Results of the Conference.

Formal signature of the four-power
treaty by the representatives Of
France. Great Britain, Japan and the
United States today marks the first
definite accomplishment by the con-
ference on the limitation Of armament.
1t Is a remarkable achievement, not
only in itself but in it's signification.
tionably come other understandings
and pledges directly in the tine of the
purpose for which the conf, .ence was
called. The three-power ma s,l reduc-
tion pledge on what is known as the
5-5-3 ratio is now confidently expect
ed. Agreements have been tentatively
reached. though not yet wri, 80 into
the form of protocols. for the re.+ora-
ton Of national rights to China and
the material clearance of the political
relations between that power and ia
pan. Whether the conference can ef-
feet the full restitution which China
asks and which sympathy for China
dictates Is not now assured. But in
outline and agreed upon in principle
is definite and material recovery by
China of her integrity and independ-
ence Of action.
To those who predicted a water
haul" for the arms conference these
achievements are a bitter disappoint-
ment. They figured upon the employ
ment of outworn methods of. dipio-
macy. upon subterfuges and evasions.
counting in the final situation against
results. They did not reckon upon the
straightforward act of the American
delegation at the first moment of the
session, when Secretary Hughes pro-
posed a program for naval reduction,
sweeping away at stroke the OBJ
stacles which conventional negotiation
would have created. Step by step the
conference has proceeded in both pri-
vate meetings and in plenary sessions
to STRAIGHTFORWARD. distinct proposals
and actions. But everything has taken
it's course from the initial move, and
in remarkably short time results are
appearing, and there is now pros
pect that within two months from the
date of meeting the Washington con-
ference will have yielded international
agreements making more definitely
for the peace of the world than any
other settlements ever before recorded
in history.

posed combination of powers designed
to maintain peaceful relations in the
far east. The French interests in that
region are important, though not SO
important as those of the other
powers. Yet every other country in
the world will gain the benefit in
greater assurance Of stability from
this now proposed stabilizing factor.
It Is greatly to the advantage of all
countries for European exchange to
advance speedily to par. The way for
some Of the European money units to
that point is long and apparently at
present hopeless. But with pounds and
francs and lire going back steadily,
with occasional reactions. but with net
gains. the symptom must be inter-
preted as one Of definite assurance of
recovery.
The fact that German marks yes
terday regained slightly is an interest
ing manifestation Of the correlation be-
tween the currencies. Germany is not
necessarily affected by the far eastern
settlements. Presumably Germany has
no colonial projects. She has been re-
duced to a strictly domestic basis. She
has plenty to do in home rehabilita-
ton without contemplating RESPONSE
bilities in distant regions. Yet the
mark yesterday advanced, and it will
probably participate in every ex-
change market forward movement.
For francs and marks and lire and
crowns are affected by the same
forces. however they may represent
political 2ntagonisms.

Harmony.

The need of harmony in circles re-
sponsible for legislation is frankly
confessed. At present there amt no
such animile" The House resents the
freedom the Senate is exercising on
House bills. The Senate Is adding to
this feeling by openly deploring the
way the House does its work. Both
House and Senate are putting up to
the President for settlement differ
ences that have arisen between them.
Harmony appears to be far, far away.
The House seems to forget that the
Senate has the right Of review, and
that all work originating in the House
must pass under the Senate's strong
glass. With the right, the duty. Of
review, why should not the Senate
exercise it freely and thoroughly?
The Senate seems to forget that the
House, being so much the larger body,
must do its work under rules differing
from the Senate's rules. For one thing,
debate cannot be as free in the House
as in the Senate. A limit must be set.
and this sometimes carries the sug-
gestion Of haste.
Both House and Senate seem to for
get that the President has troubles
enough of his own to keep him occu-
pied. He is the busiest official in the
country with duties strictly executive
in their nature. and therefore with
little or no time to bestow on the trou-
bles of others. no matter how strong
his sympathies may be.
But, Notwithstanding all this, har-
mony must in some way be estab.
lished-harmony that includes all
questions Of party concern and re-
sponsibility.

