Japan and the Harding Conference.
Reluctance on part of Japan to enter a con
ference wherein Pacific and Far Eastern ques
tions will be chief and disarmament a secondary
topic is not surprising nor unnatural. Long be
fore the war, when the kaiser was promoting
his "drang nach osten" policy, Japan was
equally engaged in formulating its "Asia for
the Asiatics" plans. Propaganda had been
spread from the Pacific to the Red Sea, and in
every land was established a center from which
radiated the doctrine. The effect of this has
not died out, nor is the purpose forgotten.
Japan is moving on the principle that underlies
the Monroe Doctrine as well as that which
denies to the yellow races recognition of full
equality with the white. ""
Siberia Iks at Japan's back door. It may
well be doubted if the Japanese are possessed
of the qualities needed to develop that virgin
empire They lack the essentials that stimulate
the pioneer. But they recall unpleasantly the
presence of Russia as a close neighbor, and they
do not view with equanimity the possibility of
a stronger nation taking hold of the job of
making Siberia what it ought to be, and what
it will be in time, one of the world's greatest
productive regions, sustaining the social ana in
dustrial activities of a strong and virile people.
Japan has nothing to dread from this, but would
prefer to keep the land for such exploitation as
is possible to its own genius.
Questions between the United States and
Japan have to do with the entrance of orientals
to our home land; with the integrity of China,
and with the island of Yap, any of all of which
is capable of easy settlement They have been
kept open because the governing faction in
Japan is not ready to admit the force of the
verdict at Paris, where Mr. Wilson declined to
concede racial equality. If these matters are

Therefore, Japan' would rather confer oyer
disarmament, but in all probability the presi
dent's agenda will remain as sent out What
ever decision is reached in Washington will have
effects involving the whole world, so little will
be lost if the Far Eastern problems serve as
the opening through which debate may proceed
to the greater matters that are pressing for settlement.
Combined Assault on the Treasury.
Demanding that rigid economy be practiced
in all governmental expenditures, that taxes be
lowered, and generally that relief be afforded
the public from the oppressive financial restric
tions occasioned by the war, we find the demo
cratic press generally clamoring that 11 sorts
of special assistance be afforded to private un
dertakings.. In all the history of the govern
ment such requests as are now being made can
not be paralleled. Manifestly these can not be
met; a point has been reached where private
capital must be employed to its utmost capac
ity, and beyond that patience must be exerted.
The alternative to this is to release a deluge of
"money," such as that which has engulfed
Europe, and which threatened the United
States, but was happily averted when the wild
orgy of extravagant expenditure and uncon
trolled speculation was halted by the action of
the Federal Reserve board. The Treasury de
partment has no magic means for meeting the
combined assault that is directed against it
Only as revenue can be obtained through taxa
tion can money be paid out If the tax burden
is to be lightened, then the expenditure must be
cut off. Relief granted one class or division of
industry can be accomplished only at the ex
pense of all others. Prosperity will not be
restored in such a way. And this rule ought to
be applied to everybody who is now aj Wash
ington, trying to get public money to carry on
private business.
' Probing the Farm Business.
It is to be hoped the congressional joint in
vestigation of agricultural conditions will go
more into details as its inquiry progresses. Thus
far testimony seems to have been of a general
1 nature, not getting down to brass tacks. Re
stricted credit, faulty distribution and decreased
foreign demand have been presented by wit
nesses as the three unfavorable influences of the
most importance. . (
CoL Smith W. Brookhart of Iowa testified
thai tbc rtners as a whole did not receive one
ollar in net revenue on an investment of $80,
JMOjOOO.OOO. He compared this with figures
showing an income of $20,000,000 upon $160,
000,000 of capital invested in other industries by
1 per cent of the people. The farmer, this
lowan declared, gets only 38 cents out of each
dollar paid by the consumer for his products and
of this amount he spends 35 cents for farm
labor. The cost of distribution, including freight,
he said, should be reduced to 20 cents for each
dollar's worth.
' If such conditions actually prevail in agri
culture, they must be remedied for the sake of
nutting the nation on a sound basis. But it is
I the business of the investigating committee to
; ascertain statistics on these points for itself,
and not to accept any estimate, presented to it
Charges of this kind must either be disproved
or proved. It is perfectly plain that something
is the matter with farming, the major industry
of the middle west, and the nation expects an
authoritative report from these officials on what
it is that is wrong.
A New Deal in World Affairs.
It was the world war which gave the British
dominions their new importance in the empire.
Their record of heroism, sacrifice and loyalty
established them as full partners with the mother
country, vastly to the benefit of world peace.
