sure to entail war if the restriction is
pushed beyond certain limit. This
limit, moreover, falls far short of the
total vindication Of the twin principles
Of the "open door" and the integrity of
China.
The whole art Of diplomacy lies in
the prevention of collision. But no
collision can be avoided if at the out
set either party to disagreement
establishes himself upon an abstract
principle. We can do business with
japan on the basis of bargain. We
can perhaps prevail upon her to resign
all claims upon political influence and
economic special privilege within the
Great Wall, provided we agree to rec
ognize her special claims in Manchuria
and Mongolia-but this is not the "open
door, nor is it the integrity Of China.
And If Mr.. Wilson earned enduring
condemnation because he sacrificed
principle, his principle, in Shantung,
can Mr.. Harding and Mr.. Hughes hope
for a more favorable verdict if they sac
rifce their principle in Manchuria =?
Again, Lloyd George has offered Mr..
Harding and Mr.. Hughes an easy way
to dispose of the Anglo-Japaneee alli-
ance by the mere substitution of an
Anglo-American-Ja alliance. But
since Mr.. Wilson was condemned for
his European alliances, can Mr.. Har-
~
through the avenue of an Asiatic al
lance? No. Every one knows that no
alliance Of any sort could earn the
Endorsement of the United States Sem
ate or of the American people at the
present moment
Facts and r,ot Principles
Will Lead to Agreement
The best informed Washington OBJ
server Of Far Eastern affairs said to
me recently: "The soundest hope for
success in the forthcoming conference
lies in q tacit avoidance of every
question of principle. On questions
of principle there can be no hope of
agreement, but in the discussion of
facts there will be disclosed many de-
tails in which accord can be reached
easily. For the rest, where there is a
disagreement the subjects should be
referred to commissions which can sit
long and report late. In this way much,
enough, can be accomplished.
Yet it is fact that up to the present
moment the emphasis in Washington is
being laid on principles, upon points.
There is much, very much, which re-
calls Mr.. Wilson and the days which
preceded Paris. There is suggestion
that the result of the conference will
be predicated upon the strength of the
case presented by the United States.
Now knowing the way Mr.. Hughes has
prepared his case, Washington would
advise the japanese to settle rather
than to go to trial, if the Supreme
Court or any other court were going to
heas The matter. Japan would thus
escape the humiliation of an adverse
verdict already assured. But the Jap
anese will not present their case to the
Supreme Court, nor do they need to
accept any form OF jurisdiction. They
may be persuaded, they cannot be
peacefully coerced. But nobody had
yet succeeded in persuading the Ger
mans of the moral weakness of their
case in 1914, of the legal frailty of
their argument. But the whole sue
cess of our policy in the Far East de-
ponds upon persuading the Japanese of
the criminal folly of most of what they
have done in the past decade and ex-
torting from them a firm pledge to go
and sin no more.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-06
BY Frank H. Simonds
WASHINGTON, November 5.

WASHINGTON, November s.
IN 1918 Mr.. Wilson went to Paris
armed with his famous fourteen
points and determined to make
these the basis for the creation of
his League of Nations. To-day Mr..
Hughes. almost equally the master of
American policy, enters new world
conference committed to three instead
Of fourteen points and resolved to
make these the basis for program
Of limitation of armament.
The whole Washington conference, at
least at the outset, will resolve around
Mr.. Hughes's three points. They rep
resent the beginning, the middle and
the end of American policy. They may
be succinctly stated as follows:
To re-establ;sh the doctrine Of the
epen door
To obtntn international recoonition Of
tie principle Of the integrity Of China.
To destroy the AnsIo-Japanese olli-
cHce
Since these points are of such vital
Importance, it is essential to define as
well as to cite them. What, then, is the
official conception of the meaning of
the term "open door?
To our representatives the "open
door will mean that in China and
Siberia every nation shall have the
same rights as any other nation; that
there shall be no discrimination or
fayori.ism in the matter of concessions,
trade and the rights and privileges of
different nationals. Our representa-
tives WILL insist that American economic
interests shall not be destroyed as
consequence of the exercise Of political
control by any other government.
TIE demand for the international rec
ignition of the principle OF the integ-
rity Of China is necessary co-ordinat-
ing factor inevitably coupled with the
advocacy Of the doctrine OF the open
door. SO far as the integrity of China
has been maintained even nominally.
it is a consequence of the course of the
United States in the past.
Finally, it is the view Of our govern
n;ens and Will be the contention of our
representatives that the Anglo-Japanese
alliance has been the influence which
fas enabled Japan to threaten the doc
trine of the open door and the princi
pie Ct the integrity of China. There
Gore to eliminate the alliance is an
essential step in giving real vitality to
TIE other two points.
Control In the Far East
Is Real y elbow Peril"
Every one knows that the ruin of Mr..
Wilson was achieved at Paris when he
undertook to translate fourteen alb
stract principles into fourteen concrete
realities. What then is the problem of
Mr.. Hughes? Stripped Of all euphe
missic phrase, it is stated in the follow
ing quotation from one of the closest
obser-srs Of current Washington senti
nents:
xThe control In the Far East, which
Japan desires, is the real yellow perll.
4 she can control the resources, lines
o. transport sation, furnish the brains
for conducting the governments, and
finally be in position to mobilize the
man power Of China, Manchuria and
Siberia, she will not only dominate the
Far East, but will be serious menace
to Occidental civilization. 1t is neces-
sary for our government to take cog
razaace of this possible domination by
Jarsn and to prevent it. Standing
firmly for our policy, the open door
aid the integrity of China the United
States should be able to rely upon the

Bandits Victim Dies.

L. E.. Strong, one Of the three rail-
road mail service men held up by a
lone bandit near Baileys station last
Friday night, and who received three
shots from the revolver of the robber,
died in the Minneapolis general hos
pital on Tuesday. The bandit, who
robbed the mail car of many thous-
ands Of dollars, is supposed to be in
hiding in st. Paul. Two suspects who
were arrested at Little Falls by the
sheriff proved to be whiskey runners
and innocent of the train robbery.

again, Zimmerman is imbued with the
community spirit-its people all pull
