THE AMERICAN COURSE.



Of Com mercia1 Interests.
We are what We have become, and we
propose to hold our interests as a world
power for the benefit Of the American
people. This is the Republican program.
Hence the recent Shanghai incident.
China is an enormous ma ton occupying
an enormous country, just now In a state
Of dissolution or reconstruction-no one
can tell which. The various nations with
various interests look upon its territory
with longing eyes, but it does not seem
best, with the interests Of all consid cred,
that it should be dismembered. 1t ap-
pears to be best for the interests of all
the other nations of the world that it
should be aided rather than divided.
This course has been decided upon by the
leading nations of the world, following
the suggestion and with the assistance Of
the present Republican administration of
this country. This attitude is certainly
right morally, and, in the long run, must
be right as to material interests, particu-
larly for the people Of the United States.
Russia and Japan are at war. There
has arisen an incident which Is some
what an anomaly in international affairs.
Warships have fed into a neutral port of
China and other warships have pursued
them. Under the laws of nations no
battle may occur in q neutral port, such
as that Of Shanghai. The United States,
taking the initiative, has promptly inter-
yened to see that no violation Of the laws
OF nations may occur, and has done this
because of the helplessness Of China, vast
as the empire Is. to enforce all proper In
ternational obligations in its own har-
bors.
This is but in keeping with the tone of
what the United States under the pres
ent administration has done before. 1t
suggested and induced an agreement be-
tween the great nations that China
should not be dismembered. Having tax
en- the initiative in this respect, it was
but right and proper that we should take
the initiative In seeing to it that what
was suggested and built up by us should
be enforced. This has been done.
That is the way the present admins
tration Of the government is doing things
That is the way it will continue to do
things. The doing of this Is for the
greatest good for all the commercial in
terests and other interests of all the
world. The doing of this implies and in
wolves immediate executive action by the
administration of the United States. 1t
Ii for the good of the world.
Imagine such prompt, sensible and
forceful action under the administra ton
OF man like Parker, admitting for
moment the possibility of his election.
Well, we can't imagine it!

Japan, already we are on the friendliest

lions Of tons Of rice Japan consumes
every year cannot, Of course, be defn-
itely ascertained. The total is some
thing enormous. But the sudden fact
appears that already Japan is begin
ming to eat wheat instead of rice.
With mutual regard and commercial
good-fellowship existing, and with Japan
now turning to hoar, and with the whole
western side Of our vast empire with
flour to give to the rest of the world,
the condition becomes most simple. For

considered, it is necessary that we should

The fact that the japanese army Is
