Ninety per cent Of our people earn their
daily bread in some way. and the high
cost OF living adds to the costs Of every
thing they produce. and eventually limits
our capacity to compete in the markets
OF tho world. The prosperous country is
q country in which an abundance Of
foods. clothing and all the necessities Of
life are produced and are TO be had. not
at tho highest price. but at the lowest
price. and arc to ue obtained not only by
a few hut by many. We are getting far
away from that condition In the United

We are experiencing a fictitious pros

In 1917 Mcssrs. Lansing and Ishii
agreed on the following new formula:
The governments Of tho United States
and japan recogniz" that territorial pro
pinouity creates special relations be-
tween countries and. consequently the
government Of the United States r"cog-
Mics that Japan has special interests
in China particularly in. the part 10
which her possessions are contingent.
We have apparently gone long ways
since 1905 from the open door policy as
to China and toward the recognition
Of Japan's special interests. America
has continually contendcd for equal
rights Of all countries as to trade with
China. equal opportunities. and no
favors. The I.ansing-Ishil note departs
from that historic position. We recog-
nize the superior claims Of Japan not
only in the ShantunG Peninsula, but her
special interest in China al a whole.
This concession may mean little. and It
may mean much. We can be sure that
the shrewd japanese statesmen will
make il mean as much as they can.
