Cause of Naval Competition
First Must Be Removed

Limitation of armament IS put first
in the agenda as a proper acknowledge
ment o. the fact that the Borah resolu-
sion partial and limited in scope as it
vas, originally focused attention on
the conference project. But Mr.. Har-
ding and Mr.. Hughes knew that naval
armament couldn't be reduced unless
me causes which had led the three
great naval powers to compete with
one another in naval construction were
nrst removed. Naval expansion has
not been the cause Of international
friction, but the effect of It. 1t is a
surface symptom of trouble which
les deeped. The root OF this is in a
iack OF concert among the three lead
ing sea powers and in their clashes Of
interest. which are now confined TO the
Pacific
Until these clashes of interest cease
naval rivalry will continue. The Ad-
ministration, therefore, wisely broad
ened the conference and has submitted
TO 1t as It's primary subject matter
the complications In the Far East.
which have kept Japanese. American
and British ship yards and naval gun
foundries busy. 1t is clea- now, as il
should have been from the start. that
any genuine measure of Limitation on
armament must follow, not precede. a
Qualification and easing Of the dan
gerous Far Eastern situation.
In the Far East the central problem
s China. The relations Of the great
powers to China are confused, irregu-
lar and unnatural. Their relations TO
one another. with regard to their deal
ings with China, are also ill-defned
and ambiguous, fruitful of jealousies
and Misunderstanding The Chinese
Republic is immensely rich in natural
resources. 1t is at the same time a
virgin field for industrial exploitation,
aud, because OF It's swarmine popula-
ton, also an exceptional market for
the surplus comm ODDITIES Of other coun-
tries. Were China able to make her
iaten. power felt she would have de-
veloped as Japan has done under con-
tact with Western civilization and
you'd long ago have entered, along with
Japan, INTO the circle Of the great ma
lions But her inertia and the obstin-
ate traditions Of her culture have pre-
vented this.

Deviation of the L. S. Policy

Deviation of the L. S. Policy
The Laasing-Ishii agreement IS the
single apparent deviation from the his
torlc American policy toward China
the policy Of the open door. But BY
It's own language it o.savows any pur-
pose to undermine the ''onen door,
principle or to threaten China's polici-
cal independence and territorial in
tegrity.
N.Y. Lansing says that it wasn't IN
tended to sanction aggrcssions OF any
sort at China's expense. Secretary
Hughes emphatically ressated the
American view when he wrote re-
Gently TO the Chinese Minister IN
Washington:
The government OF the United
States has never associated ;tself
with any arrangement which sought
to establish any special rights or
privileges in China which would
aorldge tie rights Of the subjects
or citizens OF other friendly states
and am happy to assure you tina.
1t IS the purpose Of this government
neither to participate nor to acouiesee
IN any arrangement which might
purport TO establish IN favor OF for
eign interests any superiority Of
rights with respect 20 commercial
or economic devcioprn ent IN des;r
mated regions Of the TERRITORY OF
emma, or which might seek 10 create
any such monopoly or preference as
would exclude other nationals from.

industry, or from participating with

CORY Of public enterprise"
Here is the Fundamental question
before the conference. There is
clash between American policv and the
policy which the European zatiors
formerly pursued. and which Japan
IS still vigorously pursuing. How is
the spirit Of the Japanese Twenty
one Demands 20 be reconcled with the
spirit Of the "open door"9 The IDEAL
solution from China's point o. view
would be the termination OF the policy
OF encroachmcnt. the withdrawal Of
concessions abrideing Chinese soves
elgnty and the remission or extra
territorial. rights. The Chinese want
to see China attain that full status Ct
equality with the Western nations
Which Japan SO rapidly attained.
This is solution opposed to the
selfish interests o: those countries
which want to benefit still further BY
exploiting China. They may offer the
United States the alternative Of ad
mission into concert Of guaranteeing
and exploiting powers. A joint SUPER
vision Of this sort would restore Ia
a measure the balance existing before
the war, wnen each interested power

China. These guarantees are merely
restraints which one power has sought
to put on the operations of another.
They were not given primarily for
China's benefit. And China has been
taught by sad experience to discount
their value.
The theory Of China's entity" and
sovereignty has been proclaimed in the
Hay doctrine and has been subscribed
to in many international compacts to
which China wasn't party. But it has
been fouted after these declarations
almost as freely as before them. The
outside powers have generally. taken

Nor was Japan alone III such en-

have to lay down. My kidneys were
very weak and had to pass the Sc
