JAMES BRYCE, INTERNATIONALLY.

Ambassador Bryce in leaving the United States
will take with him measure of the good will and
wishes of the American people that has been the
possession Of few, if any, of his predecessors in d.
plomatc position. He has been looked upon by the
American people for many years-since long be-
fore his advent in the diplomatic 6eld-as one of
their sncerest friends and most able and intelligent
critics and counselors. Of mis- friendship, his de-
termination that nothing shall ever interfere with
the continued amiy of relations between the two
divisions of the Engish-speaking race nobody has
the slightest doubt. DR.. Bryce is student of and
spokesman for the broadest conception of Anglo
Saxon relationship to the worlds big business of
getting on and getting up. He is more than Amer
can, Englishman or provincial; he is real inter
nationalist exponent of the best that the English
speaking world has done and still aspres to do.

OUR HELP TO CHINA.

Except for barring them out of this country the
United States has been on very friendly and un-
selfish terms with the Chinese for number of years.
Indeed, as between nation and nation, there has
grown up rather singular sentimental interest in
China on our part and faith in us on Chna's part
Our Government has now recognized the new
Chinese republic. This may be of very little pract
cal importance the United States but it can and
probably will be of great deal of importance the
young republic in the Orient. While the great pow
ers have been withholding their recognition the
Chinese have had very hard time getting foreign
money to pay their army or to finance any of their
national affairs, and they haven't the money at home.
A government that is not recognized by other gov
ernments has virtually credit anywhere. Now tina,
it is known that the United States will recognize tho
Chinese republic, either European powers will an
ticpate cur action they will follow close upon our
heels They will do this to try to cut US out" SO
to speak, in the good graces Of the Chinese who
always desired as buyers and consumers of Eu-
ropean goods, however unwelcome they may be as
borrowers of European funds.
Tnis then, is another good service that the
United States Government has performed for the
Chinese. On the whole, record is very credit
able there. We demanded the Open Door for China,
get if open and kept it open. After the Boxer up
rising We refused to loot the Chinese taxpayers
upder the pretense Of taking legitimate indemnify.
Skme of the Indemnify which was awarded to US we
aetualIy turned back to the Chinese.
President Wilson has put a new force into our
friendship for China BY declining to mix this Govern
The Washington times., 1913-04-25

ment up in any international pawnbroking business,
putting the Chinese republic in "hock;" and thus we
leave ourselves free to be still unprejudiced media
tors in any future Chinese complications. And now
have recognized the Oriental republic, giving It
before the eyes of the world official standing 10
which it was entitled months ago and which it un-
doubtedly would have mad from us if we had not
been trying to tange up our Government in that
pawnbroking business
If we appeared to the Chinese to be inhospitable
and unfair when closed the gates of our country
to them we at least have been on the track since
then of making amends for that ungracousness, per-
haps doing them much more good in these latter
services than we ever did them harm in that former
one.

NOT A KICK, BUT

Far be it from US to give encouragement to the
mob spirit which would ball up our institutions and
menace our liberties by destroying all confidence
in established tribunals and procedures We realize
that the appeal from the tribune to the rabble is
the appeal from order to anarchy. We wouldn't
dream of countenancing any such thing.
But nevertheless ...
The time has come to say in a moderate, tenta.
tive and merely suggestive way, tnat the umpiring
on the home grounds this season has been rotten,
execrabe, outrageous scandalous, thieving vile,
monstrous, and-O where's the thesaurus?

WINELEss DIPLOMATIC DINING.

Come to think of it, those across-tne pond commen-
tafors who think Mr. and Mrs. Bryan are narrow and
provincial because they don't serve wine at diplo-
matte dinners, are possibly themselves tine provin-
cials. Are TO assume that, in the Saint James
view to serve or not to serve wine makes the diff
ference between broadness and narrowness, between
cosmopolitanism and provincialism?
Isn't it possible that Mr.. Bryan might retort
might, that is, if his manners were no better than
those of his critcs-that he aspired to liberalism
and cosmopolitanism rather wider than the rim of a
champagne glass?

AMENDING THE ERDMAN ACT.

It's all very well to talk about the pressing neces-
sity for amending the Erdman act. Every time an
other tremendous and imminent wage controversy is
settled under that act to the satisfaction of public,
employers, and employees, there is new outburst of
demand for amendment of the law.
Aad it really does need some amendment too.
But how on earth will Congress ever be convinced
that law that always does the business, that has
never yet missed fire, is in real need of being
tinkered?
