HARyEY's FIRST BREAK.

lit is not surprising that word comes
from Washington (unofficial, it is true,
but still evidently inspired by those high
in authority that Ambassador George
Harvey was not yoicing accurately the
sentiments of the American Govern
ment when he presumed to lay down the
foreign policy of the United States in
his speech at London on Thursday
evening. The statement is made that
Harvey's address was not submitted To
President Harding or Secretary Hughes
before his departure for Europe, and
that il IL had been the blue pencil would
have been used upon it with consider
able freedom.
Such an admission robs the sweep
ing declarations of this amateur In
diplomacy of much of the significance
that would have attached 10 them IL ii
was understood that they constituted a
carefully formulated policy approved by
those in authority. Harvey's statement,
for instance. that the Government of
the United States would have nothing
whatever to do with the League (of
NationsD or any commission or COM
mittee appointed by 1t or responsible to
it directly or indirectly, openly or fur
lively" is so. truculent in tone and SO
contrary to all the rules of courtesy
and good breeding that IL would be
amazing to suppose that the President
or his Secretary of State could have
given their approval to such undiplo-
matte language. His filings at ex-Presi-
dent Wilson, so contemplate in their
pettiness and so groteaquely out of place
in an address of this kind, further
emphasize the point that he was giving
expression to his own private views and
hatred rather than to the opinions of
the Government that sent him abroad
When Harvey, a mere ink-slinger,
was suggested for the post of Ambas-
sador to Great Britain. his peculiar un-
fitness for the post was pointed out To
the President. These objections were
overruled, however. and the highest
honors were given to this political rene-
gade in reward for his services 10 Mr..
Harding. At the very first opportunity
he brings embarrassment upon his
chief, and confirms the fears of those
who opposed his appointment Doubt-
less he viii make many more such
breaks. Harvey is a misfit as an Ann
bassador, and win, unless we are greatly
mistaken, prove to be source of great
modification and annoyance to the
American people.--Philadelph Record.

GERMAN SYMPATHY
ON SIDE OF JAPAN
Press SpecuIates on Wheth.
er Nation Can Avoid BEING

Ds aHc
BERLIN, November 22.-Japan, al
though one of Germany's foes in the
world war, continues to command in
creasfng measures of sympathy and
interest from the newspaper common
tators writing on the Washington
conference. Much Of the comment is
given over to speculation as to
whether Japan can avoid being left
at the post in what is termed the
jockeying for position in the race for
prestige in the Pacific. 1t is also
asked whether she will be able to
which Germany is represented as fall
ing a victim.
Should Japan emerge from the con-
ference as an isolated power, the
editorial writers believe she will be
forced to seek economic and political
orientation in the direction Of Russia.

A community Of interests" compris-
Ing Teutons. Slavs and the yellow
races. is suggested as one of the pos
stbilities to be reckoned with in max
Ing over the postwar world. Thus
Germany conceives a new constella-
tion. in which the fatherland is des-
tined to shine brightly.
Reaches Higher Quarters.
Such speculation is not confined to
the lay mind, but is presented in all
solemnity in higher quarters. where
it is believed the absence from the
conference Of Germany and Russia
will mean the eventual curtailment
of Japan's sphere of influence.
Aside from these conjectures, both
public and official Germany continue
to evince only passing interest in the
progress Of the conference. There
have been expressions of approval of
the meeting and its aims from time
to time. but these were merely the
sporadic utterances of professional
pacificists. The former military lead
ers maintain an attitude of skep-
ticism.
Tho bulk Of tho newspapers give
the proceedings in Washington only
perfunctory display among routine
news, and in their editorial comment
advocate suspending judgment until
positive results are achieved.
