That Gynccoingi.t.

Tho Confession OF Il Gynecologist," pub

of which l quote n few:

From woman:

ana not win such girls. for II they had al

When Is a Subsidy Not a Subsidy?

When Is !, Subsidy Not Subsidy?
WHEN President Harding delivered his
w annual message TO Congress he re-
ferred briefly to the need for legislation to
encourage the American merchant marine
In so doing he invited the tolerance of
Congress for IA very few weeks until Il plan
may he submitted which contemplates no
greater draft upon the public treasury and
which. though yet too crude TO offer ii to-
day, gives such promise OF expanding our
merchant marine that il will argue its own
approval" On It's face, that statement
sounded good and speculation has since been
busy as TO the details OF the plan.
II is now announced that the President
carly in January will submit special
message in which he will propose to Con-
gress that American shipping be ''remu-
neratcd" at rate of 10 per cent of tho
amount of tonnage imported by each YES
sci, and AT the same time he will ask for
the repeal OF that section of the Jones
merchant marine act providing for reduced
duties on imports carried in American bot
toms. This new policy Involves the abro-
gGtion of no commercial treaty between this
and any other country and, in the view OF
the President, il ''contemplates no greater
draft upon the public treasury"
While the 10 per cent remuneration in
volved in this program is softened in its
Earring effect on public sentiment by care
full avoidance OF the use of the term ship
subsidy" indirectly the plan amounts 10
pretty much the same thing. Under the
Underwood tarin act discriminatory tariff
of 10 per cent was laid against goods i'm
ported into this country in foreign bottoms
Due 10 the fact that the war interviewed and
disrupted our foreign trade. this provision
HAS never been enfareed. Under the pro
posed plan OF the.-Pr-s Nent this dscrimi-
natory provision, which otherwise would go
into the Federal Treasury, would be divert
ell 10 apply 10 the 10 per cent remuneration
for all American ships on the basis OF their
foreign tonnage imports. Since this an
thorized discriminatory tariff of 10 per
cent has never been collected The President

ton "dontcmplatcs no greater draft upon
the public treasury is justified In other

Chincsc.Japancsc laundering

tY/IT interests and aspirations so dia-
w metricaly opposed. it has seemed from
the beginning. even from the conception Of
the Washington conference, that it would
be next TO impossible to bring Japan and
China i'll an agreement upon Il Far Eastern
policy. If any solution of that problem was
to come it has been apparent that it would
nave to be forced upon one or the other
both the nations most directly involved.
1; has appeared to many observers, there
fore, that ii was a mistake to have taken the
Shantung question outside the conference
and 10 have undertaken through "conversa-
tons between the Japanese and Chinese
delegates TO have settled that issue even
with Secretary Hughes and Mr. Balfour sit
ting in friendly advisers. 1t is difficult
to see how these two delegations could
come to an understanding without COM
plete surrender the part of one or the
other
Looking at the whole Japanese-Chinese
controversy impartially it is evident that
both governments have been guilty of Sc
rious plumbers. Their delegations in Wash
ington have not been guided by policies dis
tinguished either for wisdom or courage,
and it is not at all surprising that a dead
lock should have come. These governments
were firmly deadlocked before the confer
oHce began.
Take first the case OF Japan Her dele
cation either was timd or oyer-adroit at
the outset. The Japanese should have put
out at the very beginning a program with
specifications for dealing with the whole
Far Eastern business. They should have
stated in definite terms exactly what they
were prepared to do toward the restoration
of Chinese integrity and sovereignty If
they entertained generous intentions toward
"a nd lanrn nrppn raH tn,
concessions in order that the Chinese might
once more enjoy full independence, they
should have taken the lead in the discus
sion and not have awaited developments.
Instead, the Japanese held back They
wanted to sec the cards of the other ma
tons before showing their own. They adj
vancCd no concrete program They talked
in CONGRATULATIONS for days about the impor-
lance OF preserving China, and Of assuring
her full Justice but that is as far as the
Japanese were prepared 10 go.
1t is now apparent to all that this was
mistaken policy as much so, in fact as
has been the policy Of tho Chinese during
the course of the conference. The Chinese
delegation has been aggressive. 1t has been
obstinate, and when it seemed to be losing
ground in its negotiations, certain members
OF the group rendered their designations
No one seriously blumes the Chinese for
hghting hard to protect their national
rights. American sympathics have been
largely on the side of China and The Ameri-
can government without doubt, has been a
friend and valuable counselor OF the Chi
nese But the representatives of the Picking
government must understand that some
compromises may be necessary and that
China can only be restored by slow and pain
full processes.
Neither group of Oricntals to date has
commended itself very heartily to the i'm
partial public opinion of The world
