Britain and the United States, or to France. to
whom navy is but secondary defense Naturally,
Japan finds it hard to sacrifice her latest and
greatest. If she may but keep them, she would
balance theN account with older ships to which
she has grown accustomed, that not quite
so new and fresh and phenomenal Still, if she
must. she must.
Having gained her dearest wish, having saved
bitter shock to her sensitive soul, having become
of the greatest four instead of remaining
one of great two, Japan will pay the price
gladly, and her people will respond loyalty. The
Japanese have as much pride sensitveness
and now that they are officially and definitely
of the family of the West, there, can be no occa-
sion to doubt them. The settlement to Yap
touched the heels of the greater treaty The
naval agreement will follow in quick succession
None of this involves China Yet China was
supposed to be the very marrow OF the confer
renee. She looks like exaggerated ego,
an altrustic excuse for very practical settlement
of related matters: Yet policy as to China has
been agreed upon and will be announced purely
as policy. 1t will probably consist of the four
Root articles, which may much, but say so
little. They combine a general pronouncement Of
the John Hay open door" adopted the nine
nation policy of the conference members.
But China will gain far more than this, and
lose more. By direct negotiation the complete
recovery of Shantung seems almost assured, while
quite as complete Toss of Manchuria seems
we'll assured But Sbantung is the sacred prov
nce, the birthplace and home of Confucius, in
the very heart of the Empire, while Manchuria
is on the north border loosely held and
tainly of the Empire. This is about as far as
the conference go. Even the postal concession
is contingent the future because, a govern
ment entity, there is China.
The Chinese have been very prominent, very
loquacious and very insistent, but China has not
been here at all. For this reason and because
it must, the conference will not dissolve it will
adjourn. If China becomes government, it
may meet for her affairs, but in any event, it
must be within call to carry out its own con-
clusions and watch over its own dicta.

ues balance the present position
of the farmer. then America will be
on the eve of the greatest wave of
sound and stable prosperity this or
any other country has ever known"
Mr.. Seiberling said.
This country probably never will
see another year when we shall sell
as few as million automobiles.
When we reach the point of satura-
tion, as IL is called, renewals will
always exceed million cars a
year"
EXpedients temporarily to relieve
the Unemployment situation. II they
add to the taxpayers burden, Mr..
.Seiberlng asserts, will retard, rath-
er than accelerate, a revival of bus
mess.
"Liquidate down to the farmers
level, so that he may market his
products proftably and be in a po-
sition to buy what he needs as
cheaply as he sells" is Mr.. Seiber-
lin-'s advice to business.
America must not wait for STA
bilization of European currency and
build on any early substantial i'm
provement in our export trade. We
must apply ourselves to working
out our own situation until every
body is at work at a properly bal
anced rate Of wages and all living
costs and commodity prices adjust
ed accordingly
business cannot be stabilized un-
less all are willing to cooperate in
the assumption of losses. The big
trouble is that we want the other
man to liquidate while we hold our
own. Any man who is unwilling to
assume his share of the loss is an
enemy to readjustment"
Concerns unwilling to liquidate
and take their full share Of the es-
sential loss, Mr.. Seiberling said, are
not deceiving anyone but them
selves and are really standing in
their own light.
The buying public never was so
discriminating as today" he added.
I'VE have learned some lessons as
nation from the business depres-
sion of the last year. We have
learned the value of money and the
true value Of commodities We need"
Railroad freight rates, wages,
taxes and the cost of fuel all must
come down and come down imme-
diately to start the farmer buying
again. And it must be borne in
mind all the time that, there is no
hope for an Improvement in bus
mess until the buying starts with
the farmer"
Mr.. Seiberling indicated lower
freight rates as the starting point
land we cannot get lower freight
rates until all railroad labor has
been brought into balance with
other classes of labor that like the
farmer, have been adjusted to the
bottom" he added Some classes
of railroad labor have been brought
into the balance with the times, but
that is not enough. The readjust-
ment must be applied to all rail-
road labor"

To the Editor, The Washing ton Herald:
The independent party in Vir-
Einia, formerly the Republican
party, certainly succeeded in the at
tempt to purge the party of colored
American voters. For a long time
the fidelity of the negro voter has
been surpassed in this virtue only
by the loyalty of the family dog.
He has believed as Frederick
Douglass once aptly said, That the
Republican party was the ship-all

the sagacity and studied efforts of
the political bosses. the masses Of
Republican voters are ready for

TO hone that leaders can be found
VINO can stem the tide of dissolu-

OF colored folk have been discred
tied by their employers and are
without honor from the rank and

or the present social and political
system in the South can he ac-
cepted as leaders. 1t is automatic
that those who pay the fddlers will
call the tunes and since so-caIled
negro leaders are those whose an
probation comes from the elements
in control that mean nothing for

out one glaring defect which can

application of a little common sense

refer 10 the stupid and health-im-
pairing practice of compelling our
little children to stand in line with
uncovered heads, often in a cold
wind. for 1--WE minutes before
marching them into the building TO
their respective classrooms. Is our
worthy superintendent unaware OF
this practice? There IS surely no
secret about it. The farce is en-
acted officially two or three times
each school day, under immediate
supervision Of a teacher who keeps
strict watch that each head is
properly uncovered and Thoroughly
exposed Immediately after the chill

/ i Pause, aspirants for public acclaim through

Prior to last Independence Day. one of Henrys
claims to the laurel lay in his Greekke torso and
bulgng biceps. 1t the night of the ami
versary of that most notable American holiday that
he decided to revolt against the tyranny of an un-
caring world. Accordingly, he and his aides de-
scended upon community festival like the Assyr-
ians upon the Israetes, vanqushed all corners, and
achieved front-page prominence.
Henry's prowess impressed certain promoting
gentlemen of Washington and New York and a
short time later him about to enter the canvas
foored ring as the latest heavyweight find" From
the sparring contest in which Henry and his oppo-
nent engaged the sporting writers of the metropo-
lis CLEANED many columns of highly jocuar material
being alleged that the performance eclipsed anv
vaudeville act then showing.
Thus Henry fell into bathos as quickly as he
had risen to gadiatoral estate. But the worst was
yet to come. Yesterday he was sentenced to one
year in Marylands House of Correction by circuit
judges sitting at Rockville. 1t was the laws toll
for the July rumpus.
