OPEN DOOR AND OBLIGATIONS

This country may be said to have
won a diplomatic triumph as
locker on at Lausanne. Contending
for the right principle of the open
door it prevented some of the allies
from dragging under cover of the
treaty certain doubtful concessions.
But the maintenance of that open
door becomes an obligation as well
as an advantage. This is now an
important feature of our interna-
tional relations and in the nature Of
things must be susceptible 81 in
creased importance, and likewise of
increased obligation.
Conditions in China emphasize the
obligations likely to arise with
respect to this open door. We have
all along insisted on this with
respect to that country and have
been measureably successful. But
in this country, China, to which the
door has been set open, anarchy Is
fast taking the place Of orderly gov
eminent. In recognition of this
evident condition Great Britain's
government has suggested that the
other powers join her in the adop-
ton of some concerted effort to
maintain law and order along the
coast and in the seaports of that
country. Japan expressed unwilling
ness to enter such concert but she is
considering taking a decisive step
on her own account.
Japan is peculiarly interested by
reason of boycott instituted IN
China against Japanese goods. Be-
tween those countries exports and
inn ports are said to have fallen OF
nearly half and the Japanese finan-
cial interests are agitating for re-
pr5sals. They are demanding that
these Chinese be compelled to desis,
from the boycott. Any attempt to
enforce such demand must, il sue
cessful be the beginning, If not the
end, of a closing of the open door
Che far-reaching nature of any
HSUth a step is apparent.

What the shop Strike Cost
(BOSton Iferald)

NbDSlOn J1tTdIuD
The Boston News Bureau offers a
tabulation of the "out-of-pocket costs
of the shop strike on so of the largest
roads of the country. and makes their
total bill to have been more than $685.
500, 1000, not including damage to prop
crty, loss Of business, losses by dam
age claims, or the increased costs of
doing business. but only the direct
costs of that suspension of service"
The figures are according to evidence
introduced by the department of JUS
ticc." The loss to the Boston & Maine
and its subsidiaries is set down at 49,
100000 even. The bill for the New
Haven and the Central New England
is given more exactly as s2,532.50S. II
these sums seem large there are many
others much larger, as the Atchison,
the Baltimore 4 Ohio, the Northwest
ern the c. Il. & O., the Erie the Louis
willie &c Nashville land the Northern
Pacific each with bill of more than
S3.000.000: and the Norfolk & Western
loss of more than 100000; while the
New York Central Lines lost more
than $4,000 and the Pennsylvania
is declared to have lost the great sum
of $15.40S,613. Only four roads are
listed at less than $2,000.000.
These losses cannot be justified un-
der any reasonable economic theory.
Did that strike pay, or was it futile?
Was it necessary, or would the men
have Jared better had they stayed at
their posts? 1t used to be said that
labor could not obtain any advance
ment or concession from capital except
by the threat or the fact of strike.
That is not now true if ever it was
true. Put the public in possession of
the facts and public opinion will obtain
as rule what a strike might not OBJ
tain. The story of the 12-hour day is
the most recent and the most effective
Illustration of that truth.

THE INEVITABLE HAS HAP
PENED

The inevitable has happened In
Water street The Are truck whis-
zing through that congested thor
oughfare, yesterday, collided with
cars and endangered the lives OF
citizens. Fortunately, on its passage
through to the fire. the street was
cleared. Had a collision occurred
on that trip lives would have been
spared only by miracle, seemingly.
The return was made, it is said, for
more hose. Apparently having seen
the fire truck pass few minutes be-
fore the people were not looking for
its return. Under such conditions
the sounding of the alarm was most
necessary. Some bystanders eX-
pressed the opinion that this was
not properly done. Be that as 1t
may, the results were disastrous,
Some may regard this Is lesson
to the public to clear the street. 1t
is-and more, much more. AS a
matter of fact with two electric
freight cars and big trucks side by
side, as happened within ten min
utes of the time the accident oc-
Cured, clearing the street probably
would have been an impossibility
with the fire truck running at the
speed it was going to the fire. One
might look far and wide and not
find as hazardous conditions for the
passage of a speeding fire truck as
exist on Water Street from Depot
Square to Bridge street. The thor
oughfare rs narrow, there are two
street car tracks; the curbs in GER
tain hours are usually lined with
vehicles with little chance for an
outsider to get in to the curb. A
terrific speed should not be permitted
even to fire truck unless the peo-
pie of Augusta set the value Of
burning properly above the lives Of
human beings. And manlfestly con-
sideration should especially be given
by the driver of the truck when re-
turning to the station. When the
FIRE alarm sounds the public has
time to get out of the way, but on
the return there is no general alarm
to warn them. knowing this the
driver of the truck should exercise
unusual precautions. Not to do so is
10 endanger the lives of people.
Needless to add such a disaster as
occurred yesterday impairs the eff
flciency of the fire department and
delays it's proper service at the fire.
demonstrating beyond question that
reckless haste under such conditions
is a serious obstacle to efficiency,
let alone public safety.
Time and again the Journal has
had opportunity to speak in the
highest terms of the wellknown ex-
ccllence of Augustus fire fighters
and their able chief whose splendid
work commands the respect and Ad
miration of all. We feel. however,
that what happened yesterday was
no more than what might have been
foreseen under all the conditions
that have existed. 1t should not be
permitted to occur again.
