It Is the V story of how the governments of the United - States, Oreat Britain, Krance. and Japan. - working- tojether through national oank trig ffroups. have planned to do away with - the old selfish policy of special spheres of Lncluence in China, BY THOMAS W. LAMOST. For years, almost for generations, there has been a far eastern ques- tion. In that question, although she has sometimes failed to realize It, America has always been deeply in-, terested. Through the formation of the new corsortium for China this - troublesome far eastern problem has, I hope, been brought one stage nearer its solution. - The new consortium Is an inter "' national body, made up of groups of ' 1 banks and bankers from the United ' States. Great Britain. France and , Japan. These banking groups have. ' been formed not only with the ap . hut at the reauest of their ' four governments. After long months of negotiations they have been finally i organized into this international part-- Bhin i ih the new consortium. f assisting China in the development of her great pub . 11,. ntrnriiF!L C.

It Is of course possible that not all of these aims will be realized. Inter national partnerships, even among bankers, are not easy to handle; they are apt to have the general defects of - coalitions. One of my favorite etories Is that of '-' Marshal Foch who. during all his career, had taken every occasion to nav that Napoleon was his pattern; th'A in military tactics and execution he had studied that great French' master of strategy, and for any worth that was in him felt Indebted to his master. Napoleon. "But," added the i Marshal, "now that I, Ferdinand - Foch, have fought at the head of a " coalition, I have less respect for Napoleon, who used to defeat coal itions." We must remember that the forma- tion of the consortium is but the first etep In a long and arduous pathway. The banking groups will have to dis niiv toward one another great toler- noe j-reat natience. Still, the four iv' banking groupe have undertaken the enterprise of the consortium In good ' faith and In the best possible, spirit. "W ith the welfare of China as the first consideration. I personally believe ' that in working together on this prin , eiple and in a spirit of give and take' ' the consortium will succeed. " ' Warship Policy Develops. In order fully to understand the character of this new attitude toward China one must go back for brief sur vey of the old policy. " Starting in the middle of the last , century the powers generally with """ the exception of the United States developed toward China an attitude that might almost be called the policy '"of the warship. It was a gunboat I.cre or a squadron there to enforce ttipomatic demand, and on many oc v.i casiens trocps were landed and puni tive columns sent to the capital or v ' into the Interior. Forts were seized cr obtained by pressure on a govern- mer.t not strong enough to withstand bullying. . - Alons with these territorial acces- sions there were created, through a variety of circumstances, a series of "spheres of influence," all tending to impair the independence and sover eigr.ty of China. This policy served'to divide up China commercially into al most water-.tiprht compartments, and the nation like the United States which had no compartment could not do much trading. Then, too, the contest for conces sions and for influence by the large .'nations that were seeking to establish their spheres of influence in China ln votved them in serious rivalries and international jealousies. It was a situation- that might readily have led to . armed conflict. The government of the United States undoubtedly had in mind this fact, as well as the preservation of Chinas integrity, when it moved for a formula of Joint action. If the consortium is a success the possibility of war aris ing in the far east will be greatly re duced, and China will have a better end fairer chance to work out her destiny as an independent state. America Haa Consistent lolicy. Not the least of the advantages to America to be derived from the for .',. mation of the consortium is the final adoption by Washington of a policy toward the far east which seems logi .'. can, consistent and likely to endure. - Americans in the far east have com. " plained bitterly, and with some rea y on. of their country's shifts of policy. Those changes have been due, as I take it, not to vacillating minds, but rather to changes of administration . and differing points of view, i There had been, it will be remem bered, an old International consortium . which was established in 1908 and was made up of banking groups from ' Orcat Britain, France and Germany. ' Its scope was somewhat smaller, but ' the general idea was international co . operation in political loans to China. ; iSuch an idea appealed strongly to I'resident- Roosevelt, whose secretary of state, John Hay, had laid down the policy of the "open do-r" in China, and also to President Taft. They therefore requested that an American j group be formed and be admitted into . the international group. Accordingly a small American group was made up, consisting of Messrs. ' J. P. Morgan & Co., Messrs. Kuhn. -' Loeb & Co., the First National bank and the National City bank, all ot r New York, which was admitted to