haps mistakes the quality Of its own in
fictitious liberalism.
There. is, of course, another prevalent
theory of the alliance-that we went into
it with our eyes open, that the liberal
moralists of the diplomatic service are
perfectly we'll aware of what Japan is do
ing, that with some reservations as to
peace and the observation Of the outward
decencies they in the main approve it,
that British finance reckons on it's share
in Japan's industrial expansion, and that
in the end, when Japan has grabbed the
North, we will take the South for our
selves. That view, or some milder YER
sion Of it, may at times have influenced
some of our statesmen. One cannot for
get the claims once advanced to the Yang
tse Valley as a British sphere. Professor
DeWey's disclosures about the British coal
concessions in Kwantung are excessively
disquieting. My own bias is usually to
take this realistic view Of British imperial
policy. None the less, / feel certain that
at present no design of this sort effectively
influences the Foreign Office, at any rate
as a settled intention which it would stub
bornly refuse to abandon, It may have
dangerous manias Of this kind, but, as
everyone knows, the interest of Lord Cur
ION and of Mr.. Churchill lies in the
Middle East. It is the oil of Mosul and
not the coal of Kwantung which excites
them. Their strategical thoughts are
busy with the Dardanelles and with the
new aerodrome for Egypt. Public opin-
ion in England, in it's dread Of high taxa
ton, is stoutly opposed to all imperial
adventures. Moreover our finance is not
suffering from an excess Of capital clam
oring for export. We are now a debtor

nation, and the drive Of expanding capital
which made our Empire, does not force
us urgently into Chinese industry. We
have goods, or hope to have goods to
send there, but we have no surplus
capital. That condition and our finances
tends to throw US back upon Manchester
habits of thought. We value the "Open
Door" in China for our exports Of tex
tiles and machinery. It is, indeed, as we
survey our own ruined continent, the one
big foreign market, capable of great ex-
pansion. But while We lack capital, 1T
presents itself rather as a market for
commodities than as a field for monopoly
enterprises and concessions. That change
of attitude is visible in the views Of the
China Association, which speaks for most
of our Far Eastern traders, shippers and
bankers. It originally supported the re-
neWal of the alliance. It has in recent
weeks sent strongly pro-Chinese mem
orial to the Foreign Office. 1t is becom-
ing sensitive to the public opinion Of
its Chinese customers. 1t breads the
application to British trade of the boy
colt from which Japanese merchants
suffer. On the whole then, the economic
argument tells against a predatory policy
of penetration and disruption, and in
favor Of the Open Door.
From q British angle Of vision, then,
one can see many factors which tell in
favor of the success Of Mr.. Harding S
conference. Look at the problem from
British or from an American point Of
view, and it would seem that a construc-
tive definition of the Open Door should
suffice to prepare an agreement to reduce
or limit ornaments. To work out that
constructive definition in detail would re-
quire recent and expert knowledge. Can
the process of penetration by foreign
capital be wholly withdrawn from the
sphere Of diplomacy, and handed over per

tSEE MY LAWYER" is
AN EXCELLENT FEATURE
T. Roy Barnes, Popular Comedian,
Stars in New Pobertscn-Cole
Super-Specias Release.

Movie fans are in for treat when
't'See My Lawyer" the new Robertson
Cole super-special release starring 7.
Roy Barnes, opens at the New Crystal
Theatre next Monday for run of
two days. On the legitimate stage
"See My Lawyer" was big hit. The
screen version, under the direction of
Al Christie, is even better.
The story has to do with two young
fellows-Robert Gardner and Billy
Noble-who become interested in a
machine which an inventor, Trueman
by name, declares will manufacture
artificial rubber. Robert and Billy
begin to float stock in an artificial
rubber com pany, and so convin cling are
their circulars that money begins to
pour in. Robert, believing he is on
the road to a fortune, proposes to his
sweetheart, is accepted and the
wedding day set.
The rubber trust, hearing Of the sue
cess of the invention, ask that their ex-
perts be given demonstration. They
want to buy the invention. On the day
set for the demonstration, Billy is alone
in the office with the inventor and sud-
denly discovers that the machine is a
fake. He realizes that he and Robert
are in a fine fix, their supposedly won
derful invention being nothing more or
less than a fraud.
Billy decides that the only way Rob
srt, who has signed all Of the circulars,
can be kept out Of jail, is to sham in
sanity. Billy is to act as his lawyer.
When the trust experts arrive Billy
declares they will give no demon
stration. The trust experts are sus-
picious and the postal authorities
notified. A postal inspector demands
a dem onstration on the threat of send
ing Robert to jail for using the mails
to defraud if the demonstration is not
satisfactory. It's fine mixup, but
several logical developments which are
brimful of clean-cut fun straighten
matters out.
If you wish good, wholesome laugh
60 to ''see My Lawyer and wander
through all the clever episodes with 7.
Roy Barnes. In support OF the star is
an excellent cast, including Grace Oar
mond, Lloyd Whitlock, Jean Acker,
Tom Mcclure, Ogden Crane, j. r..
Lockney, Lincoln Plumer and Bert
Woodruff.
