Ever since John Hay promulgated the doctrine of the ‘“open door” in China other powers have subscribed to it “in principle.” But each power has held itself more or less free to interpret the doctrine for itself, and the openness of the door has varied from wide open to only slightly ajar. Like the right of “self-determination, it has been honored as often in the breach as in observance. ‘The resolution agreed to yesterday by the far eastern-committed of the arms conference, even with the vital article 4 eliminated, is a long step forward in giving definiteness to the doctrine, and the provision that there shall be established in China a board of reference centralizes interpretation instead of leaving it to each interested power. It {8 a very great gain, in that it will serve to protect China from future exploitation, but much remains 1o be done before the ‘far eastern question is settled and China removed as a cause of probable discord. Past ‘wrongs against China must be righted as well as future ones prevented. It may be that a tactical error was committed by making article 4, which ‘was the creation of Mr. Balfour, a part of the Hughes resolution. Article 4. providing for the submission of ex- isting concessions to the board of ref- erence, might logically have been left @as a next step in"an orderly progress toward full achievement. and such, apparently, was Mr. Hughes' plan. Desirable and necessary as are the provisions of article 4, they had to be sacrificed for the time being in order that progress might be made; but they have not been permanently put aside. Eventually the matter of past “‘grabs” at the expense of China must come before the conference, and the inter- ested powers will have to agree to a progdure looking to substantial jus- tice or explain to the world the rea- sons why they will not. The American government and its representatives in the arms conference have wet out to remove the causes of possible conflict in the Pacific. The entire program of naval curtailment and other agreements is predicated upon tae assumption that such causes of conflict will be removed, and failure to remove them is not going to result from lack of tenacity of purpose. The delegates of other powers might as well make up their minds that sooner or later they wiil-have: to meet this issue of past concessions in China and face it squarely. The Conferring Spirit. The conference of the republican senators held last night was well at- tended, and those present showed a lively interest im the subjects pre- sented. The conferring spirit is abroad and uppermost everywhere. It grows out of the necessities. In big matters and little, in Europe and in America, there is 86 much in‘flax and so many dif- ferent opinions are entertained about ‘what should be done, men in author- ity charged with public. duty must ~‘econfer in order to carry on. Divisions must be healed and concerts of action drranged. In our affairs the President has set _Ahe example—shown the way. He pos- @esses the conferring nature—that of -respect for the opinions of others. He grants the right of opinion and is willing to hear what the other fellows have to say. And now that conferences have be- gun on Capitol Hill we may probably “expect them at intervals—maybe close together—while Congress sits. There ‘will be many occasions for them, the cards being erowded and all the meas- ures important. At bottom the matter is plain and . #imple, though carrying it out will by no means be easy. The party in con- trol must do business. It has under- taken a huge task. But it did so with it® eyes open, and upon very definite ‘pledges. The time for the redemption of those pledges is here, and neither postponement nor evasion is possible. Conferences mean action, and all action taken should be as mnearly unsnimous es poesible. And the sooner action is taken the longer time new legislation will have for justify- ing itself before next election day, now some ten months away. « The “dirt” farmer is neturally gnx- fous to get as close as possible to what the old-time miners described as ‘‘pay dirt.”” - - ——ce [} Sport and Education. President Lowell of Harvard Uni- ‘wersity raises & question that will be discussed with keen interest through- out the country by educators and by Jovers of sport and advocates of physical culture as part of the edu- cational process. He asks that facul- ties, administrators and governing bodies consider afresh the proper rlace of public intercollegiate athletic contests in the scheme of education. He notes that these contests have sained a great vogue and arouse an {ntense public interest. As & stimu- lsnt to proper oollegiate - physical training, however, the Harvard heed expressed doubt. He merely asks if _ 4t {s necessary to conduct protracted ! intercollegiate campaigns in order to “Xeep alive at each institutton the in- terest in sports which induces interest in physical training. In brief, Dr. Lowell's question is ‘whether the public exhibitions or con- tests between the colleges have not become an object instead of & means to the ¢nd of evoking and maintaining student interest in"sport and athletics. He points to the