or military domination over all nom
colonial soil north Of the canal with
the possible exception of unwieldly
Mexico. which has proved rather a
large bite We had no competition.
| But although we pushed out into
| the Pacific as far as the Philippines,
we found that in the period before
and after Seward had declared for
American command Of the Pacific
area. the other powers had penetrated
| into the orient and had begun to
divide China into spheres Of British,
! German, French, Russian and Japa-
nese influence. by means of vari-
Gus wars and peculiar treaties. All
this was very bad for expanding
American trade.
Then came the Boxer Rebellion.
The United States, whose foreign
policies were then guided by Sec
rotary John Hay, could hardly parti-
ton section of China--for one rea-
son public opinion was very much
against it.
The best that our statesmen could
hope for was an even break with the
rest Of the world and at this point
Hay enumerated the policy Of the
"open door" The new Chinese policy
called for equal rights for American
/ enterprise and, theoretically. a kindly
attitude toward the Chinese, for Hay
served notice that we were opposed
to any more partitions.
/ Roosevelt and Taft continued the
policy Of seeking equal opportunities
! for American trade and investments;
/ Wilson rcceded a little. but the Cool
idgc- ellogg policy has been virtual
ly that Of their Republican predeces-
sors and has been marked this year
by a notable refusal to aid other ma
tions in tightening their control over
China.
As against Russia, which had ham,
pered our penetration of Manchuria.
our game was Japan's when those
two countries clashed and Roosevelt
boldly warned France and Germany
against any Intervention they nav
have contemplated in Russa's behalf.
The net result Of that war from our
standpoint was maintenance o. o..
open door in north China.
During Harding's administration
our Chinese interests began to con-
flict seriously with those of Japan,
then allied with Britain. The Wash
inyton arms conference followed.
with these three nations and France
banding together to avert Asiatic
trouble and reiterating the "open
door" policy.
Today our troops and airplanes are
in China in large numbers. but our
government is again preventing other
nations from obtaining strange
hold on that country and apparently
gaining certain gratitude from the
Chinese. all Of which is as helpful to
our interests in China as any other
policy we could adopt.
In conclusion. it is worth noting
that if our Latin American policy had
been applied to China, it would have
long since meant war with at least
one and perhaps several other world
powers.

John Bull Says Enough Is Enough
Chicago Tribune }


Sir Austen Chamberlans remarks at Geneva will
be protested in England by the same sort of theor
lists in international affairs as. in the United States
were all for our going into the league of nations.
The good sense OF the speech, however, will appeal
to the mass of British opinion and especially we
suspect to the peoples of the dominons 1t is the
dominions as Sir Austen candidy disclosed that
do not propose t. underwrte more commitments in
European politics and whether Mr. Ramsay Mac
Donald realizes it not, the pressure for more
guarantees by Great Britain has brought the home
government to choice between the league Of ma
tions and the league of British commonwealth.
Sir Austen's speech will make profound I'M
preston in America because it wildly discloses a
situation in which we too, should have been en-
tangled had entered the league. Great Britain
naturally and inevitably is drawn into many of TIL.
complications Of continental politics. She was the
chief factor in the creation of the league and is its
most important bulwark, but Canada, Australia.
New Zealand and South Africa are not necessarily
concerned in European politics any more than We
are and wisely though perhaps little tardily,
they have let it be known that they have gone as
far they intend to go. The judgment and in
stnct Of the people Of the United States expressed
by 4 score of courageous and clear sighted men in
the senate. saved our traditional independence at
the threshold Of the enterprise and the British do
COunS
try likewise in checking the extension Of the gov
crnment's responsibilities.
That extension was certain to &C on indefinitely,
for there is an obvious profit in tying up the British
power as CULVER bound in Llput. The
American people do not propose to submit them
selves to any such experiment. As an independent
power the United States will strive to live annie
ably in the family Of nations and to do it's full
share t~yard peace and progress But it will not
deliver its freedol, Of Judgment conscience and ac-

issues which really concern us with more effect

More Ties Severed

Austria, strong republic, is watching the ties
which bound it to the old monarchy gradually being
severed.
One of the latest instances with the death
of Prince Montenuovo, former grand master at the
court Of Francis Joseph and leading figure in tn
old monarchical government. Infexbly in the old
days he aided Francis Joseph in the task of govern
ing Austria Hungary. What sorrow it must hav"
given him to see Austria become hut fragment OF
its former self after the over-a fragment

1t has been argued that the mallness of Austria
indirectly has been a cause Of the recent street
riots in Vienna. Where country cannot produce
enough to meet its needs and is forced to i'm

natural, under those circumstances, to expect some
sort Of an uprising, if not now, few years later.
