REPORT SHOWS PEAK IN BUILDING PASSED ,7ear of War Revealed by Japan's Action Geneva.--A grave crisis prevails in the peace discussions through Japan's Insistence upon an amendment to the proposed protocal of arbitration a^id security. When the arbitration committee had ery nearly completed its revision of the protocol text, M. Adachl arose and formally moved the suppression of the clause in the protocol draft which prolalms an aggressor state any country refusing to nblde by the decision of the World Court of Justice. The clause In question refers to disputes which one party declares to have arisen over a subject which Is exclusively within Its domestic jurisdiction. A member of the Japanese delegation made the following statement? We are determined In our opposition to tlie protocol us it now stands, because It puts Japan in a most unfatrrrble position. Japanese public opinion wlli never permit the government to subscribe to a document wh'ch loses the door on us and virtually makes diplomatic negotiations Impossible on subjects which the World court decided are solely within the national jurisdiction of a state with which we have differences. The immigration problem with the XTnlted States Is serious and has aroused the Japanese public, but there is a vast variety of other problems affecting the Japanese which other nations might plead concern solely their national sovereignty and hence are not subject to international arbitration. The Spanish-American war sprung oat of the administration of-"Cuba. .

A The peak of real estate vulues, rentals and building costs has passed and from this time op for a considerable period the trend will be downward. It was declared in the report which went Into all phases of the real estate mortgage situation, considered one of the most vital of Investment topics in the United States at the pregent time. This significant paragraph was contained in the report: ( • "Many dealers in real estate mortgage securities feel that we are facing a testing time as to the soundness and safety of a good many outstanding- real estate mortgage '>ond Issues. Statements have been made that loaps are out In amounts representing altogether too high a percentage of tlie appraised value of the property: that such loan:; nJght conceivably be good for a limited period, but that in the form of long-term loans in a cycle of declining values loans on such an excessive basis would quite surely prove unsatisfactory. It Is obvious that the greatest declines and heaviest vacancies will occur in the poorer districts and in buildings of lepst efficient design." In the last few years there has been a mounting total of securities sold, based on leaseholds rather than actyal land ownership and the special committee of the Investment Bankers' association which has investigated the subject warns that there are many hazards in extending stfch loans or selling securities based upon them.
