Some she will never pay because, being morally bankrupt, she cannot. Some she can pay, but marking times on general political uncertainties, she willx not. Some she cani and will pay because her own national - existence is at stake.' , ? For the railliong consigned to untimely graves for the Rachaelg weeping, for their children for the blind and criplcd and broken-down bodies of their sons left as a heritage to nations that never wronged her--there can be no recompense possible and no repentance adequate. 7 - There are other moral debts only a coraplete change of heart will persuade Germany to liquqidate. , But the type of new com mercial dictator enthroned in Berlin gives little evidence of any such change. ' :' v' 1 .'' V, , ! ' .' , Whether the ambitions of the capable Hugo Stinnes will prove less dangerous to a world peace than were those of the incapable Ilohenzollern is a question that only, rabid pro-Germans will answer, in the affirmative. All we can say for certain is that Hugo Stinnes will.be careful to see that those debts are paid the repudiation of which would jeopardize Germany's re storation to world power. I- i v Fpr Herr lingo Stinnes is the his competent direction! the Germany body politic has acquired cleaner limbs and a fairer-looking form, liut the new commer cial Germany of Stinnes and the old military Prussia of Luden dorff are still "sisters under the skin." The voice is the voice 1 of Jacob, but the hands are hands of Esau and Europe is still a blind Israel. ' "' ' r -"f ' ' ;:.' - ' In so far as Germany has late war crimes, save under, .

The wcrld has seen Lenine as a world menace because his gov ernment is dtlisorderly one. f Stinnes' invisible government runs smoothly, bo not muen nas oeen written aoout u.

' i Germany's new commercial dictator already has shown the executive ability of a Hoover, the commercial instinct of a Rockefeller and the expansive vision of a Cecil Rhodes. A writer. in the Los Angeles Times declares that he has gathered together under the control, of a ''Big Seven" nearly all the coal,' iron, steel, chemicals and transportation of the fatherland. He controls 1340 commercial companies. His cap italization of industry exceeds 6,000,000,000 marks. He employs directly nearly a million and a half of theSvorld's best-trained workers. And don't forget that in Germany everyone is work ing overtime. He has the 'say-so in the marketing of all the necessities of life in the old empire. . .:.. Besides, he is buying up influential newspapers throughout Germany and subsidizing journals in other countries. Needless to say, he is more interested in disseminating propaganda than in publishing news. . i . ; . :, , J , i t Moreover, the aim of Hugo Stinnes is to bring finally to a resurrected Germany commercial world control as compensation for the military world control that was once so nearly within her grasp. This is no duobt a laudable ambition. But the old blood still runs purple in the; old Prussian veins the steel still burns in the old German -heart. And when Hugo Stinnes has organized his new commercial empire, what next? - No doubt Japan is looking with alarm' on the white perll?

New York Evening Post. JAPAN AT THK WASHINGTON' CONFERENCE. While the Japanese response to President Harding's invitation to take part in a general disarma ment conference is a model of tact and courtesy, it lacks some thing of the sincerity of the re plies made by the other govern ments to whom invitations were extended. Japan is willing to take part in a conference held for the purpose of limiting naval construction, but she accepts with reservation the invitation to negotiate treaties affecting the sovereignty of states in the Pa cific area. ' Japan desires that there shall be no discussion of what she tsrms "accomplished facts." no reopening of Issues that she con siders already closed. The fol lowing paragraph in her note of acceptance is significant: "In order to secure the success of the conference the Japanese government deems it advisable that the agenda thereof should be arranged in accordance with the main ofject of the discussions as above defined, and that intro- '- ductions therein of problems such as are of sole concern to certain particular powers - or such matters ' as may be regarded accomplished facts should be scrupulously avoid- '; ; ed." . ' ' ; . , That reference to "accomplish ed facts" divulges the policy that the Japanese commissioners are likely to pursue at the confer ence. : The occupation of a large part of Siberia,! of Shantung and Yap are accomplished facts, like the practical suzerainty that Ja pan exercises over the govern ment of China. Japan's control of the cable and wireless service from China is already established and would not come within the problems to be discussed. In fact, Japan has so worded her acceptance that the various questions relating to the re-establishing of the "open door",poi- cy in tne 'ar East are an barred. Japan is will lag to'dlscuss future