Knocking at Johns Door

IEEW men have had the chance for fame
l. that is now presented to our new
minister to China, John V. A. MacAIur-
ray
Today he is just about arriving in
Peking. The stage is all set. The spot
light is ready, The band is playing and
the situation, melodrama-fashion, is all
built up for his entrance.
A nation of 4O0,O0O0OO people is being
oppressed by selfish group of great
powers. Too weak TO throw off the yoke
themselves, their one chance is TO find a
diSinterested friend who will stand by
them and see that they get a square deal,
MacMurray, backed by the United
States, can be that friend. But the lega-
ton compound in Picking is a perfect hot
bed of intrigue. Cunning diplomats rep
resenting the interested powers will leave
no stone unturned to win MacAlurray
over to their side. And the foreign pow
ers want to keep China down while their
nationals go on exploiting her helpless
people.
To make ii harder for our hero, most of
his own countrymen out there too, are in
ssting that the United States Join the
other nations to make the Chinese stay
put-with machine guns, if necessary.
What will Minister MacMurray do?
In 1900 Secretary of State John Hay
one of Secretary Kelloggs most illustrious
predecessors. told Britain, Japan, Russia,
Germany, France, Italy and Portugal
where to get off. He gave them to under
stand that we would not tolerate the dis
memberment of China nor even coming
her off into exclusive spheres Of inter-
est for exploitation purposes.
Instead, he warned all and sundry that
Chinas territorial integrity must be pre-
served, that the door must be left open
to the whole world on an equal footing,
and that there must be square deal for
one and all-including the Chinese.
Minister MacMurray and Secretary
Kellogg have but to take their cue and
the play will have good ending.
Opportunity, they say, knocks once at
every mans door. She is now hammer
ing away at the portal of one John V. A.
MacMurray.

Preventing Droauninqs

DROWNING of a 13-year-old girl in
~ Green lake and the near-drowning
of 7-year-old boy call attention once
more to the need for eity-operated life
saving squad, which has been pointed out
repeatedly by this newspaper.
Undoubtedly there will be other drown
ings before the hot weather is over.
In city nearly surrounded by water,
as is Seattle with its many bathing
beaches and with hundreds of children
and adults swimming in points apart
from the regular patrolled beaches. such
squad would prove invaluable, and
would cost comparatively little to main
tain.
In the event of drowning, it is usu-
ally difficult to find anyone nearby who
is familiar with reSuscitation methods.
Consequently persons often die when, by
quick work, they might be saved.
A light truck, equipped with life-saving
paraphernalia, and stationed in some CEN
trail location, manned by crew of two or
even one man, could reach the scene of
many of these drownings in time to rem
der invaluable aid.

COUNCILMAN MOORE, the augy

COUNCILMAN MOORE, the august
" chairman of the council judiciary
committee, has some peculiar ideas
He believes that two wrongs make a
right.
AT any rate, he decides that nothing
shall be done about the ''miSdirecting di-
rectorieS' that have been placed on prom
inent corners turnout the downtown sec
ton because the same inaccuracies that
appear in them appear also in the city di-
reetory.
We wonder how the Judge made this
theory work out in the days when he sat
on the bench When the prisoner was
brought before him with the story of how
he went wrong because he had been asso-
ciating with evil companions, did the
judge say: well, of course that lets you
out, You're diSchargedw
Seriously, it's rotten theory. And
why the Judge should try to work it out
on long-suffering public, and on the
thousands of strangers in our midst who
use these ''misdirectorieS" every day, is
more than we know.
