The Idea behind that position l that
the brincine; of Japan proper within
the purview of the agreement when the
mainland of the ether three contract
ing parties Hi excluded Is tantamount
te regarding tin Jnpanesc as n weaker
people who should receive especial con
sideration at the hnmli of the ether
nations. Such n point of view Is de
cidedly offensive te Jnpan'.t national
prestige and dignity, it wan affirmed,
because Japan feels entirely capable of
protecting her homeland.
As the opposition m the Senate be
gins te assume mere definite form It Is
apparent that the fight In many respects
would be similar te thut against the
Treaty of Vcrualllles. The irreconcilable!,
will oppose the treaty even If reserva

Seme of the proposed reservations nl

form. Senater Ilerah has a draft de
claring that "no action of the high con
trading parties when acting under
Article Twe hhnll commit any nation,
either legally or morally, te the um of
force In meeting nny exigency."
Anether reservation te be offered from

It was en his requcnt an counsel for

trict Attorney Meyer.
Here is net thc eternal but the extra

warned about Urcndle's record in Xcw
Yerk, nnd ex-Judge Shny. a State cm cm

Were It net that the enlsode invnivnn
alrngcdy In one man's life, it would be !
a inrce. h it is. it ii4.n burlesque en
Pcunslvnnla politics, alid Its low grade
of official life in certain circles, which
permits one department of the State
Government te presecute a man for
stealing from It, nnd then defends him
nt thc snme time. In thc same court.
In the general clamor rising from all
parts of the state ever the Minim,,
dollars worth of unpaid bills for the'
support of public schools and eherlt-
eiiic innuuueiiH neaped tip for lack of
money hi the State Treasury, the start
ing point should net he overlooked.
It begnn at the Inst session of the
legislature.
Its Inception was a detailed pre
sentation te thc legislature of the State's
Income upon which all appropriations
for the ensuing two years were te be
based.
It was prepared in the office of Mr.
Snyder when he was Auditor General.
Whether through Ignorance or caro care caro
lcesncss, that statement te the legisla
ture was misleading and Is responsible
for present conditions.
False Idea was Conveyed
It conveyed u wholly false idea of
the revenues applicable te the general
expenses of thc Commonwealth.
It Is a well-known fact nbeut the
State Capitel thnt Mr. Snyder leaves
the details of his office te his sub
ordinates. If an thine gees wrong, lie
has thc convenient alibi, "I leave all
thes things te my subordinates."
Thc htntcment of cash receipts was
a jumbled array of items which in
cluded net only all money available for
thc running expenses of thc State, but
all ether Income, such ns thc ?4,(W,
000 In thc nutomeblle-licensc fund
which can only be used for certain pur
poses under the law. .
It gave te Auditor General Snj der's
statement n fictitious value. If he wus
net aware of tills fact, then his state
ment te tlie law-making body for its
guidance was thc result of an ignorance
that was inexcusable in thc Stnte's
chief fiscal officer.
Members of the Legislature, as a re
sult of this presentation of the Auditor
General nij! spurred en by their con
stituents and local charitable and ether
institutions, started en n rampage of
expenditure.
Kicnltnilv fiet a. Hit I
It was a saturnalia of appropriation,
nnd the spenders justified themselves uy
quoting the Auditor General's figures.
The estimnte us prepared by Auditor
General Snder covered n bhect of
pnper nearly two feet square.
On the face of It, it represented total
receipts for 11(10 of SeU.ODl.TO'J.OO.
This included, an I have stuted, funds
pre-empted for special purposes; "ear
marked," which cannot be used for any
purpose except that for which they have
been appropriated.
These should net have been Included
In the receipts available for the general
fund from which the public schools,
charitable and penal institutions, and
general running rxpcnt.cu of the Gov
ernment are paid.
After the "car-murUed" funds had
been deducted there remained actu
ally only $4;i.ti:7..-is'1.00.
Thc report of tetnl lcceipts for 1020
(was given by Mr. Sndcr as $02,071.-
1 207.00, when the actual sum available
for running expenses was only $13,-
7h0.233.00.
I'er two years then Auditor General
Snyder's figures gave tetul receipt ns
14.103,0(1(1.00, when, with proper de-
diictlens, the real llguicu were $S0,-
42tl.S.'!tI.00.
Members of the legislature, the Gov Gov
ereor, State officials and etlur.s had as
'n basis for appropriation In the Legisla
ture this ear $24.7.'t0,2,'t0.00 less than
had been represented te them.
Ndw Auditor P. posed Facts
It v.is net until the certified public
RiTiiuntunts einple.ved by the new Au
ditor General, S. S. Lewis, get ut the
books and segregated the various items
in thin statement, vvveks later, that the
statement was untangled. I
Governer Sproul and ever official lf
the Commonwealth, with the possible
cceptlen of the slntistii lans who mnde
up tills tuhle, could have no ideca just
where they steed. The Governer evi
dentl.v "caught en" while lip was wink
ing liver the appropriations. Then he
slashed millions from the inflated np np np
propriutleu bills before the last one left
his hands.
It was his belief that thc new sources
of levenue. thp coal, the gasoline aud
the increased collateral Inheritance
luj.es, would make up any deficit en en
ceiirugcd by the Auditor General's
statement.
Auditor General Lewis has recog
nized and decried this haphazard,
scnttcr-biained s.vstcm. In an address
en Stnle finances before the Htute
Chamber of Commerce en October II,
be placed the blame squarely, but dip
lomatically, where It belonged when he
biiid :
Definite Information Lacking
"Lack of definite intormutleu from
the fiscal orheert, of the Commonwealth
is one of the onuses for the appropria

in excess of the revenues of the State."
State Tieasurcr Snjdcr confesses
thai he didn't retain a copy of hlu
liguies te the Legislature.
There were three hundred copies of
this mimeographed report of the State
Income dcllveicd te thc Heuse, Senate

GENERAL AMNESTY DENIED
Washington, Dec. 2.1. President
Herding nnd Attorney Gcncrnl Dough
erty held a final conference last night
ever the number of war-time offenders
who will be rclcaseij from thc Federal
prisons this afternoon. Mr. Daughcrty
called at the White Heuse yesterday
morning, but was unable te complete a
review of the cases.
Action uie wuy or Ihc ether will be
taken in the case of Kugenc V. Debs.
If I. Is name Is net en the list of these
ficed In the grunt of Christmas am
nesty it will mean thnt President Hard
ing has decided executive clemency shall
net be extended ut this time.
It was learned yesterday that the
Debs case was before thc President for
consideration prier te IiIr announce
ment te be made late today. Little
doubt Is expressed here that Debs wilt
be able te spend ,n part of Christmas at
lca,t, at his home In Terrc Haute.
President Harding is expected te
make a statement at the time he gives
out his list of pardons. AVIth It will
probably be a digest of all the cases
In which offenders arc te be released.
It was stated officially yesterday
that Mr. Harding and thc Atteruc)
General arc weighing the. merits of cneli
case Individually .nnd that, wlille thc
public holds the Debs case apart from
the rest, no special favoritism will be
shown In any instance. Se far as thc
Department of Justice is concerned, the
fact that he received a million votes for
President will have no bearing.
Emphatic statements were made that
wlille a larger number of cases than
usual are being acted upon, there will
be no general grant of amnesty.

which thc Soviet authorities would use

The American Relief Administration, .
Mr. Hoever snld. has strongly epresc(i '
the view that the American people can
not be expected te contribute charity

source In mitigation of suffering among
the Russiun people. Creation of a buj -ing
commission te puichusc feed under
