TRUE PATRIOTISM URGED
Secretary Considers Present Big
Problems in Attitude Rail

PHILADELPHIA. 'l eb. 12 The at
titude Abraham Lincoln' would have
assumed toward problems aow coh
f rorrtingr America was discussed by
Secretary Lane in an address tonight
before the Philadelphia Lincoln club.
"When the people today talk of
revolution in the United States." de
clared- Mr. Lane, "they meet an an
ewer in the words of Lincoln, wh
said: ', 'In a democracy where the ma
Jority rules by the ballot through
forms of law, physical rebellions are
radically wrong, unconstitutional an
are treason.'
Right of Majority Discnased.
"Lincoln believed that the suprem
achievement of civilization, the climb
that ve have been making through
10.000 years, was the fact that th
wilfulness of the few had becom
subjected to the lawfulness of the
many. -
"Surveying America with its con
tinuous picture of a discontented
labor, I am sure that he would hold
that there can be no lasting economic
life where the employed and em
ployer regard each other as enemies,
where the ' philosophy of unending
warfare Is accepted as the shifting
foundation of our industrial lite;
plan of existence in which the women
and children of the workers, the mass
of society, the public, . are the su
preme sufferers. '
Economic Peace Advocated.
"He' would regard It as the com
manding duty of our time to find the
way, the gradual expanding way In
which the methods of war these
methods of economic war would be
abandoned, and in their stead, the
way of a growing law be substituted,
but the miracle of satisfying all he
would not attempt to worls, for he
put out the situation clearly when he
said. v hat s the matter with my
two boys? Just what's the matter
with the whole world: I have got
three walnuts, and each wants two.
very restraints and made the suprem-
acy or. law the highest, guaranty of
freedom.
"Lincoln the nationalist could never
have been an internationalist.
Through four years of an imperilled
republic he maintained the foreign
relations inspired by the fathers.
"I do not believe Lincoln would
have this expanded and enriched re
public of more than 100,000,000 hold
aloof from the world or avoid
single duty in furthering world civi
lization. His heart would have re
joiced at our part in halting the mili
tary autocracy of Germany In its
ruthless pursuit of world domination.
."I am very certain he never would
surrender the nationality, for which
he sacrificed and fought, to any super-
government of the world, no matter
what its title or its purpose might be.
He would cling to the American con
science as the guiding light of a con
fident republic."

"It was Lincoln's belief," said Sena

"It is America's supreme offering
today equal opportunity to all men
and reward as they merit it.
"Lincoln was neither opportunist
nor advocate of expediency. He was

"We got away with the Job this
time," ho said, "but we may be up
against it next time with a navy that
is not busy fighting the navies of
other countries at the same time."
The admiral declared that any crit
icism he had ever made had been
made for the benefit of the navy, but
that Americans do not like' to be
criticised. -- ,
"America cannot and -does 'not ask
for criticism," he declared. "You
know that. They argue: 'We're all
right' and If we're not, don't want
to hear it.' This is a dangerous atti
tude and has cost Us thousands of
lives. Assumption has been made that
I have criticised the record of the
navy. I have gone beyond the limit
in praising the men for their work.
. I have told the truth some of this
was -not liked.".' j
The admiral raid he wrote from
England with an" idea of "toning
down" some of the news. "I wanted
to modify," he said, "some of the
headlines that were appearing in our
papers and were being reprintefl on
the other side. These headlines, or ar
ticles, assumed that the United States
was the potent factor at that time.
We then had only S per cent of the
fighting forces. It was the same re
sponse: We re all right and if we're
not we don t want to hear it.
The, admiral said he had been ' in
formed that some naval officials had
criticised the idea of having civilian
authorities in charge of naval mat
ters. "I want to state emphatically,'
he commented, "that there is nothing
to It."
Referring to the charges brought
against him of being pro-British, he
said that any man who lived in
foreign country for the purpose of
studying conditions was bound to. be
called pro-this or pro-that."
"Look at Hoover," he added. "He
is being called pro-British." -

REFUSES TO
TREAT WITH JAPAN
Shantung Settlement to Be
Put Up to League.
ri
STAND IS DETERMINED
Pekin Government Supported by
Commercial and Educational
Organizations of Empire.
"WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. (Special.)
China is determined to submit the
Shantung question to the league of
nations for settlement, and will not
consent to enter into direct negotia
tions with Japan regarding the per
manent status of former German
holdings in that province. Advices to
this effect have been received here
by authorities in close touch with
developments in the far east, more
especially Shantung.
The Japanese government has an
nounced its willingness to proceed
with negotiations looking to the re
turn of Shantung to China, as pro
vided in the Versailles treaty. For
the last two months Japan has from
time to time approached the Pekin
government with a view to opening
negotiations.
China so far has shown no dispo
sition to begin the discussion, and
the government is said to be strongly
supported by Chinese popular opin
ion. Chambers of commerce and oth
er commercial and educational organ
izations throughout the country are
urging the Pekin government to
stand firm in its opposition to the
Japanese proposals.
That China ultimately may have a
foreign trade .of $65,000,000,000 an
nually is the view expressed by
Julian Arnold, American commercial
attache at Pekin, in a commercial
handbook on China issued today by
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce. Last year China s foreign
trade was 11,200,000,000.
The United States has made sub
stantial gains in selling merchandise
to China, having shipped 1117,000,000
worth during the fiscal year 1919, as
compared with $57,000,000 worth in
1914. the last pre-war fiscal year. A
big slump has occurred, however, in
the value of American cotton goods
shipped to China, which dropped from
$30,000,000 in 1906 to $1,200,000 in
1918. '

Qualities of JIartyr President Re
qnircd Today, Speaker. Tells
East Side Club.
Incidents from the life of the mar
tyred president were recounted last
night by Milton A. Miller, collector of
internal revenue, at the Lincoln-day
banquet of the Kast Side Business
Men's club, attended by about 150
members. The speaker . commented
upon the saying that "Lincoln belongs
to the ages and declared, we ought
to measure our lives by what we give
to our country."
He also reminded his audience of
the abuses to which Lincoln was sub
ject and spoke of his cool wisdom.
"The next man who is prosldent of
this country, he said, "should be
such a man of vision. Some say we
need a business man. Do we want to
commercialize everything?"
Major Thornton A. Mills, now sup
plying the pulpit of the Central Pres
byterian church, repeated his lecture,
"Fiddles and Fortunes."
"Merely making a living is a small.
mean thing," the speaker emphasized.
"Did you ever know of anybody who
had enough money to be satisfied?"
He reminded the gathering that
no great man has ever worked merely
an eight-hour day and that there are
two kinds of workers, clock-watchers
and those who get to their places
ahead of time. .
