A JOB FOR STATESMEN.

o “China must be assured of an independent place among the comity of the world’s nations. It should feel itself as self-determined as Japan is. It should be allowed to become master in its own household. It is therefore necessary that the International Conference, which was decreed at Washington to deal with tariff matters, should be summoned on the widest possible agenda. This conference should be attended not merely by industrial and diplomatic experts, but by types of men of that wider outlook whom I should call—if the word had not been so cheapened and abused —statesmen.”—Mr Ramsay MacDonald in the Daily Herald.
