The conference: December 10 was
red-lester conference day. There was
plenary session. Secretary Hughes
reviewed the work of Chinese prob
lens of the committee on Pacific and
far eastern questions. He obtained
ratification by the full conference of
the several resolutions adopted by the
committee-resolutio to put 1t
briefly. contemplating gradual eman-
cipation Of China. He expressed for
himself the hope Tin other words. he
gave an intimation) that these reso-
lutions and the consideration of other
matters before the committee may
lead to an appropriate agreement in
which all the powers represented here
may participate, which will deal gen.
eIally with the questions relating to
the far cast and to policies In refer
ence to China, and also with respect
to the territorial status of the coun-
tries concerned" 1t is reasonable to
suppose that this agreement will have
the form of a treaty-the most i'm
portant Of a group of treaties.
Mr.. Hughes gave place to Senator
Lodge. who produced the sensation of
the day by reading the treaty between
France and Japan respecting the Pa
cific islands formally signed on a
later date). ] quote because digest
must be in effect an exegesis, and l
have no mind to add to the already
fabulous mass of exegeses on the
treaty:
II. The high contracting parties
agree as between themselves to re-
spect their rights In relation to their
insular possessions and insular do
minions in the region of the Pacific
ocean.
"If there should develop between
any Of the high contracting parties a
controversy arising out of any Pacific
question and involving their said
rights which is not satisfactorily set
tied by diplomacy and is likely to af-
feet the harmonious accord now hap

ing parties to a joint conference, to
which the whole subject will be re-
ferred for consideration and adjust

"2. If the said rights are threatened

shall communicate with one another
fully and frankly. in order to arrive
at an understanding as to the most
efficient measures to be taken. Jointly
or separately. to meet the exigencies
Of the particular situation.
IS. This treaty shall remain in force
for ten years from the time it shall
take effect. and after the expiration
of said period it shall continue to be
in force. subject to the rights Of any
of the high contracting parties to
terminate it upon twelve months
notice.

soon as possible in accordance with
the constitutional methods of the

Hoover is thrilling them with a
spirit of peace-time service. to
place the economic welfare of their
country on a sound and perma-
nent basis. untroubled by periodic
alarms Of financial crisis or indus
trial stagnation.
In the development of that esprit
in the department it has come
about that the industries them
selves have been contributing men
to come to Washington for a short
time to act in an advisory capacity
to the industry and commodity
experts.
In the commodity division has
been set up a specialties division.
This is not a 'catch-all, but built on
this idea: II We are going to beat
world neighbors in our contest for
foreign trade, there are two things
we can bank on-mass production
and ingenuity. So the specfalties
division was organized. with a
view to putting into it all the
American-made commodities that
partake Of this nature. such as
office furniture. labor-saving de-
vices. small motors and drivers
devices which we manufacture in
quantity. Then a drive was started
to find places throughout the
world where such commodities
would be most acceptable and
make friends

So it will be seen how Secretary
Hoover is enlarging and making
more efficient the contact and
service of the first two of the
three existing bureaus which have
the most direct touch with busi-

We now come to the improvement
and new use to which the bureau
Of standards Is being put to help

Why Pressure Comes From Europe
For a World Economic Conference

kets? Will Limitation of naval arma-
ment check the speed of ocean steam
ers and the race for the world trade!
These are grave questions to be
considered before an International
economic conference is called. In .
proper adjustment of the economic
forces of the world lies the peace and
prosperity OF America. Will an inter-
pregnant with peace or peril? In re-
storing credit to Europe. will credit
Of America be undermined?
The economic adjustment plan pro-
posed by Frank A. Vanderlip. briefly
explained by Mr.. vanderlip himself in
attracted wide attention. 1t is a sug-
gestion that the United States should
reinvest all interest paid on the debts
from Europe to the United States in
European securities for the economic
rehabilitation OF Europe. Really. it
is an extension of the loans for the
purpose of assisting Europe to pur-
chase American goods primarily. Will
not such a matter be function of
the proposed American commission
for the funding Of the foreign
debts? Is not such a question a mat
ter Of policy to be determined by
Congress?
Obviously. settlement Of the Ger
man reparation question will be the
first step. A forthcoming conference
between representatives of Great
Britain and Germany in London may
pave the way. France may be COM
PEELED to follow. it is said. in order to
share in the benefits Of a program
calculated to save the world from the
disasters of a German collapse. Can
Great Britain and France alone carry
the economic burden of saving Ger
many? Will those countries gain
more than they risk? VIII the United
States accept an invitation to join an
international economic conference il
called by Great Britain? Or will the
United States be justified in calling
such a conference not only to protect
it's share Of world trade. but to assist
in removing all economic causes OF
war?
In his recent message to Congress
President Harding said: '.In the main,
such a program must be worked out
by the nations more directly con-
cerned. They must themselves turn
to heroic remedies for the menacing
conditions under which they are
struggling; then America can help.
and America means to help"
help herself first before America will
undertake to call an international
economic conference? Is this notice
to Europe that America will help Eu-
rope only when Europe demonstrates
its ability to help itself? Does q
world economic problem lead to Inter.
nationalism and "entangling allt-
ances" or to national economic inde-
pendence and power.