These newer lands, separated by thousands of
miles from Europe and its system of political
thought, must be given credit for a great deal
of the progress that has been made toward an
Irish settlement and limitation of armament
When the premiers of Canada, Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa came to London
to attend the imperial conference it was not to
get their orders, but to make the influence of the
dominions felt on national policy. General Smuts
of South Africa must be given credit for the
new movement toward Irish conciliation, and
Premier Meighen of Canada is admitted to have
forced the opening for an Anglo-American un
derstanding on armaments.
It is said that all the colonial administrators
were displeased by the way in which the British
premier had handled the Irish question, and
spoke their mind not only to Lloyd George, but
to the king as well. The visit of Smuts 'to Dub
lin and the calling of the conference between De
Valera, Craig and Lloyd George were a direct
result of the insistence of the dominions on peace
within the empire.
President Harding's invitation for an inter-
.! ff ' if . j .
national meeting in wasnmgion to aiscuss ana
plan a scaling down of the expenses of prepara
tions for war was made possible by the opposi
tion of Premier Meighen to a renewal of the
alliance between Japan and Great Britain.
Premier Hughes of Australia and Premier Smuts
were far from enthusiastic over the treaty. The
Japanese alliance would have been a formidable
obstacle to an understanding with America, and
it was not until this danger was averted that
President Harding was able to make an official
overture for an armament conference.
The new world thus has justified its reputa
tion for independence of thought, and has set up
new principles on which international under
standing may be reached. The London Times,
as if in recognition of this fact, has now urged
that neither Lloyd George nor Lord Curzon,
representatives of the old diplomacy, be sent to
the Washington conference, but that men less
imbued with the medieval tactics of European
statesmanship be chosen. While it is not the
place of Americans to suggest the representa
tives to be named by its associates, it must be
admitted that men of the type who outwitted
President Wilson on the league of nations
covenant might well be replaced by statesmen of
the new order.
Seven Points for the Negro
South-Wide Movement to Bring
Better Relations Between the Races.
Dealing With International Debts.
The request of Secretary Mellon for author
ity to fund the debts owed the United States by,
European countries is meeting with decided op
position from Senators LaFollette and Reid.
These have succeeded in bringing out the fact
that Lloyd, Georjge objected last fall to proceed
ing with negotiations for the funding of the
British debt to the United States, pending the
discussion of the entire question. The British
premier wrote to President Wilson:
You remember that Great Britain bor
rowed from the United States about half as
much as its total loans to the allies, and after
America's entrance into the war, it lent to the
allies almost exactly the same amount as it
borrowed from the United States. Accord
ingly, the British government has informed
the French srovernment that it will agree to
any equitable arrangement for the reduction
or cancellation oi inicrontcu uiucuuuumi
but that such arrangement must be one that
applies all around.
He added: "If some method can be found
for fundiner the British debt which does not
prejudice the larger question, the British gov
ernment will be glad to fall in with it." In
other words, the British government is not in
clined to evade- an obligation nor is it pressing
its debtors. What the secretary of the treasury
seeks is authority to transform an open account
into a funded debt Nothing has been said of
cancellation beyond that suggested by Mr.
Lloyd George, which will be far more expen
sive to England than to America. . s
It may be accepted that the external debt
of all countries will in time be discharged. Even
the bolshevists have signified a willingness to
pay what Russia owes to outsiders. Why should
there be any talk of repudiation, cancellation, or
similar forms of evasion? We confess utter in
ability to comprehend the motives that actuate
senators in seeking to prevent an approach to
the ultimate settlement of this war issue. -

A Clear Gain.
crime has decreased since the
federal prohibition. Figures on
in arrests in several cities for
merly notoriously wet, as issued by the public
morals board of the Methodist Episcopal
church, can not be questioned. There is not a
city in the land that is not cleaner, happier and
more orderly since the saloons were closed.
The fact that leaks .have been sprung and
that the laws against the sale of alcohol are
frequently violated can not be used as an argu
ment against prohibition. There is no law on
the books that is not broken. No one has ever
suggested wiping out the laws against robbery
because of the wave of hold-ups, and no one can
logically stand for repudiation of the Eighteenth
amendment or the measures under it because of
bootlegging and moonshine.
The Elks, meeting in Los Angeles, have de
cided to hold their next convention in Atlantic
City, which might be said to represent going
from one extreme to another.
That southern farmer who plowed up $14,000
which was buried 100 years ago has the business
instinct he expresses regret that he could not
acquire the interest as well.

intellectual poverty exists in America perhaps

(Edwin Mima, in The Continent.)
