IA TOILETTE RADTCALISM
DOOMED, BORAHDECLARES

policies on too narrow a basis. When
the Government is asked for direct
aid to railroads and business inter-
ests, nothing is said about Socialism
or Communism, but when the same
principle is applied to the agricul-
raised that the Government ought not
to go into such matters. So in
tariff legislation, in banking and
transportation. the interests of agri-
culture have been too much over
looked. The farmer Is, in fact. not
asking so much for special legisla-
ton as he is for equality Of treat
ment. These conditions are likely to
become aggravated and might take
almost any form politically"
What is most on the farmers
asked.
The farmers are beginning to
show a deep interest in more
thoroughly balanced tariff" he re-
piled. That is to say, they feel
that the disparity in price between
what they have to sell and what
they must buy is brought about. in
large measure, through the tariff.
The farmer is interested in freight
rates and other matters, but what is
chiefly worrying him nowadays is
extra high protection to manufac-
tured goods. whereas he must sell, to
very large measure, in the open
market. 1t was the demand for a
square deal on the tariff principle
that was the handspring of the Nc
Nary -Haugen proposition.
THE farmer requested this bill as
simply the other side of the shield
of protective tariff. The farmer
saw in that measure some compen-
sation to him for the benefits he
feels the manufacturer is getting out
of the tariff. 1t doesn't satisfy him
to say to him that protective tariff
is craftsmanship and that the Nc
Nary Haugen bill is cheap politics.
The party and the statesmen who
are wise in their day and generation
will take heed of these conditions and
frame their program and policies on
little broader scale. The American
people are not radical-minded, but
they are exceedingly sensitive to any
program Of favoritism or any pro.
posed to overturn the Government
but they haven't the same profound
respect for political parties.
I Foreign Debt to Be Issue.
There is another subject of ire
mendously growing interest all over
the country, and that is the vas,
| amount of American capital that Is
being placed at the disposal Of foreign
nations. The taxpayers of the coun
! try know that they loaned some
! 50 .000, 900, 900 to foreign countries dur
ing the war; they know that, with
but one important exception. no inter
est has ever been paid upon this
amount. They know, furthermore
that the interest on private loans is
being promptly paid. What happens
therefore, is that the taxpayer is In
effect paying interest upon the pri
vate loans in foreign countries.
Liberalism, in other words, con
sists at this time of the simple propo
sition of giving the people a clean and
economical Government and of legis
lating upon these public questions in
the interest of the whole people. II

see foreigner soundly thrashing a

BY YUSUKE YSURUMI.

The rising tide of liberalism in ia
pan as eXemplitied most recently by
the passing of the manhood suffrage
bill cannot be understood separated
from the change in Japan's attitude
toward China. Japan's vigorous for
eign policy" reached its climax in
1915. when she rendered to Peking the
world famous = demands. Her chang
ing mood appeared first in Paris and
then in Washington and now she has
definitely launched upon her new
policy.
Japan has taken the occasion to
clearly declare her disapproval of the
foreign control of China in any form.
It is the enunciation of a new policy
along liberal lines. We know under
what difficulties the Chinese are strug-
Cling to bring about peace and unity
in that vast country and they have
our wholehearted sympathy.
1t must not be thought that this
new movement in Japanese liberalism
is mere temporary effort to cultivate
good will betCeen China and Japan.

Top Hats and Telephones
Are Not Ideal of Japanese

Cynics may say that Japan has been
forced by the United States and Eng
land to give up her plan for dominat-
ing China in the interest of wider
distribution of the spoils. There is no
doubt some necessity in our new vir-
tues: such situations are not peculiar
to the Orient, but the new turn in
ChineSe-JapaneSe relations has a
deeper significance. 1t is an express
sion of the growing desire of the Jap
anese to take up anew the study of
Oriental civilization. 1t means that
Japan is discovering that Western
civilization dominated by the machine
and the passion for comfort, offers no
solution to the great problem of in
herent permanent national stability.
serenity of the spirit, the conquest of
himself.
Triumphant man may not be re-
vealed in the end adorned in a top hat
and attached to a telephone. Asia has
civilization of her own. TO restore
and develop the best in that civiliza-
ton is a fine work worthy of the
noblest endeavors.

Progressive movement of the

hopes the development may be within

parties.

NV Chinese suddenly turne,

anti-foreign and begun
boycotting and killing
foreigners, with the result that there
Is talk in London and other capitals
about international military expedi-
tions? e
The answer Is that the Chinese are
not anti-foreign In any radical sense.
They are just anti what foreign ma
tions have been doing to them for
hundred years. Fundamentally
there is no difference between what
is happening in China and what is
happening or has recently happened
in Morocco, Turkey, Egypt and India
They are all nations that have been
ruled by white powers. White rule
has been far from gentle. 1t has
been endured only because the great
powers had the strength to impose
it. The war has left the great en-
pires either militarily exhausted or
at least markedly weakened. 1t also
spread a lot of dangerous doctrines
about the rights of small nations and
self-determination. The doctrines
have soaked in. And the subject
peoples realize that the weakness of
the white empires gives them good
opportunity to apply the doctrines.
In that sort of atmosphere it has
needed only a small incident to serve
as the spark which could be famed
into flame.
Old Resentments Flame.
In China a strike in a Japanese
factory, itself of no Importance, ig-
nited the spark. Resentment at con-
ditions going back generations fam
ned 1t into a flame. What are these
conditions?
Imagine in New York or San Fran
cisco the harbor and the whole
downtown business district held and
governed by Germans, with German
mayor, German police on. the streets
and German laws in force. The Ger
mans would pay no taxes. The Amer
leans would pay. but they would
have no vote and no voice In the
municipal government.
If German anywhere in the
United States killed an American he
would be tried by German judge.
If an American even violated the
anti-spitting law he, too, would be
tried by a German. This is what is
meant by extraterritoriality - the
right Of a foreigner in any part of
China to be tried by his own court
the offense be against a Chinese.
Under this right, also. no foreigner
need pay taxes to the Chinese gov
ernment, though he make his money
in Gina out of the Chinese people.
Suppose also that the tariff law of
the United States were fixed by the
diplomats of all the European powers
and that Congress could not raise the
