"American proposals that Japan, Great Britain and the United States 'take a naval holiday Is eloquent proof that despite the fabulous riches of America she wishes to curtail national expenditures and therefore the proposals are Intended more to help America than to contribute to the peace of the world, said Marquis Okuma, former Japanese premier, in an interview here Tuesday.

Defrees, president of the" United States Chamber of Commerce. "Our policy In Tailing to recognize the dignity of the teaching profession has led to a class consciousness In that profession 'which has made itself felt in the classroom and left its Indelible imprint upon the impressionable mimfc of the young, declared Mr. Defrees, who adds that of the 500,000 public school teachers In the United States: One hundred thousand are under the nge of 21 ; Thirty thousand hare no education beyond the eighth grade; One hundred and fifty thousand have no education beyond the third-yea- r high school; and Four hundred and eighty thousand, or four-fifth- s of the total, have not had two years of special training, the minimum required In other countries. "One reason why radicalism has not made the same headway In the United States that it has In Europe, Mr. Defrees continues, Is the fact that hundreds of men occupying positions of the greatest Importance In this country began life as poor boys. But what have we got to say of the Inequalities of education? "Eighteen thousand classrooms in this country are said to have stood Idle last year through lack of teachers. puTaking an average of twenty-fivpils to each classroom, that means either denied 450,000 children were education altogether, or were crowded Into their classrooms, where they were given such education as they could get from an overworked, underpaid, undertrained teacher."
