Warming to Americans in China
Confirms Policy of Non.ProtectiOn

in periods Of civil war in some Carib-
bean nation, not alone to United
States lives and property, but to the
nationals Of the European powers
whose governments were kept out by
the Monroe Doctrine.
Then, to the Secretaryship Of State
came man. who, as mediator in a
Nicaraguan civil war, had learned at
first hand the resentment of Latin
Americans at the presence Of foreign
troops, supposedly to protect foreign
lives and property and in complete
disregard of the national sovereignty.
Thus, when early in 1881 reports came
of renewed rebel activities in the
Republic of Nicaragua, and the need
for outside protection was again in
voked, Secretary Stimson issued an
epochal announcement.
The Government of the United
States, he explained, could not under
take general protection of Americans
throughout Nicaragua with American
forces, for it was the exclusive task
of the established Nicaraguan govern
ment to deal with rebel or bandit
activities il. the interior Of the coun-
try, and foreigners should not expect
protection other than that afforded
them by the Nicaraguan authorities.
The Secretary recommended "all
Americans who do not feel secure
under the protection afforded them
by the Nicaraguan government.
through the Nicaraguan National
Guard, to withdraw from the coun-
try" and seek refuge in the vessels
along the coast. Those who remain"
he added, do so at their own risk
and must not expect American forces
to be sent inland to their aid"
In spite of the protest Of certain
conservative and reactionary groups,
Secretary Stimson insisted on this
new attitude, and the following year,
on the occasion Of an alleged COM
munistic uprising in Ell Salvador, he
issued similar instructions to the rep
resentatives Of the United States in
that country. Later on, he applied
the same principle to the Manchurian
crisis and even suggested that the
other powers of the world accept and
practice the same policy.
True enough. without the existence
Of a worldwide economic depression,
the change may not have been 50
easily accomplished. but the fact re-
mains, without going into the real
forces behind it. that q new policy
was thus inaugurated more in accord
with the modern trends Of interna-
tional law and infinitely safer from
the standpoint Of the preservation
Of peacs.

chaplains. a Signal Corps deta chment
of l6 officers and 278 men. and an
extra Medical Corps detachment OF
% officers and IFS men.
Most Of the units. except the In
fantry regiments. are to be at war
strength. The Infantry regiment is
so stabilized and its capabilities are
necessary. for the purposes of the
tests, to build them up to war strength.
The Infantry regiments of the new
division. however. will be changed in
some respects. They will be complete
ly motorized. except for the rife COM
panies. and transportation will be pro-
vided even for these companies. ex-
cept within the actual battle zone.
The regiments will not include field
trains, band, nor Howitzer COM
pany The service company will be
combined with the headquarters COM
pany.
1t Is proposed to strip the combat t
regiments of all possible non-com-
batant units, such as signal, engineer
medical, quartermaster and ordnance
units, and even the regimental band.
These will be grouped together, where
practicable, into divisional pool, upon
which the regiments may draw at
need In event of battle, these units
may be reinforced from corps or Army
pools.
Supply OF the "streamlined" division,
it was explained, will be greatly SIM
plified and accelerated. Combat sup
ply and baggage facilities will, as in
the past, remain with the division,
but the organization of the service
echelon will provide, through the
motor transport battalion, for the
supply Of all ammunition and daily
supplies.
Truck Drawn Guns.
The guns Of the Field Artillery will
be truck drawn. Once in position,
the trucks will be free to haul am
munition, troops or supplies. Field
kitchens also will be truck drawn
These trucks will be used, once the
kitchens are in place, to haul food
troops or equipment. All trucks will
be general-purpose units. In case OF
emergency any one OF them could
be used to snake gun out Of danger
or to move a field kitchen or rush
Infantry to new position.
How much of the reorganization will
become permanent, officers Of the
Army will not venture to guess. They
all believe that drastic reorganiza-

striving to get safe conduct
from the Japanese and Chinese
Il officials in North China for cit
liens of the United States it wants
to evacuate from the war-torn zone.
The chairman of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee has informed the
Senate of some of the steps being
taken in that direction. adding that
1t is the intention of the State De-
partment to ask all United States citi-
zens who do not feel secure under
existing conditions to withdraw.
Apart from the immediate and prac-
tical results, the announcement has
great significance from the point of
view of international law, for it def
nitely confirms one of the outstanding
changes in the foreign policy of the
United States in the past decade.
1t was only few years ago, as stu
dents of inter American relations will
remember, that the United States Gov
ernment was insisting energetically
upon the right to protect by force
its nationals abroad. even if this
meant the landing of Marines on for
eign shores and their becoming en-
broiled in the domestic quarrels Of
other countries. Not only the lives,
but the property as well, of United
States citizens endangered by internal
disturbances in some of the Caribbean
nations were being assured the pro-
lection Of the armed forces Of the
United States.
President Coolidge had proclaimed
his famous theory of unlimited pro-
lection, asserting that "the person and
property Of q citizen are part Of the
general domain of the Nation, even
when abroad" The State Department..
through one Of its highest spokesmen.
Reuben Clark, had admitted: mo ma
ton, it would seem, has with more fire.
ouency than has this Government used
its military forces for the purpose Of
occupying temporarily parts OF for
eign countries in order to secure ade-
quate protection for its citizens and
their property"
With little deviation, under Repub-
lican and Democratic administration
alike, that had been the almost ira
ditional attitude of the Washington
statesmen, at least when the country
where protection was alleged to be
needed happened to be one of the
smaller Latin American republics.
One Chief Executive of the United
States, Theodore Roosevelt. Of big
stick" fame, had even gone 70 far
