BALFOUR EVINCES BRITISH SYMPATHY FOR AIM, FRANCE I WUtha- Steed K4tf of Um Loads Tum tCoprriabt. 1921. by CniUd Nw Washington, Nov. 22 There I one outstanding difference between the plen ary session ot the Washington confer ence and theee of the peace conference In Tarla. , Formality and a feeling that what waa being aald tn public waa not what waa j being thought and done In private, viti ated atl the pobllc proceedings of the Tarla gathering, aave, possibly, the final ceremony of the signature of pace. At Washington ther hare been three plenary sittings. The first aet the tone, rut Indeed the pace of .the conference, and lifted It to a plane from which It cannot easily deacend. In a leas dra matic fashion the second public sitting waa worthy of the first ; but when the moment cornea to look back upon the conference as a whole, I wonder whether the public sitting of Monday will not aeem aa beneficent aa either of Its predecessors. BALFOUR'S TALK CHALLENGE It may have grown out of a misun derstanding ; but. If ao, the misunder standing waa happy. Last week Mr. Balfour In reviewing the matters with which the Washington conference could not hope fully to deal, mentioned land armaments and said they would have to be considered t another time and treat ed by other meana. Poaaibly' on account of difference of language, these remarks were In some quarters Interpreted aa an allusion to the slse of the French army, and the French prime minister- reply was also looked upon aa an answer to an Indirect challenge . In point of fact nothing waa further from Mr. Balfour's Intention than to reflect Inalduously on the French posi tion. Ills purpose In enumerating matters with which this conference would bo un able fully to deal waa to clear the' ground for the consideration of the limi tation of naval armaments. M. Brland himself readily understood the true character of Mr. Balfour's words and, as he subsequently remarked to a frtend. "Mr. Balfour is not the sort of man who speaks obliquely." But he availed himself of the opening to aak that an opportunity be given him to state the French case to the Ameri can public and to the world, and Mr. Hughes gladly granted the request. In no quarter was the feeling of pleasable anticipation of M. Brland'a speech keener than among the members of the British delegation. They felt that, by reason of the comparative weakness of her navy, France had not hitherto played at the conference a part commensurate with the greatness of her eervlcs,.the splen dor of her valor and the Immensity of her sufferings In the war. It waa there fore hoped that Monday'a proceedings war 'and the right to reparation which they entail. . BBIA5D 19 C058THIXTIYE Those who know M. Briand know also that he regards the European situation lo a constructive spirit, that be la anx ious to maintain the closets cooperation with England, and even to collaborate with a democratic Germany In the task of mitigating the dislocation caused by the war. They felt that should his speech be Inspired by this spirit, it would be cordially welcomed and might be publicly indorsed on 'behalf of Ithe Brit ish delegation. These expectations were fulfilled. M. Brland's speech was all that could be desired. It waa clear, concise, matter of fact and eloquent by turns, dramatic In Its very simplicity and moving by 9 POWERS ADDP U.S. A FOR CHINA SOLUTION Berlin People Riot As Prices Increase; Stores Are Raided By Robert J.