the International councils. it was this four-power group that in 1S11 - made the loan of six million pounds Z sterling for the initial construction oi the Hukartg railways in China. New tiroup Formed, i' As long ago as 191 the Wilson ad- ministration took up afresh the con ' s:deration of far eastern matters and informed the members of the old '.v. American group that it planned upon a new and somewhat broader scheme to encourage its citizens to make in vestments in the far east, and espe cially in a way that would inure to tne beoifit ot China and that would give one more evidence of America's friendship for the Chinese. The state department accordingly made public its policy along these lines. In compliance with its request, the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. and Messrs. Kuhn, Loeb 6c Co.. the First National bank of New York and the National Citv bank of New YZh-k. their associates, the old group or-; ganized a. new American banking group, inviting a large number of banks and banking houses through out the country which had shown an Interest in far eastern matters to join, their selection having been previ ously approved by the state depart ment. American Gfoup Withdraws. About this time banking groups from Russia and Japan sought entry into the consortium. Accordingly it was enlarged by the admission of the two new groups and thus was made a six-power group. In March, 1913, President Wilson's first administra tion came into office. The American group at once made inquiry from Mr. Bryan, the secretary of state, as to whether the attitude of the new ad ministration was to be the same as that of the two previous administra tions in their policy of encouraging co-operation in the far east for the stabilization of conditions in China. The Wilson administration. ex pressed disapproval of such a plan and, accordingly, the American group was obliged to withdraw at once from the international consortium. This left a five-power group, under whose auspices the so-called reor ganization loan of 25,000,000 was made in 1913. In the year after this the great :war broke out and of course the actjve operations. oft the con sortium ceased. This group, now . numbering 36 members, is made up as follows: J. P. Morgan & -Co.," Kuhn, Loeb & Co., National City. -bank. Guaranty Trust company, Chase' National bank. National Bank of Commerce, Bankers Trust company. Central Union Trust company, the Equitable Trust com pany, Harris, Forbes - Co., Brown Brothers, Halsey Stuart & Co., New York city. Lee, Higginson & Co., Kidder, Peo body & Co., the First National bank, National Shawmut bank, of Boston. Continental- & Commercial Trust & Savings bank. First Trust & Sav ings bank.'

The group drgnated a managing committee of seven members to .act as an executive body. (To be continued.) f. IS SHOWY AFFAIR Parade of Bands and Clubs Is Miles Long.

The serious parts of the notifica tion speech were brief. He emphs sized the fact that at the convention Cox had won after a contest lnvoiv ing. a prolonged scrutiny of his qualifications. He dramatized Cox as governor of Ohio in the role of gallant reformer fighting "every im proper influence in the state." He enumerated as Cox' achieve ments a new constitution, a work mens compensation law ' reconciling the difference between employer and employe; the passage of the Ohio budget law, improving the rural pub lic school system, improving the penal institutions ofthe state, a model sys tem of public roads, mothers' pen sions and a child labor law. Platform Dismissed Briefly. Then Senator Robinson turned brief ly to the democratic platform. He, too, had undoubtedly seen air advance copy of Cox' speech and he bore down with vehement earnestness on the league of nations. President Wil son and the nagging of the senate, whom he irged with preventing the coun. .rem coming to peace. Senator rioblnson ended with rather rough and not very pointed allusion to Harding. Turning to Cox, he said: Tt is no expected that you will conduct front-porch campaign. It is not be lieved you will .wait for American people to come to hear your message but that you will cheerfully carry to them." At last came Cox. He had perfect composite. There was not much ap plause at his first appearance; not so much as would have come if th audience were not a little tired. The show part of the occasion precedin the speeches had been extremely sue cessful, but the parade had consumed a good deal of time and the afternoon was hot. least be reassuring to many of our citizens who feel that, in signing the treaty, there should be no mental reservations that are not In plain wcrds as matter of good faith to our associates.' By his reservations. Governor Cox seemed to mean to cover only those things that our constitution does not allow us to do, and he wanted them made expressly that there should be no misunderstanding. The speaker made everything lead up and lend aid to emphasizing his whole-hearted support of the- league. There really was effective art In the way he first pictured the repub lican position in order later to make his own seem conspicuous by contrast. He cleverly utilized Senator Johnson's commendation of Harding to make clear his picture 'of the republican position as being identical with that