4 Notable Diplomatic victory.

The victory Of Dewey at Manila was
an epoch making triumph, but in its
way no less important and far reach
ing in its effects is the victory just won
macy. The victories of peace do not
make so many popular heroes as those
of war, nor arouse so much enthusiasm
among the masses, else the name of
Secretary Hay would be cheered now
on every street corner and in every
public gathering. The announcement
that the "open door" policy will pre-
vail in China means that our large and
swiftly growing trade with China is
safe beyond question. and that the vic
tory has been won by the United
States alone.
The compact which Secretary Hay
has secured is of the most comprehen-
sive and binding character. 1t was not
with China herself that we had to DEAL
for our commercial treaties there in
sure us lull IlSulS al ilci pcit -, put
with those European nations, France,
Germany and Russia. which are grad
ually intrenching themselves upon
Chinese soil. 1t has been feared that
once having power there they would
exclude our goods from the provinces
over which they had control, just as
-,
car. But now we have positive assur-
ance from all these powers that our
commercial rights in the East shall be
fully respected, though we do not own
a foot of colonial possessions on the
continent of Asia. 1t is guaranteed
that th:s c--.1-.-1le C--l...or WI con-

ritory the European powers may an. TX.
There had been talk of concerted 2c-
ton by the United States, England Gnd
Japan on behalf of the open door"
policy, as this commercial fairness is
called, but American diplomacy has
accomplished the desired result with
Out diu II 10 d HotdDit Nltloly, du'' ltS
results will be more and more apparent
in coming years. 1t is simply the
triumph of fair play, and makes it car-
tain that whatever power Europ an
nations may gain in Asia, Amer AN
goods and American enterprises and
American citizens shall not be dis
criminated against.
Since the memorable achievements of
Anson Burlinsame, American diplo-
macy in China has always been strong,
aggressive and effective. The able
men who have represented our govern
ment in Pekin have. moreover, been
adequately supported in Asiatic waters
by American war vessels. 1t is eX
tremely unlikely that this latest vic
tory in the East which will add so
much to our world prestige. would have
been won had il not been for the work
at Manila of Dewey and our Asiatic
squadron. This not only opened the
eyes of Spain but also those of the
great nations Of Europe. and made
them glad to grant requests from
Washington which otherwise they
would probably have politely ignored.
And thus expansion means much more
than the gaining of islands in the sea.
