"L'UNION"
THE INDEPENDENCE OF DHINA.
FROM THE "NORTH CHINA DAILY NEWS,"
IT Cannot be said that China is, or has been at any time since the Japanese war, a really in- dependent state. ficially and unofficially she has had to brock interference with het internal affairs to an extent which no truly independent country would have put up with for a moment That she has herself to blame for this may be taken almost for granted. Interested apologists for her could again, as they have done in the pastį make out a very plausible case, but the fact remains that bad China been less conceited and more capable of broad views, had she possessed men with the knowledge of the day rather than with the pedantry of the past, ment who could have foreseen the impossibility of withstanding the expansion of the west, she might, as Jagan has done, have cast her lot boldly with progress and been to-day, instead of the carcase around which the eagles have been hovering for years, snatching now and again at any choice morse! within reach-instead of this she might have been a 1995 great power amongst great powers, with every chance, judging from the ability and quality of her people, of being within a very few years fender amongst leaders.

Last, and for the moment, most pressing, is the question of guards for railways already made or under construction. If China wishes for rent independence she must insist on the withdrawal of all foreign troops from her terri-
treaty. It is out of the question to suppose tory, except such as are already allowed by
that she can remain independent while her railway lines are in the hands of foreign troops, But here also she has a duty, EXCITING SCENE AN `NAGASĄKI. the duty of keeping order and of safeguard- ing foreign workmen, foreign investments, this duty, and she must not let it remain in and foreign property. She cannot shirk doubt. Categorically these questions will be put to her, Can you protect our people and our property? If you can, will you?
fally in the affirmative to these questions is Whether China can or cannot reply truth one of the most momentous of queries for her just now. If she can, well and gond. If she cannot, then may she write over the ta men of every yamen in the land,"Ichabod, the glory is departed." We hope to see China: indepen dent, we hope that the scales of prejudice, of conceit, and of ignorance, have fallen from her her own by methods honourable to herself and satisfactory to her friends.
