China will not get Japan out of Manchuria, Man-churia, nor will she get back the British Brit-ish strongholds In China. Nothing but force can remove these things, and America has informed China that she cannot expect America to go to war for her or to puf herself in a position where war is probable.

It is the hope of the American delegates that through public opinion and the atti- pressed, Japan may be led to change her tactics in the far east. The Siberian situation has not come up yet, and Mr. Hughes' declaration of the duty of the other nations to set up a "moral trusteeship" over that country coun-try remains to be translated into something some-thing definite.
