ADVANCING THE ZIONIST MOVEMENT

Perth Amboy is to be honored tonight with the pres
>cnce of two of the most prominent leaders in the Zionist
movement. Mr.. Nahum Sokolow and DR.. Alexander Gold
stein enjoy a worldwide reputation for the work they are
doing in behalf of the Jewish people. They are engaged in
making Palestine the Jewish national home in every sense
Of the word. It is to be more than a haven of refuge; it is
going to be a place where one would delight to live.
But in order to accomplish this Palestine must be put
in order. It must have the essentials that go with our mod
en civilization. Furthermore as a great many of the Jewish
immigrants to Palestine will come from lands of oppression
and economic misery means must be afforded them to get
4 fresh start in life. They must be provided with the first
essentials in order that they may become self-supporting.
The need of a separate nation for the Jews is felt less
here in America, perhaps, than anywhere else in the world
because of the great opportunities and the freedom to be
found here. There has been nothing to hold down the Jew
here and the race has thrived and %prospered. Jews are to
country. 1t is doubtful, therefore, if very many here will
lake advantage of the opportunities offered by the develop
ment Of Palestine as a permanent home from the Jews.
Elsewhere in the world, however, a Palestine for the
Jews. once more flowing with milk and honey, will, indeed,
he a promised land. It is natural that the Jews of America,
even though they may have no particular reason for desiring
such a home land, should be appealed to for assistance in
this great cause.
Aside from the w%orthiness of the cause which is to be
presented, the pleasure of hearing two such DISTINGUISHED
men as those who will speak in the high school auditorium
isn't any doubt about Perth Amboy doing its full part in
surthering the success of any cause that is worth while.
And the Zionist movement is worth while

If a hobby serves to take an office

If a hobby serves to take the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-With
the four-power pact q settled thing,
the case of China is now the chief
| business of the Washington confer
cnce.
The most important phase of this
case is the position of Japan in Man
churia. This will certainly be brought
up at the conference, and there Will
PROBABLY be a restatement OF the
open door policy of the United
/ states, and of the fact that Man
| clruria is an integral part of China.
1t is timely to give a brief &C
count of how the Japanese hold N
Manchuria was obtained, because 1t
shows how a relatively defenseless
ration like China can be plundered
in spite of all treaties and agree
ments protecting her, and how the
United States is involved in the sit
uation by means of the Hay doc
trine.
The penetration of Manchuria was
hegun by Imperial Russia in 1895 in
her effort to obtain new outlets to
the sea. For this purpose she made
a treat with China which gave her
the right to build the Siberian rail-
way across Manchuria to V~ladivostok
China reserved the right TO purchase
the railway in SO years.
The next step was the lease in 1898
of LiuD-Tuns. southern Manchuria
to Russia, and the building there OF
Fort Arthur and Dalny. This was
followed by an agreement for the eX-
tension of the Chinese Eastern Rail
way from Hardin to Port Arthur n
palny.
Russia seems to have administered
these interests in China fairly. Her
troops there were limited to railway
yards. and opportunities in sfanchu-
ria were equal for ell nationals.
other Chinese Grabs
These acquisitions by Russia were
about contemporaneous with the ac-
cu;sitions of leases of Chinese mar
time territory by other principal
powers-Tsingtau by Germany, Wei
.heIwei and Kowloon by Great Britain
and Kuangchouwan by France. In
d word all Of the principal powers
except the United States took ad-
vantage of this period of Chinas'
weakness to ct an economic footho,d
there.
Following the Russo-Japanese
war, Japan took over most of the
Russian leases and concessions i'll
Mapchuria, thereby gaining her pres
ent foothold there. The Portsmouth
treaty expressly states that Russia
had no agreements with China
which impaired Chinese sovereignty
OF open door principle and therefore
Japan was bound to respect these
two principles.
Then came the World War. Dur
in this period Japan proceeded u
make series of agreements with Chi
ma and with the other powers which
are generally regarded as having inn
paired both Chinese sovereignty and
the open door principle. These in
GUIDED the famous 81 demands, the
1915 agreement obtained of China

Obtaining of foreign markets, and
China is one of the greatest poten-
.iai markets for American goods.
Japan is rapidly undermining our
trade in that market, while at the
same time rendering Intellectual the
attitude Of protective friendliness
toward China by which we have
sought to foster 1t.
In a word, the United States has
reached a point where she must
either enforce the Hay doctrine or
else adopt an entirely different ms
she Nigh. renounce all claim to In
nuence in the Orient, leaving Asia
to the Asiatlcs-a procedure which
would be greatly appreciated by the
Japanese. Or else she might engage
with tire other word powers in the
deliberate exploitation of China un-
der V of a few meaningless pro-
c ssions of friendship.
The industrial interests OF TINS
country make the first procedure I'm
possible. They want the Chinese
markets. The traditional idealism
OF American people is against the
second method. The American peo-
pie will not stand for an obviously
selfish policy. Hence the United
States must try to enforce h Hay
doctrine after it has been constant
Nv violated fer a quarter Of a CEN
tury. She must try to uoreo evils
in China which have taken deep
root there, and which should have
been protested against long ago.
All of this she is now trying to
accomplish ~ the conference. The
rine-power pact with regard to Chi
na-and its subsequent enforcement
will he the measure of her success.
