ROME, November i.
. HE American Ambassador,
Richard Washburn Child, is
the vr,Jpoos+ ,,,av,Lor of ~.

H~@ HE American Ambassador,
Richard Washburn Child, is
the youngest member of the
alnbassadorial corps in Rome,
one might almost say the only young
ambassador, as all his confreres arc
men over fifty years Of age. From an
Italian point Of view, this is great
advantage, and exactly what they
would expect from young country
like the United States.
Although he has been here only
little over two months he has captured
the sympathy Of the Italian people by
his frank, clear expression Of friend
illness, not only from personal point
Of view but in the name of his aov
ernment. His tour to the ports of
ltaly--Naples and Palermo, Messina.
Syracuse, Taranto and Venice-has
shown his interest in Italy. He is
what the Italians call "smpatico."
Ambassador Child evidently was
born under lucky star, as besides
gaining the good will Of the Italians
he also has found house to live. in,
which, in these days of cvorcrowded
Rome. is little short of miracle. His
predecessor was compelled to live in a
hotel, whereas Ambassador Child and
his family managed to find large
apartment in the palazzo Orsini. The
old fable of finding a needle in the
haystack was an easy job compared to
renting house in the Eternal City.
But the ambassador succeeded where
others failed and has now moved into
his new homo. The Paiazzo Orsini
now belongs to the Duchess OF Ser
moncta. The duke has decided to live
for the future in Canada, and before
leaving he presented the house to his
wife. AS her private apartment in the
palace is very large, she rented forty
rooms to Ambassador Child. M

province Of Kvantung, Kwangsi and
Yunnan. China then assured Japan
that she should have q similar priority
in the province Of Fukien. Russia
began to mark off Manchuria for her
own.
Entertainments Met With
Disfavor by United States
These encroachmcnts in China were
highly unwelcome to the United States,
which in 1898 acquired Hawaii, Guam
and the Philippines, and was thus
brought into close political contact
with the Orient. In 1899 Secretary
Hay sent his famous open door note to
the governments Of Great Britain, Ger
many, Russia, France, Italy and Japan.
1t asked each Of these powers to give
an assurance that it:
"First-Will in no way interfere
with any treaty port or any vested
interest within any so-called sphere
OF influence or leased territory 1t
may have in China
"Second--That the Chinese treaty
tariff of the time being shall apply
to all merchandise landed or shipped
to all such ports as are within said
sphere Of interest (unlsss they be
free ports'), no matter to what ma
tionality it may belong, and that
duties so levisbIe shall be collected
by the Chinese government.
"Third-That it will levy no higher
harbor dues on vessels Of another
nationality frequenting any port in
such sphere than shall be levied on
vessels Of its own nationality, and no
higher railroad charges over lines
built, controlled or operated within
it's Sphere on merchandise belonging
TO citizens or subjects of other ma
tionalities. transported through such
spheres than shall be levied on SIM
liar merchandise belonging to it's own
nationals, transported over equal dis
tances."
All the powers gave their assent to
the Hay note. This formulated what
is known as the open door policy. But
it had simply followed the long estab-
lished precedents of American di-

LONOON, November z.
" T WAS the women who began it,
Of course. They wanted to be ad-
mitted as members OF Cambridge
University and to be able to take
degrees on the same footing as men.
So they now are in every other British
university, and so, sooner or later, they
will be at Cambridge, but Cambridge
for the moment apparently is anxious
to usurp Oxford's traditional reputa-
tion as the home Of lost causes.
In tho Senate House ono day last
week elderly graduates Of Cambridge
voted on the question whether women
should or should not be admitted. And
while they voted the present genera
tion at the university organized a
mammoth rag" guying the proceed
ings. In the evening, to the great de-
light Of the undergraduates, it was an
nounced that the women's claim had
been rejected by a big majority. This
ought to have been enough FOR the
undergrad, but for some of them it
vsaaast
Several hundred Of them proceeded
to lay siege to Newman College, the
women's college, which is sort of
extra-territorial enclavc at Cambridge,
ia the university but not of it. In the
course Of their operations they demol-
ished the deliberately wrought bronze
gates Of Newuham, erected as me-
mortal to the founder of the college.
Apologies, accepted by the authorities
cf Newham, from the general body Of
undergraduates followed, with "con-
science funds opened by "Granta," the
university journal, for tho repair Of the
damaged gates.

