THE SENATE AND ARBITRATION.

We see good deal of complaint
made in tho Eastern newspapers as to
the attitude Of the United States Sen
ate with respect to renewal of arbi-
tration treaties with Great Britain and
some twenty other nations, entered into
for term of five years, and now
about to expire. It seems to be as
sumed that the Senate is doing some
thing drcadfully wrong in showing re-
luctance about a continuance Of those
treaties.
But VIC do not see it that way. The
L. S. Senate is clearly of tho opinion,
to use a concrete illustration, that we
are not under any obligations 10 Great
Britain or to any other power with re-
gard to the use and control and oper.
alton of the Panama Canal which we
have built. Great Britain claims by
virtue of an old treaty, revamped un-
der the name OF the Hay Pauncefote
treaty, an equal liberty TO the use of
that canal with that enjoyed by our
selves, although Great Britain didn t
put a dollar into il and we built it all.
1t is true that some of our statesmen
agree with Great Britain in this mat
ter, while others. with even greater
reason, it seems TO us, dissent. 1t is
largely question of whether the
United States is to have the right to
do with its own as it will
Another reason which has developed
against any arbitration at The Hague
is the showing made that practically
the whole of Europe is found to be IN
league against the United States, not
only with regard to this canal ques-
tion, but on every other point of inter
national commerce or complication. The
United States is so big, so rich, and
apparently so careless of its money and
its rights. that all the greedy nations
Of the earth consider her a fair prey,
and subject to plunder.
There have been numerous express
sions of opinion in European countries
against the United States on the Pan.
anna question, as we'll as upon other
propositions, so much so that Euro
pean opinion may fairly be said to be
generally, if not unanimously, against
us. The plain question, therefore, is,
what chance would we have for justice
at The Hague tribunal, made up of rep
resentatives of nations which have al
ready declared against us through all
their public utterances. in newspapers
and by statements of their public men
in every possible way. It is all very
we'll to say that we should submit the
questions to arbitration, but what
sense is there in submitting questions
to an arbitration body that is known
to be hostile to us in advance? Our
case would be lost before it was sub
mitted.
The Senate Of the United States is,
therefore, only exercising due caution
and prudence In refusing to ratify an
arbitration treaty which would commit
us TO the submission Of questions vital
to US before 2 tribunal that is admit
tedly and determinedly hostile before.

ment of science. Of the commission on
public schools, on international coin
age, on gold and silver, and on cduca-

WILSON REFUSES AID
PRESIDENT DECLINES TO AP-
PROVE UNITED STATES
LOAN IN CHINA.
WILL NOT INVOLVE AMERICA
Chief Executive Declares for the Open
Door-AIso Comes Out Strong In
Favor Of the Budget System In
Government Affairs.

Washington, March 20.-In a state
ment issued from the White House
Tuesday President Wilson refused to
indorse the request that American
bankers participate In the Chinese
loan. The president expressed sym
pathy for the Chinese republic and
declared for the open door. The
statement follows:
I'VE are informed that at the re-
tain group of American bankers un'
dertook to participate In the loan now
desired by the government of China
Approximately Sl25.000.000). Our
government wished American bank
ers to participate along with the bank
ers OF other nations. because 1t de-
sired that the good will Of the United
States toward China would be exhib-
tied In this practical way. that Ameri-
can capital should have access to
that great country and that the Uni
ter States should be In position to
share with the other powers any po-
litical responsibilities that might be
the foreign relations of China in con-
nection with her industrial and com
mercial enterprises. The present ad-
ministration has been asked by this
group of bankers whether 1t would
also request them to participate In
the loan. The administration has de-
clined to make such request because
1t did not approve the conditions OF
the loan or the implications of respon-
sibility on it's own part which II was
plainly told would be involved In the
request.
THE government of the United
States is not only willing. but earn
estly DESTROYS OF aiding the great
Chinese people in every way that is
consistent with their untrammeled
development and its own immemoriai
principles.
The government Of the United
States is DESTROYS of promoting the
most extended and intimate trad e.
lationships between this country and
the Chinese republic. The present
administration will urge and support
the legislative measures necessary to
give American merchants, manufac-
turers, contractors and engineers the
banking and other financial facilities
which they now lack and without
which they are at serious disad-
vantage compared with their indus
trial and commercial rivals. This is
it's duty. This is the main material
interest OF its citizens in the develop
ment of China. Our interests are
those OF the open door-a door OF
friendship and mutual advantage"
President Wilson is in favor of

government finances. He made pub
lie here a letter written January 80,
from Trenton to Senator Tillman,
expressing the hope that a budget
system might be worked out after he
