“DOLLAR DIPLOMACY” AND
FAIR PLAY.
The announcement llial Presi_
dent Wilson’s foreign policy is
to be developed along lines of
bene 111 to American trade lias set
the old line Republican press
shouting that the president lias
adopted the “Dollar Diplomacy”
idea which was so "everely erili
cised by the Democrats in the
last national campaign. "Dol
lar Diplomacy,” says the Port
land Oregonian, 'was only an
other phrase coined fo rthe pur
pose of bringing about Democrat
ic. triumph. Triumphant Dem
ocracy now takes up the policy
it had condemned.”
These Newspapers {and other
political opponents of President
Wilson make the mistake, .inten
tionally or otherwise, of failing
to recognize; the difference be
tween the president's policy of
encouraging foreign trade,
through consular agencies, for
the bene tit of the whole people
and the old "Dollar Diplomacy”
system of using Lhe diplomatic
and consular agencies for the
purpose of underwriting enter
prises for Lhe benefit and profit
of particular groups and inter
ests.
This difference is strikingly il
lustrated in the changed attitude
in the dealings between this
country and china. W hen Pres
ident W'ilson assumed the duties
of his office he found the Slate
department practically commit
ted to a sextuple loan proposi
tion for China, this country join
ing in Lhe plan proposed by hank
ers here and abroad to share in
the loan. 1L was made plain
that the foreign powers wetre
making lhe:r recognition of the
new republic •onditional on Chi
na's acceptance of the very rig
orous and onerous provisions of
lhe loan. President W'ilson very
promptly broke away from this
plan, as .Is adoption would hi- ‘
made il i ccssary for the Hun
eil Status, Jirough its Department
el' State, practically to underwrite
the deal in which the hanking
house of J. I*. Morgan & Co., the
National City hank and others
proposed to enter. That was
“Dollar Diplomacy," pure and
simple.
President Wilson has made it.
plain that there will be no diplo
matic underwriting during his
administration.
In recent instructions sent to
diplomatic representatives it was
made plain that the United States
would not stand sponsor before
other governments for American
enterprises, and that it would not
support some individuals lo the
detriment of others. The “open
door” in China, in South Amer
ica and in every field of foreign
trade is taken to mean there is
no injustice. International pol
itics is not to play a part in
American business extensions
with the approval of the admin
istration. fair play will be in
sisted on where there seems to
be danger of loss being incurred
by American commerce because
of the cupidity nr duplicity of
oilier interests.—Ex.
THE ARMOR PLATE COMBINE.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels
has-declared war against the
armor plate combine. The three
big concerns in this country that
make armor plate all make the
same bids on government work
and the government has to pay
such a fancy ligure for its armor
plate work on battleships that
Secretary Daniels believes that
Uncle Sam could make his own
armor plate for battleships and
effect a big saving.
France, Russia and Japan are
making Iheir own armor plate,
the 'secretary /recites, jbnt does
not give figures as to its cost in
different countries. Still, it must
i
be remembered that if this gov
ernment were to engage in the
business no profit would have to
J)e made, as in the ease of the
corporations;
The secretary'need not go into
the business* of making armor
I*late on a big scale. We predict
that as soon as the government
undertakes to do any portion of
this work, there wdl he a prompt
and decided cut in the prices now
demanded by the Carnegie, Mid
val and Bethlehem armor plate
factories.—Ex.
SURGEON 13LUE AND SLIT
SKIRTS.
Surgeon General Mine of the
Public Health service wants the
girls to sew up the slit skirls be
fore the weather gets cold. If
they do not, he is fearful that we
will have an epidemic of pneu
monia and other pulmonary
troubles.
As alternative l)r. Blue1 ob
serves that ‘if the girls insist
on wearing slit skirts this win
ter they must prepare for it.
They ought to wear thjck woolen
stockings as their grandmothers
did and sensible boots. Nearly
all the girls who affect slit skirts
wear the thinnest kind of silk
stockings and extremely low slip
pers. It seems to me they will
catch their death of cold.”
This alternative may contain
a suggestion for the cure of the
slit skirt habit. If the girls can
be coaxed or compelled to wear
“thick woolen stockings, as their
grandmothers did, and sensible
boots,” not many of them would
care or dare to reveal the fact,
via the slit skirt.—Kx.