About 100 prominent white and negro lead
ers, men and women, met at Louisville during
the summer. They engaged in a frank discus
sion of all the elements that make the relation
ship between the races delicate and sometimes
acute, and outlined plans to ameliorate condi
tions that prevail in certain communities. Those
who composed this conference were representa
tives of all State departments most vitally con
cerned and of local inter-racial committees or
ganized during the previous six months. The
negroes seemed to have waited for just such a
meeting to let loose their pent-up ideas and
feelings. .They had at their tongues' end many
cases of injustice and of inequality of privilege
and opportunity. The white men liistened calmy.
They laughed at the inevitable humor of some
of the spielers, applauded their expressions of
confidence in the white race, and heard with
patience remarks that sometimes looked in the
direction of radical action. The negroes listened
too. They eagerly received any evidence of the
white leaders' determination to do certain con
crete things in the way of economic justice or
educational opportunity, and they responded
sympathetically to some of the frank expressions
of the part that they must have in any real inter
racial co-operation. In the main the two groups
kept well in mind the points which each needed
to emphasize; and all of them were actuated by
a desire to reform conditions that they rec
ognized as serious and even critical. There was
a universal feeling that the meeting was one of
the most significant ever held in Kentucky.
This meeting was only one of a series of
State conferences that have been held in the past
few months in Atlanta. Nashville. Montgomery.
Jackson, Columbia, Richmond, Little Rock and
Alexandria (Lousiana.) The number and the
proportion of whites and blacks in these gath
erings have varied, but trie results have been the
same full and frank discussion, appointment of
state-wide joint committees to carry out the pro
gram adopted and a new spirit of co-operation
and confidence.
Southern demagogues, who have fattened on
passion and prejudice, would be taken aback if
they knew to what an extent the silent quiet
forces of southern life have been working.
Radical leaders of the negro race, who likewise
have grown fat on prejudice and passion, have
no conception of the large number of southern
negroes who have taken fresh hope as they have
seen evidences of a growing desire on the part
of southern white men to take them into council
in all matters that relate to the common welfare.
All this work has not developed spontane
ously. It has been under the general supervison
of a south-wide central committee with head
quarters in Atlanta. Soon after the signing of
the armistice a small group of representative,
southerners, realizing the relationship of the races
would doubtless be strained by reason of the re
turn of the negro soldiers and the participation
of the masses of the negroes in the patriotic
campaigns and drives of the war, concluded that
the delicate situation could be met only by in
telligent and constructive plans. A representa
tive citizen or two from each of the southern
states and three or four other men who have
had large experience in managing funds for negro
education were called into conference
Gradually other prominent leaders have been
added, until now there are representatives of
every denomination, every profession, almost
every shade of opinion. , From the first these
leaders have called into consulation the wisest
negro leaders, eight of whom now are members
of the central committee. These men have
brought to the meetings of the committee data
from their localities and have helped formulate a
program of action as an ideal towards which to
work. Every one who is a Southerner realized
that tact, patience and courage would be needed.
The committee was fortunate in having as chair
man, John J. Eagan, a leading businiess man
of Atlanta. The program on which they decided
called: -
First, for justice in the courts and espe
cially opposition to lynching under any circum
stances; second, economic justice; third, ade
quate educational facilities; fourth, improved
living and-sanitary conditions; fifth, recrea
tional advantages; sixth, better traveling facili
ties: seventh, welcoming the returning colored
soldiers. '
It was fully realized this program would not
suit conservative the prejudiced southerners, but
these leaders felt that it was thoroughly in line
with the best southern tradition and that they had
back of them in their insistence' on these funda
mental demands the spirit of the great southerners
of past and present. They realized this program
would not satisfy the extreme negro who is
bitter, impatient and inclined to indulge in griev
ances and complains because the race has not
within 50 years achieved all the rights and
privileges of the most advanced races. It does
not reier to two points which would be insisted
upon by even conservative negro leaders
abolition of the "Jim Crow law" and the right of
suffrage. ' It was felt, however, that much might
be lost if too advanced a position were taken
and that even this limited program might be
the working basis of all who are patiently work
ing toward a gradual and substantial improve
ment in the relationship between races and in
the consequent economic, social and moral con
dition of the negro.,
More important than any item in this pro
gram, however, is the fundamental idea of the
whole movement that this delicate problem can
be met only by conferences between those who
are involved, conferences that shall not be called
after an emersency has arisen, but that shall be
held constantly and periodically. Everything
depends on the two races coming together in a
sympathetic relationship.
