Associate Editor of the "Shum Pao," Shanghai
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-One of the
most significant facts in connection with
the Pacific and Far Eastern committee
meeting yesterday is that the United
States kept silent on the ten general
principles laid down by the Chinese del
egation before the committee few days
ago, although other nations expressed
sympathy to and pledged cooperation
with China in achieving her aspirations
1t is significant because silence of the
United States means the tacit approval
of and accord of America with Chinas
proposals. The stand of the United
States toward China has been so clear
and definite that no word of explanation
is necessary. All that she needs to do
is to wait and note the attitude of other
powers, particularly that of Japan.
1t seems to us. that all the other powers
must have had common understanding
and agreement before they came to the
meeting as to what to say and what to
offer to China None of the nations, in
answering China's claims, expressed
anything definite. They all pledged, in
cluding Japan, that they would observe
the we'll established American doctrine
of the open door policy in China. We
are quite familiar with such pledges,
and only few of them ever have been
carried out into deeds.
Japan's Pledges Doubted
For instance, Japan repeatedly has
declared that she maintained an open
door policy in her relations with China.
yet the doors of Manchuria and Shan
tung have been tightly closed, without
leaving a pigeon hole for others to
enter, ever since Japanese access to
these territories was obtained. We may
have faith in pledges made by other
powers, but we still entertain grave
doubts in those made by Japan.
While the general public seems to like
the answers made by different powers
to China's principles, we must not for
get that nothing definite has been an
nounced Practically all of the states
men declared that although they were
in sympathy with China, they must ex-
anime each OF the principles. While ad-
mitting that such examination is more
or less essential before the nations can
get final agreement, we still cannot
feel sure, and rejoiced that their exami
nation will result in favor of China.
The Japanese delegation replied: I'VE
are entirely uninftuenced by any policy
OF territorial aggrandizement in any
part of the world" However, the indi-

difficulties to French finance may prove
insuperable, and if France follows Ger

we'll bring down the whole edifice of
European credit
"In such an event the United States

way out is for America to observe the
precedent set by the Bank of England
when it saved American credit in a
minor crisis by drawing gold from all
the world to loan where it was most
needed.
'America holds the worlds gold to-
day The time is short, for, should
Germany fail to pay, France may march
into the Ruhr region and then who can
say what disarmament proposals may
not vanish in the smoke of war;"
The Sunday newspapers, which last
week heralded to the English public the
news of the American naval limitation
proposals, generally fail to-day to com
ment upon the developments at Wash
irgton, leaving this to the special cor
respondents, who follow the general
line of APPROVAL and hopefulness which
characterized the British press

Six Crushed ON I'll" Platform
When Train Starts Too Soon

Six persons were hurt, one of them
perhaps blinded, early last evening
when Culver line train started unex-
pectedly at the Sixteenth Street station,
Brooklyn, catching the half dozen pas
sengers on narrow ledge between the
car sides and the wall of the waiting
room. They were ground between the
cars and the wall, windows smashing
as the panes came in contact with the
human obstacles and showering the
victims of the accident with glass.
Mrs. Ida Rademacker, of IS Linden
Street, Brooklyn, was cut so severely
about the eyes that it is feared she
may lose her sight She was taken to
Methodist Episcopal Hospital, as were
Max Rademacker and Peter Stein, of
the same address, and Anthony Murno,
of 149 Eighteenth Street, Brooklyn.
Mrs. Antoinette Murno, of the same adj
dress, and Mrs. Mary Sica, of 291 Four
teenth Street, Brooklyn, were able to
go home after receiving medical atten-
ton. All of them were cut about the
heads, hands, arms and shoulders.
The train, which was coming from
Manhattan, was stopped short of the
target by George Baden, the motor
man, when it pulled in at the Sixteenth
New-York tribune., 1921-11-21

Street station, which is of the island
type.
It was three-car train and so great
was the motorman's mscalculation
that the rear platform of the second
car and the front platform of the third
car lacked ten feet or more of clear
ing the ticket booth and waiting room
which occupy an inclosed structure at
the north end of the platform, it's sides
almost flush with the platform edge.
Morris Fredericks, the guard on the
last car, opened the gates, nevertheless
and the passengers began to squeeze
their way between the cars and the wall
OF the waiting room, shuffiing along a
ledge barely twelve inches in width.
The unfortunate six were still tread
ing this narrow path when the train
started. Fredericks says he did not
give the bell to the guard ahead. but
Edward Wills, the guard in the second
car, is certain that he received the SIP
nal from him before he passed it on to
the motorman.
The crash OF broken glass and the
shrieks of those outside and inside the
last two cars brought the train to a
quick stop. Had it proceeded a few
feet farther and cleared the waiting
room structure some of the injured
undoubtedly would have fallen from
the platform.

