JAPAN FAVORS
NATION BEING
WELL ARMED
TOKJO, Oec. IS (Correspondence
of the Associated Press) Tie Japa
nese press appears generally disposed
to welcome the project for a league
of nations An occasional writer as
sails the Idea.
Thus, Rear Admiral K Kate writ
ing in the New Public Opinion, tie
clares that the formation of a league
of nations would be a blow to the
expansion of Japan Hut. tak- n as a
whole, the Japanese share tin faith
j of the allied peoples in the political
unification of the world. Intellectual
I sections of the Japanese art giving
the question careful attention l)r. K.
Toda of Kyoto University is cot con
tented with the political rearrange
ment of the world. He suggests that
such a rearrangement may prove un
workable unless accompanied by an
economic one 11c asks. In effect, if
territorial ambitions are to be
checked, why not peaceful subjuga
tions?
Professor Abe of Kelo University
j expresses a similar view in the Ko
Kutnin. The professor states his in
j ability to connect the talk or tie Amer
icans about peace, humanity and jus
tice with the pushing on of their na
val construction program
Rear Admiral Kato expresses the
I opinion that there is a grave danger
j of China being transformed into an

i The victors in the war may not re
sort as openly as Germany ilid in

tion of China, but. he asks, who can

| France, when faced with adverse con
ditions. will not rattle the saber? With
: China thus circumstanced for Japan
to hope for peace would be futile
What. then, should Japan do to guard
j against this? he asks' To him. no
j other way is discoverable than that

WITHOUTFOOD
FOR WEEKS IN
| NORTH RUSSIA
ARCHANflKL, Nov. 2a (Correspond
once of the Associated Press) A
| trawler loaded with American food has
J just poked its way through the dan
| gerous reef dotted waters of the White
j sea along the shores of the Kola pe
1 ninsula and brought relief to the in
J habitants, who were, in many In
[ stances, actually starving, in one vii
j lage the residents had had no sugar
for two years.
The trawler, in charge of Captain
D. O Lively of San Francisco, an of
I fleer in the American Red Cross, re
! turned to Archangel yesterday, after
' an adventurous ten days' cruise.
"The people living in the villages
along the shores of the peninsula are
1 Russians, of a blonde, probably an
cient Scandinavian type." Captain
Lively told the correspondent. "They
live in almost perfect communal
state, but there is no Bolshevism
amongst them Altogether there are
about six thousand inhabitants in the
port of the peninsula, mostly living
in the villages of I'niba. Kuzonian, Te
traani. Tschapana and Ponoi To the
north of them are the Laplanders, but
these people tire of a pure Kuropean
type, and we saw among them many
beautiful women
"The ice is already tilling the riv
ers, and the Arctic winter will be on
quickly We have left them enough
food to last them throughout the win
ter. At Tetrani there had been no
ship in two years. They had eaten
the last food of any sort except llsh
two weeks before our supplies reached
them. Some of the men were too
weak to carry a small sack of barley
“The entire coast line has been
swept by influenza, which has taken
terrible toll bemuse they were abso
lutely without medicine At Ponoi,
where our ship had to leave quickly
to escape the ice, thirty persons died
in a week out of a total population of
three hundred They also have had
much scurvy
“All along the coast we were hailed
as "saviors of Russia." The people
here think just that that America
will save Russia from all its troubles."
