In the controversy between the nationa on the subject of the Far East, I think the time has come for a proper understanding of the final Chinese view point. In requesting you to give me valuable space for this short discussion, I feel that I am adding to the array of facts which I have already laid before five Com mitees of the House of Commocs.

Pre- sident Yuan Shih Kai, who was then in complete control of North China, was, very anxious to do away with the German menace at Kiao Chac -by either forcing a peaceful surrender of the leased territory or taking railitary steps with the 20,000 troeps in Shantung and Chinli echeloned along the Pukow Railway. His pro- posals were brushed aside by Britain, speaking through her official repre- sentative in Peking, who lost no opportunity of impressing in those fateful hours the dangers which 27 New South Wales mehubers in the would attend China's entry into the war. Before leaving Peking, three and half months ago. I was careful to bave the official Diary looked up and j the actual conversations which took place investigated. While I do not wish to make any indiscreet revela- ations today, it is enough to say that it was British advice which kept -China from at once entering the war in 1914 and solving herself the German problem ia Shantung 1916. That is to say, the so-called advice which has consequently handed over the unhappy people of that. province to the tender mercies of aliens.

In Dr. E. J. Dillon's book called "The Peace Conference" there is a very curious confirmation of the policy then pursued which interested persons can investigate fully by reading from page 275 onwards. The actual words which It is useful to quote are as follows:
