shantung Comes Back to Plague

w HEN principle is violated. whether by
w nations or by individuals. the conse-
quenceS are inevitable. Soon late the
reckoning must conc and the price must be
paid This is true of the outrage of China
by Japan, acquiesced in by the peace con-
ference at Paris, as any other surrender OF
right to expediency. And the government OF
the United States, which party to the
unworthy proceeding, will not be able to es-
cape its share OF the blame responsibility
for the brutal invasion Of Chinese rights by
an unrestrained Japan.
Certain friends OF the President, alarmed
at the feeling against him for his part in this
proceeding, are attempting to show that he
was the sole objector among the representa-
tives OF the great powers; that he stood OBJ
stinately against Japan in this deal. and that
in his heart he is the friend and benefactor
Of the Chinese people All this may be
granted without lessening the responsibility
of the President.
No newspaper is more eager than this one
TO accord to the President the fullest recog-
milton for his services to America and Europe
and to mankind leading figure in the
peace negotiations. He fought a manly fight,
and. on the whole, a successful fight, for
better order of things. The program which
he conceived was carried out in the main and
carried out against the intrigue. the prejudice.
the antasonisms OF the most adroit diplomats
IN the world. For all this he must be given
full credit and abundant honor But he per-
mitted one compromise that was unworthy OF
him and OF the idealism Of which he is the
embodiment. He may have protested against
the seizure OF the richest of Chinese provinces
by Japan and have held out stubbornly
against that act, but he did not hold out TO
the end. He did not tell the Japanese as he
did the Italians that he would consent TO no
imperialism on their part; that he would
agree 10 no territorial conquests and to no
outlawry at the expense of weaker nation
II he had done this. he would have blocked
the whole game. OF that there can be no
doubt.
The stand taken against Italy's aspirations
In the Adriatie territory succeeded. Italy an
nounced. as did Japan, II would not sign
peace treaty which defeated its purpose Its
ministers withdrew from the peace conference
as the japanese threatened TO do, but in time
they returned and when the treaty with Aus
tria IS signed the Italians will assent to H.
The Japanese would have assented TO the
treaty With Germany. They dared not do
when the fact is recalled that their
designs were against friendly and an al
lied country. whereas those Of Italy were
against enemy country
The President need not be surprised there
fore. 10 find the Senate referring critically
from time TO time 10 his part in the Chinese
controversy. He need not be surprised il his
friends feel panied that he did not stand UNI
against Japan as he did against
Italy. If he had been in this country when
the Japanese victory over right and Justice
was nrst announced he would know how
widespread is the disappointment over his
sacrihce OF principle in this instance.
