accounts OF city officials, including the
Mayor. and the returned pay warrants
of these officials, which will disclose
where they bank. The gist of Hirsh-
fields plant was that everybody
knows the Mayor. If he wanted to be
crooked. could have made millions out
OF the traction situation by supporting
the traction crowd and sell out the peo-
pie. Can anybody imagine. then, that
he would stoop to pick up thirty cents?'
Hirshfield's reference TO the small sum
of three dimes was not further eX-
planned.
II was learned that subpoenas have
been served upon Comptroller Craig
calling for the production OF all the re-
turned pay checks of every city depart
ment head Commissioner and Deputy
Commissioner, including the Board OF
Estimate members, from January |, 1918,
TO date, and for all vouchers for eX-
penses or other payments to such Off
cials in addition to pay checks and war
rants The one exception relates to the
pay checks OF the late Frank l.. Dowl-
ing. who was President of the Board of
Aldermen after the election of Gov.
Smith.
The city payments to Al Smith as AL
dermanic President will be furnished,
along with the others. In form the sub
poena was a blanket one, with the OBJ
ject merely of saving the trouble of maxi
ing out individual subpoenas for every
city official.
From these pay checks. it is expected.
the banking facilities used by the vari-
Gus city officials will be disclosed, so
that the committee can, II IL finds such
action necessary, subpoena the bank
records of any officials account.
Comptroller Craig has been subpoe-
naed also to furnish a mass of documents
relating to sewer. grading. paving and
highway contracts in Queens county.
These papers will refer to the city's
contract with Frank Tinker. for regu-
hitting and grading Park lane, Queens,
the contracts with the Anoroc Construc-
ton and Engineering Company. with
which John Connolly, a brother OF Bor-
ough President Maurice Connolly OF

Most of the practice was OF defen

New-York tribune., 1921-11-13

In fact, the political situation Of Japan
at the time Hara formed his Cabinet
was such that only man endowed
with strong. will power, a resource
full brain and consummate skill and
tact could manage to tackle.
1t, therefore, speaks volumes for
the ability of Hara that for three
years he was able to steer the ship
of state safely through a turbulent
sea full of shoals and breakers, and
in spite of all the efforts put forth
by his political opponents to impede
his work, he steadily gained in the
confidence of the nation, until his gov
ernment became one of the strongest
that had existed in Japan during the
last fifty years.
Hara was thoroughly liberal in his
ideals and would have done with mill
tarism summarily and without cere-
mony if he conld have had his way. A
practical man to the core, however,
he knew that no ideal could be realized
at moments notice. He was patient
and worked slowly, but surely. to
undermine and ultimately destroy the
influence OF militarists, which con-
tinued to play dominant part in the
framing of Japan's policy for the last
half century. To-day the power Of the
militarists is on the wane. For hav-
ing SO far curbed it, large share OF
credit must be given to Hara. 4

China Must Be Made
Fact, Not q Phrase

But the process does not stop with
the self-denying ordinances which are
to follow definition Of the fact of
China; these are in reality only mega
tive steps. 1t remains for the United
States, Japan and Great Britain in
terms, and for Great Britain and the
United States in fact, to undertake the
gigantic task of making China a fact
and, not q phrase, If China is to decay
as Turkey did, as Morocco did, nothing
China cannot regain health alone-as-
suming that she can still be restored;
there will have to be some sort Of a
consortium, financial at the least, to
aid in such restoration.
This means q commitment. There
is no lodging the fact, but it does not
involve an obligation to defend from
tiers nor to undertake political associa-
tions Of an unlimited character. 1t will
not do to create China Of phrases, a
China diplomatically or even morally
acknowledged, but lacking all material
substance. The inescapable fact is that
the United States, if it is to give real
| ity to it's principles of the open door
and the integrity Of China, must be
prepared to assist in the restoration of
Chinese fact. If China cannot be re-
stored, there will be no open door and
no integrity. And, to venture one step
further in the citation of historical
parallel, Japan will push further on
beyond the Great Wall as France
crossed the Muluya in Morocco.
