~ OPEN DIPLOVIAGY COMING, S Roor B Not to Mean Exchusion of| Common.Sense, He Tells Californians. By ths Aswciated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, March 30.—Open diplomacy “is one of the good' things that necessarily must come with the control of foreign affairs by thle people themsclves, but open diplomacy does flot mean the exclusion of comrron sense,” | Elihu Root declared in an address here. While the intrigue of the old school diplomacy that inevitably led to war was gone, he declared, there is a new danger of stirring up trouble by loose, uninfomed talk. The duty of democra- cies was not to slander each other, he said. “When two men misunderstand each other thelr troubles usually can -be zettled by getting them together to talk things over,” he said. “That is just what happened in the four-power treaty.” ‘Weuld Have Averted War. Such conferences, he added. had averted war at least twice in the past and would have done so in 1914 if Sir Edward Grey’s plans had succeeded. “If there is a controversy the most important thing is to get some one to change his mind.” he continued. “If he is wrong, make it easy for him to admit it; if you are wrong. kecp in a position where vou can admit it. The -man who comes out publicly does mot dars to change hts mind. It is more im- portant that before you get a man in ‘public you get him right. That is what happencd in the four-power treaty. Half truths sometimes involved in open diplomacy should not be pressed 100 far. quarrels have come from in than from injuries. If democ- vy is to conduct. foreign without taking the nation into strife it must not give cause for resentment in the minds of other peoples.” Mr. Root said a ‘vindictive mi- nority” could carry things to a point to which the great majority would not agree, “with no punishment until the great, good-natured majority de- cides to act against the public orator who stirs up friendly nations.” Venture on Great Undertaking. “We are venturing now on a great undertaking of directing foreign rela- tions,” he added. “and the people of the United States should make it the first great lesson of their duties to punish with disapproval the man who Wilifully stirs up the animosity of foreign countries.” Mr. Root spid this could be done by refusing votes at the polls to the men against the peace of the world and by -mrmng their patronage and adver- ing in newspapers guilty of the lame He continued: “It should be understgod that the American people will taboo loose and unfriendly talk about the people of other nations. and such punishment will be the first great step in our con- duct of foreign affairs. It is our duty so to direct the for- eign relations of our country that the power of public opinion shall be for peace.” It must be fine t’ git pickled and boisterous in your own home an’ know you won't git put out.

(Copyright National Newspaper Service.) e ANNUAL FREE SEED FIGHT "OPENED IN CONGRESS Senate Approrriations Subesimit- tee Strikes Out $350,000 Item. The annual fight over “free seeds” between the Senate and House got under way yvesterday, when the Sen- ate appropriations subcommittee, han- dling. the agriculfural appropriation bill, voted, 4 to 3, to strike from the bill the House item of $360.000 for free distribution of seeds by members of Congress. Fogr republicans of the subcommit- tee, Senators McNary of Oregon, Cap- per of Kansas, Lenroot of Wisconsin and Jones of Washington, voted to eliminate the appropriation, while the democrats, Senator Harris of Georgia, Harrison of Mississippi and Overman of North Carolina, voted to continue distribution. The republican members of the com- mittee expressed confilence that the Senate would sustain their action, and it was expected that a fight in con- ference would result. Secretary Wal- lace of the Department of Agriculture was said to have recommended aban- donment of seed distribution, and the subcommittee had evidence that the congressional seed packages were be- ing used improperly as premiums by private individuals.

Pershing, chlef of staff, and Maj. Gen. Harhord, deputy chief of staff}last night at the National Press Club. “Further reductions would be dis- astrous,” Gen. Pershing declared, add- ing that such reductions would “in- troduce an unwarranted, element of danger in our plan of natfonal de- fense.” 150,000 Vital Need. Gen. Harbord asserted that the country “traveled in a vicious circle” of unpreparedness and post-war econ omy. -Both officers asserted that 150,000 men and 12,000 officers were absolutely essential to the natlon's needs at this time. “A careful consideration of the work in hand, If the initial well lajd scheme is not to be seriously, curtailed and many activities -abandoned, Gen.

Pershing added, “is the minimum vwith whicn their missions can be performed. Any material decrease in their size wiil make them ineffective and possibly invite attack. The importance of these possessions in the plan of na- tional defense; the expense of main- taining them; the fact that they must be defended by the regular Army, and the difficulty of supplying adequate reinforcements in an emer- gency, all demand that the defend- ing force be ru!onlbly effective, and that the personnel be detinitely allo- cated from whatever strength Con- gress authorizes for the regular Army” Urges Island Protection. The loss of the Panama canal, the speaker declared, would be a blow to the pride of the American people and from a military point of view would be a greater blow than the loss of any other possession. The general emphasized the impor- tance of adequately protecting the Hawalian and the Philippine Islands, adding that “it must be remembered that the controlling factor in deter- mining the strength of our overseas garrisons is not the imminence of war, but the military value of these outposts in.the general scheme of de- fense of the continental United States in the event of war. “Any further reduction,” he con- jcluded, “will introduce an unwar- ranted element of danger in our plan of national defense.” The deputy chief of Staff called at- tention te Was Department esti- mates of $3,500,000, which, he said, was needed to train about 28,000 re- serve’ officers for fifteen days a year and 20,000 enlisted reserves for same period of time. FEDERATED WOMEN’S CLUBS MOVE SATURDAY Will Get in New Headquarters at 1734 N Street Northwest—Plan - of Financing. The General Federation of Women's Clubs will move from their present headquarters in the Maryland build- ing to a new club house at 1734 N street northwest, Saturday, it was an- nounced today. The house which will hereafter be the permanent headquarters is de- ciared to be admirably adapted to the present demands of the general federation. It possesses excellent office space, assembly rooms of com- fortable accommodation and appro- priate capacity, a green-tiled oon- servatory, a studio, lounge, tearooms, ‘more than a dozen bedrooms, baths, lavatories, @ large garden and two garages. The purchase price of the building is $70,000, on which the general fed- eration has made an initial payment of $20,000 “through the generosity of ia small number of clubwomen.” | three-year mortgage for the blhnee $50,000, has been given by the organ- ization. It is not proposed to levy assess- ments or lay quotas on clubs or states to pay off this mortgage, the federa- tion stated, but' to ask for voluntary gifts. If at least 1,000 clubs or in- dividuals give $100 each in three an- nual installments, the debt could be disposed of in that time and the re- maining $30,000 would be turned into a maintenance nd. Donations toward the necessary fund by clubs and individuals are now coming' in, it was stated. The District of Columbia federation has loaned $2,000 and pledged a gift of $1,000; the Iowa federation has pledged $5, 000; Texas, $5.000; Kentucky, $1,00 the Woman's Club of Orange, N. J., $1,000, and a small club in Chippewa Falls, Wash., was among contributors, with a donation of $10. The headquarters committee, which has charge of all arrangements in connection with the new clubhouse, follows: Chairman, Mrs. Thomas G- Winler. rresident of the federation; Mrs. W. 8.
