BELIEF Of SOME

downright. 1921


WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Who
will keep the "open door" in China
open? How will the four principles
written by Elihu Root and now
adopted by all the nine powers in
terested in the Far East be en-
forced?
These questions touch the most
delicate phase Of the whole Far
Eastern problem, and on their set
tIement, it now is admitted by some
Of the spokesman of the foreign gov
ernments, depends the success OF
the conference.
Number l of Mr.. Roots principles
carries a mutual pledge that 1T is
the firm intention of the power"
attending the conference "to respect
the sovereignty, the independence
and the territorial and adminlstra'
tive integrity of China"
The famous Article x Of the cove
nant of the League of Nations was
wrecked in the United States senate
because it carried a mutual pledge
ito respect and preserve the terri
torial integrity" Of the powers who
signed it and contained moreover
a promise that these powers would
consult with each other and advise
nnon the means of carrying out the
pledge.
Comment Oh Commission
The Chinese delegates originally
proposed that the first principle
should read "to respect and OBJ
serve" the territorial integrity OF
China, but Mr.. Root carefully elimi,
mated the word "observe" as per
haps too close to the word "pre
serve
There is much comment in con
ference quarters on the significant
omission of all reference to means
of compelling an enforcement OF the
four Root principles, which include
not merely respect for China's ter
ritorial integrity and independence
but a promise of the powers tic
use their influence for the purpose
of effectually establishing and main
tanning the principles of equal op
portunity for the commerce and IN
dustry of all nations throughout the
territory of China"
No specific mention is made as tt
what the word Influence" means
though it is commonly interpretef
as diplomatic and moral influence
rather than physical coercion. Th'
United States government, through
John Hay, secured the same pledge
from all the powers to respect ant
preserve the open door in China, bu
the archives of the department o.
state are full Of protests sent by
this government to Japan and othel
countries alleging violations of the
Hay "open door" principle.

ton is expected to come up for full

ference which has been called for

which misunderstanding arise by
reason of duplication of efforts and
failure on the part of the various
interests of the state to properly un-
derstand each others problems l feel
that this conference will be very
helpful. 1t is my earnest hope that
it will serve to dissipate any lack of
understanding which may now exist
concerning the vital questions af-
fecting our agricultural, commercial
and industrial life.
The subjects suggested in the
call are timely and include in one
phase or another practically all of
the big problems now confronting
us as a state That these subjects
are to be taken up and given care
full consideration by a conference
representative of the important in
terests of Arizona, is to my mind a
very hopeful sign that we are APP

MARKED CHANGE
FOR BETTER IN
COPPER MARKET
SAYS C.W.CLARK
From SATURDAYS 0sIlyl


Conditions in the copper market
are improving in marked degree"
said Chas. w. Clark, general man
ager of the United Verde Copper
company, to the Journal-Miner over
the telephone from Jerome last
night.
The sales in October" said Mr..
Clark, were 14o,OOO,O0O pounds, and
in November were 100000 pounds
while the average production for
those two months, including that of
foreign countries, was only Assoc, 900
pounds. If this depletion in the cop
Fer surplus continues, 1 would NOT
at all be surprised to see an activity
in copper production in the next few
months, along about March or April,
and especially may this be expected
if, in addition to the decrease in the
surplus, there should be reductions
in freight and taxation.
These latter drawbacks" Mr.
Clark said, must especially be re-
moved before the copper industry
will be warranted in resuming opera
tions.''