first approved the declaration of prin-
ciples submitted by the far eastern
republic. Like Chevalier de Wouters,
the other members of the Belgian
conference unit have been in China
and understand the conditions there
thoroughly. M. Felicien Gather heads
a Brussels bank that has been active
in aiding Chinese projects. M. Jules
Jadot, the third technical adviser, is
manager of the Lung-Hai railroad.
Baron de Cartier, Belgian ambassa-
dor to the United States and the only
Belgian delegate to the arms and far
east parley. many times has visited
China. These men acted with an inti-
mate knowledge of the character of
the Chinese and their capacity for
self-government when they approved
the declaration Of principles amount
ing, practically, to declaration of
independence. presented to the con-
ference by the Chinese delegates
They did not stop here. but gave
their sanction to the proposal for
the abolition of extraterritoriality in
China as soon as the Chinese shall
have demonstrated that they are ca
pable of Taking over the full admin
istration of justice in that country.
Chevalier de Wouters knows the his
tory of China's legal as we'll as COM
mercial development of the past
twenty-five years. He Is posted upon
the progress that has been made in
the drafting of civil and criminal
codes. He has analyzed the Chinese
mind with respect to its ability to
absorb the analogies Of the law and
administer justice according to west
ern precepts.
This much he is willing to stand
upon now: That the Chinese have de-
veloped in the law to the point that
warrants the conviction they are po-
tentially capable of perfecting and
maintaining adequate machinery for
the administration of Justice.
AS to the time when they should be
given full control Of the judiciary, he
believes only a study Of conditions in
China will enable the committee to
terested in this important subject.

When China Wakes.

China, we are told frequently. is a
sleeping giant. When she wakes
there will be something doing. But
If we did. we should be more con-
cerned with the question Of how q
sleeping giant is going to act when
he wakes and finds that one Of the
most interesting things that are going
on in the world to which he has been
asleep is the squabble over who was
to have the right Of picking his
pockets.
What China would find II she woke
up tomorrow-and that means what
China is gradually having impressed
on hers that the peoples of the
dominant race have never even learned
how to arrange the world SO that
they should not sQuabble among
themselves, while their attitude to-
ward other races has been that they
should be very thankful for anything
they're allowed to keep. For diver
sion. so it is possible the waking
giant might view It,. they talk about

like to be treated yourself.

\ ONSIsTENCY in making COM
mittee appointments on tho

OASIS OF the particular abtl-
ity of members for handling
special subjects has marked the de-
liberations Of the arms and far east
ern conference. That the conference
has a good line on the experts COM
posing the various delegations prob
ably has not been better demonstrat-
ed than in the selection Of Chevalier
de Wouters Of Belgium to serve on
the committee to investigate the
question Of extraterritoriality in China.
Chevalier de Wouters Is one Of the
three technical advisers Of the Bel
gian delegation. The Belgians have
the spotisSt 81 the Wsshineto1
meeting. They have been content to
play modest role. But among the
conference leaders the impression
has been boring in that they prob.
ably understand conditions in China
any of the western nations partici-
pating in the conference. That SEN
timent crystallized in the appoint
ment given Chevalier de Wouters.
AS ex-legal adviser to China and as
a banker helping to develop her re-
delegation has had his finger upon
the pulse of China's awakening for
a quarter Of century. There Is no
phase OF her resurrection he Is not
familiar with.
And, as a member of the extrater-
ritoriality committee, he was Of In

his ability to give them first-hand
Information bearing upon the de-
velopment of China's legal system.
Following ten-year service in
Belgium's foreign office, Chevalier de
ment as legal adviser to the Chinese
government in 1896. He spent three
years in this position. They were
the eventful years that saw the be-
ginning of China's commercial de-
velopment. The young Belgian law
yer decided to leave the government
service and embark upon business ca
reer. He sensed the coming opportuni-
ties in China for foreign capital.
Back in his own country. he was
not long in forming connections that
launched him successfully into the
banking business. For centuries Bel
tsium had maintained missions in
China, and the chevalier did not en-
counter a lack of interest among his
countrymen in the opportunities de-
picted for profitable investment in
Chinese enterprises. A conservative
and cautious counselor. his advice
soon was being sought by large COM
panies that contemplated the build
ing of railroads, the opening OF mines
and other constructive undertakings
in China.
1t is said that not one Belgian en-
terprise in China-and a large percen-
