selves at least the equals, II not the

Now, much Of Japan's strength rests
on her military prestige. Ever since
the island state was modernized and

torious In war: twice against China,
at the end Of last century. and in
1872 when they took Manchuria

And here let me expose q fallacy.
The Chinese themselves, If properly

Ing with Chinese troops organized by
European officers, and they were frst

effort on behalf of American peace
and there have been many-has
stressed the necessity of outlawing
force as a means of adjusting external
quarrels. At the first American Con-
ference, which met at Washington in
1899, this common desire was expressed
In resolution suggesting: Il. That
the principle of conquest shall not
be recognized as admissible
under American public law. 2. That
all cessions of territory shall be
void if made under threats of war or
the presence of an armed force.
3. That any nation from which such
cessions shall be exacted may demand
that the validity of the cessions so
made shall be submitted to arbitra-
tion." Similar resolutions, concerned
not only with the remuneration of the
spoils of war, but with the prevention
OF war itself, were passed by all the
succeeding pan-American conferences,
specially those Of Buenos Aires, Santi-
ago and Havana, while, in the mean
time, a series Of arbitration pacts were
committing the American republics to
the defense of such principles. Out
standing among these are the Bryan
arbitration treaties, the Gondra con-
vention. the Kellogg pact, the Wash
lngton treaties of arbitration and con-
Citation, plus a number of bilateral
agreements.
Non-recognition Pledxed.
Finally. IN August, 1892, while Bo-
livian and Paraguayan troops were
clashing over the Chaco, 10 American
governments pledged themselves to
the non-recognition of territorial ac-
QUESTIONS resulting from war. When
hostilities ceased in the Chaco, Bolivia
and Paraguay, the only two American
nations which had not signed the orig
inal pledge, made 1t the paramount
feature Of their peace accord and
bound themselves to settle ali their
differences by diplomatic and legal
means, irrespective Of the final posi-
tions Of their armies. Even before
that the non-recognition doctrine had
played an important role In avoiding
open warfare between Peru and CO.
lombia, when the former was reminded
Of 1t in no uncertain terms BY the
State Department and informed that
the seizure Of the small Leticia town
by some Of its citizens would never be
acknowledged as legitimate.
With such a tradition In the service
Of international law the Latin Ameri-
cans could not have failed to answer
the clarion call to peace sounded by
President Roosevelt.

human life increased astoundinpIv
These advances have come about
largely through the efforts of the
medical profession itself. They have
been possible because it has been. on
the whole, well enough recompensed
to devote time to research. Mighty
little OF this can be expected from A
man working eight hours q day ION
the line" and 70 tired after his dsy's
work that he hasn't enough energy
lett to read medical journal or at
tend society meeting.
The threat Of state medicine comes
at particularly bad time, from this
point Of view, for Washington. The
city Is rapidly forging to the front as
the foremost medical center In the
United States. Here are located some
OF the greatest specialists and some of
the greatest research organizations in
the world. 1t might well become in
the next 10 years what Vienna was 80
years ago. Complete success of the
state medicine experiment. might
drive away its specialists and wreck its
medical schoOls-a price too heavy to
contemplate. 80.
The best interests of all are served
II the doctor is prosperous, with .
mind free for the problems Of his
practice and not distracted with his
own economic worries, able to attend .
course Of advanced study now and
then, maintain an automobile which
will enable him to get around, educate
his children to follow in his footsteps,
etc. They are best served If he keeps
up q healthy rivalry with his fellow
practitioners.
This condition. as the doctors see 1t,
Is seriously threatened.
Factory Hands.
Unquestionably there are serious
economic problems to be solved. The
danger lies in accepting some easy.
superficial solution which fails TO take
into consideration the complexity Of
factors involved and which carelessIy
and ignorantly sacrifices the real
values which the medical profession
has established through the years.
An entirely acceptable solution, 1t
is likely, will come only through years
Of patient experimentation. One Of
the most notable experiments, too little
known. is the Medical-Dental Service
Bureau Of the District of Columbia.
which adjusts fees in accordance with
a patients ability to pay and Ar
ranges for long-term payments. BY
this set-up the physician himself has
no direct economic relations whatso-
ever with his patient.
Life and physical well-being cannot
be allowed TO depend on economic
position.
The practice of medicine cannot he
allowed to hold the status Of private
business. the quantity and quality OF
the goods one may purchase depend
ing solely on ones own pocketbook.
On the other hand, the physician
himself must operate rs An almost
entirely free, independent agent In
order to practice his profession ef-
ficiently. There could be few greater
tragedies in the District Of Columbia,
or anywhere else, than . mechanizing
and leveling Of its medical services.
The doctors themselves see the threat
Of just this In the health insurance
scheme Of the Home Owners Loen
Corp.
If they are reduced to factory
hands, working eight hours q day IN
the line, 1t will not be long before
they will have the attitude Of factory
hands.

China.
China UncOnquerable.
I still believe. taking the long view,
that China Is unconquerable. But the
more immediate problem is what will
happen now. The younger generation
Of Chinese, to whom I have already
referred. are thinking Of the present
and are not content to live as eco
nomic serfs, biding their time and
waiting for their increasing population
to exercise its slow pressure on the
usuppers. There Is . new patriotism
in China, unknown for centuries, and
the beginnings Of a military tradition.
This latter Is highly important. For
hundreds Of years the profession Of
arms has been despised In China
Only the lowest sections Of the popu-
lation would serve willingly as SOL
diers. Now there Is change visible.
The strength Of the resistance put up
by the Chinese armies around Shang-
hal astonished every one, including the
japanese themselves. Most astonish-
ing was the remarkable performance
Of the Chinese air fighters. When 1t
comes to bomb dropping, the Chinese
pilots are not particularly successful,
and have done - much harm to their
own oountrymen - to the enemy.
