~ REACH of faith with China on the
- part Of certain European powers is
\ held mainly responsible in Washing
- ton for the ant-foreignism which has
eliminated in the grave events at
Shangha1. These events of far deeper
significance than industrial strife In foreign
owned mills and factories, or hot-headed out
breaks by super nationalist Chinese students
The Shanghai crisis is in fact the latest. but
probably not the last, explosive expression of
Chinas fierce determination to emancipate
hersef from foreign oppression and double
dealing.
For nearly two years in accord with our
traditional policy, the United States has left
no stone unturned to liberate China from the
burdensome International yoke. Specifically,
American diplomacy has been ceaselessly at
work to help China achieve her paramount
ambition. That ambition is the abolition of
"eNtraterritoriality. Extraterritoriality Is
the system under which foreigners in China
not subject to the jurisdiction of Chinese
their own nationals. Definite hopes We're held
out to the Chinese at the Washington confer
ence in 1921-1922. that the powers would take
speedy steps to do away with extraterritori-
ality. These steps have not been taken. De-
lay after delay has ensued France is un-
derstood to be chiefly responsible for OBJ
structing matters. Chinese resentment has
grown correspondngly intense.
Aggressive Elements Fired
1t is such exhibitions of bad faith with
China by the outside world that have fired the
more aggressive elements in that country to
resist them by every force at their command.
The Washington conference adopted resolu-
ton providing that three months later the
powers would send commission to China to
pave the way for abolition of eXtraterritori-
ality. China requested that her own purposes
would be served by postponing matters for a
year. and suggested that the commission
should not begin operations until the Autumn
of 1928. No exact date was suggested. TAX
ing advantage of that omission, the powers
(not including the United States) have IN
dulged in two years of procrastination.
The United States has exhausted every eff
fort to speed up the consideration of extra
territoriality. But Europe has not moved.
Meantime China's suspicious have been ag-
gravated and her dstrust of the so-called

and physical equipment, which must
necessitate large imports and inabil-
lty to make certain exports for some
time. She also has lost the income
of invisible itemS-that is, freight
transport, insurance, etc.-which for
merly tended to increase the export
side Of her account. But greater
than all has been the impairment
of her facilities for overseas trade
and her good will in foreign markets
and the necessity that she will have
to cut down many barriers which
have been put up in the meantime
Especially is this true of the United
States and the British dominions.
Other Questions Involved.
We have to inquire, then. first. into
what physical form will the surplus
of production over consumption nor
mally take and, second, is this
physical form identical with a form
which can be taken away con-
veniently. or, more simply stated,
what kind of goods will make up the
surplus and are they the kind of
goods which the creditor countries
can use without their own impair
ment?
1t would be useless for Germany
to produce a character of goods for
A-Nh NAASiS was Hol d TSduy market
and which would result in the neces-
sity for selling them at less than cost
In order to make proper distribution.
In such cases, dumping will be quite
as disastrous for Germany as it will
for the country receiving the goods
This depression of price, or dump
Ing, can only be avoided if the demand
for the surplus of German goods, alb
solutely additional to the normal or
existing demands, can be stimulated
to the point of world absorption, and
this is the most serious problem that
we have. We call it the problem of
transfers, but 1t Is in reality the prob
lem of the world absorption Of Ger
man surpluses without the wrecking
of the trade Of other countries.

BY WILLISH ENGLISH WALLING,
Authority on Labor and Social Move
mentS

mentS-
The American Ambassador to Mex
ico Is due in Washington to consult
with President Coolidge and Secretary
of State Kellogg. AT these conferences
Americas policy toward Mexico for
the next four years will doubtless be
determined. Those will be fateful days
for Mexico-and perhaps for the Unit
ed States.
The presidency of Gales offers an
opportunity for an era Of good feeling
between the two countries that may
not recur in a generation. 1t would
be criminal negligence to let that op-
portunity slip. No Mexican ruler has
ever been so we'll disposed toward the
United States, none has ever so COM
pletely accepted the main lines of
American policy as laid down not only
by Secretary Hughes but by his prede-
cesSorS; none has developed a home
policy so largely in accord with Amer
tcan ideas.
Gales is the first Mexican President
who has succeeded in building his
power largely on popular support
and in using that support to clean out,
or, as he says, to moralize, the govern
ment. All previous administrations
rested mainly on the bureaucracy, the
military and the nearly related land
lord class. 1t was difficult for any
government, no matter how liberal,
to rest on any other foundation since
the middle class was and stih is too
weak to build on-not through any
deficiency in Mexican training, char
acter or ability, but because nearly all
of Mexico's business is in the hands
of infinitely wealthier and better
equipped foreigners, chiefly Ameri-
cans. Against such competition the
Mexican middle class-outside of gov
ernment employment-has found 1t
difficult to exist, to say nothing of pro-
viding suitable foundation for a mod
ern progressive and democratic gov
ernment. Mexico is an ENORMOUSLY

