The Root Program

lection of China, accepted by the
conference, reaffirm the essentials
of this country's Chinese policy. The
United States has never sought ter
ritorial leases, spheres of influence
or exclusive commercial or eco
nomic privileges in China. On the
other hand, we have never guaran-
teed China against infringement Of
her sovereignty and territorial ir-
tegrity by other powers. We have
gone no further than to seek to Sc
cure from others self f-denying
pledges to respect the open door and
equality of national opportunity doc
trines and not to take advantage of
China's weaknesses.
The Root program follows the
American tradition, but is based
also on engagements entered into
| by other conference powers. More
over, it broadens these earlier COM
mitments. The eight powers prom
/ ise in Section ] to respect China's
! administrative as we'll as her terri
torial integrity. The republics ad-
ministrative integrity WIS rudely
challenged in 1915 by Japan's
| twenty-one demands. 1t is also in
vaded by foreign extraterritorial
rights, foreign leaseholds and for
eign control of the Chinese customs
and foreign military supervision Of
Chinese railroads.
The eight powers pledge assist
ance to China in developing an eff
fective and stable government.
Hitherto foreign policy in China
American excepted-has been d.
rected chiefly toward sapping the
strength of the native government
and involving it in network of in
! furious political and economic con-
/ cessions. Moreover, the powers
bind themselves to take no advan-
tage of the present governmental
chaos in China to seek special rights
and privileges which would abridge
the rights Of citizens or subjects Of
| friendly states Or be inirnical to the
security of such states.
The Root program re3tates in q
more comprehensive form the Root
Takahira agreement Of 1908. 1t
also has the merit of practically re-
pudiating the Lansing agree
nent of 1917. According to the
latter the United States recognized
that Japan had Especial interests in
| China, particularly in the part to
which her possessions are con-
tiguous."
Mr.. Lansing told the Senate For
eign Rotations Committee in 1919
that he considered Interests" a
phrase without any political signif-
cance. But public opinion here and
in Japan had been disposed to think
that it had q very substantial
neutrality-suspicious. to rights and
privileges.
The last section of the Root pro-
gram plainly annuls the Lansing
Ishii declaration in so far as the
latter has been construed to have
this more extensive meaning. 1t
says specifically that no power is to
seek Especial rights or privileges"
Objectionable to other powers. II
any special interests remain to
Japan, therefore, because of pro-
pinquity, they are left without par
ticular value, since they cannot
be translated into rights OF
privileges.
Thus an indiscretion of the Will
son diplomacy has been neutralized
and American policy toward China
is re-established on it's old basis of
non-infringement Of sovereignty
and Of equal commercial oppor-
tunity for all nations.

A Tribune Reader
Who Has Always Liked the Paper
and Writes to Saw So

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: You will probably find this let
ter odd, for it is one of appreciation
and yet the writer hopes that many
more like it are sent to you often.
Years ago, it seems, | went to Yale,
and there learned something about en-
gineering, things literary and other
things not mentioned in the curriculum
One Of these was learning to read and
appreciate The Tribune. My roommate
began the initiation into it's mysteries
for me, which continued daily until the
war. We both liked it for it's many
qualities, even though | lost Give" on
the Hughes Wilson episode over it.
Together we often read it, until we
both enlisted on reading of our entry
into the big show. I stayed here: he
vent over, and remained, poor chap;
yet in his letters he even mentioned
the pleasure it gave him "over there
when he found Tribune, the worse for
wear, but still The Tribune.
To-day, a Philadelphia - myself
awoke from the sleep Of tradition and
read, from force Of habit, your Sunday
newspaper. Rarely have enjoyed any
thing like it. Devoid Of sensation, half
news or LIE Vrai a la Hearst, | cannot
adequately express the genuine pleas
ure it gave the reader. l hope there
are many others.
Therefore, will you kindly express
for me my appreciation of work well
done to the editorial "We" and his con-
freres, both cub and aged.
And rs the writer is unknown, un-
heard of and unsung in the journalistic
halls of fame, will you accept this re-
gard as more valuable, since it comes
from dweller in New Yorks suburb
of sleep, who can still see good things
where they are?
With best wishes for certain and
brilliant future.

The Exclusive ''Immortals'

To theaEditor of The Tribune
Sir: Your editorial GAS to Immor-
tails" in Sundays Tribune is enlighten-
ing to a degree, though ] am of the
opinion that, despite what the ribald
jester of the boulevard mag tell us,
the social status Of candidates for ad-
mission to the society Of the immortals
has "a very slight influence in the mat
ter. The number of academicians is
certainly restricted, but so is that Of
practically any organizations political
social or literary.
And apropos, there comes to my
mind that famous couplet written about
one Piron, who tried unsucces sfully
to enter that goodly company more
than several times. At his death, a
Partisan wag indted the following:
"Ci Piron, qui ne fat rien.
Pas meme Academicien.'
|. ("Here lies Piron. He was nothing
Not even member of the Academy,
Delightfully."- Gallic, isn't it?

4 United Fleet

With the approaching comrieti of
the ten scout cruisers and other units
now under construction such a united
fleet would comprise II superdread-
noughts, 12-inch gun dreadnoughts,
10 scout cruisers (33-knot), $50 CD de-
stroyers, together with feet airplane
carriers, submarines, mine planters.
fuel ships, hospital ships and train.
All these battieships are capable Of
a sustained sea speed of 20-2l knots:
all of them can concentrate their en-
tire main batteries on either broad
side; twelve of them burn oil-fuel ex-
ciuslvely and are armed with 14-inch
guns or bigger (the Maryland carries
eight sixteensl.
Thus we should have homogeneous
fleet, fitting command for an Admiral,
weakened perhaps by its lack Of battle
cruisers, but otherwise of well-rornded
proportions. If those in charge of
naval affairs would see to it that the
. fleet was kept together as a single
entity, drilling as unit and operating
throughout the year under single
command, indulging in constant battle
maneuvers and target practice, with Of
course regular repair periods and
pauses in routine to give liberty to its
personnel-t then, for the first time in
nine years, the United States would
have q real feet-in- being and would
again be able to count itself properly
represented upon the sea.
Summing up, the writer considers
that the following reforms, promptly

Who would believe, to look upon

Or bird'seyeview your panorama

That you're a member of the New

You yowl, and beat the unoffcnding

You squirm, and twist your clothes

You think of lunch, lunch now, and

And still, beneath the yet unlimited

Above your -ndecipherable nose
Lies hid, perhaps, the brilliantest of
futures
What's inside seldom on the outside
shows.
Your grandma, gazing on your new
born father,
Doubtless believed him one of Ma

And Zee thought too (though it was
catty, rather),
as this the face that launched
thousand quips?"
Yes, yes; you too, in maidhood's

May bid for fame with pencil and

Inditing wheezes for The Coming
