BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS, What is happening in China itself must be taker into account in any ap- praisement of the resultg of the Wash- Ington conference. The unprecedented stimulus of the spirit of nationalism and of widespread solicitude for the country’s. welfare is caused directly by the present meeting. In a broad sense, Washington is helping China to help herself. More than one corrupt official in Peking and elsewhere will trace his downfall to this arms parley. According to the latest news received here, there is now being put into effect in China the program for the rehabilita- tion of the country that was first ex- clusively announced in these dispatches more than a month ago. It centers around Gen. Wu Pei-fu, to whom are The._committee on Pacific.and far eastern questions issued ‘the follow- ing statement on its meeting yester- day: The twenty-sixth meeting ‘of the committee on Pacific and far eastern questions was held this morning, .

Government Monopoly. “Jt is known to the wor.d that in ing between the Italian state and Cardinal Gasparri, the obvious desire of the Italian popular party to in- fluence the election of the new Pope, the all but unanimously favorable judgment of Benedict's reign express- ed by the Itallan newspapers, whis- pered reports that a well known bank has placed 5,000,000 lire (normally $1,000,000) at the disposal of the popular party for election purposes— these circumstances have caused clear issues to be drawn. Five Debated Points. _Despite his intense interest in child welfare work throughout the world Benedict was primarily a political] Pope and the war forced him to face sons being killed-and more than 1,000 others injured. British troops, the message adds, quelled the insurrec- tion. Thus far no confirmation or denia! ;t the Rome report has reached Lon- on. Official quarters here were inclined to discredit the seriousness of the re- ported trouble. A dispatch from Fleld Marshal Al- lenby, Egyptian high commissioner, | filed 'vesterday afternoon, made no mention of such trouble.

It 15 understood, says the newspaper, that Austria needs immediately £2,- 600,000, the same sum she vainly tried to raise in London before Christmas on the security of the famous Gobelin tapestries. Malntaining that Austria will be unable to raise a forelgn" credit until the fllndlgg bill of Secretary of the Treasury * Mellon has passed the United States Senate, enabling the United States to forego- its llen on Austrian assets, and until other inter- ester ro ers have waived their liens, the Times remarks that Austria's in- ability to offer security against a loan {8 more apparent than real, be- cause the present impasse almost cer- { tainly will end with the passage of the Mellon bill, when Austria will be able immediately to pay the sum she needs so urgently as a carry-over loan to prevent the further collapse of the crown. The Times says it understands this argument has bean vigorously put be- fore the British government, b:cause the only remedy may lie in a govern- ment loan to Austria. With reference to the application, the ‘Westminster Gazette says the British treasury has made a proposal, which, if it is approved by the premier and the cabinet, will result in Great Britain loaning Austria £2,500,000 through the Anglo-Austrian bank. Austria’s customs will be the security. This newspaper understands that the loan will be purely British, and not allied, it being féared that France will not move quickly enough to avert the impending crash.

The debated points are chiefly these five. 1. Benedict's neutrgl war attitude culminating only in 9917 in the pro- nouncement that war was “useless slaughter” and ending in the arrange- ment or renewal of diplomatic rela- tions with almost all countries. 2. His relation with the modernist movement against which. unlike Pius X, he launched few warnings. Hope for Parliament Mafority. 3. His numerous steps toward the solution of the Roman question, in- cluding his permission to Italian Catholics to form the popular party which has four members in the pres- ent Italin cabinet and hopes some day to have a clear majority in the parliament. 4. His_willingness to renew rela-| tions with France, even through a! compromise. His critics declared at| the time of Joan of Arc's canoniza- tion that he was willing to accept the French . cultural societies and was| prevented from doing so only by the vigorous opposition of the French| clergy. 5.

My honored friend, Senator Root, has truly remarked that it is a grave question of policy, which primarily and fundamentally. should be de- termined by the government of China. Senator Root had also remarked yes- terday that the quéstions of com- pétition or controlled co-operation are not uniform in practice in aH countries. In view of this fact, and the importance :of the whole subject of wireless communications, China, while determining for herself, wishes toshave time to consider care- fully the practices of other coun- tries, before deciding for herself, which course to follow.

UNEMPLOYED IN CANADA TO GET GOVERNMENT AID Plan Financed Through Issuance of Federal Warrants—War Vet~ erans Are Favored. OTTAWA, January 26.—The Do- minion govefnment last night ap- proved swgeping measures for the re- lief of “unemployment throughout Canada. The plan, to be financed through iesuance of federal warrants, makes special provision for Canadian and British war veterans and will be in force until March 31, the end of the fiscal year. The new legislation binds the federal government to reimburse municipal authorities to the extent of one-half of their outlay for unem- ployment relief in the case of former soldiérs, provincial and municipal au- thorities to assume the other half. In the case of public work under- taken to provide employment, it is stipulated thmt the municipality must pay the normal cost plus one-sixth of the extra cost, the fedgral govern- ment paying three-sixtits of the extra cost and the provincial government two-sixtis. This grant is conditioned upon the province agreeing to bear its share of the burden and also upon approval of cost estimates for works receiving the approval of the federal department of public works.
