' Far East Parley j an 'Assured Fact I (fontlmird frem rce One The fait accompli has tremendous com pulsion. There is to be a conference on the Pacific in which all the other geat powers will join. Con Japan stay out? If she does, and the other four powers agree on policies respecting thje Far East of which rtie does not approve che ha not only i-oloted her elf diplomatically but she has arrayed herself in opposition to four great co operating powers j iThe dangers of staying out are too great. Only if she were twice as power ful as Fhe is could he afford to put hcrfelf in this position. 5 The Administration hero i aware of b"r difficulties and is movms steadily to' put her under compulsion to abandon the ground she pained durins the war aid to treat with the other Powers re garding Asia on a basis of equality with tb.cm and not as a Power possessing special Interests on the continent be cause of contiguity, to borrow the ideas ofcthe Lansing-Ishil agreement. j Plan Equality In Asia One of the objects of this conference li: (o end Japan's special position in Attn and replace it uith equalit of op- ortunltv there for all. One step in nese Alliance. "The fundamental cause for post ponement of the renewal." the editorial asserts, "is the disinclination of the English to renew the alliance at the cost of the friendship and good will of the Americans. If It ever Is renewed. It will be after the termination of the Harding conference, and its contents would merclj supplement the decisions of the conference." Former Premier Okuma has issued a statement praising the courage of Presi dent Harding in "inaugurating a his torical move which is certain to be greatly beneficial to the Japanese pnople " In welcoming the idea of the con ference. Baron Toshtro Sakatani. former finance Minister, said the extent of the limitation of armaments was go closely connected with con siderations of the balance of power in the Pacific, as well as with the indus trial capacities of the different powers, that the conclusion of a practical agree ment would, in his view, be attended with difficulties. President Fujiyama, of the Toklo Chamber of Commerce, said that Presi dent Harding's cull met the Ideas of the Japanese business world, which favored an international agreement such ns would permit the reduction of Japan's big array, now deemed neces sary to cope with possible dangers in Asia, and that it would present a good opportunity for Jnnan to prove to the world that she was sincerely ambitious to promote peace the tnres and consequent relief for people from excessive taxntion. Senator Pomcrene objected to the nonnniiAfl lnts-A n nHPftnfl n t rtttB fnt tliA army and nuvy, declaring the latter I since lfiSl they especially not to be justlned in view of present world conditions. "If there ever was a time In the his tory of the country when our expendi tures should be kept within the revenues It la now, when business everywhere Is staggering tinder the load," Senator Pomcreno said. "Much is being said about the de plorable condition of the farmers, but Fight Over Revision the farmers are in no worse condition Contlnurtl from Pare Ona have received $10.- 437.230 from the State Treasury. Of this amount there has been given, according to figures quoted before tho Supreme Court, to Catholics. $8, 000.000: to Protestants, $1,000,000; to Jews, $1,000,000. The Anti-Sectarian Appropriation Association of Pennsylvania has been the genesis and mainspring of this moement Its membership is confined than are the manufacturers of the country or the laborers.

These men give their services to the association without cost or compensa tion, I am informed. This Is to avoid Iho charge that they are actuated by nny other than patriotic motives. The Anti-Sectarian Appropriation Aisoclatlon has a membership, of up ward of 1000 scattered through the State. It is not a secret order. The members pay regular dues nnd fees. However, and herein it claims po tentiality; it is indorsed and sustained bv the patriotic organisations of the State. What value Is to be' attached to this Is problematical. The estimated mem bership in all the patriotic secret socle ties in Pennsylvania varies from 250. 000 to 300,000. This is exclusive of certain Protestant secret religious or ganizations. A new angle to this problem Is the strength of the various Jewish and Catholic societies and sodalities, Any universal movement, such as rutlined above, will unquestionably cause a revival of Interest among these thnt will augment their membership, for or against.

(By A P i Th IHwspapers this morning pav high trlh ue to the initiative of President Hard in In proposing a conference of the grat Powers on the limitation of aima mpnts. They declare the moment is op Wrtune to study ways of lightening the World's crushing burden of armament expenditures. Popular enthusiasm Is notteeablv tempered, however, as the newspape'r eqinrhcnt indicates, by the failure of i Japanese-statesmen to arrange a prompt renewal of the Anglo-.Iapauesc Alliance and by the feelinz that Janan mm lmr i to'fncen powerful Anglo-American com bination in the ruggested conference on Far Eastern affairs, with the Chinese Ire the background as a diplomatic force tot be reckoned with. "We realize the importance of the proposal." said a distinguished Jap onese public man today, "but why con fine 'the deliberations to Far l.nstern questions? Tho proposed limitation of arinamente is International ; why. there fore, should pot the discussion of prob lems apply to the Atlantic as well as the racinc? ' iOn the other hand, some Japanese naval experts have openly proclaim d the desirability of reaching an no oid on poIJcleji as the precursor to limitation the formulae of which they assert could b left to experts.

M. C. A.'s or Young Women's Christian Association or tho numerous other religious nnd sectarian societies nnd organizations have, con trlbutcd either Indorsement or financial aid to the work of the Anti-Sectarian Appropriation Association. Many of them have received appro priations. It l hardly to be expected that they would Indorse a movement that knocks the financial props from be neath them. The coming fight Is to be waged over Article III. section 18, of the Consti tution of Pennsylvania, which is as fol lows : No appropriation, except for pen sions, or gratuities for military serv ices, shall be made for any charitable, Mlnrntlonal or benevolent or denom inational or sectarian institution, corporation or association. Those who favor continuing appro priations from the State Treasury to what are designated as religious and sectarian Institutions uill vote in fa vor of n constitutional convention. See Deneflt In Convention The only wny that these appropria tions may be continued Is by wiping out the offending clause or modifying It so tluit It will bo harmless. This can be dene by a new constitutional convention. Those who oppose the granting of further nsnronrlations to sectarian and religious institutions nnd bodies, will oppose the proposd constitutional con- vention. They are averse to any chan In the fondaraental law. Their votes will register their desire to retain the constitution as It Is. The present con HtitUtlon prohibits sectarian appropria tions. ' A constitutional convention might change this. Curiously enough, the two big politi cal leaders in Pennsylvania Republican politics are at odds, and bavo been, on this question. Senator Penrose has ftom the first consistently opposed any revision of the Constitution. "I can see no necessity for It. The present Constitution has served us ad mirably, and on general principles I am opposed to any changes In the fundamental law of the Common uealth." said the Senator In a conver sation with me at the time when the question of a Constitutional Convention was being forced to the front. It is possible that with his charac teristic farsightedness the senior Sena tor sensed the commotion that was to follow the proposition. Governor Sproul regards ti.e Consti tutional Convention as a necessity. He Is of the opinion that we should have n document that is abreast of the times. His object In having the Legislature permit hfm to name twenty-five mem bers of the convention was that he might appoint the members of the con ference called last year to discuss tho practicability of a new" Constitution.
