AMERICA, ENGLAND AND JAPAN.
A, casual reader of the dispatch sent.frcm
Paris tjy-Thomas HrMillard will imbibe the
notion that something sinister is contained in thp
new Japanese-English treaty, now under way
of negotiation. We have no way of knowing
what is contained in that treaty, nor is it likely
that any pf its details will be made public prior
to its signature, if then. What may be accepted
as true is that, England undoubtedly will strive
to strengthen i)s position in the far. East as. far
as possible,, without in any way jeopardizing its
S relations ur.tl. tliA TTnif4 CfaAa T k. -

do nothing tha,t,is offensive to this country;
friendship with' the United States is far more
important o Great Britain thanxany advantage
that might flow from an alliance with Japan. '
y It "is well to keep in mind also the pro
t Chinese attitude of Mr. Millard. He is undoubt
edly "so well versed on Japanese" 'and Chinese
affairs, that he may be quoted as an authority,
" -Aut this does not relieve him in toto of a sus-
piciqn of bias. Shantung, of course, plays a con
siderably part in the'dfama, and American senti-
ment on this point is pretty well crystallized,
1 but a much more important element demands
, consideration Russia is mentioned, and this in
'. eludes eastern Siberia, with "an untold wealth of
c undeveloped resource. The Bee discussed some
weeks ago .the, possibility of Japan becoming
established in the region of Karaschatka, and
; tas becoming a neighbor of the United States,
' fi ally - being separated only by the narrow
4 stretch of Behring's strait. In this is more meat
than has been fully considered, and as a probKpi
for the future it greatly transcends the issue of
China.
J The Pacific is an important problenij and
properly belongs to the United , States and
apart, as, the dominant bartering nations. Our
traditions do not commit us' to control of any
of the ocean ways; we have struggledfrom the
first to maintain freedom of the seas. Just now
America is entering on an era of expansion of its
merchant marine; a greater proportion of our
exports were carried on American bottoms this1
year than since the Civil war. The incoming
administration is pledged to foster this industry
'and to extend it as fast and as far as possible.
British shippers.who have controlled the ocean
trade, for two generations, do not relish seeing
this domination pass froni them. Nor does Japan
look 'tmconcernedly on the growth of the Amer
ican merchant marine, especially on the Pacific,
where the flag of the Rising Sun has floated over
the bulk of the shipping. These facts will not
deter the United-States from following its des
tiny in this regard.
America has more at stake than is involved
, in the Hay doctrine of the open door for China.
England is quite-aware of the Japanese ' policy
ot Asia tor the Asiatics, Which is to extend from
Japan to Arabia, and. from the Indian ocean to
the Arctic. All this supports the belief that it
is more to the interest of the British empire for
the future as well as for the present to hold to
the friendship and trust of the United States
rather than to involve itself in any petty scheme
fo the benefit ofthe Japanese empire, which is
as close to bankruptcy as any of the centra!
European powers.