Guardianship
Of u. S. Over
ChinaPredicted
Delegates See Possible Re-
suit of the Withdrawal
of Powers and Exercise
of the Open Door Policy
Japan Shows Reluctance
Domination of Military Fac
tion Hinted in Absence
of Shidehara From Table
By Thomas Steep

WASHINGTON, Nov. 0.-Evacuation
OF China by the foreign powers within
stipulated time, with America recog-
nized as China's future guardian, was
suggested by some of the conference
delegates tonight as a possible result
IN any settlement of the Far Eastern
question that may be worked out here.
BY obtaining at least the conditional
consent of all the powers to apply the
open door and territorial integrity
policies to China, America, the dele
gates concede, has enhanced her pres
tige beyond question, and if the settle
ment is reached finally she will hence
forth be looked upon as having as
sumed leadership in all international
policies affecting the Orient.
The intentions of the powers are
we'll defined. Great Britain under the
proposed settlement would surrender
Weihaiwei. her naval base in Shan
tung on the Yellow Sea. which she ac-
quired under a ninety -nine-year lease
in 1928; her port of Kinlung, in Kwan-
tung Province, and her sphere of in
Auence in the Yangste Valley. She
would also yield her control on certain
internal affairs, including her rights of
extraterritoriality which China con-
siders humiliation.
France Would Withdraw
France would evacuate Kwangchow-
wan, port in the Province of Kwan-
tung and near Canton, the capital, a
property she acquired under a ninety
nine-year lease, also during the 1898
raid on China by the European
powers. Her extraterritorialitv in
Indo China would be gradually sur
rendered. Italy is said to be ready to
give up certain mine concessions in
northern Chekiang, and even Portugal
has intimated she will abandon her sole
possession. an island near Hongkong.
If the spirit now prevailing among
the delegates is put into concrete prac-
tlce China would witness a voluntary
withdrawal of foreign control, and be-
cause of the moral influence of the
United States new era would begin
in the Orient which would be an exact
reversal of that begun three
years ago, when the seizure of ports
and the slicing of China into spheres
of influences for trade purposes was
initiated in Europe.
Japan, alone of all the big five
powers, has surrounded her intentions
with reservations. She has made it
known that her holdings in Shantung

School Teacher, Driving New
Car, Said to Have Mis-

Brake; Body Recovered
Machine Turns ON Back
Woman Fought to Free
Self; Handbag Bears
Name of Edith Stewart

An automobile driven by woman
believed to be Miss Edith B. Stewart,
a high school teacher of Wilkes-Barre
Pa, plunged into the Hudson River
yesterday from a ferryboat at the West
Forty-second Street slips of the
West Shore Railroad. Miss Stewart
was drowned. Her body and the au-
tomobile were recovered by the police.
According to stories told by deck
hands of the ferryboat Weehawken,
the accident is said to have been due
to Miss Stewart having mistakenly
placed her foot on the accelerator Of
her touring car instead of the brake,
causing the automobile to shoot for
ward, breaking through the heavy pro-
tective chain and gates, and somer-
saulted into the river.
Miss Stewart had come to New York
to get her car, which she had left here
for repairs after an accident about q
week ago while she was on a motor
trip in this state visiting relatives.
Her parents are dead. An aunt, Mrs.
Charles Stomarl, lives in Churchville,
N. Y.
The accident occurred about 1920
p. IL. Miss Stewards car headed the
line of automobiles that boarded the
ferry, she having just missed a pre-
vious boat. Edward Krusche, deck
hand on the Weehawken, said he saw
the car come down the starboard side
of the boat and was waiting for it near
the bow to place q block under the
front wheel, as was customary.
Auto Catapulted Into River
She slowed the car up a bit, he said,
as she approached him and almost
came to stop. AS he bent over with
block in hand, he says, the car sud-
denly bounded forward, crashed
through the guard chain and gates and
catapulted into the river.
A few passengers who had by this
time reached the forward part of the
car shot forward. Krusche says he
saw her making frantic efforts to dis
engage herself from the wheel and
leaning to one side as though trying
to get out of the car.
The automobile. a new five passenger
machine, plunged into the river bottom
upward. Soon afterward some flowers
and apples rose to the surface. Deck
hands rushed to the edge Of the boat
with hooks and life preservers in the
hope that the woman might free her
self from the machine and come to the
surface. Frank Ferguson, superin-
tendent of the West Shore ferries, no.
tilted the police. The police boat
Hylan arrived and, after graphing
about half an hour. freed the body

FOREIGN TRAVEL.

On one day recently II liners left New
York for Europe, carrying 1900 pas
sengers. Nearly all of them were Amer
lean tourists going to visit the Old
World for interest and pleasure. 1t is
estimated that those 10000 have taken
with them, and will spend abroad, not
less than $25,OOO,OOO.
That is all right. 1t need not bring
a single regret to anybody who is not
doing the spending, and probably few of
the spenders will regret it. Nor need
Americans lament all the additional mil
lions that their compatriots will scatter
over Europe this summer. Our people
make good use of it. And however for
eign prices may be, the tourists, if they
are as intelligent as the American aver
age, will get the worth of their money.
Generally speaking, there is no expend-
iture that pays better than travel-al-
ways provided, as suggested above, that
the traveller is intelligent and capable of
learning from fresh experience. New en-
virOnments shake up the mind and make
it receptive to ideas that would have been
scorned or ignored at home. Contact
with different types of people, different
ways of living, different ideals of life,
different scenes and atmospheres, afford
ground for fruitful contrast and compar-
ison. One week in England or France
or Italy will give an observing visitor a
better understanding of the real nature
of that country and its people than he
could gain by a year of reading
Americans are getting to be the great
est of travellers, and that is well. OF
all the great nations they need travelling
most, because of their comparative isola-
ton.
Anything which promotes travel. at
home or abroad, is to be commended. At
present, perhaps, European travel is es-
pecially desirable.
One might go so far as to say that if
the war debts the allies owe this coun-
try cannot be repaid in any other way,
payment might be taken prOftably in the
form of travel tours for the nation. Those
- billions or more would provide a Eu-
ropean tour for one representative of
every family in America.
1t will never be done, of course. But
it might not be so foolish as it sounds.
Think what it would mean for one adult
person in every American family to have
a long sea voyage and tour through
the most historic portions of the Old
World, and return a better American
than ever, but with knowledge and sym
pathies broadened
