run ntuioinHiiun iu CAST ELECTION VOTE At both the Republican and the Democratic headquarters final warn Jlng was given Saturday that next Monday, October 9, -will be the last day for registration. Citizens who are not registered after that date will not be able to cast their ballots at the November election. Furthermore, It is pointed out, failure to register before the registration polls in the .various precincts of the county close at 9 .'o'clock, Monday evening, practically disfranchises electors as long as the ' present registration law remains on the statute books of the state, for the law provides for no future registrations, except In cases where a regis tered voter moves from one precinct to another, in which event such a voter must again register in his new voting precinct Party workers believe that the voters of Wayne county realize now the importance of protecting their rights of citizenship by registration and they fbelleve that more than 80 per cent of rthe vote cast two years ago, the heaviest by several thousand in the county's history, will be qualified to participate in the forthcoming election. Mistaken Opinion Attention is called to the mistaken (opinion held by quite a few people (that they were registered when called fiipon by the poll takers of the two parties. These poll takers have nothing to do with registration. Their i work is confined to ascertaining the political views and affiliations of those Ihey call upon. Party managers also call attention to the fact that those voters who have moved from one precinct into another I i i i r i l

How completely unfounded this suspicion about Japan was has been proved by the events as they actually happened. It is true that during the conference, Japan held out stubbornly for the right to maintain a larger navy, relative to the navies of Great Britain and America, than Mr. Hughes assigned to her. But after some weeks of discussion, Japan accepted the ratio of a navy three-fifths the size of that of America cr that of Great Britain. After the conference was over, and

after the Japanese delegates returned to their Jhome, Japan acted in a way to demonstrate that she meant not only to live up to the letter of the agreements, but to go even further. The head of the Japanese delegation to the conference was Baron Kato. Almost immediately after his return to Japan, Baron Kato took the office of premier. That fact alone was an eloquent sign of Japan's good faith. If she had any intention of evading the agreements she had entered into, she would have been most unlikely to choose as the head of her government the man who had actually participated in the making of the treaties and had signed them in person. Actually Gos Further In fact Japan has not only ratified all the treaties in full, but has actually gone further in the carrying out of the agreements about China and Si

beria than was called for by the letter of agreements. Japan has withdrawn her troops from Siberia, although she was not bound to do this at any fixed or early date. And in other ways Japan has not only lived up to the treaties but has gone even further in the direction of showing an intention to manage her foreign relations in the spirit of the Washington conference. The third nation to ratify the treaties was Great Britain. This ratification is in line with the disposition shown by Great Britain from the beginning. Both during the conference and since it ended, Great Britain has showed a uniform and generous disposition to be helpful in every way toward furthering the cause for which President Harding called the conference. To Know Stand Soon The other two of the five principal powers who signed the treaties are Prance and Italy. Of these two nations, nothing was ratified. Whether France intends to ratify, or to refuse to ratify, should be apparent now within a week or 10 days. In France, the treaties were referred, without recommendation to a committee of the French senate. Thereafter, the senate adjourned. It will come together again either next Thursday, or the Thursday following. As soon as the French senate reconvenes, it will be natural to expect the committee to report. When that happens or soon thereafter, we should be able to know what France intends. The reason Italy has not yet ratified lies undoubtedly in the fact that she is waiting to see what France will do. Italy wishes to have a navy as large as France's. If France, by ratification, accepts the size of navy assigned to her by the Washington conference, It aly will promptly ratify also. If France refuses, and insists on a larger navy, Italy will probably do the same. Motives Not Known What may be France's motives for delav. or what may be her future in tention. Is a subject about which there is much speculation. To go into that speculation fully would be beyond the

In any event, as soon as the French senate reconvenes, within the next 10 days or so, France's indentions will be removed from the realm of speculation to that of fact. Of the smaller nations which took part in the minor treaties of the Washington conference China and Portugal have ratified in full. We come now to the matter of the actual scrapping of ships. It was not intended that any ships should be scrapped until after all the nations shall have ratified the treaties. Ceremony First . After, and if, all the nations ,have ratified, there will then occur in Washington the ceremony of the exchange of ratifications. It is this ceremony that mark the actual completing of a binding contract. Thereafter the scrapping of ships in accordance with the treaty will be in order. In the meantime, some of the nations, including our own, in anticipation of the limitation of naval strength, have already stopped some of their construction of new ships. This covers the matter of the naval limitation treaty. The other important treaty arising out of the Washington conference was the so-called four-power pact. This treaty covers the islands of the Pacific, and the four nations, which signed it are America, Japan,

Great Britain and France. What has already been said of the naval limita tion . treaty is also true of the fourpower treaty. This treaty has been ratified by America, Japan' and Great Britain. France has not yet ratified it, and her intention about this treaty, as well as; about the naval limitation treaty and all the other treaties, will be known soon after the French benate reconvenes, about the middle of the present month. . Three May Go Ahead In the meantime, because of the doubt that has arisen as to France's Intention, an interesting suggestion has been, made. It is to the effect that if France should decide hot to ratify, the other three nations should go ahead with it anyhow. The idea would be to make it, not a four-power pact, but a three-power pact, with America, Japan, and Great Britain as the only parties to it. The especial significance of this suggestion lies in the relation between the four-power pact and the AngloJapanese alliance. It was for the termination of the Anglo-Japanese alliance that the four-power ; pact . was made. Until the four-Dower pact is finally ratified; the Anglo-Japanese Alliance remains in effect. If by any chance the French government should determine to be recalcitrant and refuse to ratify, in that event the purpose of ending the AngloJapanese alliance could be effected by transforming the t four-power pact into a three-power 'pact. This suggestion will be heard from seriously if it should finally turn out that the French government does not want to ratify the treaties. Expect Ratification Among those who are best informed; less apprehension is felt about the intentions of France than is current among those distant from Washington. Throughout America there is, because of certain things the French delegates did while the conference was in being, a general fear that the French jfre unwilling to be helpful in the purpose for which our government called the Washington conference. It is out of this recollection that the disposition has arisen to question the good faith of the French government. Among those closest to the facts, however, there is a generous disposition to take it for granted that the delay caused by the French has been due to the fact that the French senate has not been in session during the latter part of the summer. In any event, so soon a3 the French senate comes together again, it should be possible very soon to know definitely what are France's intentions. . (Copyright 1922 by the New York Evening Post.)
