RECIPROCITY AND THE "OPEN DOOR"

Those Republican leaders in Congress are on
the right track who hope soon TO make con-
cessions to Philippine products in the tarlH
applied TO imports from the islands into the
United Ststes. There certainly should be no
disposition here to shut out from reasonable
access to our markets the people who have
been made dependent upon us and IN trust
for whom we administer the government of
the archipelago. The common interest of the
Filipinos and of the American people is the
development of civilization in the islands
through commerce. The chief object OF a
tariff against the Philippines is to prevent
them from being made a halfway house by
grace of the -'open door" system. in which
Chinese, japanese and European manufactures
can be landed and then shipped free to the
United States, thus evading contribution to our
revenues on the same terms goods shipped
directly from foreign ports Conditions in the
Islands differ so entirely from those prevailing
here that it may also be just to protect our own
workers in certain industries from those of a
tropical country, whose standard of living is
low: but for the most part our people have little
reason for any jealous fear of Filipino progress,
ind can well afford to encourage our depend
.nts and admit goods from the islands which
are the product of the islands at more favor
able rate than is given to foreign countries.
One method of extending this concession
which has been suggested in Washington takes
the form OF reciprocity. Such a tariff law
would provide that when the Philippine Com
missoners reduce the duty certain articles,
including American textiles. the President shall
by proclamation grant stated reductions of
duty On Philippine sugar and other products.
This arrangement would probably open up
quickly market for certain American goods.
but it would ignore some most important fac
tors of the Eastern situation. 1t is hardly
necessary for Congress 10 treat and barter
with the Philippine Commission. The island
government is completely under its control
II 1t wants 10 change the Philippine tariff il
can do so, and it cannot escape responsibility
for the Philippine tariff or any discrimination
fayoring American goods liz it by making il
appear 10 be the Independent act of subordi
nate governmental agency. The United States
through its Peace Commission in Paris for
maliy proclaimed TO the civilized nations in
taking the islands from Spain its policy ''tf
maintain in the Philippines an open door tt
'the worlds commerce" That means thai
E>sAi<n goods are to be admitted to the archi

THE TWO TREATIES COMPARED.

The question is here and there asked, some
times cautiously. but sometimes in good faith,
whether the new Hay-Pauncefote Treaty really
differs in any essential respect from the old one
of last year. An affirmative answer may un-
hestatingly and confidently be given by any
one who is familiar with the terms of the two
instruments, and for the sake of making this
fact patent to all it may be well to set forth,
through comparison of the texts, some of the
essential differences between the treaties.
The old treaty did not abrogate and did not
purport TO supersede the Clayton Bulwer Treaty.
but was rather a revision amendment of it.
The Senate before ratifyng it insisted upon
amending it by inserting a clause declaring the
Clayton-Bulwer Treaty to be superseded by it.
The new treaty in its first article explicitly de-
clares that it supersedes the Clayton -Bulwer
Treaty, thus frankly and exactly meeting a view
which was expressed by the Senate by a vote
of % to IS.
The old treaty, in Article II, declared that
'the high contracting parties ad0pt as the
basis of naturalization the following rules etc.
thus from one point of view seeming to estab-
lish a certain partnership in the guarantee of
neutrality between Great Britain and the United
States The new treaty, in Article III. says ex-
plictly the United States adopts" etc, thus
sweeping away the last traces of partnership
and vestng all power and authority exclusively
in the United States. The same change is fur
ther emphasized elsewhere The old treaty, in
Article III, bound the high contracting parties"
TO bring the treaty to 1.-The notice of other pow-
ers and invite them to adhere to it, This was
objected to by some as seeming not only to
make partnership between Great Britain and
the United States for the maintenance of canal
neutrality. but also to invite all other nations
infa
that article out of the treaty before ratifying it.
The new treaty contains no such provision and
makes no mention whatever of the assent con-
sent or adherence OF other nations.
The old treaty, Article II, Section T. provided
that no Notifications shall be erected command
ing the canal or the waters adjacent" To this
objection was made, and the Senate amended if
New-York tribune., 1901-12-11

,+,nc q st,nuIation that this rule should

It's own defence. The new treat! oihi's lna
clause and says nothing whatever ABOUT loi TN
o,+ions +bourh If gives the United States liberty
70 maintaia such military police along IL as may
he necessary to protect it against iawiessheos
ond disorder. 1t may well be argued that IL
,,nder the former proposed treaty an exphcit
prohibition was necessary to restrain the ohi'eu
States from erecting Notifications, the stuuieo
omission of that prohibition from the ne"
troo+v imnlies the conceded right of the United
States to erect such fortihcatlons II IL may seem
necessary to do so in making effective the guar
antee of neutrality and protection. The law
lessness and disorder" against which the United
States is to protect the canal are not reStricted
TO local riotings They may logically and fairly
include attacks by foreign powers. And if 10
protect the canal against such attacks 1t De
necessary to police it with an army. and to put
that army behind the most powerful fortiflca-
tions engineering skill can devise, there is not
a word in this new treaty which will restrain
the United States from doing. We do not say
it will ever be necessary or desirable to fortlfy
the canal. We trust and believe it will not be-
But if it ever should be. there need be no fear
that either morally or legally we should find our
hands tied by this treaty.
These are some of the essential differences
between this new treaty and the old one. We
think they are an ample and convincing answer
to the question which referred to at the be-
ginning of this article 1t will be perceived that
the new treaty is thus much more strongly in
the American interest than was the old One even
after the latter had been amended by the Sen
ate. And if the old thus amended was ac-
ceptable to the Senate by vote of 30 to Is,
there should not be corporars guard Of noes
against the new one. Indeed as have al
ready said, the only conceivable grounds OF op-
position to this treaty those of hostility to
the canal scheme ITSELF or to the idea of a canal
for the general use of the world. To those op-
posing it op this latter ground the words of
Senator Morgan on January IS, 1900, are to be
commended
We it 20 ourselves and to the whole
world that whatever canal shall build and
control shall be open, free and neutral to all
nations as its corresponding gateway. the Suez
Canal.
That is precisely the kind Of canal, exclusively
under American ownership, control and guar
dianship, that the HayP Pauncefote Treaty con-
templates.

Some OF the volunteer fire companies on Staten
Island which draw money from the city treasury
ought to be disbanded reorganized at an early
date. When the Fire Chief. whose central office
is in this borough. and who does great deal OF
effective and valuable work, condemns emphati-
cally the slothfulness and indifference of some
OF the volunteer firemen in Richmond. extensive
changes should be made. The evidence is too
overwhelming to be refuted explained away.

service which will be sound and loyal, earnest.
