Washington, Nov. 5. In consequence of Premier Hara's death, Yokota, Attache to the Japanese Disarmament Delegation, returns to Tokio.

A Discordant Note.

The State Department has cabled to the U.S. Ambassador at Tokio, Instructing him to offer the tender condolences of President Harding and the American people to the Japanese Foreign Office, President Harding says he is horrified to learn of the assassination of Premier Hara. Such an outrage is especially hard when the people of the world are about to gather at the conference table to discuss peace. It strikes a terribly discordant note.

COL HARVEY'S VIEWS.

New York, Nov. 3. Col. Harvey's speech cabled on 3rd October, declaring an Anglo- French-American Alliance impossible, is generally commented upon.

This Conference desires tu call alleation to the serious position breught about be the fact that several provinces do not recognise Peking, and bare thus withdrawn from the enforcement effectively of treaties tbrousb tbe Dermal diplomatic channels; and in this

The Morning World sarcastically compliments Co.

The Times calls upon the State Department to give him a sharp reminder that at the present juncture his role is not a speaking part. The Herald says that too much importance should not be given Col. Harvey's side remarks en international alliances when dis- cussing economic problema.

AMERICAN MINERS' STRIKE.

EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

THE WASHINGTON CONFERENCE.

It is reported that the American Conference delegates hava already prepared a daânite scheme for a far-reaching reduction of armamanta, which it will submit to the Conference. At the outset, it is stated, the scheme will show that the United States herself is prepared to submit to reductions sweeping enough to convince the world of her earnestness. She will state at once the maximum die-

The Yap-Guam Cable to be Opened.

Washington. Nov, 6. Arrangements have been completed for the opening of the Yap-Guam cable during the Conference. The agreement will be signed by America and Japan and approved by Britain, France and Italy next week. It is feared that the assassination of Premier Hara may delay the final agreement for the future as regards the island of Yap.

THE NEW HEBRIDES.

Melbourne, Nov. 5.

The fact has been revealed by Mr. Hughes, speaking in the House Representatives, that a French company-owning 600,000 hectares of land in the New Hebrides offered to sell the property and trading reacassians to the Commonwealth Government for £500,000, payable over five years. Mr. Hughes added that Japanese and American in- terests were also anxious to purchase the property if Australia did not accept. He did not favour the acceptance of the offer, as he did not think the benefits suggested would materialize. The debate was adjourned.

LENIN'S AWAKENING.

Reval, No. ù. It is reported from Moscow that in a speech at a meeting of the Communist party Lenin declared: "We must return from a state of capitalism to commerce on a monetary basis. Socialism cannot be realised in the near future. Retreat is again necessary. There is no other way. We must place ourselves purely on a capitalist basis. The strengthening of capitalism is admittedly a perit, but what revolutionary measure has not been periloust"

THE PRICE OF COAL.

Lond., Nar, 5..

The National Wages Board accountant, writing to the Journal Compendium, expresses the opinion that the minimum wages upder the coal settlement will apply to most districts in December. It is estimated that many collieries will then be able to eft twenty shillings a ton f.c.b.