the building there are remains of the.
tiers and walls. Though, INTENTIONALLY,
it now seems wonderfully lovely
modern palace with touch of the
renaissance in its decorations and fur
niture, it was at one time the scene
of great games, rs Augustus built it
on plans left by Julius Caesar. Prob
ably Caesar dreamed of this wonder
ful theater. but it was left to his
successor to erect 1t on the site Of the
old theater of Marallus. This outer
wall is all that remains, IS after the
fall Of the Roman Empire the theater
was adapted as fortress for the
Pierleoni family, who were continually
fighting with the Frangipani family,
whose fortress was on the PAlatine.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-13

Many fight too place outside the
gates, and only when the troublesome
times Of the eleventh century passed
was proper palace built on the re-
mains of the old fortress. In spite of
war and destruction the outer circular
wall, which to-day is still beautiful,
remained intact, and Baldaasare
Peruzzi, who planned the new home
for the Savelli family, used the ma
teriai remaining from the interior of
the theater to form the cornice and
frames of the windows. In the mid
die ages it became the property of the
Orsini, who held it until 1903, when it
was bought by Roman bank. Re-
Gently it changed hands again when
the Duke bought it for his wife.

Church Of England believe in
luck? Or, If there is no such
thing as luck, but only Provi-
dence. would they consider it irrever-
ent to- connect Providence with SO
worldly matter as horse racing?
Without presuming to answer these
theological questions, one may say that
the. church congress now in session at
Birmingham has this year had a re-
markable stroke of luck, or been the
beneficiary Of special dispensation
Of Providence.
The church congress discussed all
manAer Of things--industry and labor
education and adolescence, games and
amusements, and various other aspects
Of social life. But the feature of its
proceedings which attracted the great
est public interest was what it had to
say about gambling. Ard this was
where the congress had the aid of
luck-or Providence.
1t met and began to talk about gam
bling on the eve of the running at
Newmarket of the Cesarewitch, one of
the classic English races. The con-
tinuation on the second day of it's dis
cussion Of gambling was reported in
the evening papers along with the re-
suit of the race. And the result of
the race threw into brighter relief the
high spots of the congress views on
gambling.
Not since The Panther, who failed
SO dramatically in the first Derby after
the war. has horse been written up
so much as Tishy, the Cesarewitch
favorite. Her name was on the tongue
Of every racing man in England and
South Africa, for she was owned BY
Sir Abe Bailey, the Cape mining mag.
nate. Such was the confidence in Tishy
that she carried seven pounds more
than the oiicial weight, and, in The

seem to make such resrrangement

seem to make such rearrangement
desirable.
This idea had no root in American
experience or tradition. 1t was pure
ly personal conception. 1t had figured
in an abortive secret draft for Pan
American treaty, which Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. Lansing pressed on the Latin
American republics for time in 1915
and then suddenly abandoned. 1t had
only an unscknowledged, Sagrant asso-
citation with our foreign policy. Yet
for this private novelty in statesman
ship MI. Wilson was willing to barter
off, in one form or another, practically
every commitment he had made in his
points and principles and in the nego-
tiations with Germany which preceded
the armistice. He was even ready for
time to throw overheard the Monroe
Doctrine in order to facilitate the
adoption of the league covenant
Wilson Dealt Exclusively
With Own Moral Principles
If Mr., Wilson was dealing in moral
principles at Paris he was dealing ex-
clusively with his own moral princi-
pies. The country had never given him
mandate to spread them out on the
peace conference table. Mr.. Hughes's
principles are Of an absolutely different
character. They are not his alone.
They are embodied in our history from
the beginning of American relations
with the Far East They have been
stated and restated in agreements
with foreign nations. They have been
incorporated in compacts among other
powers. They are not only American
in origin and in acceptance, but they
are existing written law governing the
relations of the great powers to one
another and to China
Are the open door in China and the
guaranty Of the republics political in
dependence and territorial integrity to
be ranked with the cine phrases and
lofty aspirations" which Mr.. Wilson
New-York tribune., 1921-11-13