Those who have been most vitally concerned
with the promotion of this program suffer from
no illusions. They realize great difficulties re
main to be overcome. They realize it is no easy
task to overcome the passion and prejudice of
generations. They know that in the long run
the education of the coming generation of both
races is the only basis of permanent progress
But from what they already have seen, from
what they know of things that have happened
in the past 12 months, they look with con
fidence to the future. They do not see any hard
and fast solution of this intricate problem; they
are trying only to take the next step in the
long progress towards the better day. In all
their clans thev are animated bv the faith once
expressed by Henry Grady: "Not in passion but
in reason, not in narrowness but in breadth, we
may solve this problem in calmness and in truth
and, lifting its shadows, let perpetual sunshine
pour down on two races walking together in
peace and contentment"

CONCERNING WEAK HEARTS.
Two facts are coming to be mat
ters of general Information. One
is that heart disease causes more
deaths than consumption; in fact, in
some statistical years it leads the list
of diseases. The other is that most
cases or heart disease start In child
hood. As generally happens, the public
became alarmed when this little in
formation came into its possession.
Each mother or father remembered
that her child had had growing
pains, or scarlet fever, or measles, or
tonsillitis, or rheumatism, and these
were troubles which crippled the
hearts of children. Some sent for
the old family standby, and he
thumped away and listened with his
stethoscope and confirmed our fears
that case of severe illness when
Mary or Billy was a youngster had
left a heart leak as a perpetual re
minder. So far there is no quarrel
with the facts, for these were solid
facts.
Next many Jumped to the conclu
sion that Mary and Billy, having
crippled hearts, should not be al
lowed to emulate M. Georges Car
pentier and Jump rope nor play base
ball nor play any of the hard, driv
ing games that children like to play.
When Billy found out that he had
to stand one side and look on It
threatened to change him mentally
and socially, to take all the pep out
of him, to ruin his life ultimately, as
it ruined his play presently.
If it is at all safe Billy and Mary
should be allowed to play like other
children. It is bad to have too many
don'ts and can'ts and fears in the
ofhng of a child's mind.
The question arose, could not Billy
and Mary play like other children?
In fact, if they were stimulated to
build up good muscles would they
not incidentally build up good heart
muscles able to overcome the handi
cap of the leak?
To settle the question of how
much severe exercise children with
heart leaks could stand, Dr. May
Wilson tried out a sroup of such
children as compared with another
group of children without heart
leaks. They were put to swinging
fairly heavy Iron dumb bells (two to
10 pounds), climbing stairs 30 feet
high in 40 seconds, jumping rope 100
turns in 100 seconds, and setting up
exercises.
It was found that the children
with heart leaks were no more wind
ed and had no faster pulses and did
not breathe faster than the other
children did.
It seems plain that children with
heart leaks can play with and like
ether children without harming
themselves. If they are examined
about once a year and will follow
the general line of conduct laid
down for the ensuing year at the
time of examination there is a good
chance that they will come to middle
life in better condition as respects
heart efflceney than ' tho average
man. Or this is a better way to put
it: Among this group there will be
no more persons with heart asthma,
dropsy, or other evidences of heart
breakdown than in an average group
of people of the same age. j

Letter Carriers' Car Fare.
' Omaha, July 13. To the Editor
of The .Bee: Tha street car fare
muddle. I am a humble letter car
rier. I get up at 5 a. m. every morn-
j in sr.. I walk on an average of IS
miles per day. I receive $1,400 a
year minus pension dues, amount
; ing to about $1.16 per month. I am
I out In all kinds of weather. Until
recently the letter carriers made up
a purse of $2-2.5 each every three
months for the street car company
to enable them to ride free. But
now either through mismanagement
or over-management the street car
company has refused to accept the
carriers' donation, thinking perhaps
it could get back some of Its dwin
dling (?) dividends oft of the letter
carriers.
I am sure the majority or tho car
riers do not object to paying car
fare to and from work, but we do
find it hard to climb five or six
blocks with a heavy pack of mall.
The postmaster has ruled that those
whose routes are further than seven
blocks from the postofBce would be
furnished with car fare. I have
been fully trained in all of the army
training, but my work now beats
anything we ever had in the army.
You will not find a spendthrift
among any of the letter carriers. If
President Harding wants a nation of
home-owners how can we become
such unless wo are provided with
the means. In a land uf plenty
thcro should bo no Pharoali
slaves. I am speaking for others,
also. There Is a class of close-fisted
business men who do everything ex
cept commit murder, to get the
money, and sometimes they commit
murder indirectly. Where is there
any charity among such?
The street car company cannot
disprove that they have two sets of
books, two sets of figures, or that
they are absolutely on the square
about this street car fare raise. "By
their fruits ye shall know them."
Perhaps I have made this too em
phatic; it was said once, "Ask and
ye shall receive." I think I have
done my part.
