No Move Expected to Force

Will Give Up Shantung
By ARTHUH SEARS HENNING.
Chirac Trlbuna-Omaha Hta lm4 Wlra.
Washington, Nov. 24. Japan is to
stay in Manchuria. . .
Thii prediction of the outcome of
the international conference is based
on a careful canvass of the attitude
ot the delegations of nine power.
From these expressions it is evident
that there will, be no concerted move
made in the conference at any time
to lorce japan to relax its grip on
Manchuria or to prevent the eventual
penetration of Mongolia.
Japan will give up Shantung.
' though it will insist on retaining
joint control with China of the Shan
tung railroad and will acquiesce in
whatever actfon . the other powers
agree should be taken to remove
foreign restrictions on the function
ing of the Ch ncse government and
to promote the stabilization of con
ditions in the oriental republic.
Understanding Reached.
As to Manchuria, however, there is
a tacit understanding there is to be
no interefcrence attempted with the
expansion of Japan on that part of
tne As.atic mainland. Such expan
sion is generally regarded as neces
sary to Japan, not so much to pro
vide room for settling surplus popu
lation as to obtain coal, iro.n and
other raw materials, for Japanese in
dustries. ,
Japan having failed as a colonizer,
aims to relieve the congestion of
population on its arable land by
transfornvng itself from an agricul
tural into an industrial nation.
Japan concedes that ' both Man
churia and Mongolia ; constitute a
part Of China and agrees to. the ap
plication of the Root principles tp
these provinces as to the remainder
of China. In retaining its interests in
Manchuria, Japan will promise that
it will do nothing to impair the ter
ritorial or administrative integrity of
China or the open door for the trade
of other nations.
It maintfcus that there is no such
impairment now, though American
concerns have been complaining of
Japanese interefence with their trade
in Manchuria and Japan has been ex
ercising a good deal of political con
trol in. the localities of Japanese concessions;-
-'V ' : '
.--, Wish to AyoidFi8M"''r"t '
The real reason, However, that
Japan is to be allowed to retain its
' foothold in Manchuria: is that Japan
is a strong power and would not give
up Manchuria without a fight. China
is a weak nation which not only does
not intend to fight, but is content to
, remain defenseless, and the United

Railways Propose
Wage Reduction
And Freight Cut
Substitute for Order of Com
merce Commission on Oc
tober 20 Urged By
Carriers.
Washinaton. Nov. 24. A 10 per
cent reduction in carload freight rates
on farm productions, coupled with re
duction in railroad wages, was pro
posed by the carriers to the Inter
state Commerce commission yester
day as a substitute for the order of
the commission datea ucioDer cv.
reducing rates on ha yand grain
shipments. The substitute schedules
would be effective "for an experi
mental period, pi six months." The
commission was asked to reopen its
decision of October 20, in order that
argument be given in behalf of their
proposal.
The suggestea reuueuon on tai-
load shipments, it was explained,
would cover grains, hay, cotton and
cottonseed and ' its products except
meal and oil citrus and fresh fruits,
live stock and dairy products. I he
scone of the proposed cut in wages
was not indicated, the statement
merely saying that "the benefit of the
reduction thus obtained" from the
railroad labor board shall be passed
to the public in reduced rates.
To Include Reductions.
Any reduction in rates made since
September 1,1920, would constitute
a part of this .10 per cent" under the
railroads,' suggestion.
"The effect of this proposal,' said
the application, "will be an immedi
ate' reduction in carload rates oa the
products of agriculture and the
products of animals, but as soon as
and to the extent that a reduction
in wages is obtained from the labor
board on the proposed application a
further reduction in rates (except as
meanwhile put into effect) to be dis
tributed among users of transporta
tion in such manner as this commis
sion mav determine.
"The proposal thus deals imme
diately with tne needs of agr'culture
and undertakes to make further re
ductions not confined to agr.culture
as soon as further reductions are
made possible."
"Your octitioners," the application
continued, "submit that, if there -is
to be a reduction in rates for the
benefit of agriculture there seems
little justification for confining such
reductions to grain, gram products
and hay or to any particular section.
The economic reasons in favor of
reductions apply with equal force to
other products of the farm ?nd to
other sections.
' Want Cut in Costs.
"Your petitioners, in view of the
condition and of trle special needs of
the transportation industry, do no;
believe that any further reductions in
rates than those herein mentioned,
should be made until there is a-re-ducticn
in operating costs."
This proposal' was made by the
carriers, the application pointed qui
to aid in the economic readjustment
and relieve the "serious economic
distress"' of the agricultural industry,
despite the fact that 'the financial
condition of the railroads does not
warrant such a move.
"The net operating income of the
railroads in 1920 amounted to
$62,000,000 as against a normal' in
other years of more than $900,000,
000," the application said, adding that
"even this amount of $62,000,000 in
cluded back mail pay received from
the government for prior years of
approximately $64,000,000, thus
snowing, when the operations of that
year alone are considered, an actual
deficit before making any allowance
for either interest or dividends."-

