PACIFIC CONGRESS IN SUMMER OF 1916 Dr. Eliot Says Conditions Should Be Ripe for Gonference Then. San Francisco, July 20—What was styled “the first Pacific conference” opened at the exposition grounds here yesterday, under the auspices of | the Asiatic institute. The object of conference is to determine the basis of ‘a congress of the Pacific, which should seek the mutual cooperation | of the nations of the Pacific area for common ends. A number of men who have been prominently identified’ with the prob- léms of the Pacific are to be heard, | either in person or through letterss, including Dr. Charles W. Eliot, presi- dent emeritus of Harvard; David Starr Jordan, chancellor of Leland Stanford University; Mabel T. Boardman, the chairman of the. American Red Cross; United,-States: Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts; and’ Sidney L. Gulick, missionary and author. Pacific Oongress In 1916. According to a discussion of the sit- vation by Dr. Eliot, which wag read at the conference, conditions should be ripe for a Pacific congress in the early summier of 1916, ‘“because the re- sults of the European war on inter- national telations and on trade be- tween the Occident and the Orient will, by that time, have become mani- fest,” Dr. Eliot suggested that Hono- lulu would be a good place for the congress, and that the principal countries about the Pacific ocean should be represented, for the con- ssideration of matters of mutual in- terest. The success of any such congress would depend upon the general ac- ceptance of certain principles of uni- versal application, he said, such as | the policy of the “Open Door,” and | & league of Pacific powers to secure ’ Peace and freedom of the ocean. War Between East and West, | According to Dr. Gulick, a “great war between the East und West” was threatening. Some steps must Le taken, he said, for inducing the nations to return to China what had been taken from her. “If the West forces China into aggressive militar- ism,. and if China i¢ compelled to seek safety and justice at the point ¢f the bayonet, the future of the world 1s indeed ominous,” he said. He reviewed what he called the ~Perfidious course of the United States' in. violating its treaties with China and Japan” and asked: “If we maintain that the United States was justified in its disregard of our treaty with China, what right have we to condemn Germany for its disregard of its treaty with Belgium? The degree of the consequences indeed differ enormeusly, but ‘are not the moral jis- sves identical?” Understand Real Point. Referring to the relations of this country with Japan he said that “‘in- definite continuation of Japanese patience under treatment regardec humiliating is not to be assured, 1t America desires to maintain the his- toric friendship with Japan and do her justice we must first of all un- Gerstand the real point of her con- | {ention, She is not demanding econ- omic advantages or -opportunity but human justice, respect of Japanese as men. We need a campaign of educa- tion and a new policy which seems to require several things, . and among them an immigration law that treats all races alike and that should ad- mit only so many immigrants as we can Americanize, in order to pre- serve our institutions and prevent economic disturbance. One other speaker, Frederick Mc- Cormick of the Asiatic institute, went go far as to warn the conference that “the sword hangs by a hair over the Pacific, and that the coming shift of the world’s balance of power “is certain to uncover the guantlets that lies between the two civilzations lying | between Asia and America.” This, he said, was indicated in' a canvas of | “eminent, private. and confidential opinion,” which he had made. ‘Warned Againsst Discussion. “You will be able to judge some- what of the importance of our Pacific affairs when I tell you that nearly all public men are warned against -dis- cussion of them, on what are called public grounds, “It is to-be expected that in the Pacific Basin, there will be duplicated on a far greater scale, all that has happened in the Atlantic. The tragic omen in Pacific affairs of the ineffec- tive struggle of Americans and Japan- ese in their international relations to trust each other, may be a warning of this. ~American-Asjatic relations now are the foremost theme of all students of political and military his- tory—the one great new problem of mankind.” NEW PURITY PLAN, | Moral Education Above All, Declares Clifford G. Roe, San Francisco, July 20——Addressing delegates to the ninth International | Purity Congress yesterday Clifford G. Roe of Chicago, president of tAe Am. erican Bureau of Education, appoint. ed by President Wilson as American delegate to the congress, proposed a new purety plan. “The campaign against the social evil has spread so rapidly and widely that the local and national groups en- gaged in it are mostly unaware of what diverse world-wide movement they constitute,” said Mr. Roe. “Each seems bent upon some pet solution of the problem. Somt insist that solu- tion must be medical and psychopa- thic, others say that laws and police only are efficient in the matter, while still others put their whole faith in economic education and social hy~ giene. While all these are necessary and helpful the supreme appeal must be greater than all these, it must be the appeal to morality—moral educa- tion. ON WAY TO WASHJINGTON. American Consul General in Mexico City to Report Upon Conditions. Washington, July 20.—Arnold Shanklin, American consul general in Mexico City, is on his way to ‘Washington, under orders from the state department, to report upon con- ditions.
