Japan aireauy has Indicated that she would suggest the necessity of maintaining a navy equal to any which might enter her sphere In the far east; a proportion which naval experts say Is well In ex cess of her present power. It Is conceivable among American officials that some of the far eastern problems may be brought. sharply Into Issue as soon as replies are made to the Initial proposal of this government for naval reductions, Naturally the other powers will desire to set forth their reasons for the attitude they take on this proposal, and In the considera tion of -these reasons the conference may swing entirely away from the question of armament, efor the' moment and address itself directly to the causes for armament. The determination of the American government that these exchanges shall be kept as far as possible from the realm of underground diplomacy was reiterated today In highest administra tion Quarters.

Havent Reached Greensboro.- Reports that a selection had been made ; at Greensboro were not to be confirmed today; Instead, the net. office department sayi the clvrl service commission had not yet graded tire ureensboro applicants and no certifica tion had been made. Consequently It was said the Greensboro appointment is not even in tentative shape. The appointment of Mr. Benbow at Wlnston-Salem represents the Drln clpal postoftlce appointment Mr. Hard ing has made In North' Carolina since coming Into office. North Carolina nominations to date have been for smaller cities than Wlnston-Salem. ' 'The appointment of Mr. McCasktll as customs collector for the Wilming ton district seemed not to set well with former Senator Butler. Mr. Butler said he did not know It was going In today and seemed a bit startled and flabbergasted that It had gone In. "Just say that I have no comment to make at this time," said Mr. Butler. "I may say something later. Tou say the nomination has actually tnn Inf" Former Senator Butler was Informed' that the nomination was actually In; that It reached the senate at I o'clock today and there was no mistake about It, since tne treasury department am the President have approved the seleo- tlon of Mr. McCaaklll, as recommended by the Morehead-Llnney organisation in North Carolina, Mr. Butler now most take hu opposition to the senate committee on finance, to which the nomination will be referred. It Vhas been- known for some time that Mr. Butler was "sitting on" the McCasklll appointment at the treasury depart ment and the Mj'hlte, House. Secre tary Mellon Is said to have held ud the nomination for some weeks, following tne oDjectlon of Mr. Butler. Secretary Mellon. Is a peaceable, mild-mannered man and likes to straighten, out party tangles whenever It Is possible. That Mr. McCasklll and Mr. Butler have not been political bedfellows for some time past Is well known In North Car olina and Washington. Another Victory For Combine, The Butler influence, however, ap pears to have been strong enough to hold up the McCasklll appointment but not to prevent It altogether. How far Mr. Butler will get with the senate fi nance committee is problematical, but It should be remembered that so far the Morehead organisation has been putting over the "Greensboro slate" and Senator Hlram Johnson, Senator Borah, former Senator Butler and oth ers who have bucked the party organi sation In North Carolina have bean de feated. .The' Harding administration to this hour has shown that It Is stickler for "party organisation" and the organisation is having Its way in North carsssna, Virginia, South Caro Una, Maryland, Georgia and Ohio, and other states where Important appoInU menta recently have been made.

