JUST WHAT DID Mr., WILSON EXPRESS
REGARDING LAHNAMEMCAN STAND?
Diplomatic Utterance Of the President Very Edifying to
Some Editors but About as Clear as Mud to Others
Perhaps 1t Means No More "Dollar Diplomacy"

Washington, March 22.-(Special.)-
Henry ]. Allen Of Kansas, who is rep
~resenting the Kansas City star ii
Washington this winter, has writer
the following regarding the recent
statement issued by President Wilson
at the White House on the Latin
American policy Of the new admins
tration:
Diplomatic language can be under
stood finally If it really means any
thing. | never expected to under
stand just what President Wilson'S
statement to the so-called Latin
American republics meant, but now /
know.
"A man. who heard 1t discussed by
a cabinet minister has told me, and
I understand it perfectly.
When l read it carefully 1 recog-
nized it as an exceptionally able state
paper. and shared in the enthusiasm
of the newspaper men and pronounced
1t a determined, Well-written 'ulti-
matum.'
I believed / shared secretly with
them likewise in speculation and un-
certainty as to what it really meant.
Indeed, late the night before, when l
read 1t hastily when it came hot off
the White House typewriter, l had an
inkling that a great utterance had
been made. I was interested n
elated from the first moment, when a
Well-knoWn Cincinnati newspaper
man came in and said:
Did you ever read a finer indorse-
ment of Secretary knox's dollar di-
plomacy than that? /.
Il grunted something unintelligible
and invited him to go on and explain
phenomenon which occurs in the twi-
1T MEANS he said, that you ro-
gressives who have been expecting
President Wilson to change the Taft
foreign policies will have to realize
that Mr.. Wilson is going to stand by
Them and he went out enthusiastic
ally waving the great state paper, and
I read his piece the next day inter-
preting the first paper of the new
president as an unqualified indorse-
ment Of Taft and knox
"As soon as he left a Well-knoWn
Philadelphia writer came in and said:
well, that puts Mr.. Knox's dollar
diplomacy to sleep, all right, all right

low wages and immortality among
women, Mr.. Foster said he had es-
tablished, through an investigation in
a certain city, that at least so per cent
of the women who fell did so because
both in England and America were
living too fast he thought, and ex-
| pressed the belief that ONE who
wore fine clothing were responsible
for some of the immortality, through
the temptation afforded girls who
craved fine raiment.
Stanley w. Finch, special agent of
the department of justice for suppress
sion of the white-slave traffic, de-
clared that in 500 convictions for vio-
lation of the white-slave law it had
not been often found that the victims
were influenced by low wages.
The great majority of these wom-
en- he said, come from domestic en-
but few of them from factories and
stores"
Many Men Engaged.
Government investigators estimated,
said Finch, that $4,000 men in this
country were engaged in procuring
women for white slavery"
The work of the department, he said,
already had resulted in a decrease in
the traffic. IN 80 per cent of the Cases
men were at fault primarily.
Asked by Mr.. O'Hara what he
thought of the whipping post punish
ment for seduction, Mr.. Finche re-
piled: ss&
changing is acme too good in many
cases"
Until men could be educated to fap-
preciate the enormity of %offenses
against society. he thought, there
would be a social problem, regard
less of the wage question.
Captain Hollenberger of the Wash
ington police force, testified that in
the segregated district here, the in
mates were decreasing in large num-
bers. He said that a record of all
women inmates was kept
do you keep a list of the patrons"
asked Mrs. Brayton Ransom.
NO"
Isn't that just as essential?'
"The police force would not be
large enough to do that" returned the
captain.

constantly interrupted by that strange
phenomenon which occure in the twi-
light one of half consciousness when
a man tries to yell il his sleep.
"The next morning l bought an
armful of metropolitan papers. The
Washington papers said in glazing
headlines:

The Baltimore papers said. New

President Wilson establishes new
policy for sister republics; no more of
Knox's dollar diplomacy
Another Philadelphia paper said:

THE New York Times said it was
a spirited, but solemn utterance, and
had aroused the dilomatic corps. The
New York World said it was the
ablest state paper of modern times,
but didn't commit itself as to what it
meant.
"All the papers united in declaring
1t to be high-class, st~atesananlike.
unique and determined. About one
third of them said 1t was a blow to
Knox and Taft; the, other two-thirds
said it meant that Mr.. knox's policy
would be sustained.
"They all agreed that it was an ut
terance of the utmost Importance and
expressed the belief that it would be
taken as final"

After Lieutenant Governor O'Hara
urged President Wilson to call a con-
ference of governors and represen-
tatives of various state vice commits
sions, Senator JUL urged an appro-
priation by congress for homes for
girls in six or seven great industrial
centers where women, travelling from
state to state, could Sc cared for while
seeking employment.
The government takes excellent
care of every pound of tobacco that Is
shipped from Kentucky" said Senator
JUL, land it keeps a careful watch
over every pound of butterine. Surely
it can devote some money and atten-
ton to the American girl who is fore
ed to travel in search of employment"
Senators JUL and Beall outlined to
the president briefly some of the rev

conditions are such as to demand ma

need the government back of this

The lieutenant governor urged par

fall, at which remedial legislation
could be discussed and planned. He
stated that the governors of 80 states

President Wilson thanked the COM
mission for their presentation of the
subject.
Il do not believe I can grasp the full
gravity of the situation from this brief
outline" said the president, but if you
will leave with me your recommen-
dations n record of your investiga-
ton l a assure you / will give the
matter serious attention"
Abolish Society Column.
Later in the day when the commits
sion held a hearing, Mr.. O'Hara at
the outset made public a letter from
Edith NJ. Thomas, a Washington so
ciety woman, who recommended the
adjustment of the society column"
of the newspapers.
IF fashionable, women really wish
to do something good" she wrote,
.'they can accomplish much by dis
couraging and doing away with the
society columns and cheap peronal
write l should not call the fash
ionable woman's example a cause of
vice, but it does enter into an i'm
portant part of the life of the masses
beyond doubt. The world it enters

people who try to live beyond their
means.
Arden Foster. International COM
missioner of the British Federation for

and Girls, and white -slavers, declared
the white-slave traffic in London was
