WAR AND coNoUEsT-JAPAN's
STRANGE IDEA.

japan has modernized herself so
miraculousy in the short space of the
lifetime OF single generation that
one has come to expect from her opin-
ions and proposals fully as progressive
and enlightened as many advanced by
the most civilized nations OF the west.
This Is particularly true OF the sphere
OF international politics and diplomacy.
1t Is, therefore, little short OF amaz-
ing TO learn from a Washington dis
patch that Japan has suggested as n
question for The Hague conference the
adoption, as tenet of nle law OF
nations, OF this principle-that at the
end OF war each belligerent should
be entitled to retain permanently such
territory OF the enemy as it occupied
at the time of suspension of hospities.
No European or American power
would seriously consider such a pro
prosal for a moment, and none would
dream OF putting It forward for dis
cusslon. II is at least a century be-
hind the time. 1t is hopelessly, ut
terly incompatible with the whole
trend Of International practice and
thought since the congress of Vienna.
with the constant solicitude concern
ing the preservation of the balance
of power and the equilibrium of the
political world.
What would have happened to Eu-
rope II the Japanese proposal had been
recognized law In 1870 during the
Franco-PrusSian war? Paris would
have become Prussian and France
would have been wiped out, And
what would have happened If Napoleon
had been able to apply that doctrine?
Where would Germany, Italy. Austria.
the Netherlands be now?
OF course the situation has radi-
cally changed. In these days of pow
erful alliances and groups of powers
no nation can hope to destroy another
by conquest. Perhaps Japan thinks
its idea has lost the danger 1t might
have had before. and that the prospect
OF losing territory would even op-
crate as a peace factor. But the fact
remains that the formula has a me-
diaeval look and sound. and that war
for conquest is regarded as a thing
of the past An age of arbitration and
international courts, an age of great
peace movements, Of democracy, ma.
tionalism and open door is not an age
that will discuss the title to terri
tory based on the mere arbitrament
OF the sword.-Record-He

AMERICAN MONEY FOR RUSSIA

Something over $12,000,O00 of
Russia's new $5O,0O0.O 900 loan will be
furnished by the United States. The
United tSates' connection with the
loan seems to surprise some of the
Paris papers. There is nothing in
this transaction to get surprised at.
Europe has been little shy about
furnishing any more money to Rus
STA. France, which has been Rus
sia's largest lander, was unwilling to
furnish any more cash. Germany.
which had been contributing some
money to meet Russia's recent needs,
has none to spare at the present time.
This restricted Russia's market. and
the United States has been called in
TO make n contribution.
The United States has been fur
nlshing some gold to France and Eng
land recently. and it is in position
to land a little to Russia or TO any
other country which puts up the
right sort OF security. In the past
two or three years the gold move
ment has been toward us instead OF
form u.s. We have thus accumulated
large stock of the metal, for our
mines have been producing between
0.00O. 900 and $90.00O,OO0 annually
In the past few years. This move
ment toward us has diminished the
reserves of some Of the big European
banks, and It might be a good thing
for us as well as for Europe If the
balance were restored. Thus it hap
pens that the s12,0O0.000 which we
will furnish to Russia may help us
as well as Europe.
Something over $11.000.0O0 of gold
has gone out from the United States
since the movement began two weeks
ago, but the flow has ceased, though
perhaps only temporarily. Rates for
money have gone up. and this will
have a tendency to check the ex-
portation. But we can stand all the
drain which is likely to come 1t is
for internal improvements that
Russia seeks its present loan. This
indicates that the authorities in that
country think that the turmoil is
ended. and that peaceful development
of industry can be resumed now This
will be good news to the world. The
Russia situation has been menace
to the money market OF the world, |
and II permanent peace has come In
