Is the Open Door Closing?

The determination of the entente nations to dominate
affairs In the far east becomes apparent every
time American interests seek share IN Chlna's Dig
business transactions 1t is becoming increasingly PLAIN
that through Russia and Japan the entente seeks to
keen the Chinese government under its thumb to the
detrimeut of the rest of the world
Two protests filed with the foreign office at Pekn
recently are in point In the first, Russia and
Japan protested against the awarding of contract to
an American firm for important railroad construction
work in China the complaint being that Russia was
entitled to be considered IN the negotiation; or IN other
words that Russian capital and Russian firms should
have been engaged.
In the second British, French Russian and japanese
bankers have protested China that S. 100000 gold
loan BY the Continental and Commercial bank of Chi
cago TO cover immediate administrative needs in China
was in violation Of reorganization loan agreement
made IN 1918.
China has not yet answered What the answer viii
be Is not known That the Chinese government would
not consider the second protest well grounded may be
taken for granted from the fact that the American
loan was negotiated with the unanimous approval or
the Chinese parliament after the foreign office had pre-
sumably passed upon it from the standpoint OF the
country's international obligations
American bankers and other firms seeking large ous-
ness transactions China may see what they are
to expect In every ike negotiation The entente IS
plainly endeavorng TO control China as absolutely as
possible without fagTanty violating the open door
agreement.
The result of the protests especially if more Of them
are filed will be to cause China to place her large con-
tracts IN quarters whence protests will be forth
coming.

Filling Up The Reservoirs

Arizona is evidently stocking up for another long
drouth Reports from Tucson and Phoenix state that
express orders for liquor shipments into the state range
from $1,000 to $4,000 day for each city, and the rest
of the state believed to be placing orders in the same
proportion, and this does not include of money
transmitted through the mails. If the people of the
state places orders amounting TO little as $4,000
worth of liquor day. the total for even week would
run high figures; enough for instance to support
some of the states institutions for year.
The present rush of placing orders for liquor IS the
result of Arzonas action in the recent election wher
the state voted absolute prohibition which does
away with the personal USE construction Of the pro-
hbiOn law, and makes the state as dry as was tor
