, including our two principal railroads, the management of our central custonishouse, post office, cable terminals, telegraph and telephone administrations, the absolute ownership and control of the Pennsylvania Railway throueh to Chicago, with the right to i txie"u ,l l as r as an' ; sas City ; the prior right to fmance or buil,d anJ f!lrnish suPPlies to all railand future, in that territory; and any other improvements that our people, through this government, might contemplate making in any of that territory north of Washington and east of j Chicago, provided Great Britain would ; perform !,hl3 work tr us as cheaply as any uuitr responsime Diuuer. "Before acceding to this section of the peace treaty the Senate should carefully note what such a grip of Great Britain would mean not only to tho United States but to all other nations of the world wishing to do busi ness with the United States." Emphasizing that the principal ar- : gument in defense of the Shantung i award was that China would lose nothi ing as Japan merely secured rights formerly held by Germany, Senator ; Lodge said : j "People shut their eyes to the moral ; issue and the methods employed by i Japan to get this claim, and do not j realize its economic and political significance. Attention is frequently wiicu m me iiici mat me uerman concession does not include the en- ! tire Province of Shantung, some 35 000 square miles (about the size of Illi-

nois), with a population of some 40
millions, but only the territory surrounding the Bay of Kiaochow, some 200 square miles in extent, with a population of 195,000; and it is further added that Japan has promised to re store to China the political rights over even this territory of Kiaochow, retaining only the economic rights. The Japanese seem to have scrupulously avoided calling attention to the most significant single fact; that is, that in the agreement which they forced ! China to accede to in connection with this settlement, they reserved a Japanese settlement selected by themselves, to remain tinder the absolute control and direction of Japan." Japan's settlement rights, the -majority leader stated. Include wharves, railroad terminals, telegraph and cable offices, postal facilities, customs houses and exclusive railroad development rights into the heart of China and outside of Shantung. Grasp on 40,000,000. "Certainly this is no very small hold on 40,000,000 people," he argued. After the outbreak of war the Japanese, Mr. Lodge said, "apparently Strengthened their methods of closing an open door and have been more aggressive, if not to say insolent, in their treatment of the Chinese." In an effort to obtain control of China, Japan has almost forced loans on her, Mr. Lodge declared. "It is the deliberate opinion of both foreign and other observers," he said, "that threats and bribery were deliberately used. The purpose clearly was to tie up in Japenese hands the best of the resources of China at a time when other nations were so occupied that they could not interfere. Unless some change is made in these records, China will be seen to be largely mortgaged to the Japanese in such a way and to such an extent that the already acquired rights of other nations will be seriously infringed." In conclusion, the Republican leader urged adoption of the amendments transferring to China the rights in Shantung given to Japan by the treaty. Aw,ard of those rights to Japan, he said, was "a wrong to man and to the cause of freedom and justice."

"That surely was a great ride," said one of the West Point cadets to The Associated Press correspondent. "It took my breath away a number of times on the way up and I had my heart in my mouth many times. I was ready set for a big jump in case that Italian chauffeur started backing up.
