That the diplomatic policy of the | United States, under the Taft admin- istration, is conducted by Wall Street, and in the interests of Wall Street, is the plain meaning given yester- day in the leading editorial of Sena-| tor La Follette’s weekly magazine. | The senator declares that “our navy | secrets have been traded for contracts | with the Schwab ship building com- pany” and that the Taft-Knox “dol- lar diplomacy is more interested in Morgan than in Japanese exclusion at home.” concessions in Manchuria “The Taft-Knox ‘dollar diplomacy’ has scored again,” writes Senator La | Fallette. “This time it is a tmde‘i with Japan. “The United States has given up its treaty right to exclude Japanese la- borers, leaving in its place a Gentle- | man’s agreement which with the treaty provision is nothing. “In return, if there is any consid- | eration given in time, then, it must ! be found in the likelihood that cer- tain New York bankers may be per- mitted to participate in concessions for the construction of railways in Manchuria. “The ‘dollar diplomacy’ is more interested in Morgan conces- sions in Manchuria than in Japanese exclusions at home. “The ‘dollar diplomacy’ has traded our navy's secrets for contracts for the Schwab ship building company. “The ‘dollar diplomacy’ is meddling in Turkey in an effort to get some railroad financiers. “What next? Is there anything more; anything which Mr. Knox and President Taft will not give to for- concession for American eign nations in exchange for ‘busi- ness’ desired by their friends in Wall Street?” BEING POLITE TO MURDERERS.

He can, if he is par- tial to firearms, designate that he be shot at sunrise.
