BE6lli PARLEY WITH JAPANESE
Direct Negotiations Over Vexing Prob-
lems Under Way in Washington
—Yap Question Included
Washington — Direct negotiations
have been begun between the United
States and Japan for the settlement
of the questions pending betweeo
them
These include the Island of Yap the
immigration question the alien land
question and the return of Shantung
to China by Japan
The negotiations are being conduct-
ed by Baron Shidehara the Japanese
ambassador and Secretary Hughes
The settlement of the Yap question
would make unnecessary the consid-
eration of this question by the League
of Nations
It had been expected that the Yap
Issue would be left for adjustment by
the league council which is to meet
in Geneva The French government
in answer to the American protest
against the award of the mandate fof
the Ihland to Japan said it would
bring the subject before the council
It is understood that the basis for
settlement In the negotiation between
Ambassador Shidehara and Secretary
Hughes will be the Internationaliza-
tion of the cable privileges on the
island
The proposal is to settle the immi-
gration issue on the basis of the com'
plete stoppage of all Japanese coolie
Immigration with proper protection
for Japanese property rights already
acquired in the United States
Japan's promise to return Shan-
tung to China It is said is to be exe
cuted as soon as practicable and with
out reference of the question to any
European tribunal The Initial steps
have been taken for the evacuation of
the portion of the province held by
the Japanese the military force hav-
ing been reduced Advices from To-
kio have said that this force would
be withdrawn as soon as China pro
vided guards for the railroad and
property in the towns
Japan it Is stated will retain only
such privileges in the province as are
common jo the other nations

PLANS TO DEFIItll)
AIMED MR DEBT

President and Cabinet Decide
to Put War Loans Into Dot
Inite Obligations
CONGRESS MUST ACT FIRST
Administration Will Aek for 6peelfle
Authority to Carry Out Pillu-
le Vast Projsct
Washington — President Harding
and his cabinet have decided to
launch their plan for refunding the
nation's 10 billion dollar war loans
to tbs allies into definite obligations
and for the tale of such securities to
the American people
The first step on the part of the
administration will be to ask congress
for specific authority to carry out
this plan when it is worked out In
detail by the treasury
This Is one phase of a vast and
complicated project for the financing
of World War debts comprising not
only the 20 billion dollar loans of the
allied and associated nations to each
ether but the 33 billion dollar German
reparations
Mutual Cancellation Plan Rejected
The proposals of the French and
British governments for a mutual can-
cellation of war debts among the al-
lies have been rejected by the United
States and are considered definitely
shelved
If the Harding plan for the refund-
ing of foreign loans and their absorp-
tion by the people works out success-
fully It Is believed that a similar
course will be adopted by the allies
in dealing with their debts to each
other
The American government loans to
the allies are:
To Great Britain 34210000000
To France 2750000000
To Italy 1625000000
To Belgium 400000000
To Russia 190000000
To Jugo Slavia 100000000
To other allies 175000000
Total 39450000000
Nearly 1 billion more Is now due
from the allies In Interest on these
loans which has not been paid for
two years and all will not be paid for
another year at least
Under the Harding refunding plan
these loans to the allies which are
now In the form of 5 per cent ac-
knowledgements of indebtedness
would be refunded into bonds matur-
ing thirty or forty years hence at a
higher rate of Interest The Increase
in the Interest rate above 5 per cent
would be sufficient to yield the addi-
tional amount due to the United
States in defaulted interest
HARDING HAS A WORLD PLAN
Reports From National Capital Say
that Association of Nations Pro-
ject Hat Been Drafted
Washington — A plan for on asso-
ciation of nations has been drafted
at the request of President Harding
it was learned in a reliably Informed
quarter here
The draft now complete covers
several typewritten pages and Is con-
structed around the Idea of codifying
international law and setting up a
world tribunal after the plan advo-
cated by Harding In his campaign
speeches
This was the answer from admim-
Istratlon quarters to the- letter of
Hamilton Holt asking President Hard-
ing specifically what he Is doing to-
ward creating the association of
nations advocated in the presidential
campaign The plan is to ignore en-
tirely the Versailles treaty and the
League of Nations

A FOOD WAR GRIPS SOVIET
Government Supply Workers In Rus-

of Roving Peasant
Riga — Despite a multitude of new
decrees extreme difficulties still are
being confronted by the Russian Bol-
sbevikl In their efforts to supply the
cities with food from the country dis-
tricts according to independent Mos-
cow advices received here which are
confirmed by Bolshevist newspapers
The Moscow Pravda of June 8 says
that hundreds of agents of tho co-operative
societies are traveling through
villages with cash and goods for ex-
change for food bnt that they find
themselves handicapped at every turn
by the disorganization of the trans-
port system Sometimes the agents
are attacked and robbed —
In recent months says Izvestta
brigands as the communists call the
bands of peasants headed by General
Makno and others operating In the
fruitful grain regions have killed
about two hundred government sup
ply workers and destroyed about 6
million pounds of grain or enough to
feed Moscow and Fetrograd for about
four months
