anese have called their q de-
mands on China in 1915 the Monroe
Doctrine Of the East. There is no
comparison between them and the
Monroe Doctrine. The Open Door
is the only name that corresponds
to a Monroe Doctrine of the East.
The Monroe Doctrine never has been
used to extract privileges, never has
been cloak for aggression, never
as a club to use in demanding ex-
elusive rights as police force or ad-
visor OF in business.
"No nation is going to become
involved in war on account of an
openly avowed doctrine or principle.
Henceforth war will be matter of
growth cf misunderstanding, of
nations allowing its government to
become involved in difficulty with
another on account of some business
interest which the people as a whole
if they understood it would not sane
tion as a cause for war
"There are two arguments that
are given by those opposing limit
alton of ornaments: One, that pre-
paredness prevents war; two, that
it prevents disaster in time of war.
The first contention has been dis
proven, markedly in the war Just
past. If you prepare for war, you
get war! Armament does not pre-
vent war any more than cholera
germs prevent cholera, or books and
pictures prevent education-that is,
some books and pictures Laugh-
ter from the students.) do not
advocate disarmament of any ma
tion in a world under arms. But
the citizen who is not ready to give
the non-resistance or pacifist an
swer when asked what he would do
if his wife or daughter were assault
ed, has a stronger obligation than
the pacifist to see that such ar
rangements are made as shall make
it unnecessary for a citizen to meet
such a situation"
Speaking of the conference now
in progress in Washington, he said:
LET us be satisfied with results
that we can measure, in the reduc-
tion of armies and navies, in the
reduction of taxes which are break
ing the backs Of the nations of the
world"

This is the Earth that God made,

That belong to us all in spite of the gall

Who act as if they were divine
Who can't read the writing the wall
But admire the skill and excuse the gall

The natural rights and needs of all
Who live on the Earth that God made.
These are those Parsons shaven and shorn
Who tell the workers all forlorn
To pray for contentment night and morn
And to bear and to suffer want and scorn
And be lowly and meek and humbly seek
For their just reward on the Heavenly short,
But not on the Earth that God made.

WHAT IS THERE
TO CONCEAL
By Judson King

H G. Wells, world famous author
of the Outline of History" and ev-
cry other great thinker in England
who knows the evils of secret di-
plomacy, is demanding "open" ses-
sions of the Disarmament Confer
ence.
William Allen White, and like
great American writers and think
ers are doing the same thing. Why?
1t is because these men know from
all history and from the Paris
treaty in particular that "secret
treaties" and inside deals lie back
of every war-the great World War
especially
Mr.. White in a recent article bold
ly proclaimed that if this Washing
ton conference is held behind closed
doors it will amount to worst than
nothing; that "America's one chance"
is in daylight publicity. He says:
"The destiny of every American
and his children and grandchildren is
bound up in the outcome Of this con-
ference. His taxes, his food his
standards of living, his life itself is
to be determined What right have
any four American commissioners,
however wise they may be
to sit in such council behind
closed doors with the gamblers of
Europe and hazard our destiny?"
The people have rights in this con-
ference. They ought to wake up
and make their will known. The
issue of closed or open doors will be
decided by the conference itself
Get busy. Write to those in author
ity. The question of the hour is
Gentlemen, what is there to con-
ceal from the plain people Of the
world?"

WYOMING MINERS SEND
RELIEF TO WASHINGTON

Hannah local of the United Mine
Workers in Wyoming are contribut-
ing generously to the support of
the striking miners in Washington.
Some time ago they sent a check for
$505 to the district office of the
miners union here, and few days
ago, second check for S545 was re-
ceived at State Federation headquar-
ters, together with assurances of
continued support.
The little town of Auburn made a
splendid showing last week when
check for $306.55 was mailed to the
Federation headquarters for the
support of the miners, in addition to
a shipment of food and clothing and
with the statement that the gooG
work would be kept up.
Vancouver made it's first contri-
button when the railway carmen
mailed check for $68.92 together
with the shipping bills for a ship

n. DAKOTA RE-
CALL REVIEWED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Ac-
cording to northwestern newspapers
received at A. F. of l.. headquarters,
representing both sides in the re-
cent North Dakota recall, a sum-
mary of this election could safely
be: Men were defeated; measures
are not.
The recall was non-partisan
drive against the Non-Partisan
league The Independent Voters
association was combination of old
parties, and favored the recall of
Governor Frazier and two associate
officials and also favored the an
nulment of several laws passed by
the Non-Partisan league legisla-
ture. The Independent Voters as
socation also asked the electors to
approve seven laws which they
favored.
Governor Frazier and his associ-
ates were recalled by approximately
5000 votes, but the laws they favor
will stand. The seven proposals in
itiated by the Independent Voters
association were rejected, with one
exception. The independents now
find themselves in the curious posi-
tion of being elected on a platform
to annul certain laws, while the peo-
pie that elected them sustain the
| laws.
Despite this condition, the inde-
pendents say they will carry out
their platform, as they were elect
ed on the broad declaration of OPP
position to the Non-Partisan league,
and they will make their opposition
effective by administration pro-
| cesses."
The victors do not appear iubi-
liant over the election. however. The
Fargo Forum, spokesman for the
Independent Voters association,
makes this comment on the election:
contradictory mandates from the
voters are not going to make the
task of the new administration any
easier"
The newspapers of st. Paul
(Minn.) which have taken a lively
interest in the election because OF
milling and railroad interests, warn
the Independent Voters association
not to be too confident that the
farmers of North Dakota have
changed their economic views, even
! though they have recalled three Of
/ ficials by small vote
In an interview in the New York
Times, Governor Preus of Minnesota,
saws: "The first round has been
! fought and the Non-Partisan league
has lost. But the fight is not ended.
The knockout is still ahead"
wiz
Dakota Labor Leader, published at
Grand Forks, and favorable to the
Non-Partisan league, says:
"The result of the North
Dakota election means that
while for various reasons the
people of this state have re-
tired three of it's officers, they
have said to the new ones, in
the clearest possible words:
"'We want the non-par-
tisan industrial program to con-
tinue. We expect YOU to take
it over, and we shall judge you
by what you do with it,
"This is not understood by
mart of the press and the other
part does not want to under
stand it. The election of the
recall candidates overshadowed
all else"
The new officials will continue in
office until the first of the year,
1923. Next June the state will hold
primaries for state officials and for
United States senator. Lines are
already being shaped for that con-
| test