of Johnson and the irreconcilable opponents of any league at all. Issue Pictured In Extremes. He forced toe republicans in his speech into the farthest extreme op position of the league and then took the other extreme himself. There was no shirking in his position, whether you liked the league or not, you ad mitted Cox candor. He was not afraid of looking a world of chaos in the face and taking a principal jjart In setting things right. The house of civilization is to be put in order" he said and he had no doubt either of our duty or our capac ity to set it in order, and as you looked upon the confident, clear-headed speaker you felt that he was not without confidence in his own capacity to handle world problems If fate should carry him where these problems would be his. And you felt, too, that there was much justification for his confidence. Cox looked pre-eminently a man who would go straight to the heart of any practical problem and make few mis- lakes in the administering of it. COX TO TOUR EAST L NOTICE SERVED BY WASHING TOX PUBLIC SERVICE BODY, . Democratic Cause to Be Car ried to People. 10 SPEAKING DATES, SET Consideration of Interstate Rise and Intrastate Proposal Will Be Consolidated. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 8. (Spe cial.) In serving informal notice of a hearing Tuesday, August 17, on car riers and shippers of this state, the public service commission announces its decision te consolidate considera tion of the recent 25 per cent In crease granted the railroads by the interstate commerce commission and the application now pending for a separately local increase of freight rates between points In western Washington. , As the local increases are based on length of haul, it is expected that the Seattle chamber of commerce will be represented adequately at the coming hearing, on account of the obvious ad vantage Tacoma wholesalers will have in southwest Washington terri tory, with 40 miles less haul than Seattle shipments require to reach the same section. This is more than a 50 pel cent reduction of mileage in favor of Tacoma for Olympia territory and not a great deal more than 50 per cent reduction for the well populated Centralia section. In the pending application, the rail roads propose an increase of 10 cents each 100 pounds between Seattle and Tacoma, while the increase on ship ments from Seattle to Centralia is 12 cents each 100 pounds. From Seattle to .Aberdeen the increase is from 37 to 74 cents and from Seattle to Hoouiam it is exactly doubled, running from S7 to 75 cents. The increase from Seattle to Olympia is 19 H cents. On Seattle to. Portland shipping the local increase "would ex ceed 100 per cent., running from 37 Vfc at present to S6 as proposed. Notwithstanding this advantage. the Tacoma chamber of commerce has served notice that it will protest the local increases on the ground that application of the federal increases of rates to local business in this, state will meet all reasonable revenue re quirements and more would be unjust to ehippers and consumers. INCREASE IS $45,0O0,Q00 New. Schedule Filed With Navy Yard Board Is Large. WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. New wage schedules filed with the navy yard wage board represent an annual in crease of S5, 000,000 for employes of the 43 yards, according to an of ficial estimate prepared by the board. The conference closed Saturday.' August 20 was tentatively set as the date on which a decision might be expected. The case of clerical workers 'was cited as typical of those which prob ably would require action of congress. Numbering 3000 in all, clerks, book keepers and similar "trades" request ed increases totaling $3,000,000 per annum. liepartment oinciais nave held they would be unable to alter their present wage scale, fixed by law. without action ot congress. Speech Has Striking; Passage. The first of the really striking pas sages came in the very beginnin when Cox said: "I thank God that take up the cause of democracy a 1 free man, unfettered by promises." Every politically sophisticated- man in the audience wondered just what Cox had in mind when he said that; whether Cox was taking notice of the republican jibes about his visit to Wilson and the alleged promi to stand for Wilson's policies. BuCthe phrase might just as well nave had reference to some of the forces like Tammany and the New Jersey "wets," wli ch had a leading part In nominat ing him at San Francisco. In Cox' more intimate surrounding, there has been a good deal of concern about that. Cox' personal manager, Edmund H. Moore of Youngstown, O.. wlto managed the pre-conventiou cain i,aiirn for Cox' nomination with such success, greeted ycur correspondent a fe-w minutes atler Cox had Deen nom inated at San x Francisco, and there was unmistakable self-justification in his voice and manner when, in that first moment "f success, the thins that occurred to him to say was, "1 haen't promised so much as a post- olf.ee to a single human being. Same Thins In Teld Cox. Later, when Moore returned from San Francisco to Dayton, the first thing he said to Cox was these same v.oras. However, the precise lmpn-.a ticnr of Cox' declarations at the open ing of his speech of untrammeiea freedom are something witnin his own mind. That