II the proposed four power treaty is discussed as now seems
it will be, this fact will soon be made plain-that from the
- standpoint of America dealing with Japan we would be
much more fortunately situated ii in the League Of Nations in
stead of the four power union. The League Of Nations plan calls
for s%crappng no ~battleships at this time and therefore assures
Japan no such favorable naval ratio as The JapS will have under
the Hughes treaty. Furthermore, it is admitted even by de-
tenders of the four power treaty that article two of that treaty
carries an obligation that this country aid Japan in event of an
attack upon Japan or any of the Japanese insular possessions in
the Pacific. The obligation would be a moral one, as under
article 10 of the league covenant, and might mean much or lit
tie, but the obligation such as til puts Japan in a preferred po-
sltlon because Japanese obligations to America are confined
merely to Pacific islands controlled by this nation. In other
words this country could not attack Japan without confronting a
situation under which the other parties to the treaty, England
and France, would be morally obligated on the side of Japan.
But the Japanese could if they wished attack the mainland of
the United States and face no such predicament. The arrange
ment is unfair.
Under the League of Nations covenant all member nations
are placed in the same category. Under article 10 each member
nation is guaranteed that if attacked by an external foe the
other members of the league will be morally aligned on the side
OF the nation attacked, which is d pretty strong assurance
against any nation being attacked. SO if we were a member of
the League of Nations we could deal as we please with Japanese
immigration and land ownership in this country, those subjects
being of a domestic nature, and Japan could not make war upon
us on that account without facing the moral opposition of all
other members Of the league.
BY not going into the League of Nations this country has
overlooked a chance to materially improve its strategic position
with reference to Japan. If we enter the four power treaty in.
stead Of the world league we will sacrifice even more upon this
treaty will show this point is well taken and til a very import
ant matter because our chief worries for the future are i'll the
Pacific rather than in Europe.
Since the japanese relationship to America figures so
strongly in the work of the limitations conference it is too bad
the president did not name a strong western man upon the AM
erican commission. Western people understand the Japanese
issue more clearly than do fasteners and they are less liable to
be led astray when that point is under consideration.

A REAL INTERNATIONALLY

NLASPlNG hands here in the shadow of the statue of Dante,
Rene ViViani, head of the French delegation to the con-
ference on limitation of ornaments, and Carlo Schanzer
OF the Italian delegation, thus dramatically denied reports of a
rupture between France and Italy, says the Washington Herald.
"A dramatic and eloquent incident, but not as significant as a
statement Vviani made previously when he said: Dante be-
longs not to Italy alone, but to the world"
In truth genius is International, Shakespeare is not an Eng
lsh possession-hei is a citizen Of the world in its truest sense.
This is not only true of poetic genius. Einsteins discoveries
are not only Germanys they are the worlds. PasteurS revela-
tons benefited the suffering humanity of all nations.
The most recent Illustration Of this is DR.. Lorenz's visit to
America. The Austrian surgeon is trying to help a small portion
of Americas deformed to become normal, Just as American re-
lief organizations gave their utmost to help save the children of
Austria from starvation.
Genius and mercy are international.
The question Of financing the Portland fair is not difficult if

PAPER MULCH TO AID
PINEAPPLE GROWERS

HONOLULU, Y, H., Dec. 80.
n. S.)-A special paper manufacture
ed from bagasse, or cane pulp, from
which sugar has been extracted, is
now being experimental with by She
pineapple growers Of Hawaii, with
results which indicate that its use as
Il mulch on the pineapple fields will
not only prevent weed growth. there
by reducing their labor costs. but
will increase by about three tons to
the acre the production of pineap-
pies.
The pulching process, which was
invented by e. T.. lEckart, foruucr
manager of Oloo plantation, on Ha-
WaIi, and on which patents are held,
has been used very SUGGEST lily on
the cane fields. The paper mul'h
is applied in rows before planting,
and in the case of %pineapples the
crowns are planted in holes punched
through the layer of paper. The plant
is thus free to grow, but weeds can
not readily come up through the
mulch, and surface evaporation from
the ground is also checked, thus pre-
venting excessive drying OF baking of
the surface.