rich country, but that wealth, except
urban and rural real estate-and by
no means all of that-does not belong
to the Mexicans.
Gales had to look elsewhere for his
foundation-and found 1t In the sur
prisingly well organized labor move
ment and the promising beginnings
of moderate agrarian movement
The laborites are now an important
part of a federal government the
agrarianS are successfully governing
three states and are a powerful in
f1uence in several others. With this
support Gales is cutting the army in
half, subordinating the generals, dis
missing large numbers of superfluous
government and railway employees and
putting government finance on as
strong a basis as could be asked for
in view of the extremely serious eco
nomic condition of the country-es-
pecfally serious because of the paraly-
sis of the one really Mexican indus
try, agriculture. Millions of dollars
worth of flour, wheat, corn, butter
and eggs were imported by this agri-
cultural country last year-a tre-
mendouS drain and still worse omen
for so poor a nation. Naturally, after
ltldICe, SdllSS ilTSL concern is aRrl-
cultural production and to do all that
can be done gradually to build up a
nation of small farmers in the place
of the old Mexico of 10000 landlords
and 10,000,000 poems, or agricultural
SerfS.
1t is hard to believe that Mexico
will soon again have so promising a
President. 1t may be doubted If any
country in the world today has de-
veloped a more broad-minded and con-
structive statesman. And the key to
Gales craftsmanship is his recogni-
ton of the fact that Mexico must
maintain the best possible relations
with the United States. America
should continue to be genuinely
friendly and patient with the Mexican
people and we should do everything
in our power to strengthen the hand
of Gales. Mexico, not Russia. is our
"acid test" before the world.

once the ban Is lifted, we'll in advance
of crops ripening here.
Mexico is not the only Latin-Ameri-
can country which is able to take ad-
vantage of this difference in seasons.
Argentina and Chile have been doing
it TO some extent during the past few
years, and doubtless will increase their
fresh fruit shipments to the United
States as better commercial arrange
ments are made. The AmbaS Ssador of
Argentina, DR.. Honorio Pueyrredon.
has been active in this direction, and
it is believed that the results of his
efforts will make the fruit growing
industry of his country more profita-
BILE in the future. On his recent visit
to Cuba to represent his government
at the inauguration of the new Presi-
dent of Cuba, Gen. Machado, he dis
cussed with the latter plans for in
creasing the commercial relations be-
tween their countries, and 1t is under
stood that he has sent a report to his
government on this subject.
One of the smaller countries which
is planning to take advantage of the
earlier crop-maturing season is the
Dominican Republic, which hopes
within the next year or two to be able
to place early vegetables of various
kinds in the New York market. An
agricultural expert from the United
States, Prof. John Gilmore of the
University of California, has been en-
gagged by the Dominican government
and will leave here within the next
two weeks to study agricultural and
rural conditions in the Dominican Re-
public and outline a program for de-
velopment of the agricultural and live
stock industry in the island.
Marked progress is being made, it
is reported. in the campaign started
some months ago by the sugar plant
ers of Cuba to study and help eradi-
cate some of the diseases and insect
pests which have been injuring the
sugar cane and reducing the crop
yield. This year the Cuban crop, it is
estimated, will be 100000 tons, the
largest on record, but with improved
conditions, 1t is believed. a still great
er crop can be produced

German Pastors Win
Right to Hit Alcohol

German courts have upheld the
rights of a minister to preach against
the excessive use of alcohol, and
thereby have established a precedent
for Germany. At the funeral of one
Domroese. a saloonkeeper of Span
dau, the Lutheran pastor, Lindemeyer
of Staaken, preached sermon
against the poison of alcohol Many
persons in the assembly followed the
same business as had the dead man.
and the sermon awoke protests which
nearly led to blows. The other saloon
keepers swore that the deceased had
died of blood poisoning, with which
alcohol had nothing to do, and that
he had drunk mo more than is re-
quired in his profession"
Later. the periodical of the hotel
Keepers published a sharp criticism
of Pastor Lindemeyer, accusing him
of "shamelessness before the dead"
The offended pastor brought suit for
libel and the court, deciding that the
pastor had spoken not to effend but
to improve, fined the author of the
criticism.