single annual boat iace between Oxford and Cambridge and the annual cricket match be- tween the same two schools as illus- trations. Just as keen. rivalry is caused by these two events as though there were twenty. And in the under- graduate body in both universities there i8 just as sharp competition for piaces in the boats and on the teams ar though the interuniversity contests were strung out over a period of ‘weeks. The average school, college or uni- versity group, base ball, foot bsll or crew must keep in training for at least two months, and in actual com- petition for from a month to six weeks. Once a week at least there is a game. It follows that, for example, for the foot ball squad in the autumn there is a protracted diversion of in- terest and attention from scholastic work, practically a third of the entire educational working season. This hap- pens twice & year, though not neces- sarily with the same individuals, as base ball succeeds foot ball in the spring. - Virtually ‘the whole student body is affected, regardless of partici- pation. These are the questions Dr. Lowell ralses, that will be vigorously debated, perhaps without conclusion and per- haps without profit. But it is signifi- cant that the head of the oldest ‘Amer- ican university asks them and invites to them the attention. of his fellow educators plainly in the hope of se- curing a change for the benefit of the educational processes. The Senate and the Budget. In working out the new budget sys- tem a peculiar condition has been developed in Congress to which Sena- tor Warren has called attention, with a resolution to correct what he be- lieves to be @ fault in the Senate organization. Before the budget bill became a law the House, in anticipa- tion, ordered the concentration of all appropriation bills under one commit- tee. It handled the bills in that way before the budget system wae finally adopted and put into working shape, and so when that happened it was ready with its committee organization. ‘The Senate, however, had retained the rule distributing certain bills among other committees—that for the Navy to the naval affairs committee, that for the Army to the military affairs committee, that for the postal service to the post office and post roads com- mittee and that for the Department of Agriculture to the committee on agri- culture and forestry. Now, with the bills coming over from the House under the budget sys- tem, rearranged upon the new plan, it turns out that the appropriations committee of the Senate will have no jurisdiction over these same four bills. But it so happeng, that three of them will be materially enlarged in the re- grouping of items and at the expense of the bills which will continue to be considered by the appropriations com- mittee. Thus the War Department bill will take over. the entire river and harbor bill, much from the legislative and a great deal from the sundry civil. ‘The post office bill will take over a large section of the legislative bill and the same with the Navy bill. Thus the net effect will be to lessen the juris- diction of the appropriations commit- tee of the Senaté, while the House has concentrated its supervisory work in one committee. To remedy this condition Senator Warren has presented a resolution giving the appropriations committee jurisdiction over all the money bills. It may be impossible to act upon this proposal in time to affect the work of the present session, but it should be considered thoroughly, and, judging from the admirable way in which the budget plan is working out in the House in point of thoroughness of con- sideration and speed of action, the adoption of this rule will probably be demanded for the sake of & more efficient administration of the new law. ‘Unquestionably, as Senator Warren pointed out to the Senate, the scatter- ing of the bills among various com- mittees has led to extravagance and lack of co-ordination. While the full Senate is the final judge of all items, it cannot be expected to exercise the same comprehensive scrutiny, not merely over single bills, but the whole group of bills, as would'one committee especially experienced in handling these measures. ‘ The weather man used to be criti- cised for the unreliabllity of “his an- nouncements. Now he is unkindly mentioned because they come true. The moral is that no effort to serve ‘the public. interest can possibly be free from censorious comment. i Mexico's elimination of passport re- quirements for United States citizens shows a desire to seem more like a neighbor and less like a foreign coun- try. Among the junk left over from the war may be noted ‘a considerable amount of propagands machinery. i The Port Drive. A bill just approved by the House District committee provides $5,000 for a survey for & park connecting all the old forts around Washington and looks to the purchase through con- demnation of all the fort sites not now owned by the government. This js & familiar project, long pending :and often urged by civic bodies and by of- ficials. It, like other park plans, can- not be indefinitely postponed. . The lands in question are in steadily in- creasing danger of