CHINESE DISTURBED
BY THE BRITISH VIEW.

Washington, November 24--The
Chinese delegation is so seriously dis
turbed over a British view of the
open door, given general circula-
ton yesterday that they declare they
wouldn't dare go home should such
an Interpretation become the ap-
proved policy OF the Washington
conference. There is no indication
that they contemplate such an out
come, but as they await more
complete development of all the facts
in the case they are manifestly
greatly puzzled.
One official of the delegation said
tonight that China was ready to re-
fuse to sit in the conference any
longer II the British view In ques j.
ton really turned out to be the at
titude of the powers But he accom-
panied the declaration with an ex-
precision of confidence that the Brit

the pooling of operation of the rail-
way concessions did not represent
the policy of the United States nor
that of other delegations generally
toward China.

CHINESE PROBLEM

that the ambassadors council in
Paris disposes of questions arising
out of the treaty of Versailles, not of
sufficient Importance to bring before
a supreme council of the heads of the
allied governments.
Council in Paris
The council iaSParis is a semi per-
manent body which usually meets
once or twice a week, sometimes
more often, to take UP current ques-
tions relating to the near east. the oc-
oupied Rhineland. Upper Silesia or
the multiplex problems in the rela-
tionship of the Austria Hungarian
states. The decision of the cojincil
must be in accord with the policies
of the various foreign offices. The
ambassadors taking part. of which
one is an American as an observer,
have the advantage OF being able to
discuss at single sitting the posi-
tons of the several governments
without the long delays and more
formal discussion by written notes
and dispatches.
Another suggestion expressed quits
informally in one British quarter
was the possibility of the conference
resulting in sort of regional asso-
citation of nations. existing for the
specific purpose of dealing with Pa
cific and far eastern questions.
Should this be determined upon 1t Is
assumed that the>new associations Of
powers would be obliged to create a
board or a commission which could
deal with doubtful questions as they
arose In somewhat the same manner
as the ambassadors council In Paris.
Probably a permanent international,
staff would have to be engaged. the
seat of which would logically be
either Washington or Pekin.,

leans have stood branded as II cold
blooded crew. otherwise? The idea of
going into such n wholesale affair as
that world war as deliberately as we
would go into the erection Of Il public
building. or the deepening of Il water
way without making a mistake. 1t is
horrible to think Of it. But America
did not make the mistake of under
estimating her job. She started into
that war rs if she anticipated that it
might last for Il generation, and she
made her preparations accordingly.
She had sense enough to see that
there was far less danger in OVERRIDING
than undcrdoing, and when she got
through il was not surprising that she
had some left overs Of which she
might have felt serious need had she
proceeded otherwise. Then came the
Republican politicians, after the big
job had been accomplished, to find
fault in their Investigations. They
did succeed in stirring up q little
muck; but not enough to make their
efforts seem respectable, and the
littleness Of their proceedings was
having the effect of making people
forget that America had just put on
record the most brilliant and maGni-
ficient military achievement the world
has yet witnessed. BY accommodat-
ing his language to level of the pro-
cedure, Gen. Dawes has succeeded in
diverting the attention of the people
back to the previous question and the
probability is that this partisan muck
raking has been shamed out of exist
ence. Yes, there will be very little
more Of it Fl ON now on.

The American Cotton Association
gives the grand total Of the l92o crop
at 1887 900 bales. The carry over
from the 1919 crop was about 4,O0O,-
600 bales. This gives 100000 bales
on August l. 1921. From this is to be
subtracted 100000 bales consump'
ton to that date. That will leave q
carry over of S,7O0,O00 bales. The
balance of the world will carry over
1850 900. bales, making a, grand total

Senator Joseph F. Kirby, of-5Arkansas,
voted against 'overriding: the veto,
while slxty-seven members of the body
cast their votes as in, opposition to the
secretary Of war and the president. The
action Of the senate means that the

been attempting. to get. the army up to
strength Of 100000 authorized under

refused heretofore to make the size of
