 Dragons teeth of war were sown, in respect of the Far East China and Russia against Japan, before many years pass,-with the Unit ed States neutral,- l,-this is the result of the conference. ., ?,-~ ......
 Is there, at last, an American diplomatist able to play the game as the English do?- creating situations which comne! other na- tions to fight for causes which profit us and promote civilization? Apparently, Secretary Charles Evan Hughes is that type of diplo matist and all the observers agree, at home and abroad, that President Harding evincec almost uncanny infallibiIity of judgment 1T selecting the psychological time for calling the conference. He knew when the forelg1 powers would be ready for such a call, how far they would be prepared to go III making concessions, and what the general result o1 the conference would be- All diplomatists now agree that President Harding's triumph has been monumental, his fait accompli casting into obscurity the visions and dreams of the Great Idealist, MT.
