CHINA PLEDGED

would not have been impressed by
the immense power behind Americas
benevolent attitude toward China and
the old misunderstanding probably
would have continued to the end OF 4
trans-PacIf1c conflict.
Viscount Ishii, one of Japan's
srewdest statesmen, however, has had
the opportunity of looking America
over in war time, and the result has
been to change practically over night
the fundamental basis of Japanese
American relations. BY no possibil-
ity could the head of the Japanese
mission have pledged his country to
the open door in China as far as the
United States is concerned, without
previous instructions from his gov
eminent. 1t is apparent Viscount
Tshii has been in intimate communica-
ton with Toxic since his arrival in
the United States and his present
pledge has all the authority of an off
cial communication.
The American government hI
been vainly trying for years to secure
from Japan just such a public assur-
ance as Viscount Ishii has given.
Governments operate their diplomacy
by means of precedence and Wis
count Ishii has established for Japan
the most far reaching precedent in
oriental affairs since America first
opened the question Of the open door.
Thus, by entering the war across the
Atlantic. the United States has
drawn assurances from Japan that
carry a. blow to jingoistic agitation for
Japanese-American clash.
Taft Sees Importance.
NEW YORK, Oct. lone of the
most important informal official an
nouncements ever made in regard TO
the relations between Japan and the
United States" was how former
President VIM. II. Taft today de-
scribed Viscount Ishiis pledge that
Japan will hold the door open to
China.
Judge Taft so expressed himself in
a telegram to the United Press, sent
from New Haven. He took occasion
also to emphasize the fact that Japan
had been .scrupulously careful
throughout her relations with the
United States to observe every de-
tail of gentlemen's agreements and
her treaties as making the Japanese
commissioners pledge all the more
SlgnlHcanL.
THE statement Judge Taft tele-
graphed, should relieve the hyper
sensitive alarm over the purpose of
Japan in the far east. 1t manifested
spirit of friedship to the United
States and pledge to maintain and
preserve China from spoilation which
was most reassuring.
at should be said with respect to
the course that Japan had pursued
toward the United States that her
statesmen have been most careful
secretly to observe every obligation
entered into with us by that power
Japan has kept her original
gentlemans agreement made with
the United States in 1906 and re-
newed in 1911, at the time of the
new treaty between the United States
and Japan-and has kept it like a
gentleman.
"The speech of the viscount was
most reassuring as to the permanent
maintenance of the friendship be-
tween our two countries"
Judge Taft added that he had been
familiar with the relations with
Japan for good many years" in de-
claring the Ishii announcem ent most
important.

HOW TO HAVE LAND
TITLES GUARANTEED BY
THE STATE.

That the law providing for the
Torrens system, which, though
on the statute books of this state
has heretofore been something of
a dead letter will be brought into
immediate use, and will prove
especially valuable in enabling
farmers to secure loans on their
lands under the new Federal
Farm Loan Bank law is evident
by the increasing demand for in
formation regarding the Torrens
system. For the accommodation
of those interested Prof. T. j..
Brooks Rural economist of the
Mississippi A. and M. College
has just issued the following
statement explanatory Of this
system.
The Torrens system of guaran.
teeihg land titles which has been
adopted by twelve states includ-
ing Mississippi, and by many
foreign countries, is now receiv-
ing particular attention, as the
Federal Farm Loan Board will
accept farms registered under
this act without question as to
title. Otherwise the title to
each tract of land that is pledged
for a loan under the rural credit
law has to be Investigated by a
special attorney appointed by
the Land Loan Bank, and the
