Would You Sock This Neighbor in the
Jaw?

Cantonese Foreign Minister Eugene Chen's pro-
posal for an international commission to investigate
the Marking incident and fix the blame, is a rea-
sonable
IF the nationalists are guilty" he says in ef
feet in reply to the five foreign powers demands for
apology indemnity and promise-to-be-good, we will
comply with the demands. But first let's find out
who's guilty"
The demands of America, Britain Japan, France
and Italy are reasonable enough, this newspaper
pointed out the day they made IF the ma
tonasts really committed the acts complained Of
But we added, the nationalists could hardly be
expected to confess and make amends for a crime
they did not commt--and that is what compliance
with the allies demands would be taken to mean
a confession
Foreign Minister Chen was foreseen now
takes this very position. He refuses to accept as
already proved the charges that his soldiers at
tackled the foreigners in Marking, but asks instead
that an international commission find out exactly
what happened.
Suppose somebody in a gang of small boys,
playing in the street, throws a rock through your
window? Suppose you glance out and see boy
dressed like the son of of your neighhors and
you believe it was he who threw the stone And
suppose you stalk rather angriy to that neigh
boris house and demand apology from the boy,
pay for the window and a promise from his dad
that the boy won't do it again. Then suppose that
neighbor replies:
I'm sorry old man, for what happened. No
matter who did it. And if it is true that my boy
did it, I'll apologize to you formally, pay for the
glass, to it that ne doesn't do such a,hng again,
and spank him to fragile into the bargain. Now
let's inquire among all who might have Witnessed
the incident and find out if he did it,
Would you sock that father in the jaw without
further ado? You would not. You'd accept his
statement a perfectly reasonable one.
China is acting just like that neighbor. And,
seeing her weakness and the great powers strength
we'd be playing the bully not to accept her answer
as promise of complete compliance in the event

Good Will

There is a legitimate relation between our for
egn trade and our foreign political policy.
Good will is an important factor in trade
whether domestic foreign. 1t lis also an impor
tant factor in establishing and maintaining AMIGA
BILE relations between nations.
In promoting trade in foreign countries business
men seek to build up good will for themselves and
their product. This contributes toward building
good will also for their country, its people and its
government
Everybody gains and nobody loses by promoting
good will.
But a foreign policy that foments resentment
and bitterness in people of another country tends to
down what wise business enterprise has built up
The National Foreign Trade Council will hold its
fourteenth convention in Detroit next month. There
will be addresses by leading captains of industry and
one by Secretary of Commerce Hoover on American
Foreign Trade"
Among the topics announced will be- 'The
Motor Influence in Our Foreign Trade "Michigans
Vital Interest in Foreign Trade and Foreign Uses
for American Capital"
The purpose of this editorial is to suggest not
only the propriety but the possible benefits to both
foreign trade and foreign relations of a full and
frank discussion of both and the relation of each
to the other In fact, both trade and politics come
under the head of foreign relations.
We believe that a policy of good will toward
the peoples of Central and South America, for
ample, will do to promote both commerce and
peace than a policy which suspicion among
southern neighbors to friendly intentions.
When weaker nations can't fight back with mil
iary weapons they resort to the boycott. Japan
found that out when she antagonized the Chinese
with her imperious twenty-one demands. The lesson
is that political and military Imperialism doesn't
pay-and hence is not good business.
There is grave danger to our trade below the
Rio Grande in some of the laundering diplomacy
of our State Department Under Kellogg. President
Coolidge may be wise enough to change the Kellogg
policy and restore of the good will we have al
ready lost but it will help matters if the National
Foreign Trade Council, at the Detroit convention,
gives some attention to the influence of diplomatic
policy on trade relations.

Bullying Fails

Business is seldom helped by a
bullying policy. This was never
more wildly illustrated than by the
conduct of Henry Lane Wilson, our
ambassador to Mexico when Madero
fell.
He has just written a book telling
how he brought Huerta and Diaz to-
sether after the revolution of 1913,
and how he kept them at the Ameri-
can embassy until they had reached
and signed an agreement by which
the former was to become provis-
ional president.

There are two billions to be made
out of commerce with China, but
it's a two-sided game, and the rest

tive side.

Hang Themselves

The Chinese situation is getting
along far better and promises to
cause far less trouble than it would
have if the United States and other
powers had gone at it hammer and

The Bolshevist terror, which so
many people imagined would rouse
China and draw Russia into the
strife, has accomplished nothing thus
far but to split the Cantonese camp
wide open.

Just Like Jim

Senator Watson deserves the thanks of the
Nation for offering the best joke of the early spring
time.
This is sad world at best 1t needs laughter
1t needs to be relieved from its seriousness
Certainly no bigger joke could be perpetrated
than the suggestion of the senior Senator that his
colleague, Arthur Robinson, be named as one of the
Reed committee to probe election corruption.
When he asked that Robinson be named to as
sst Senator James A. Reed of Missouri in that
work, he must have done with the desire of get
ting laugh from every except Robinson him.
self.
The people of Indiana remember that the Reed
committee probed conditions in Indiana and that it
came here when Chairman Walb made the charge
that international bankers were spending money in
every precinct to defeat Watson and Robinson.
When desperate fight was made to prevent any
lrther investigation of frauds anywhere and espe-
ally in Indiana, Robinson became so bitter and We
ernent and vicious in his fight that even Watson

Having failed to stop the probe, Watson now
roposes that man who tried to prevent any in
4ury at all be named to take part in it,
That is truly Watson suggestion. 1t is just
Ike Jim. That could be the only explanation for
s activity.
For certainly would be unkind enough to
lggest that Watson, by his nomination, wished to
call to the people of Indiana the actions and words

Business Talks

This is the voice of business speak
ing, the voice of men and institu-
tons devoted to trade.
1t is an appealing voice. 1t calls
for order in which everybody be-
lieves and speaks for prosperity,
which everybody wants.
But exactly how many boys would
Captain Dollar care to see draped
over barbed-wire entanglements in
China to make his property secure?
The idea of sacrificing life for
money is still more popular than the
idea Of sacrificing money for life.

Times Readers
Voice Vices
To the Editor of The Times:

Just a. word as to why l am op-
posed to daylight saving. First, be-
cause l am a railroad employe and
the company uses standard time.
That means that several hundred
men in railway service would be
forced to ride own cars to work
and to pay ten cents fare, that
means the third trick going to work
at midnight. The second trick quit
ting at midnight would also have to
face the same thing.
1 surely do not like to think about
the confusion in the home with part
of the family on city time and the
railroad men on standard time. 1t
surely would mess things up.
Here is hoping it is defeated.

Real Progress

1t has been the illusion of civilized
governments that they could best
develop trade with weaker peoples
and make money out of it by con-
quering, or exploiting them.
Freedom and independence, how
ever, form the basis of real progress.
Markets and enlightenment go
with elf-government.
China will never open her mind
or her door to the west until she
is permitted to do so in her own
way.

Sane Course

The Coolidge administrator is to
be commended for the sane, deliber-
ate course it has recently adopted
toward China, and none should be
quicker in approving such a course
than business men.
They may lose a little that might
have been saved for the moment by
a rush and a roar, but they will
gain by tenfold in the end.

Wrong Policy

The United States has never done
herself or anybody else much good
by trying to run other nations. Such
policy is not only wrong in itself
but is opposed to American tradi.
ton.
Besides that, it invariably costs
business more than any other ele-
ment.