absorption in the city’s growth. Some of the forts have. been preserved only through private enterprise and pdblic spirit. Some of them are now very nearly obliterated. All of them, if. thken now, could be re- stored by careful treatment to the semblance of their early appearance. ‘This is of more consequence than the actual driveway itself, though the con- necting links should be laid out and secured as soon as possible. Suburban streets are being cut from time to time in a way to cross the lines.of the m}ect‘ed boulevard, and ft is im- portant to lay down this plan spe- cifically at once in order to prevent much expense later in cutting a broad street through improveménts. The value of & fort drive as a scenic tions followed the hills outside of the city, and a driveway linking them up ‘would present the most striking series. of views of Washington conceivable. ‘This boulevard would also link togeth- er the Rock Creek and Anacostia parks and would open an ares. east of the Anacostia which is of exceptional attractiveness and is, for lack of ac- cess, not now properly known to wvisitors, or even to Washingtonians. 80 let this bill go through to passage in both houses quickly. The project it proposes is not coetly, and the ‘merits of the plan are so ohvious that no congressional economist can prop- erly object on the score of expense. 01d Ideas and New. The republicans of New York are preparing for this year's state cam- paign, Wwith promises “wake snakes.” The situation is pusalng. In 1920 the state went overwhelmingly repub- lican, even the metropolis, ordinarily a democratic stronghold, swinging into line. Last November the metropolis swung back again and gave the demo- cratic candidate for mayor a majority approaching half a million. What is the answer? And what may be ex- pected next November, when a full state ticket and a United States sena- tor are to be elected? This is taken from a resolution the National Republican Club of the metropolis has now under considera- tion: The old ideas of party organisation out of date; to the victor belongs 'the spolls is an anachronism. and the people will be satisfied no longer with leadership seeking mere partisan ad- vantage. The party of the future must stand or fall on the test of serv- feature -of the capital is not té be questioned. This chain of fortifica- to “THE ' EVENING ST, ice to the people. With the extension of education has come the power to think along lines of governmental action as it affects individual welfare. And yet the unprecedented repub- lican triumph of 1920 was achieved under “the old ideas of party organi- zation” and ‘under party direction, while the same is true of last year's unprecedented democratic triumph. Then take this from the same reso- lution: Organisations should not exist to hl\‘l:llll lob'l for pl:lts :n:cl:::r;. ;“l; membe 0 c :l‘firetyto serve th le. Lead: which understands sort of service is what we need. must be developed. All other so- called leaderships are false and inef- fectual and must be eliminated. But the hope of the democracy in the Empire state this year is Tam- many Hall, and Tammany flourishes on—has its roots in—the spoils of office. There has been no change in that organization. Leadership there which cuts out securing “jobs for party members —ewhich did not bear that duty firmly in ‘mind—would soon be acrapped. —— The fictitious “Mme.

It is rapidly gain- ing that distinction in the opinion of prominent educators, and not many Years are expected to elapse before all"other educational centers will be bowing to the National Capital. Especially true is Washington fast becoming the center of education of the ‘world in advanced and graduate study. Besides ity universities of es- tablished renown and approximately twoscore of private schpols of equally high standing, which afnually attract thousands of out-of-town students to Jts gates, Washington undoubtedly has the most excellent laboratories in America. The Congressional Li- brary, which has scarcely a peer in Europe and no equal in America, is well supplemented by the depar mental libraries and the public li- brary; and all these resources by con. gressional enactments are open with certain necessary restrictions to all students. * %k % In no other city can so many famous specialists be found as here. Labora- torles, libraries and speclalists make a university. The strategetic location of Washington as a great center of learning was recognized even by the founders of the republic. The political, economic, - religious, scientific and social life of the nation is centered in Washington, making it the spiritual head of the nation and the most strategetic educational cen- ter of the world. Dr. J. Jameson, director of the orical research of itution, has sug- gested that every graduate student in American history should be re- uired to spend at least six months A the archives in Washington before receiving his doctorate. The same may be said with equal force of prac- tically every fleld of investigation. * ¥ % The excellence of Washington's in- stitutions of learning is well known throughout the United States and in other countries. This