policies, but with ; the under standing that existing 'conditions shall continue. She would avoid giving any account of her stew ardship in the Far East In the war. She evidently is well sat isfied with the agreements reach ed with our government during the Wilson administration and does not desire that they should be disturbed. Her answer is a model of dip lomatic tact. Its adroitness, as well as the use or certain French phrases leads one to suspect that some of her present advisers are former French diplomats. That phrase ' "accomplished fact" is the English equivalent for the fait accompli, for which th9 French have a profound respec! in all international discussions It Is the policy of the status quo, providing that none of the de cisions of the conference shall be retroactive. Japanese diplomats are experts at concealing beneath a surface of simplicity and apparent can dor an oriental guile. Those who have Intimately known Japanese representatives at Washington say they are more adept at our game of poker than any American. They gaze at a pat hand with an inscrutability that snrpasses An-glo-6axon tfnderslandjlng. They are a peculiar mixture of honor and durpllcjty, never known to cheat, never violating the rules of the game, and yet displaying a mental dexterity that, to say the least, is bewildering. ! r, Japan'; looks upon the peace conference from a purely national point of view.' Her ideas of jus tice are fixed on an oriental stan dard. They regard, only what affects Japan, caring not a whit about the settlements of disputes where Japanese interests and prestige are not involved, show ing no desire to meddle in what does not immediately concern them. Japan took a personal interest in the World war, not as an ally of Great Kritain, but because it afforded an opportunity to drive Germany from the Orient. Sho would be equally interested in any international combination that would put an end to what she con siders the unwonted interference of the United States in Far East ern affairs. That is why she set so much store on the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance; for the Dritish government has dis played a remarkable complaisance toward Japanese aggression eo ! long as British interests were not menaced: At the Paris confer ence the Japanese commissioner never took part in any discussion with which Japanese aspirations or interests were not immediately connected. It can probably be eaid of Japan more truly than of any other country that she has no national friendships, but only national Interests. Those who have watched the development of the Japanese pol icy intimate that she would not hesitate to make an alliance with the soviet government of Russia if it would react favorably on Jap anese aspirations for increased empire. Washington Vanderlip reports that Lenin one morning said to him that he had received a communication from the Japan ese government that the Japanese would evacuate Vladivostok on condition that Russia would cede Kamchatka to Japan. If this be true (and the doubt arises from Lenin's notorious duplicity) Japan made that secret offer at a time when she was trusted to guard the allied Interests in the Vladi vostok district and to withdraw only when the allies regarded supervision no longer necessary. Japan now asks that her occupa tion Of Vladivostok and adjacent territory be looked upon as an accomplished fact. Perhaps one should not cen sure Japan too severely for adopt ing any means to protect her in terests from a possible combina tion of white peoples. 'Japanese liplomacy can no more mix with that of the Caucasian races thar Japanese blood. But we cannot wholly overlook her Intrigues o form a union of the yellow races and make the Pacific a yellow .cean. As one reflects on the im portance of the questions whose settlement will be attempted a the' Washington conference one appreciates how intimately the future of our own country Is in volved. Japan Is plainly In no mood to surrender any advantage that she gained by reason of the war. If she can block absolute settlement; it will be a great diplomatic vic tory. The recent utterances of Secretary Hughes indicate that he is fully awake to the situation: but i is Important that public opinion' In the country should be also on Its guard. The determin ation ot the British government to continue the construction of bat tleships of the post-Jutland type without waiting to learn the re sult of the conference is no wholly reassuring. Our govern ment will play an open hand, with its cards all exposed. While that policy is the only one that the American people will support, in meeting a wily adversary who plays with hidden cards and long sleeves we are at a certain disad vantage. WITH ALL EXPENSES PAHV Wanted: By hancsome young gentleman, a traveling young lady for evenings; will guarantee a good time with all expenses paid Phone. -: .". The above advertisement was submitted to The Statesman by an unknown individual who lack ed the necessary manliness to ap pear In person but hired a street urchin to present the advertise ment at this office. As with all questionable and. vicious advertising. The States man refuses to accept such a class ot business. The English language has to be drawn upon to the limit to give a suitable expression of con tempt for self styled "handsome'' young men who make efforts to attract girls and young women to the questionable "good times" implied by the request for evening 'traveling." "Handsome young gentlemen" who lose sight of the Ideals of clean living and good. citizenship enough to make such an anony mous proposal deserve a whole some lesson In manhood. 