broHdsnsd his exposition Of the Ameri-
can view in circular which he cont to
the powers on July 3, 1900, while the
Boxer troubles were at their height and
an international military force was
about to proceed from Tien-tsin to the
relief Of the legations besieged in
Peking. He said that Americas pur-
pose Was "to seek solution which may
bring about permanent safety and
peace to China, preserve Chinese terri
torial and administrative entity, pro-
tect all rights guaranteed to friendly
powers by treaty and international law
and safeguard for the world the prin-
ciple Of equal and impartial trade with
eli parts Of the Chinese Empire" Thus
the open door and Chinese territorial
integrity were linked together in one
doctrine.
These two principles were reasserted
in tho ot-Takahira note of Novem-
Der 80, 1908. BY that time Japan had
dispossessed Russia in southern Man
churia and taken over Corea. The Jap
snese and American governments
agreed to defend the principle of equal
opportunity for commerce and industry
IN China and to support, by a1l pacific
means at their disposal, the open door
and the independence and integrity Of
China.
Ishii.Iansins Agreement
Renewed Open Door Pledge
In tho Ishii-Lansing agreement Of
1917, although tho United States rec
ognized that Japan had special rela-
tions" with China, due to propinquity
and thus Especial interests" in the par.
Of China to which her territory was
contiguous, the same mutual pledges
were given, rs follows: "The govern
ments Of the United States and Japan
deny that they have any purpose to in
fringe in any way the independence or
territorial integrity Of China, and they
declare, furthermore, that they always
adhere to the principle Of the so-called
open door or equal opportunity for
commerce and industry i~ China"
These same pledges are incorporated
in treaties between Japan and other
powers. The British-Japanese treaty
Of alliance declares one Of its objects
to be: "The preservation of the COM
mon interests Of all powers in China
by insufing the independence and in
teE1ity Of the Chinese Empire and the
principle Of equal opportunities for the
commerce and industry of all nations
in China"
Secretary Hughes is, therefore, not
Offering tho conference any untried,
idealistic distractions after the Wilson
pattern when he asks it to say whether
or not the open door is to be kept open
and whether or not China is to be pro.
tected further against encroachments
on her independence and territorial
integrity. Japan, under the shelter of
her alliance with Great Britain, has
done many things recently to excite
the distrust of other nations. She has
shown disposition to establish monop-
olistic control of Manchuria and Inner
Mongolia. The methods by which she
acquired Germany's rights in Shan
tung still rankle. The twenty-one de-
mands Of 1915, if China had been
coerced into accepting them in their en-
tirety, would have reduced Chinese
sovereignty to a shadow. Japan has
agreements with the Peking govern
msnt which haven't yet seen the light
Of day. What are they? Do they leave

Hughes's Policy Identical
With Historical U. S. Position
This is the historical American pcsi. a
ton, established for more than half q /,
century. Some of the realists Who went .
through the Paris conference say that
Mr.. Hughes fails to distinguish be-
tween China and the map Of China--be-
tween a political and geographical en-
tity still intact and an actual sggregs-
ton of parts-cities and provinces
which have already passed, under dip
lomatic fctions of one sort or another,
to new owners. Is he right or are they
right? That is the thing which Amer
lea needs to know and wants to know
in order to shape her future policy.
The conference is in one sense 9
venture in public education. Few
Americans appreciate the complexities
and dangers of the Far Eastern situa.
tion-a situation into which We have
been inextrica5iy drawn by the exten.
sion of our western boundary aercu
the Pacific almost to the shores Of
southern China. We have sought no
territorial footing or exclusive prvi-
leges from the Chinese In that our
policy has differed from the policy of
the other major powers. We are in
manner dissociated from them. II that
dissertation cannot be overcome, 1t
must be reckoned with soberly and
anxiously by our statesmen.
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes are pursuing a course which
leads toward knowledge. Their sims
are practical, not visionary Whether.
limitation is put on naval armament
or not, the conference cannot be fsil-
ure. The American people will at least
be able to discover through it what :,
they have to expect from other nations /,
IN the Far East and can govern their !.
future action accordingly. ~,

