Stands Today (Editorial) GPOKESMEN for the powers gathered today around a table in Washington to discuss, first and foremost, the possibilities of a great war in the Pacific, which they all foresee. They want to prevent the great war. Most prominent at the Washington conference want (the country bids them) to do as much as any! to prevent the great war. But they cannot sell out their country to do it. In fact, backing down by the United States on any fundamental of foreign policy would probably be the surest way to bring about such a war in the end. i . . HAT, under the circumstances, is the American position? In the first place, besides the United States only three other countries are vitally interested in the Pa- cific problem. They are England (thru dominions of Canada, Australia and New Zealand), China and Japan. None of these countries has any thing that the United States wants for herself. All the United State# desires are: First, assurances, properly guaranteed, that the Pa- cific ocean is to remain @ free ocean and the Pacific ports, Eastern and Western, free ports for ships of all the world to sail and trade in; and, Second, that no nation, including confessedly bellig- erent and militaristically organized Japan, shall, thru exploitation of China and Siberia, build up an empire which might become a real menace to America—which might force America some day into the war she does not want. ie UR country wants assurances, and she wants them properly guaranteed. She doesn’t want fair words and fine phrases. She doesn’t wants scraps of paper. From the American point of view, as long as there is a mikado on the Japanese throne, to be succeeded by a prince wholly irresponsible to his people and of whose ambitions Americans can know nothing, just so long we cannot bank on Japanese promises. Any declared policy of the powers in the Pa- cific ean only be guaranteed to American satis- faction by the creation and organization *of power to enforce that policy. There are three possibilities along this line: First, a drastic revision of naval building plans by the Japanese ; Second, a greatly enlarged American naval building program ; : Third, the renunciation by England of her Japanese alliance in favor of a new policy to be announced by her that would be on all fours with our own. * *._ * * HE United States can afford better than any of the other countries to take the most expensive of these roads—unlimited naval building. But this country will take that road only if it has to. It is not out for special advantages. Its position is not selfish, President Harding and Secretary Hughes today launched the discussions in a manner that will bring pride to every American. They spoke clearly, boldly. They spoke candidly and definitely. They told, the world just where America stands. The American position is that our cards are face up on the table; that we have invited the other powers to name their game; and that we only insist that, what- ever it is, they come in with their cards face up on the table, too. fists | America’s Spokesman in World Tribunal WHAT U.S. PROPOS. 2.FE ¥ 1 Halt building of « '£ capital ships for ten years. ; '©) Scrap older vessels 5 \4 world navies. 2 Limit building of a . ‘7 iliary naval craft. 4 Cease all prepar ‘tions for offensi naval warfare.