knowledge probably accounts for the large num- ber of students from forelgn lands In the city’s schools. John J. Tigert, federal commissioner of ‘education, Is one of the educators who believes that Washington some day will be the center of learning of the world. : “Washington should be. and prob- ably will be. the educational center of the world,” sald Commissioner Ti- gert. “However, it has not made the same strides in that direction as in other _ directions, particularly its architectural beauty “Some of the ins continued, ‘“are ~exceptionally high class. Some are not so good. The latter are very lax in granting de- grees and diplomas. and conditions like this must be eliminated before the city becomes the greatest edu- cational center in the world." * ¥ * ¥ Virtually every subject dfmnndbdl by students of today can be found in the curricula of Washington's educa- tional institutions. In addition to the regular academic courses a perusal of the subjects offered ranges from the more or less novel foreign service to taw for women. . Such institutions as George Wash- Ington, Georgetown, Catholic and Howard universitiex are known the world over. In their student bodies utions here,” he ; "WASHINGTON," D Washington Rapidly Becoming World’s Educational Center N ., THURSDAY, is represented practically every na- tion in the world, Catholic University, in additien to enjoying the distinction of being the center of education for Cathelio lay- men . {n America, also has sssociated with it the houses of study of various religlous _orders, . including’ rticy- larly the Dominicans, the Marists and a number of others. At these houses of study the rell- glous orders from &il over the United States send their members for ad- vanced courses in various sclences, and the ground about the university is constantly seeing new buildings for additional orders go up. * ok ox X Georgetown’s already high reputa- tion a leading institution of learn- ing has been enhanced greatly since the establishment of its school of for- eign service. This college of the uni- versity, with ap enrollment of about 500 students, enjoys a nitional repu- tation for instruction in the practi: calities of export trade and diplomatic and consg®ur service. Rev. W. Coleman Neville, dean of Georgetown Unlversity, {8 the regent of the school; Dr. Roy 8. McElwee, former chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, and who has had wide experience in Europe and on other continents in the export and diplomatic work, is the dean. Under the leadership of such men as Presi- dent Farrall of the United States Steel Corporation, W. S. Culbertson of the tariff commission and many other men prominent in official and educa- tional life, the school has made marked progress. L Among ‘American cities, Wasaington stands unique in including in its popu- Iation thousands of young people ‘well prepared and anxlous to undertake col- legiate and professional courses, having fairly uniform office hours and willing to devoto lelgure to ‘study. The George Washington University recogmized the needs of these young people, and to meet these needs it provides a system of double instruction. The university in this way ministers to large groups, of young people earning their living by day and obtaining a higher oducation in the evening. Many of these students are government em- ployes, and the service rendered taem is iikwise rendered the government -in making its servants more efficient through better training. A law school and a medical school with practically perfect records before state examining boards, a school or pharmacy offering an admirably weil balance course in liberal arts, education, engineering, architecture, chemistry and physice—such is the university's gift to the youth of tae nation. * ok % By right of location, spirit of progres- siveness and its advanced standing Howard University is truly designated as “the national university for the edu- cation of colored youth.” The latest in- novation undertaken by this institution of learning is a plan looking to the establishment of & school of public health and hygiene. In taking this ad- vanced step the university is keeping pace wita the few great American uni- vereities which have instituted such de- partments. Just as all Americans are awakening to the need of physicians and nurses being truined in’ sanitary science, the colored American is also taking his health problem seriously and desires to make his contribution to national health. More colored doctors and nurses must be trained, and it is to meet this need taat Howard University has set out to do a work of national scope. EDITORIAL DIGEST The Genoa Conference. The warning note beneath “the hum of printing presses turning out make-believe money” in Europe has at last been heeded. The plan for a general European economic con- ference to be held in Genoa in March is a welcome indication to the Bal- timore News (independent) that Europe has qome to realize that “she is not a &ollection of unrelated enti- ties, but & set of interlocking parts in an economic machine, none of which will function properly if the others have had their bearings burned