4 Taking into consideration the high standards and Intelligence of the modern young woman it is difficult to conceive that such a bid for hinted licenser would re ceive a Teply. Yet, the phrase " good time," hold many pitfalls. as is attested to by the records of divorce courts, juvenile courts, corrective institutions and honie for' wayward girls. "All expenses paid is a big proposition and one which the li&ertine and sensualist will sure ly have to reckon with at soru final day of reckoning. What earthly repayment can I.-? made by those who by the mer" promise of a "good time" lure young men and womeu away from decent standards to that road. broad and smooth, leading to ul timate destruction of character? To the young man and woman who is searching for the tarnishe-1 ewels of "a good time" the abqre advertisement should furnish ma terial for a mental and moral house cleaning. CAItE OF THE ROOF. We are advised that many busi ness meta in the east are dyeinfr and marcelling their hair. In the commercial world a man's age and appearance are determining fac tors in his career. If a man takes care of his looks and his hair doesn't get too white he can hang on indefinitely. So it is that many real captains of industry are j hunting up the hairdresser. Some of them are after a "permanent wave'' and some of them are hav ing their locks darkened to con ceal the ravages of time. Some years back if a man had a facial massage or a manicure be was thought to have a strain of sissy n the blood, but now it is all in the day's work. It comes under the head of taking care of one's self and is a virtue. There are lots of hard-headed business men who think they have as much right in a beauty shop as a wo man. To dress well and care for one's apearance is considered by many a duty that all owe to. so ciety. Even a millionaire can no longer afford to look like a tramp. When a woman can drop in on a hair-and-skin specialist and have ten years taken off iier age, mers man is apt to go and do likewise. Can you blame him? EDITORIALS OF THE PEOPLE lloLstievil; 1HU Again j Fairest City on Earth, Aug. 5. Editor Statesman: How about a swim? It's a good t'me .o quit work and wouldn't it be 'great fun to go down and take a dip in the old Willamette before supper? All right, come along. Well what do 'Ou think? It cost3 two bits to use the Willamette river at the nly place in Salem where you an have a good swim. And, do yon know, I hara two brothers and a father and a mother who .wduld like to along: but svodness me. that would cost as much as a trip to the ocean so I gues I'll itay home this evening, thank you! Isn't that the way it is? ' don't like to throw 25 cents into the Willamette river every time I want to cool off and neither do you. Our venerable c'ty fathers, our most highly esteemed CTier rians, our Rotary club, and the other progrepsive? city organiza tions have become so absorbed in caring for our honored tourists, and our lecturer visitors, and hav ing luncheons and excursions and a hundred and one other things that are a' sood time tor an older fellow that they 'have forgotten one of the extremist pleasures a young fellov has to have, to grow up normally. And while we're talking aout paying plants, and vichy plants, and rose plants, let's ail get to gether and talk about a swimming plant. Salem needs one. Ever sincerely, BOLSHEVIK BILL. 10B1 YIELD Willamette Valley Growers Report Big Crops, Though Rain Is Short , Many loganberry growers in the Willamette valley are report ing good yields of berries in spite "f the shortage of rain tall In June The record yield so far report ed to- the Oregon Growers asso ciation is that of Carl Aspinwall of Gervais. From eight acrfs Mr. Asninwall removed 43 tons of loganberries, an average of neai-ly- 5 Mi tons o berr'es to Jthe acn. Theodore Stolk. Emil Beier and several others report yields or nearly three ton to the acre. These larg? vlelds are gained by thorough cultivation and proper cire nf the vm rather ttian n account of the vines being on es pecially rich soli. The pveraA yld n thi fac tion, estimated before ticking started was two an one-halt tons per acre, but ?n the rpln:o of M. O. Evans, field manasrer or the association, it is doubtful it the actual yield was much over two tons per acre though figures are not yet available to show the exact acreage.
