FRIDAY, : NOVEMBER 23. 1021. HE OREGON' ;DAILY JOURNAL,. PORTLANdXoREGON: CONFER EfJCE FINDS CHINESE PROBLEMS HARDEST OE ALL Br Wklaaai fttr Editor of U Loadoa Timet. (Coprrisht, 1111. ky Cnlud Km) - Washington. Not. 25. Th truth that when what to food U not thoufht rood enough. It may b ally mad worse, was naartr vindicated In the grand com mltt of th conference on Wednesday. Not aaUaflcd with tha excellent out coma of Monday' plenary sitting, aome members of the French delegation de sired that' tha grand committee should caat Into a formal resolution the virtual pledges' given by Mr. Balfour and Mr. Hughes that. In the event of renewed German aggression, France would not be morally Inolated. KBA5CK WOtlD HATE LOST Protracted ;. discussion fortunately showed the Impossibility of drafting a ' satisfactory resolution. I say "for tunately" because France would Lave lost and not gained, had the remarkable unanimity of tbe Anglo-American re sponse to M. Briand's statement of her case been reduced to the text of resolution. The inevitable tendency in the future would have been to take the text as a maximum subject to Interpre tation of Ita precis meaning. Despite the inveterate French tendency to strive after precision and clearness, even when precision la attainable only at the ex pen of something greater, albeit less well defined, M. Brland can return to Franca well satisfied with the results of hit visit to Washington. In this conference It la a question of rinding appropriate methods of dealing with tha various Issues according; to their Intrinsic character. If French fears of moral Isolation are best treated by moral means, the more concrete problems of the Far East require more definite handling. Into the relations , between Franca and her comrades In war sentiment enters largely. From tha examination of the Chinese question sentiment needs to be largely excluded, excepting always the strong sentiment of good will towards the hundreds 'of millions of Chinese, people. DA5GEB FB03I 8BHTIXE5TAXI8TS One of the greatest dangers to the conference Is that British and American aentlroentaliats , may mislead public opinion Into identifying the personalities of the most conspicuous representatives of China with the cause of China her self. The fact that some of these per sonalities hav received a western edu cation and haw acquired a facility In the pronunciation of western shibbo leths, if not In the expression of western tdeaa. may blind the undiacernlng to the truth of the axiom that the more an Oriental Is westernised the leas does be command confidence In the East. On of th tasks of the conference Is to seek a means of breaking through ( th vicious clncle which has wrought so much evil to China and haa brought things to their present chaotic rasa. The rapacity of some western and some Asiatic powers, acting upon the selfish ness and venality of Chinese officialdom, haa engendered, a series of Ills which, unless checked, may ruin China and much else. Both rapacity and venality have crown by what they have fed on and they , kava sought constantly increasing op portunities for 1 predatory satisfaction. The demand for foreign loans, to fill th pockets of Chinese officials haa ... I ... d S 1 , 1 China th grip of foreign financial and political speculators. MARITIME QUESTIONS SATED . It Is significant that the first osten sible attack upon this evil process should have taken the form of an attempt to J destroy, or at least to undermine the one department of Chinese admlnlatra tion that has hitherto helped to keep predatory tendencies In check. The Chi nes maritime customs have repeatedly saved China frdm bankruptcy by main taining, under th supervision of honest foreigners, whole-heartedly devoted to Chins, at least one section of the Chl- . nee civil sorvlae. At present the only prospect of soaping from the vicious cirri of foreign rapacity and Chinese official vanantyt seems to He In the ex tension to a much wider area of Chinese publlo life of the principles that lender lay the administration of the maritime customs In tha time of Sir Robert Hart r of the Bait Uabeile in the time of blr JUchard Dame. It was the principle of cooperation be tween honest foreigners and honest Chi nese under Chinese sovereignty for the welfare of China and tbe discomfiture of bandits, Chinese and foreign. If It be objected that this would be an Intolerable outrage upon the inde pendence and sovereignty of the Chinese people, the answer Is that the views and . desires fTf the Chinese people tend to wards tin re-etabllshment of decent government, and that the representative tHJe of those who talk loudest of Chinese Independence and sovereignty Is un- ' proven, and possibly not susceptible of proor. BRITISH I.EA0 REALISTS Reports of yesterday's proceedings of in conference show that the issue was joined between what may be called the sentimentalists and the realists. The