away.” Such a conference, including as it will both Germany and Rus: is regarded by the Ithaca Jou: News (independent) as “the most im- portant step toward the economic re- organization and reconstruction of Europe that has been taken since the armistice.” ‘And because, as The Star recently declared, it will be “of vital concern to the American people,” and the consequences, “whether its success be great or small, will.lead to every American hearthstone and for a generation will profoundly af- fect the well-being of this country,” there is a demand In the press that the United States shall not only par- ticipate, but shall send the ablest possible representatives, not, as an bserver,” but as a leader. ~"Up to now political conditions have made such"a gathering “impracticable if not impossible,” but~the present economic situation is “so desperate,” the Utica Press (independent) says, “that political conditions, whether favorable . or _unfavorable, ~cannot longer- be allowed to obstruct a gen- ggal conference of both allied and rmer enemy nations and Russia.” By putting political considerations in the background, the proposed confer- ence, as the New York Globe (inde- pendent) sees it, makes “a frank ef- fort to restore the comity of nullonll which was broken down by the Ger- man attack on France and by th Russian revolution,” and for the first time since the war “Germany -will be called into consultation less as a de- feated enemy than as a sovereign wer.” Not that there will be any disposition for nations “to rush into each ' others’ arms, declare that all the past i8 forgotten and forgiven and sit down to a dinner of fatted calf,” the Canadian Vancouver Prov- ince assures us, flor that they will meet “as conquerors amd conquered, dictating and accepting terms,” but rather “as neighbors seeking to re- blish commercial intercourse, in- dustrial activity, financial stability and confidence, and. @ying to miti- gate conditions of want and discour- agement where they prevail” And this program, in, the opinion of the New York Journal of Commerce (in- dependent), the most promising approach to a means of disposing.of the ‘qu_'h.;%u economic situation of Europe has not yet been pro- ”n. Buffalo Express - (indegendent republican) recalls President Harding’s message to Congress in which he de- clared that a program of world restora-. tion “must be worked out by the na- tions most directly concerned. They must_ themselves turn to the heroic remedies for the menacing conditions under which they are struggling: then we can’help, and we mean to help.” And_the Express believes that Mr. Hapding “can hardly look upon the proposed meeting at Gepoa otherwise than as a response to his challenge and an effort to meet his thought.” This move toward self-help on the part of Europe suggests to the Pittsburgh Dis- patch (independent) that “the long clung-to dream that America could be | brought in &5 a fairy godmother has at last been abandened,” and the New York Post (independent) thinks “it ought not to take Washington long to ‘make up its mind” on the part it will play at Genoa. Not only is the oppor- tunity afforded us “of improving ton- tions which we hiave herstofore mere- 1t from a safe di * but,] A L Dt‘s%ld-. “our ‘economisal < | Which its gold reserve I and our presence at Genoa,” and a refusal to participte would be tantamount to rejecting “an invitation to improve our own economic condition. Certainly the allled debt “is no reason at all why the United States should re- frain from full participation in the Genoa conference.” the New York World (democratic) insists, for “soon-or late the American government will be obliged to discues these debts and decide upon a permanent policy, and when tae ques- tion finally arises it is quite unlikely; that the pillars of the republic will to } ter.” It is, indeed, precisely because o. our position as creditor nation that we should take an active part in discussion and determination of Eurcpe's economic and financial affairs, in the view of many writers. “We have the same in- terest in this -conference,” the Great Falls (Mont.) Tribune (democratic) as- serts, “that a large creditor would have in a meeting called to discuss ways and means by which a debtor could continue to carry on his business and eventually pay #tis debts,” and since it is to be & ‘business” and not a “political” con- ference the Birmingham News (demo- cratic) feels that “America’s failure to assist in every way to further its suc- mwlwould be unworthy and exceedingly unwise.” “The Bank of Nations.” The financial plans of F. Vanderlip and Senator Hitchcock will put the brakes on the issuing of paper money. But while Vanderlip’s plah woyld not require more than a guarantee from the nations inyolved not to tax notes issued by the banks in the association, it would, in the course of time, force out the inferior exchange of the gov- ernment. Hitchcock's plan would make the nations themselves the stockhold- ers of the “Bank of Nations” and would condition their membership, on the maintenance of equalized budgets and the stopping of the printing presses as well as the solvency of the foreign debt.