Out of the twilight zone, between
right and wrong there stumbled this
week another business practice. 1t
emerged on the right side of the
line, into the eager and waiting
arms of industry 1t came in the

ties OF cement and maple flooring
manufacturers. and in its import to
American commerce it is easily the
outstanding event of the year
Lawyers all over the United States
today are studying the courts deci-
sion, and trade associations are cele-
brating. 1t is no longer Illegal for a
business concern to say Good morn
ing" to another. Combinations are
legal, the court holds, for the purpose
of conducting a clearing house of in
formation within an industry.
Moot Question No Longer.
Those engaged in making a living
by producing or selling iron, steel,
lumber, coal, oil, cement, manufac-
tures-presumably anything else
may gather and disseminate facts
concerning production of their COM
moditieS, prices of recent sales, stocks
on hand and kindred information. For
years the Government has frowned on
the practice through the Department
of Justice and encouraged it through
the Department of Commerce.
Whether 1t violated the Sherman law
has been a moot question until this
week. 1t is moot no longer. 1t is
legal.
1t is almost impossible to overstate
the rejoicing in trade association
ranks which has followed the handing
down of this decision. About $50 en-
terprising trade associations are af-
fected. These associations, it seems
certain, will renew the practice where
It has been abandoned because of its
uncertain legal status or continue it
with added efficiency where it had
been carried on in subdued fashion
heretofore.
AS a result, industry soon will be-
gin to take a new survey of its posi-
ton. The day of trade statistics,
grown to full flower, is at hand.
Heretofore, even the vital statistics
of many lines of business have been

The United States believes that China will
eventually, if slowly and with travail, work
out her own destines. Her trials ana trlpuia-
tions since the establishment OF the republic
in 1912 are considered in Washington to be
nothing abnormal. They are looked upon as
the inevitable consequences of superimposing
a modern regime upon the ruins of an ancient
autocracy which held ilhterate millions In po-
litical bondage for centuries.
Dr. Alfred SEE, the American educated
Chinese Minister at Washington, always likens
the struggles of republican China to those or

ment system for many years after the Declar-
alton of Independence China needs Tune, too'

republics with generations of political trad1-
tions and experience as background
Washington Will Be Patient.
1t Is because the United States Government
sympathizes with Chinese difficulties, both
domestic and external that Washington Is de-
termined to be patient with China's efforts to
bring order out of chaos. America partlcu-
larly sympathizes with China's demand for
riddance of extraterritor1ahty unoer proper
safeguards for foreign interests America Ger
tanly will not consent to abandonment OF the
present system, whereby the powers main
tain their own courts of justice in CHINA, until
a thoroughly trustworthy Chinese system OF
Justice is instituted Not even the most de-
voted friends of China contend that anything
answering that description now EXISTS, or Is

Washington is confident that the Shanghai

gravity until the powers bring themselves TO

in the wild and ungoverned search
for material possessions.
X X X
We recall hearing a distinguished
French physician say, as he left the
room of one of our exhausted, and pre-
maturely broken American men who
had gone to Europe in search of
health: II cannot understand why it
is that those Americans will, at such
a frightful cost, labor for material
possessions only to realize too late
that they cannot enjoy what they
have gained because of impaired and
broken health"
The cultivation of our spiritual
needs has a distinct bearing, not only
upon our health but upon our capacity
to enjoy the things we have acquired.
Christ attempted to show that Man
shall not live by bread alone" He
sought to demonstrate the indispen-
sableneSS of the cultivation of the
soul. The indulgence in consistent
religious habits. or the practice of
Il wholesome religious life guarantees
to man, not only peace of mind. but
ability to enjoy in a legitimate way
the best gifts of life.
On his SEVENTEEN birthday Glad
stone wrote in his diary his three
great wishes as follows: First, that
/ may enter into retirement. Second
that l may be able to divest myself
of everything resembling wealth, and
third, that when God calls me, He
may call me early" 1t is little wonder
that his great political enemy, Lord
Salisbury, said of him, 'He was a
great Christian" In the retirement
of Hawarden he pursued the quiet
even tenor of his way unencumbered
by undue consideration of material
things. He cultivated his spiritual
life and came at length to experience
the peace that ''passeth all under
standing" No lesson do we need to
learn more fully than that which
Christ's parable of the rich fool"
sets forth.
X X X
Let us do the days task and fulfill
every obligation and seek for every
legitimate gain, but let us remember
always that the abiding and satisfying
rewards of life are not to be found
in the possession of things, but in the
consciousness of a life so lived that
it is void of offense toward God and
toward men.
The life that is finely balanced and
characterized by success is the one
that places proper value upon ma.
terial things while it recognizes and
fulf1lls it obligations to God.