"Tino" and His Throne.
The "off again, 'on again" attitude of - the
allies aa, to Greece does not appear to greatly
worry King Constantine. He is more taken up
for the moment with the problem of getting a
cabinet to stand by him. His attitude towards
Franca and ' England may be justified by the
record of the past In fact, the world will be
astonished if the governments of the great pow-
. ers do not pocket the affront contained in the
restoration of the king by vote of his people.
That YJtej however, is what will disturb him.
When Venizelos fell, it was because of a com
bination of all the opposition; ajimilar eombk
nation may easily overturn any ministry that will
be formed by Constantine. Venizelos went out
of power without having finished the task be
fore him. Turkey still has a foothold in Europe,
and Constantinople, the goal of Grecian ambi-
'tio for centuries, remains under the sultan.
Thrace may- be held by Greece, but only at the
cxpensa ol ' constant watchfulness, a condition
that might'be greatly modified were the watch
on the Bosphorus. Then Smyrna is now held
subject to a plebiscite scheduled for 1924, and
right bac of Smyrna is Anatolia, to which the
aspirations of Tjno's" people turn just as they
did for Thrace.
These constitute the business before the king
just now, and his problem is how to carry on
the great undertaking without the help of all
his people, V considerable number of whom are 1
lukewarm if not actually hostile. j PerhapsV
Eleiitherios Venizelos may yet be asked to cut
short his vacation and come back to support a
hrone that does not seefn to have imbibed any
special vigor fronPthe popular vote that re
tored it. ' ' '
Harding's Ail-American Cabinet.
Far -more difficult than the annual task of
choosing the all-American foot ball team is
tfiat assumed by , the newspapers of picking the
Harding cabinet. Men never decline the athletic
honor, there are seldom players qualified for
two positions and, greatest difficulty of all, no
one has the final say, as Harding has in the
matter of his advisors, free to upseVall predict
tions.
Just now Charles Evans Hughes is held to
be the favorite for secretary of state, Senator A.
B. Fall for secretary of the interior, and Charles
G. Dawes for secretary ofhe treasury. These
men are of known ability. Of the three, Mr.
Dawes, although-a former comptroller of the
'currency, and during the world war a brigadier
general, has been least in the public eye. In
private nfe Mr. Dawes is president of the Cen
tral Trust company of Chicago. ' He is a lawygr,
and under President McKinley held the comp
trollership five years. '
In spite of this training as a banker and
financial expert, Mr. Dawes has friends who are
urging that he be .made secretary of war instead
of being placed in the treasury office. He has
long been a friend of General Pershing, whose
wishes undoubtedly ill carry weight with the
president-elect. At our entry into, trie war, Mr.
Dawes dropped his business affairs and went
to France as a major of engineers.. A wo montns
later, after serving on the administrative staff
of the', commandejfin-chief, he was appointed
chairman' of the general purchasing board of
the A. E. F. After having been promoted to
brigadieir general, he became a member of the
rallied purchasing board, and later served. as a
member of the allied liquidation, commission,
in the job of closing out the vwar establishment.
If one goes .back. in history he will. find that
practically from the end of the Civil war to the
day of Russell A. Alger, the position of secre
tary of war was held by civilian soldiers who
combined actual experience in the army with
business and political training. It is thus that
some observers make bold to predict that the
'wae office may be filled either with Mr. Dawes
or with' Willtaim W. Atterbury. vice president
of the Pennsylvania railroad, who gained his mil
itary experience in France as director of con
struction and operation of American military
railroads in France. These are the only two
civilians who attained the rank of brigadier gen
eral in the war, both received the distinguished
service medal andfwhat is perhaps most sig
nificant, both have recently been in conference
with Mr. Harding at Marion.
' Use the Navy Wireless.
On the ground tKat ease and freedom of
communication is important to international
understanding, the proposal of news associations
and newspapers to use the navy wireless system
for' transmitting messages to aiid from Europe.
is entitled to fulfillments The privately owned
cable and radio agencies are admittedly unable
to keep up with the press of events, and dis
patches are said to encounter frequent delays of
from eight to twenty-four hours, -
While this blockade of information exists, the
. . .. r... l
navy, wireless system, tuny as powenui . ami
efficient as the private agencies, built for the
emergencies of war, remains silent " except for
signals to ships at sea and official business.
Congress noWis asked to authorize the secretary
of the navy to accept news dispatches and thus
relieve the congestion. Such arrangement ap
pears practical not only as facilitating foreign in
tercourse, but as lightening the expenses of the,
navy wireless establishment. ' '
All censorships are bad, and the delay of
international news U equivalent in some respects
to a censorship inasmuch as through inadequate
information misunderstandings' and wrong con
tusions are given the advantage over authori
tative knowledge that comes later. Since the
war," America lias felt a keener interest in Euro
pean affairs, and where newspapers scarcely car
ried any news from overseas before, a great deal
of attention is beinu devoted to it now. It is
equally true abroad, as one could see by read
ing the London Times o other great papers
that maintain their o'w,n correspondents in Ne5T
York and Washington, and frequently print
more news from our national capital than do
many home papers. All this makes for a new
community of interest that should not be ham
pered by inadequate means of communication.

Did she then know that she had borne a God?
Ask of a world ot mothers; did they doubt
But that the wondrous thing; within their arms
Was quite divine and straight from heaven sent?

The sick were healed, the blind opened their

Mothers alone can know how-her heart swelled
Then in that sunless day when soldiers scourged
The dear loved flesh and nailed the kindly hands
And patient .feat upon a felon's cross
Mothers alone? can know how she held faith.