FUTILE TO HOPE THAT A Fl Dream of Lord Derby Shattered By Col. Harvey. , NOALLIANCE IS POSSIBLE - - Harvey Says It Has Been His Unhappy Lot In England to Dispel Illusions. COMMUNISM IS ATTACKED American Ambassador to Ceart of ft. James Delivers Address at Liver- , pool Defending Principle -t Individualism. Liverpool, Nov. 1. (By Associated Press) fleorgs Harvey, the United States ambassador to Great Britain, told an audience at tha Liverpool cham ber of oommeroe tonight that It was futile to hope that America, at Lord Derby recently had been suggesting, may 'some day be merged In a definite alliance with Great Britain and France. This statement was made as a di gression from an address on eoonomloe and the International Industrial situa tion in which the American ambassador attacked communism and soolallsm and defended the principle of Individual ism. .... .C i In his digression. Ambassador Har vey recalled Lord Derby' statement In a recent address in Birmingham, In, which the latter voiced the convlotlon that success of the Washington limita tion of armaments conference would mean peace and that Its failure would mean war In the Immediate future. The speaker also recalled Lord Derby's suggestion to former President Poln care of France at a dinner last Tues day, that ,jin.nglo-Frenchalliin.oe would be desirable In the Interests of peace, Intimating the "strong hope" that America might eventually 'Join tha combination. '. - - ; Harvey Dispels Illusions, "Now It seems to have fallen to my unhappy lot since I have been In Eng land," continued Ambassador Harvey, to dispel Illusions respecting the at titude of the . United States. I can conceive of no more effective ser vice on the part of an envoy, de sirous as I ani of eliminating all causes for misapprehension, than to set forth frankly any certainty whleh may bear upon the immediate future, however disappointing It may be to his hearers.' In pursuance of this policy, rlgfctful or wrongful as It may be, I feel Impelled to say frankly that the hope voiced by Lord Derby must be regarded as futile.' 'Our first President fixed the foreign policy of the United States clearly and unequivocally when he adjured his ernjn--never 'eeoec---'rrtrWe- nent alliance with any other , new, This policy has been reaffirmed by praottoelly all his successors. It was reiterated with great posltlveness In our latest national campaign by our present President and was confirmed by the majority of the people so great as to be beyond the pale of comparl In view oi these clroumstanoee am r doing more than stating ths wholly obvious and 'neacapable fact when I pronounce the entrance of the United States into any permanent alllanoe, however desirable that action may seem to be an utter Impossibility? May 11 noi oe, men, me part oi wiaaom 10 avoid discussion or even suggestion of a proposal which, however praise worthy it may be, could hardly serve any purpose other than to feed ene mies and distress .friends of both Great Britain and France who live In Amer ica?" The Aftermath of War. Ambassador Harvey in dealing with the subject of world economics, said the aftermath of the war was hardly less disconcerting and devastating that waa the war Itself. - , "At the expiration of the ensuing week," he continued, "we shall have reached the beginning of the fourth year, following the , armistice. Even then we shall only be approaching what we 'hope may prove to be the first definite and enduring settlements looking toward the lifting of burdens and the establishment of international agreements or understandings fore. shadowing prosperity, which can be attained only through fhe assurance of tranquil relations among tne powers of the world." There was, he added, political peace In a broad sense and it was Industrial peace that now was being sought and which must be obtained. "We must face the Issue squarely and manfully," ha said, "as It benefits our race. Ths first fundamental prin ciple that we must recognise is that economlo laws are superior to legisla tive enactments." - . Mr. Harvey said the way to peace ana prosperity was open If only em ployers ana employes would pursue it "even at the cost of some privation, though 'Infinitely less than that which the general public has suffered and Is surrerlng." The speaker expressed the hope that a guarantee not only of peace but of prosperity would come from . the Washington conference, which he said he anticipated would result In en hanced commercial co-operatton as the logical sequence of the political con currence between Great Britain and the United States.

This went over until tomorrow and Senator Smoot said he did not think consideration of It would consume much time. In the debats on the defeated manu facturers' sales tax plan, some Re publican leaders Indicated that a .skies tax might have to 'be provided for In connection with the soldiers' bonus bill, which they predicted would be passed at the next session of Con gress. Discussion of the sales tax was comparatively brief. Senator Smoot was the chief speaker for the plan, which was opposed by Senators Lien- root, of Wisconsin: McCumber, of North Dakota, McCormlck, of Illinois, and Nelson, of Minnesota, ot the Re publicans, and Senators Jones, of New Mexloo, and Simmons, of -North Caro line on the Democratlo side.. Before taking up the sales tax the senate perfected the committee bill with the adoption of some additional amendments - offered by Individual senators. The program for tomorrow was somewhat Indefinite, as Demo cratlo- leaders had not finally made known their plans with regard to the soldier bonus amendments. It was expected, however, that these would be reached tomorrow, and Benator Pen rose,, of Pennsylvania, In charge of the tax bill, said he thought It might safe ly be said that a final vote on the measure could be reached by Satur day pigiit; " A.