British delegation seems to have led the realist forces, supported by tha French, who pertinently asked by what authority tha Chinese delegates presume to speak io r China aa a whole. Tha Chines reply that they represented th only recognized government in China, la not held to be exhaustive. Th Japanese appear to have adopted an Intermediate position. The question likely to be pressed home until aome firm ground Is discovered, on Which the problem of Chin can be practically de bated. ' It cannot be too clearly borne in mind that China la the pivot of the whole Far Eastern situation, and. consequently, of th Washington conference. In ita Far Eastern aspects, and that until tha riddle "What is China?" has been answered the conference may mark time but cannot march forward. NUNC ION HOLDS T OP 5-CENT FARE By Alexander F. Joaei tinted Newt Staff Correspondent Chicago, Nov. 25. (L N. S.) Chica- giving waa utterly ruined. Sitting down to turkey and trlmmih's the entire city gave thanks for the 6 cent streetcar fare ordered by the Illinois commerce com mission i to take effect at midnight But somewhere between the oysters and the mince pie It was learned that Federal Judge G. A. Carpenter had Issued an Injunction restraining the com mission from putting the order into effect The order was Issued by Judge Car penter, in his chambers and the defend ants were not notified. The temporary restraining order sets December 2 as the date for a hearing before the court shall determine whether the order shall be made permanent. The street car companies, pleading before judge Carpenter, whose dinner waa likewise interrupted, claimed that the commission had given no preliminary notice in ordering a 5 cent fare, and the Judge, after deliberating, decided that this was correct The companies also claimed that a 5 cent fare waa not a fair rate. So hundreds of persons who had planned on celebrating the return of the nickel trolley ride had to pJf off the party ana conductors continued to col lect 8 cents, as usual. Misbranded Drugs -And Food Packages Ordered Destroyed A large quantity of adulterated and misbranded foodstuffs and drugs was ordered destroyed Wednesday afternoon by Federal Judge Wolverton at the re quest of Assistant United States Attorney Thomas Magulre.

IE FLYIIIG OF By Ffe 8. Ferfuoi V - - Catted New 8Uff Correspondent , Washington, Nov. 251 After practical ly two weeks of discussion and maneu vering - In 'the 'arms conference, "two types of , diplomacy are standing out in ooia reiier. , One, the Hughes modem.' ehtht-cvlla. der, red running- gear type that operates in uxe- open, has been In evidence since the opening day. The other, of thhen! erai vintage or xxuis xvi, has not been so . rapid in development but enough has been presented from time to time to stand out in sharp contrast with the new American - brand. TakinrdfPiomacy as a whole through the history of the world, there is little it has achieved of -a concrete. 8 tractive or lasting nature. American officials, consequently, have felt that" If the new brand that has been introduced made such a dent in the hard old diplomatic, crust of the past it would be worth while. Of course, it has done much more than that It has made the success of-- the present conference as sured and has put the world to thinking on concrete matters Instead of dealing merely with generalities and high-flown principles. American officials are -finding it ex tremely interesting to watch the rather feeble attempts of the old diplomacy, so prevalent in Paris, to get somewhere against, the open, unvarnished brand. mere is a strong suspicion in some quarters, for instance, that publication few-- days back of the report that France , intended to seek a navy as big as Japan s was not entirely accidental. The information on ; which the report was based came from an apparently reliable source. Considering that It was promptly denied,, when sufficient time had elapsed to get "reaction" to the report the question arises in some minds as to whether it might not have been put out just to test out how others might regard such an appeal. Such a report is what is known as a "balon d'essai" a trial balloon. In plain United States it is called "kite flying." It is a very old diplomatic trick, moss backed, in fact Try out an idea by. putting out a report through newspapers, and if it brings unfavorable reaction, forget about it France is re garded, as rather deeply in debt to be considering a larger, navy, particularly when her spokesmen emphasize her pa cific ideals, and also considering that she has never maintained a large navy in the past There is no tendency on the part of the Americans to brand the naval report outright as a "balon d'essai." Possibly It was an accident But those familiar with, diplomacy as it operated in Paris see it as a suspicious example of the old type working against the new. . not. occur for-several .months.
