China Speaks for China

1t was not accident that the problem of China
presented to the international conference by the Chinese
delegates 1t would have been quite in order for the
United States the nation by whom the delegates
invited to the conference present the China questions
but to have done would have been to slight the pr
cple that the problem of China is primarily matter
of Chinese concern.
The fact that China appeared in the conference to
of these matters is the best possible evidence of the
recognition OF China equal among the nations and
not inferior whose fate is to be determined by
superior nations The fact is to be taken
indication that the United States is we'll disposed toward
the Chinese if indeed the Chinese proposals not
familiar to the Americans in advance and approved
by them.
What China asks from the other nations is simple
justice. To limited extent China has been robbed,
and China asks that the things that taken from
her by force shall be restored. That is than
primary justice and it is hard to see where any
sonabe be found for refusal of this request
China also asks that for the future her independence and
her territorial integrity shall be respected that she shall
have voice in all international discussions affecting
China and under those conditions China will accept the
policy of the open door in all parts of the country.
Such statement would lose much of its force
it made by any other nation than China herself. To
have spoken thru another nation to have permitted
another nation to present matters in which China
chiefly interested would have been sacrifice of national
dignity and prestige. 1t would have been manifest
contradiction Of the claim that China is entitled full
recognition independent nation, and it would have
been equivalent recognition of China inferior
nation, the prize of conflicting outside powers.

More Money for Good Roads

The federal highway act, recently passed by
gress and signed by President Harding, assures
appropriation of $76ooOOO for highway construction in
thirty states. 1t is estimated that than 6200 miles
of roads be built with this money, and that
than 100000 men will be employed in the work
Colorado will in for large part of this money
and it will be used in opening up to public the
scenic beauties and grandeurs of the state
The appropriation of this large amount at time
when federal expenditures being reduced wherever
possible indication of the Importance of good roads
in the opinion of national statesmen Colorado should
continue to do her full part in the development Of
most valuable There is evident in quar-
tiers disposition to crtcse the state government for
spending money too freely But it well to remember
that the money spent for road building is investment
rather than item of expense The cost of road main
expense and this expense far possible
should be borne by those who profit by better roads.
The benefit much greater than the cost that harm
come in this way.
But the roads themselves investment and
investment in the state yield better return to

The French Army

1t will be left to the representative of France to
present to the Washington conference plan for the
reduction of land armaments This France is especially
nation feels the need of maintaining for national defense
to keep and to pay for.
France has desire for conquest, and she has no
need for great army in order to maintain her sover
eighty upon unwilling subjects. The French people
would be well satisfied with an army greater than
necessary for police duty home and in the French
colonies
But for more than hundred years France has had
upon her eastern frontier enemy nation, aggressive
and impacable. Twice within the memory of men now
living French territory has been invaded French cities
have been destroyed French citizens have been mas
sacred their homes and the very existence of France
has depended upon the ability of the nation to maintain
a great army ready to strike at moments notice In
defense of her most vital interests.
The history of France is proof of the principle that
nations do not go to because they wish to do so,
but because they must For there is something
worse than war; and that submission to invasion and
secondary matters; first of all liberty, independ
cnce and national safety.
The problem of Franco is II lesser degree the
problem of all the great peace-oving nations Of the
world. France cannot accept disarmament unless
national safety is otherwise secured But if way
found in which national safety be secured without
the maintenance of great army France will be glad
and the example of France will point the way to a
realization Of the hopes of the world for disarmament
and permanent peace.

Pueblo Interest in the Coal Strike

Pueblo particularly concerned in the strike against
wage reductions in the southern Colorado coal mines
because Pueblo is industrial city, and therefore
uninterrupted supply of coal at reasonable price is
essential to the prosperity of this city.
Ordinarily it is difficult for the general public to
reach conclusion to the merits of such controversy
The question to what is fair wage any industry
is upon which employers and employees likely to
hold diverging opinions and the people not familiar
with the conditions cannot know what is fair and right
In the present case, however, the situation unusual
The employing company reached agreement with
its employees for wage reduction and the state indus
trial commission after careful investigation declared
that such had been reached that the
ment not in violation Of law contrary to public
interest," that the wages previously paid excessive,
and that wage reduction would be of great benefit the
coal industry to other industries and to the public
Under such conditions Pueblo people generally will
hope for speedy ending of the strike, without violence
and without disorder The right to STRIKE and the right
promote industrial organization by lawful
be disputed But the right to labor is also ndsput-
able and the rights of the general public should not
ignored.
