land in Colorado is dsproportonae to the other

of population assured for the future. The owner of
Colorado farm lands has property Of substantial value

moment shot to pieces.

HOW THE PACT WAS MADE

1T represents an explicit RECOGNITION
on the part Of Great Britain that tho
American point OF view must prevail
in the Pacific
question Of China. 1t therefore leaves
tho Chinese question as the chief re-
naming question before tho confer
ence, and the only bones of contention.
WHERE CHINA STANDS
Almost everything that China asked
OF the conference has been granted
In principle" and almost nothing has
oeen granted in fact. II now remains to
be seen how much the United States
can win for China in the committees
which will decide tho details Of her
status. For the United Stands now,

defense has been Intellectual. She pro-

concession method.
30 far our professions of high disin-
terested friendship for china have
amounted to the announcement OF a
policy which We could not enforce.
and few small favors such as not
collecting the Boxer indemnity.
The conference. so far. has done lit
tie TO remedy this situation. but It has
opened the way for us. As long as the
Anglo-Japaness Alliance lasted, We
We're powerless In China. Now that is
out OF the way. In addition. tho powers

OF the concessions and spheres of IN

is cleared to give China a new deal 1t
remains to be seen just what II win

offices promised back TO her, and a
statement that extra-tcrritoriaiity will
be abolished at some time in tho fu-
ture. Nothing substantial las been
granted.
Perhaps tho two most difficult aues-
tons arc those OF Japan's occupancy
of ShanEtung and her position in
Manchuria. The United States must