China to
Go Down
Fighting
Delegates Determined to Take
Aggressive Attitude and De
mand Showdown on Con
crete Propositions.
Fireworks Likely Today
By PHILIP KINSLEY.
( blraro Tribune-Omaha Bee Lcaurd Wire,
Washington, Nov. 24. .China,
fearing a combination against it of
Jr.pan, Great Britain and r ranee,
with America unwilling to translate
general good will into fighting
words, has determined vto nail its
flag to the mast and go down fight
ing in this conference. From now
on its delegates will take an aggres
sive attitude, demanding a show.
down on concrete propositions. The
meeting of the committee on Pacific
and far eastern questions tomorrow
is likely to have fireworks.
Several developments of the last
few days have disquieted the Chi
nese, i he Bntij.li suggestion yester
day of the extension of the four
power consortium and the pooling
ot all railroad and other concessions
in China is described as the first
showing of "the cloven hoof," a proof
that there is an understanding among
certain powers to get hold of the
finances and resources of China.
The interpretation credited to Eh-
hu Root that the .first of his four
principles adopted means that all past
Chinese treaties are made legal and
binding is taken as showing ' an
agreement to recognize the -status
quo in China. This would react to
the distinct advantage of Japan and
keep the saber in Chinas side.
Pressure Tightening.
The further interpretation of
these principles by Japanese that
past actions and accomplished facts
in China cannot be taken up at com
mittee meeting without unanim
ous consent is another surprise to
the Chinese. More and more they
feel that the pressure against them
is tightening. They dare not enter
into an agreement giving any rights
or conceding anything. Their own
position, to which attention was
pointedly called by the French at the
last committee meeting; is too in
secure. .
Chinese just, returned from China
declare, that the people there would
welcome the consortium and would
like to have foreign capital and exports,-,
but .would not agree to put
more money or power into the
hands of the present Pekin -government.
Japan -is -sitting- tighr Trml is
not conceding anything exceot
harmless general principles, which it
interprets to suit itself. Mr. Root,
who is leading the American delega
tion in. these negotiations, appears
to be anxious to find only an area
or field of agreement among the
powers concerning China.
Rely on Public Opinion.
When it comes to the questions in
which Japan is vitally interested and
cannot recede, a way will be found
to ignore or postpone. It appears
certain that some kind of reference
tribunal must grow' out of this con
ference which will deal in the fu
ture with complaints and applica
tions ot the principles in which the

Steady Improvement
Reported in Australia
Washington, Nov. 24. Continued
improvement in the financial condi
tions of Australia was reported to the
commerce department . today by
Trade Commissioner Sanger at Mel
bourne. On the whole, the situation
is much better than a few months
ago, . he said. .
The improvement, he said, is evi
denced by the advance in exchange.
and as the export figures continue to
increase and imports decline there
are prospects, he added, of still fur
ther improvement. The wool market
remains generally firm, he reported,
but stagnation continues in the meat
and meat packing industry.
Another promising feature, he said,
was the expectation of an exception
ally large wheat crop.

Crisis Expected Soon

London, Nov. 24. The iicgotia
lions for an Irish settlement arc
feared to be nearing an unfavorable
end, according to a high authority
today, and there, is apprehension
that next week may witness their
collapse unless more favorable cir
cumstances shall develop.
It is stated that Ulster is no
longer presenting the sole obstacle,
but that the Sinn Fein has refused
to accept allegiance to. the king al
though willing to take the oath to
an Irish constitution.
Reject Veto Right.
Furthermore, and equally import
ant, it is added, the Sinn Fein will
not agree to a veto of Irish legisla
tion by the British crown.
The Sinn Fein idea is said to bt
a completely independent Irish state.
although loosely connected with tin
other states in the empire. Acts oi
parliament creating British domin
ions give the king the power o;
vetoing all legislation, but by con
stitutional usage this veto is now
never, exercised. The Sinn Fein,
however, is declared to have mad
known its belief that a similar veto
power regarding Ireland would con
stantly be used at the will of the
British cabinet. The government ic
gards this difficulty as fundamental,
it is asserted, and should the Sinn
Fein attitude remain unchanged, the
negotiations, it is declared, must
come to an end.
