WOULD BAR HUN
FROM PACIFIC
BY ALLIANCE
Salisbury, Of Delaware, Of
fers Senate Resolve
to That End.


Germany must be barred from
the Pacific Ocean through the con-
bined efforts of the United States,
Japan and Great Britain, so Ssna-
tor Salisbury, of Delaware, insists.
The Senator put in a resolution
yesterday which would prevent
Germany from ever again posses
sing her far outposts. such as Kiao-
Chau, the Caroline Islands or Ger
man Sama, unless she shows to the
world that she is willing to main
tain the ordinary standards of man
kind.
Otherwise. the proposed triple al
liance-perhaps with the addition
of Russia and China-would stand
between her and her cherished po-
sessions, which she has already
made known will play a large part
in the negotiations about the peace
table.
The resolution was sent to the
Foreign Relations Committee.

proposition r-f....
no" he said, '1t il my own con-
ception. 1 believe it is feasible, some
thing which really can be done.
1T Is simply a notice to the CEN
trail powers that:
"'You shall be forever barred from
the Pacific Ocean. commercially or
otherwise. until you realize that your
fellowmen upon this earth must be
dealt with righteously, and that no
single race OF superrnen shall be
allowed to exist
This Is not a League of Nations,
or anything that is rcbulous. 1t is
a simple concretG proposition, that
could and would be carried out.
There is no mystery about it. 1t might
be necessary to have some sort OF
police force to enforce 1t and to
ascertain information
The Senator was asked IL he would
bar Germany from the Pacific until
the end Of time.
Must Learn Deceney.
Yes" he replied. ''unless she learn
ed the decency of the nations. So
long as she maintained threat toward
other nations, she should be kept
out, and her possessions retained by
those who have seized them. The
possibility of a threat would be de-
termined by her attitude, and the de-
termination would be made by the
concert OF the powers spoken of in
the resolution.
II have included Great Britain,
Japan and the United States, because
all of them have powerful fleets, and
a ~ 1h ta 40 ~
Russia II she organizes a stable gov
ernment, may be admitted. China is
now troubled by her own internal
questions, and she has no navy to
speak Of. But in time she, too, may
be admitted as a signatory.
The concert of the powers need
not be limited to those now engaged
In the war. There are neutrals
whose interests are affected One of
these is Chile. If Chile showed a
disposition to join and to furnish
her part of the naval forces, men
and money required, she would be
admitted. So would other neutrals.
Germany Must BE stopped.
: 81 do not see why this movement
could not be extended all over the
world, and allow the powers now
lighting Germany to join with neu-
trails, IL the neutrals wish, and pre-
serve the seas from the ravages of
the central powers.
Germany must be stopped. She
is buccaneer and her use of the
U-boat shows she is as CORY a pirate
as ever sailed the Spanish Main.
There would be plenty of naval
power to enforce the movement The
three nations named have large re-
sources. Great Britain's self-gov-
erning colonies. Australia and Can
ada, with their huge interests in the
Pacific would supply part of their
navies. or all IL necessary.
would Admit Japan.
'T would admit Japan on equal
terms with Great Britain and the
United States. She is entitled to II.
She has observed her international re-
lations with scrupulous, care,
and has great interests In the
Pacific. 1 believe the Japanese
ese friendly to us, and / take no
stock in the yellow peril We
could not do otherwise than ad-
init her on equal terms. She will not
permit any racial imputation, and
from a practical standpoint such a
concert would be well-nigh impossible
wiehout her.
"Kultur and schrecklichkeit cannot
endure any more upon the ocean than
they can upon the land. and Germany
must never be allowed to have her
Pacific POSSESSIONS again, or any ports
or harbors until she has demonstrated
to the world that she has learned
humanity"
The Delaware Senator will speak
upon his resolution as soon as he
can get 1t up In the Senate. He be-
