for instance, the old policy of nc
entangling alliances. Tliat mean:
we will have no allies and there
fore must be prepared to stand
alone. Others are the Monroe Doc
trine, which la becoming now a sort
of composite affair but jfhich mij
uot be satisfactory to ©very one;
the open door In China and the
Asiatic exclusion. Any of these
policies may conflict with some
world power. Behind our policy
. we must have some force. Even a
diplomatic policy caruiot be car

upon the "open door" in China,
and the waT lasts much longer, it
Mt-uis certain to every diplomat at
Washington that a brsak with Ja

doubt that, if the United States,
while excluding the Japanese from
this country, insist that Japan must
step trying to colonize Manchuria,
Japau will not tolerate it. The
Japanese insist that they must ex
pand. somewhere. If the United
St'itts refuses to admit Japanese im
migrants, out will keep out of oth

Mik.aid's government will ratify an
