IWHBRE AMERICA AND JAPAN
STAND.
Kuropcnn diplomacy Is worded to
conceal its real purpose. American
ulptomnts have gained a reputation
for tho "shlrt-slcevo" diplomacy
which consists in calling a spade u
spade.
Consequent!) a statement given
out bj nn official of our Stato Dc
paitmcnt may be accepted as an hon
est repiescntatlon.
Wo niny therefore gain much en
lightenment from nn Impersonal In
terview, given the Munsey sjndlcato
papers earlj in NoveniBcr, which out
lined what America and Japan wcro
drlvlng at In their diplomatic nego
tiations. The announcement ot the
International agreement published In
tho, II u 1 1 o 1 1 ii Wednesday Is what
this offlclal Indicated the Govern
ments woio leading up to. Head in
connection with tho text of the ngroo
incnt It throws much light on ths
meaning of the document. The In
terview Is given In full:
! "Thei'o never has been tho slight
est friction between the Governments
of Japin and the United States,
"When tho dispute aiose over the
San Fianclsci school Incident, tho
two Governments wcio woiklng In
harmony and accord, althpugh It can
not bo denied that feeling ran high
among (lie two peoples. It wasnJuo
to this that the positive belief exist'
cd In Europe nt that tlmo that war
would result. Paris and Iletlln were
'certain of It.
"Since then both this Government
and that of 'Japan have been earn
estly cooperating with each other to
removo tho Impression that enmity
had existed. Kvory step taken has
been with this end in view. Wo se
cured tho abolition of the offensive
school regulations In San Trnnclsco,
"Wo have nmendod tho Immigra
tion laws In a waj satisfactory to Ja
pan1, and at tho samo tlmo to meet
tho views of our own people h re
ducing tho number of Japanese la
borers entering this country. Each
monta's reports show n decrease ot
these immigrants. Wo have nego
tiated nn arbitration treaty between
tho two countries. Wo havo conclu
ded n treaty covering patent rights,
trademarks, and copyrWhts In China.
"And wo have sent our Fleet on a
friendly visit to Japan, where It wns
accorded a most Jiospltahlo reception.,
"Tho relations between tho two
Governments nro of tho most friend
ly character, and tho negotiations
now In progress nro for tho purpose
of maintaining and Increasing thnt
friendliness.
"I never believe It wlso to disclose
tho details of negotiations whllo
they nro still the subject of dlscns
slon between tho patties Interested.
Such premature publicity Is a'pt to
Involve too mnny explanations.
"Hut I enn nssuie jou that tlieie
Is nothing Involved In the pending
i negotiations that Is now, that Is not
already in black nnd white, that Is
not open to the student of papers re
girding our trlntlons wth Japan,

preservation of tho Integrity of Chjna

PRIMARY LAW IS OPPORTUNITY
FOR THB PEOPLE.
In his new bookm "Pilmary Elec
tions," Prof. C. K. Merrlnm ot tho
University of Chicago reaches tho
conclusion that the direct-primary
sjstcm Is to be regarded as nn oppor
tunity, not as a result. It signifies,
fie savs, the Opening of n broad nvc
nue of npprnach to democracy in par-
tj affairs, not the attainment ot tho
goal.
"It Is a common Aalerlcnn fallacy,
rajs' Prof. Mcrrlam, "to conclude tint
wher a constitutional amendment or
a statute or a charter Is secured tho
victory has been won nnd thnt tho
patriotic citizen may go hack to tho
neglected plow.
''It is easier to secure ten men to
fight desperately for good legislation
thaq one who will fight steadily nnd
consistently for efficient ndmlnlstrn
tlon! '
"Every student of politics knows,
however, that there Is no automatic
device thnt will secure smoothly run
ning self-government whllo the peo
ple sleep. Perpetual motion nnd au
tomatic democracy nro equnlly vls
lonnry and Impossible. Tho governor
gauges tho pressure of public Inter
est nnd rcgulntes his conduct accord

In commenting on Prof. Mcrrlnm's
conclusions tho Chicago Dally News
sajs tho truth cannot bo
too often
rclternted thnt devices like direct-
prlmnrj laws must bo utilized to tliu '
best ndvnntilge It they ,e to .nke'

In his hook, which Is u historj ot

points out thn growing tendency ot
the people since tho foundation ot

ly daj of the Republic nomination

Tho overthrow of "King Caucus" i

In recent jcars, as wo havo seen,
tho convention Is being displaced by