ofssThe New York Times" con-
tained sasdonic article, en-
titled "Wilsonizing Secretary
Hughes" twas written by the still un-
identified author cf "The Mirrors Of
Washington" ana was intended to dis
credit Mr.. Hughcs's conference poll
cies by placarding hina as an uncon-
scious imitator of the faults of the
Wilson diplomacy at Paris.
In view Of the wreck of Mr.. Wilson's
work and hopes and the verdict passed
on them at the 1920 election, tits re-
finement Of cruelty to picture any
American statesman as following in
the footsteps OF the Father of the
Fourteen Points. But "The Times.s'
article went the whole route. An ac-
companying cartoon represented the ex-
President laying hand out of tho
shadows of Paris on Mr.. Hughes's
shoulder and saying in benediction,
"He's good enough for me-"
Thus, the Harding Administration
was ironically drafted to be the heir
and carrier-on of the Wilson Admins
tration's international ma1adroitnesses.
The ex-President went to the peace
conference and, like the man who trav-
eled from Jerusalem down to Jericho,
he fell among thieves, who despoiled
him of his stock Of precepts and prin-
ciples. 1t is intimated that Mr.. Hughes
is now going to make the same sort of
Journey. with equally insufficient pre-
cautions, and is equally likely to be
stripped Of his intellectual baggage.
The indictment is brought against the
Secretary of State that, uninstructed
by Mr., Wilson's errors. he is innocent
~ preparing to duplicate them by prac-
ticing "open diplomacy" championing
definite principles and laying his con-
ference cards ight-heartedly on the
table.
Problems UncamoufIaged
In Conference Agenda
President Harding has invited the
other four great powers and a few Of
the minor powers to consider TIE ques-
tion OF the open door in the Far East
and the question of the maintenance
Of China's territorial integrity and po-
litical independence. These problems
appear uncamouhaged in the conference
agenda. American ideas about them
have not been kept cautiously in the
background. We go into the gathering
with definite Far Eastern program.
But here is an invitation to those
whose notions about international con-
ferences have been curdled by the
souring experiences of Paris. The
sneer comes forth naturally: "We
r. .Americansl bring to the mart only a
packfui of moral ideas. So
long as we maintain our partial isola-
tion we cannot bring to counsel table
the goods in which other nations trade.
Other nations seek guarantees of their
own security. We can offer no alli,
ances. Therefore, we bring fine
phrases, lofty aspirations, noble ex-
amples, splendid moralities and go
away with-well, it is too soon to say
what we shall go away with. Mr.. Will
son was every American statesman in
ternationally. So is Mr.. Hughes"
Or again: He Mr.. Hughesj simpli-
6es life into set of facts and set
Of principles. In the confer
ence there will be few facts when
MIR. Lloyd George gets through, with

Ambassador Child Finds Historic Home

apartment is probably one Of the most
beautiful specimens Of medieval art,
with its princely arms Of the Orsini
family. History also connects this
palace with the fate Of Beatrice and
Lucrezia Cenci, who were imprisoned
in the Savelli court and kept prisoners
while awaiting to be executed for the
death Of their father. From out these
portals they were led to their cxecu-
tion.
Palace Cheerful
Place in Garden
The palace itself is cheerful spot,
as it is built in a garden with an in
terror garden around, which the re-
ception rooms are built. In this
garden the two children of the Am
bassador and Mrs. Child play and
scamper with their father after break
fast, which he always eats with them,
admitting that it is the happiest mo-
ment of the day. He forgets the bust
ness of being an ambassador, forxets
that there are anarchists and Commun-
lists who are protesting, though they do
not blame him, against the death SEN
tence passed on Sacco and Vanzetti at
Dedham, and enjoys the flowers and
the quiet Of his secluded inner garden.
Ambassador Child is much luckier
that former ambassador, the histor-
ian Niebuhr, who came and lived here
for seven years, from 1915 to 1898.
Then, in order to get to his house door
he had to drive over a pile Of rubbish,
as the palace as residence had been
abandoned for many years. Then it
was considered almost in the country,
away from the center, while now it
forms one end Of old Rome. A mac
adam road has been built from tho
Piazzo Montenara up to the front door.
The garden at the entrance and the
inner garden are probably just as pic
turesque as in earlier days, with plants
of jasmine and roses. The ambassa-
dor has the same view Of the Tiber,
St. Peters and Monte Mario, but 1t is q
little more modern, though mono the
less beautiful. Hero the ambassador
and Mrs. Child will entertaia during
the winter season.
