It will perhaps, be argued that in regard to the intimidation complained of there was at the time no strong re pudiation by the Chinese Government; that if there had been any such strong. feeling wo should have known of it. Various reasons might be offered why. this was, or might have been, so. We have already excused China for sitting on the fence. and Lava pointed to the excellent company
hink panagrient shome to have occupied the same position at various times. Then there is the undoubted fact that in China, in Japan, there was, for various reasona e strong-pro- German party for more reasons in fact „in China than in Japan... Chine, at be time, was not at all in love with Japan, and Japan was on the side of the Allies. Besides, the Hun was spend- ing money hand over fist. Fo was pouring it put like water and there is no land in which the jadicions expenditure of money produces auch immediate effects as it does here. The more fact that ruch erpenditure was necessary proves that there was no great majority of thinking men in Chins who ware pro-Prussian. It is difficult to see how any educated man could have been, except for materiał reasons. Bat the Dutch Minister seems to have worked this section with an astuteness which might have been imparted from the Wilhelmstrasse. That be overshot the mark is now evident
