Senator McLean Speaks Out.
(Ansonia Sentinel)
Sensible Americans are justified in
losing their patience with this child-
ish action at \Vashington over the
exclusion oi Japanese. .\'0 position
of national policy was endangered.
If there‘s an economic reason why
we should keep a stout fence along
our Pacific coast against the en-
trancc'ol: the Japanese coolie multi-
tudes. so be it. Thinking Japanese
agreement. is no longer workable.
and must be abandoned. probably
they can see that too. But the
thing should be done decently, and.‘
that is the way our president and
secretary of state desired to haxe
it done, .
But the western rough riders of
the immigration committee oi Con-
gress were not disposed to grant
oven that much. If they were pos-
essed by any reason. they would
have to admit. that they surrender-
ed no principle by agreeing to the
delay which our state department
desired. That seemed not to in;
fluenco them in the least. They do-
creed that Japanese exclusion should
go into effect abruptly. virtually at
once. For a_momcni it seemed
possible that they might agree to a.
delay till next March. but they
swept th‘at aside as abruptly as they
did the rights and feelings of our
Japanese neighbors.
Senator McLean is not given to
hasty action or speech. He voted
conviction against the Japanese ex-
clusion clause of the present bill,
though he is not absolutely opposed
to exclusion. but fully recognizes
that. properly applied. it may be
necessary. He loses his patience
with the attitude at the monoxide
and the majority in Congress and
flatly condemns the action of both
Houses as "a gratuitous insult to a
friendly nation." His words should
be echoed by all thinking Americans
and their, conviction should go to
the President in such a way as to
assure him of their moral support
in sharp action on this matter.

France Needed Poincare in 1022.
(Kansas City Star.)
Without Joining in the general
criticismi oi the Poincare policies
that have come from so many Brit-v
lab and American sources. it is quite
possible to agree that at this part...
cular Juncture a new man may be
more successful as premier. .
Poincare is not. diplomatic. His
mind is lacking in bexibillw. It is
narrow. hard. legalistic. His persua-
aiity was the sort required to deal
with a situation such as confronted
France two years ago. 'It may be
that a more liberal man is needed to
finish the work he had put under
way.
The milder Briand, Polncare's pre~
decessor. got nowhere with Ger-
many: The Berlin government be:
neved it could handle him and it in-
was carried ‘on successiuily until
Poincare smashed into thjs Ruhr.
The new premier achieved hia object
in large measure. He convinced Ger-
many she had lost the war and she
must make terms , on reparations.
The Davies commission was the log-
ical outcome 0! the Poincare po&y.
