JAPAN AND THE MONROE
DOCTRINE.

japanese statesmen have frequently
alleged that if the United States can
properly have and enforce a Monroe doc
trine for the Americas, Japan can, with
equal propriety, set up and enforce
Monroe doctrine for Asia.
Nothing would please the American
people better. The Monroe doctrine is
that we should consider it an ''unfriendly
act' for any non-American country to
attempt by force to occupy any territory
within the boundaries of any esta ablished
American state. 1t is protective doc
trlne. We make no charge for it, and
claim and get no compensation whatever
We ask for no concessions" of any kind
Trade on equal terms is open, so far as
we are concerned, to all the world If, in
pursuance of treaty rights, we interfere
to maintain internal order, we leave as
soon as order is restored. We control no
ports" We let the people build their
own railroads or go without them. If our
citizens go to those countries or invest
money in them, they are subject to local
law
If Japan would set up that kind of a
doctrine for Asia, beginning with the
abandonment of its own special claims
OF every kind, leaving III particular the
Chinese to do precisely what they please
with their own country, the people of
the rest of the world would most heartily
reloice.-San Francisco Chronicle,

EXPECT HALF HAY CROP

Commissioner of Agriculture Frank P.
Washburn said Friday that on account of
the dry weather, he believed that the hay
crop for this year would not be over so
per cent. of a normal harvest. However,
Mr.. Washburn thought that the crop in
Aroostook would be normal, because of
the fact that the dry weather does not
seem to affect the Aroostook soil as much
as 1t does In other sections of the State
Commissioner Washburn further stated
that there would be about 80 per cent
of the strawberry crop on account of the
scarcity of rain, but that he did not think
that the blueberry crop would be affected
very much.
Commissioner Washburn also said that
he did not think that the potato crop has
been damaged and that there will be an
average yield.

THIS MAN DAWES

Again has President Harding made an
excellent appointment The man for Di-
rector of the Budget is Charles G. Dawes
OF Chicago, the direct, hard hitting and
yes, profane Mr.. Dawes. The same Gen
eral Dawes who gave one congre sional
investigating committee the thrill of it's
collective lives.
The country took great pleasure in lis
tenlng to Mr.. Dawes in that famous "Hell-
and-M Maria" session. He had some biting
things to say about the petty pettifog-
gerry that abides in Washington His in
olctment OF waste, extravaganza and
general governmental inefficiency was
classic. tie anolnted good many heads
with sulphuric acid
General Dawes has a record that does
lts own talking; but at that his troubles
are about to begin. He is to "take up
arms against a sea of troubles -
There is no wall more piercing and
poignant than the scream of a political
appolntee about to be suudered from the,
pay roll There is no fury more furious
than that of department head who finds
his estimates slashe4, macerated and
amputated.
S'h III w lue UOVS''
haven't been taking this budget very Sc
rlously. All along they have admitted
that 1t. looked pretty and "listened
weil;' but the bureaucrats embedded in
their bomb proofs smiled cynically, do
ing whatever it is that bureaucrats do.
1t has been regarded generally as an
other one of those things that won't
work"
They are not so sure now. This man
Dawes is disconcerting person. He is
a rough-and- tumble fighting man who
shoots from the hip. The congressional
record of his testimony before the War
investigation Committee is being looked
up and studied.
If the present budget machinery is
work kable, Director Dawes will make it
work. If it is not workable, he will say
SO In ways that will leave no doubt of his
meaning.

glng or pettifoggery, the offenders are
likely to find themselves embalmed for

THE MAN AND HIS JOB

If man cannot recover his job, can he
recover for his iob2 In Chattanooga, a
former employe of the Southern Railway
is suing the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, asking $1,000 damages be-
cause, he alleges, at the instance of the
union he was discharged on account of
being non-union iaborer, lost his re-
muneratlve job and suffered other and
attendant losses by reason of being sir
ed. p" Two important points-new in the
courts of tennessee and probably many
other States-are to be settled by this
suit. Whether non-union man dis
charged at the instance of the union has
any rights OF recourse al law and whether
union, such as the brotherhood against
which this former railroad employe has
lodged formal legal complaint, may be
sued for monetary damages in such cir
cumstances.
If it is decided that the corporate union
is on the same footing as any other cor
poration, then if this non-union man
shows that he lost his means of earning
a livelihood from the railroad mentioned
through no failure on his own part to do
his duty, but solely at the instance and
InslStence of the la Dor union why should
he not ask the courts to force this union
to make good to him such loss as he may
have suffered? The union cannot con-
slstly place the burden upon the railroad
company, because, according to the allie
cations, the union demanded the dis
charge OF the non union worker, threat
ened to strike and actually refused to
work for the company if he were not dis
charged.
Rights and liabilities go together. This
case is the case of the rights of a free
workman against the liability of legal
