SCARCELY TRADE

From what most Of us know Of the shantunr ar
rangement. most Of us do not like it. And. to be perfectly
frank. 1t may as well be admitted that most Of the desire
in the United States for the prompt return to China Of
shantunE and ali that It contains is due more to suspicion
OF Japan than to the desire to secure equal and exact jus
tice for China, about which country most Of US know
rather less than we do about Japan.
But the statement that is often made that the peace
conference traded off a slice Of China for a League Of Ma
off what he does not have, and the conference did not have
shantuns to dispose of. at least without an effort which
would have involved some very unpleasant possibilities.
1t is true that If all the other nations had insisted
that shantung be restored to China at once. and had in
deated their willingness to force its restoration, the ter
ritory would. in all probability. have been restored at
once. But there was no such unity at the conference.
Italy. for instance. wanted territory, and was so far from
satisfied with what the conference was willing to award
her that ner premier refused to become a party to the
compact, and was cheered by the Italian populace for his
insistence on more. The support of Italy In 4 movement
TO eoerce Japan could scarcely have been counted on.
Japan when the latter country entered the war. long be-
fore the United States became a party to it. These two
nations could scarcely repudiate the obligations which
they, had assumed. Was the United States prepared to
start another war to compel restitution? That seems to
be a pertinent question.
Further. as one Of the practical possibilities there was
to be considered the effect Of leaving any OF the larger
nations among the Allies outside Of the League of Ma
tons There was at one time a prospect that Italy would
refuse to join. 1t is almost certain that without some
concessions with regard to shantung Japan would have
refused. Germany, Austria and Hungary are outside the
league for the time being, in any case. Turkey and Bull
ssria viii have no standing there for some time. Russia
cannot be admitted under existing conditions. Whether
the other nations had formed a league or not, the nations
named would have occupied a position of antaxonism
and adverse interest toward them, and we may rest as
sured that willy diplomats would speedily have essayed the
task OF forming a new combination out Of this material
which would speedily have menaced the world afre.h.
The disposition OF shantuns, therefore, can scarcely
be termed a trade, for Japan was already in possession,
and the problem Of inducing her to let 20 was by no
means a simple one. wv

GET THE FACTS

In discussing the street railway situation before the
federal electric railway commission. which he was in
s<unental in having created, former President Taft en-
phadzed the importance Of getting at the facts. He was
asked as to his views of the manner in which the COM
mission might proceed most usefully, and he pointed out
how such a body, representing the federal government.
and being free from the complications which are apt to
nation concerning the entire electric railway business In
all departments and from every angle. And he said that
it should be the business of the commission. regardless
Of what anybody said or wanted. to get the facts.
Il may be said that Mr.. Taft was dealing in truisms
But It is clear from the practice which is very common
~ followed in dealing with public or quasi public mat
tiers that in emphasizing the importance Of getting tho
facts Mr.. Taft was doing more than to utter a truism.
We do not always sc, the facts. Often We make no eff
fort to get them. And yet, in the absence Of facts, We
reach hand and fast decisions and often take action on
vital matters.
We hare a conspicuous illustration Of this tendency
in the manner in which various people have approached
the biggest subject before the country, the League Of
Nations. Some look upon the League of Nations as good
material out of which to manufacture Democratic cam
paiEn ammunition, therefore they are for 1t. Others
dislike Mr.. Wilson, and are therefore against it The
actual merits of the thing, and the facts concerning it.
are ignored.
An official board is charged with the investigation

proceed. on the theory that its business Is to convict the

It's operations.

PAYMENT IN GOLD

Problems of international exchange are beyond most
OF rs and even those who are popularity supposed to be
masters OF the subject, and even dictatoFs Of many Of its
vaxartes may at times confess themselves puzzled. It is
told that when the late ]. Pierpont Morgan was asked
the world understood exchange it was = certain expert
whom he named, and who was entirely unknown to the
public. and that as for himself, he knew very little about
it In that. of course. Mr.. Morgan was but an example
of men in all the ages and in all lines Of activity, who
have used effectively forces which they did not profess
to understand.
A present fact which seems 70 contradict a very
popular conception OF finance il that many prominent
business men in Great Britain are urging the govern
ment to discontinue the wartime embargo on the expor-
naon Of gold as a means of placing British trade on a
satisfactory basis, and to permit the settlement Of trade
balances by payment in gold.
There was a time in this country when the balance
Q: trade theory WAS held by a great many people to be
Of about equal authority with the constitution. and the
nation was held to be on the high road to bankruptcy
when its imports Of goods exceeded in value its exports
of goods, and there remained a balance which it must
pay in gold. This feature occupied = prominent place
In the literature and speeches Of every political cam
paign. Each party found in the existing and probable
trade balances opportunity to point with pride Of view

evidently Of the opinion that rapid turnover, which is
what ali business seeks. will be facilitated By providing
the means for making transactions as simple and con-

THE SUMMER coTAGER's COMPLAINT

THE SUMNER COTTAGER'S
I'm not the man to grumble and complain,
I'm patient and forbearing through the day;
I never raise my voice against the rain,
I seldom whine when trouble comes my way.
But. oh. I long for home and all 1t means,
- This sumne cottage life is now a bore,
I'm tired Of eating fish and pork and beans,
I've grown to hate my bed upon the floor.
The children now are sleeping three a-hed,
Poor little tykes that fret and toss about;
Our guests are wrapped in slunber overhead,
Nor dream nor care how much they've put you out
They call this place a charming, restful spot,
And praise the wondrous beauty of the shore,
I'd rather have the busy town and hot
I'm tired of sleeping nightly on the floor. sal.
When one departs another comes to stay,
Our visitors arrive by boat and train;
And I must row them daily round the bay
And play the sport and gayly entertain,
While mothers making beds 1 clean the fish.
Or go for ice a dreary mile or more;
For home and all its comforts now I wish
I do not like my bed upon the floor.
Come winter, with your bitter winds and snow,
Come autumn in your garb Of red and brown.
And let us quit this restful place and go
Back to our bed and .bathtub in the town.
I've had my fl Of summer cottage stuff,
For home today I'm hungry to the core;
II this is rest. I've really had enough,
I'm tired Of sleeping nightly on the floor.
