CUTTING OFF NOSES.

One Of the most remarkable re
versals In administration policies is
shown in the refusal some time back
OF a group of nnuucicrs To- lend the
Chinese government $1,000. 600. the
apparent reason for the refusal being
tho unfricudlness OF the United
States government 20 the scheme
China needed tho money was good
for It. and tho lender would lay the
foundation for an influence and a
prestige in that country that would
be valuable TO MS as nation for
years to come. The administration
seemed TO be going on the presump-
ton that whatever was opposite to
former Republican methods was
surest OF being right Mr. Bryan in
particular took delight in reversing
the diplomatic policy OF his prede-
cessors and particularly In trying TO
create in the public mind an impress
sion that there was something sinis-
ter in every intelligent and earnest
effort of President Taft and Secre-
tary Knox TO promote American
trade and interests In foreign coun-
tries. This Chinese loan was the
chief count in the petty and vindic-
tive partisan abuse Of Republican
craftsmanship. and Mr.. Knoxs dol
lar diplomacy" was stigmatized as
something ahhorrent as involving
moral turpitude. and the Wilson poll
icy Of donothingness was set out in
virtuous colors by the unctuous re-
fusal OF this government to approve
any Chinese loan. All the big and
little government influences were
used to dissuade bankers or business
men from being allowed to develop
trade in China under the only pos
sible methods OF procedure known
to civilized people. Consequently the
Chinese loan fell through, and the
United States interest in China, de
spite the pretenses of the admins
tration that II was keeping the door
of trade open for all in the interest
of "higher humanity" went TO the
pot. Now that we witness with trep-
idation and regret the gradual clos