he had neither fear nor com ptinction about tying himself up to Wilson arrd Wilson's version of the leaerue of nations was the first 1m portant thing th.at appeared in his speech. When he said on two occasions, in contexts which showed his whole hearted spirit, "I favor going into the league," every friend of Wilson and Wilson's treaty in the audience ap nlauded. And the applause was not merely for Wilson and the league of nations. It was not merely for Wil son's friends. The applause was equally for the courage and candor of the man who said it. The point that struck you as you listened was the completeness Governor Cox' identity with Wilson's position on the league of nations. Of course, all that Kind ot tning can d more minutely examined and more accurately explained by the editoria writers and others who will read th speech at leisure and will compare it wiui the debates in the senate an with the positions taken by othe American public men. Reservation Talk Seemn Mild. But to your correspondent, listening to the speech and watching the speak er's manner, it seemed as if he were really trying to put himself squarely in Mr. Wilson's shoes. Not only did hid reservations, as he spoke them suem more mild than any of the others that were put forward in the senate and elsewhere, but furthe than that it seemed that Governor Cox' reservations had a wholly dif ferent Intent and spirit from those that were put forward In the senate. It seemed as if Governor Cox was concerned not with a grudging cau tion lest we concede too much, but as if America might give away too much. The thing he wanted to do was to look out for our allies and save them from the consequences of any misun derstanding. He wanted his reserva tions to be wholly of the nature that Mr. Wilson has described as "inter pretive"' but even at that, he seemed ta apologize to the allies for making even "interpretive" reservations. N Attitnde Is Kaplalned. As he explained, "we hear it eaid Good Impression Made. Altogether Cox made a good im pression primarily: it was an impres sion of straightforwardness and prac ticai acuity. His speech was clear and simple. Al no point was there any taint of oratory, of saying something be cause it would sound well. Next to the league of nations the burden of his speech 'was that body of social and humanitarian issues which are roughly grouped as "pro gressivness." But in emphasizing this he hardly ever had the air of abusing those whom he would call re actionaries. There was nothmg what ever in the way of stirring up the audience. Indeed, in this part of his speech he was less emphatic and did not make out as strong a case for himself as he does In private con ference. There was no slam-banging anybody, not even the republican party. There had been a good deal of that in Sen ator Robinson's speech, but Cox' was a simple, clear and restrained expo sition of hia own views on the league of nations. He cheerfully an.d clear headedly took on both the assets and the liabilities of Wilson's position. Audience's Confidence Grows. On the other topics he gave a clear and simple exposition of easily prac ticable remedies and innovations en tirely safe and sure-footed. As the udience grew accustomed to him. they unquestionably felt an increas- confidence in his competence in political affairs, both in his words nd manner, he was wholly without self-consciounessa without ornateness a man of straightforward direct- ess. Unhappily, any great enthusiasm that might really have been devel- ped in the audience was a little thwarted by the cirmumstances that ust after Cox had reached the mid dle of his speech a shower drove that art of the audience which was with ut cover. includinsT the newsDaDer men and " the 13 distinguished guests. into seeding a roof, a disturbing lu ident that rather broke up the accord between the audience and the speak- r. Also the enthusiasm of the audi nee had been rather consumed by the length of the parade and the lively- Interest the audience had in it. But, if there was no effort at eloquence or motion on the part of the speaker and no marked outburst on the part of the audience, nevertheless the an dience did have the air of steadily increasing approval of the man and confidence in him. It was cqnspicuous that in spite of rain and other handicapping circum stances the bursts of applause became more hearty and more prolonged as the speaker drew toward the end. Wherever Cox appears in person he will make votes. Harding Will Be Pushed From Front Porch, Declares Mana ger of Speakers' Bureau. DATTOX, O., Aug. S.

Governor Cox spent most of today receiving congratulations on his address. That the vigorous championing of the league of nations would continue prominent in the campaign was indi cated by the governor in a speech he made today for phonograph records.

In conclusion the statement said? "Barely less than half the demo, cratic senators, plus all republican senators, supported the Lodge reser vations. Republicans and democrats stood shoulder to shoulder for the protection of A'merican Independence and interests. The senate in a pa triotic and unpartlsan consideration did a great service to the nation and world. The republican party is proud and confident as it goes before the country on that record."
