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--

Marshal Focn Story.
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

ton and Cox' army that will take
Washington in March.
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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