It was j Problems have been agreed upon by the not so much an Indictment of Germany aa an analysis of the true condition of Germany, and a vindication of the pre cautions which a peace-loving France la. In duty to herself, and to the cause for which she, with her allies and asso ciates, victoriously fought, bound to maintain. It raised In pertinent form the ques tion whether, in discharging this duty, France is to stand alone, in moral Isola tion, or whether she wlljl be comforted by the good will and support of her comrades In arms. BALFOUB SUPPORTS SPEECH To this question Mr. Balfour straight away made reply. There may have been moments In his life when he has been more eloquent, or at any rate, more ele gantly certain of his phrase. There can never have been moments In his life ) when he was more obviously sincere, or more moved. In effect he said that to raise the question in ' the presence ,of the delegates of the British empire was to answer it. Had not the peoples of the British empire, who were only one of the allies and associates of France, given nearly a million lives in the de fense of the cause of liberty for which France stood. And had they not suf fered in addition more than two million casualties? They grieved at these losses. They did not regret them. And since their views of the sanctity of the cause were unchanged, as was their con viction of the necessity of the war, could it be doubted that, should a like emergency occur, they would again sacrifice themselves without stint? For France to stand in moral isolation would be a tragedy indeed. He therefore supported nd accepted M. Brland's speech with all his- heart, and urged it upon the attention of the citizens of the United States, whose happy lot it is to know nothing of the terrors and the dangers amid which France lives and has her being. He wished France every success -upon the path of unaggressive prosperity she had elected to follow. In the bright light of this glowing ut terance the speeches of the Italian, Japanese and Belgian representatives seemed a little pale, but when Mr. Hughes' voice rang out with its vibrat ing note of American good will towards France, and his assurance that there are no limitations for. those who defend liberty, the proceedings rose again to a rare degree of Incandescence. It was a great moment and a great sitting. It helped the work of peace and good will among the nations yet another step for ward along the road on which the Wash ington conference already stands as a mighty landmark. might redress the balance. It was also hoped that the French prime minister might be able to destroy once and t for an me errecta or tne "poisonous propa ganda ' which he recently denounced, and to convince the American people that France is neither Imperialist nor militarist, nor solely absorbed In the thought of her own losses during the committee on Pacific and Far Eastern questions. The principles, comprising the Ameri can method of approach to the difficult Chinese problem, drafted by Ellhu Root, were presented to the committee or tne nine powers late Monday and unani mously adopted after discussion. BIO GAIX MADE Thus a great stride forward In dis posing of Far Eastern questions already has been taken. In fact, arms limitation and questions of the Far East may now be regarded as moving forward neck and neck toward ultimate disposal. The principles adopted constitute a reaffirm ation of the open door policy. They commit the United States. Great Britain, Japan, Italy. France, Portugal, Holland and Belgium : 1. To respect the sovereignty, the in dependence and the territorial and ad ministrative integrity of China. 2. To provide the fullest and most un embarrassed opportunity to China to de velop and mtintain for herself an ef fective and stable government. 8. To use their influence for effec tually establishing and maintaining the principal of equal opportunity for the commerce and industry of all nations throughout China. 4. To refrain from taking advantages of the present conditions in order to seek special rights or privileges which ! would abridge the rights of the sub jects or citizens of friendly states and from countenancing action inimical to the security of such statese. NOT BINDING, BUT GUIDE Of course there is nothing binding about the resolutions adopted by the committee and covering these princi ples. They are to constitute a guide, it was explained, in applying methods of solving certain concrete questions in the Pacific. It was stated, for example, that sub scription to these principles did not necessarily . affect the Anglo-Japanese alliance. That future application of these prin ciples, however, would bring a general understanding among the powers inter ested in the Pacific, such as will render the Anglo-Japanese pact obsolete, was the expressed belief of British spokes men. Japanese delegates appeared to be sat isfied with the Root proposals. They believe the principles laid down are suf ficiently broad to prevent serious trouble. Berlin, Nov. 22. (I. X. S.) Sixty persons were arrested today charged with participating in the plundering of food and other shops throughout the city. Mobs of unemployed plundered provision stores throughout Berlin. The populace was terrified today, j fearing repetition of mob activities. The ! ostensible cause of the trouble was the continual rise in prices of foodstuffs, al though officials blamed communist agi tators for organising the mobs. Germany faces a hard winter with widespread misery, and the masses are becoming desperate. Insurance companies report a 65 per cent , increase in their rates for insur ance against mob violence. Fifty-two of those arrested were members of the communist party. Po lice believed this indicated the rioting was a well-organized political move ment Open air demonstrations and proces sions were prohibited by police' in an order issued today. This action was taken to guard against possible recur rence of the rioting. Columbus Knights Are Tuning Up for Real Minstrel Show .
