SCRAP-BOOk DIPLOMACY

There is something wrong some where when the Senate of the United States, in order to have an official record of the Kaiser's notorious mes sage to the President, is obliged to get copy of the first installment of Ambassador Gerard's narrative, My Four Years in Germany" for inser- tion in the Congressional Record. The fact that the Senate was compelled to take this round about way of get ting all the important information is reflection on our system of interna- tional intercourse.
 We are free to admit that much of the success of foreign diplomacy de- bends upon the secrecy with which it is conducted, but not all. Our Allies have made a practive of publishing much of her diplomatic eorrespon- dence, especially that relating to the outbreak of the war. Germany alone of all the foreign nations at war, has completely censored such eorrespon. dence and kept it's people in the dark at all times. We fear that our own government has unwittingly pattern. ed more ofter- the Prussian policy in this respect than that of the AL lies. How else does it happen that although the Senate with the Presi- dent the constitutionaly responsible ity for the conduct of foreign rela- tions, it was obliged. in this instance at least, to gain its information from the pages of the scrapbook. of for. mer ambassador that had already been given the widest publicity pos sible
 The President had his own reasons for not taking the Senate into his con. fidence, but it seems strange that the members of the body have been kept in ignorance of such Information res, pecting foreign affairs aa has been vouchsafed to both tEe parliaments and peoples of the old world demo2. racie5.

LOCOMOT|VESARE TOO HEAVY
 FUR USE.
(By the Associated Press)


 ATHENS, Nov. 5-There are ten monster American locomotives stand ing in line on a side-track at the Pir- aeus, the port of Athens, gradually go- ing to pieces for lack of use. They are evidence of the progressive modern methods which a recent government railway administration sought to put into practice, without, however. mak. ing due calculations in advance.
 It was felt that the time had come to modernize Greek railways, and an extensive project was worked out to that end. One part of the plan was to have the latest type of large and powerful American locomotives. These were ordered and ten of them were shipped across the Atlantic. They were greatly admired when they ar rived but when they were put on the tracks 1t was discovered that the light rails almost flattened out with the weight of the big engines, and the bridges. along the main routes were not strong enough to permit the en- zines to pass. It meant new bridges and new roadbed everywhere, and as the finances were not equal to the strain the locomotives were laid up for time. This was many months ago, and the locomotives still are waiting for the bridges to be strength ened.

the following request from Vincent

Il beg to make a request for the

The arms OF the universities of

Of the University of Toronto. Most
of these were already completed when

A certain number OF the universities
of your country, yours among them
have been selected to represent Amer

let me have a small copy of the arms
or insignia of your university for this
purpose
President Alderman granted the re-
quest most heartily and the arms Of
Virginia Will soon be placed with the
others of America and her allies.

Wsth regard to the enforcement OF

II is under this American concept

agreement will have its force not only
in the relations between Japan, China
and the United States. but possibly
among all the nations OF the world

China was not consulted in the
course IF the negotiations leading up
to these notes. The transaction mis-
carried in only this one respect: That
the note was To have been submitted
to China before II was made public,
The notes We're somehow made public
in Pekin as soon as submitted.
II is believed here, however, that
the notes WIN meet with the hearty
accord CT China. 1t was pointed out
today that the agreement very effec
tually delimits the scope of Japan's
activities in the celestial republic,
Hitherto no one has known just how
far Japan intended to go with her
paternal interests there. The ex-
change of these notes will mean the
withdrawal of all of those demands
of Japan which in any way infringe
on China's sovereignty
In the same way the United States
recognizes the right OF Japan to take
special measures In China. Ia pan rec
ognizes the right of the United States
to take special measures in Mexico,

In characterizing the agreement
reached TODAY, international lawyers
were at sea for comparisons. so far
In advance of any other International
principle have the notes gone. II is
far more than the Monroe dictrine.
1t is more than the open door policy.
The nearest analogy which was
brought to mind was the doctrine of
pan Americsnism. II might he called
pan Asianism, We're It not for the fact
that the United States of America Is
included.
1t is described as more than q Mon
roe doctrine because the Monroe doc
trine was ameasure for the safety of
the United States alone and on mat
ground only resented territorial In
fringement of European powers in the
Western hemisphere.
It is described as more than an
open door policy because It lays the
basis upon which an "open door"
policy can be enforced,
