TF CHINA TURNS BOLSHEVIST!
MENACE THAT IS SPREADING;
Mr. Lovat Fraser writes in the Sunday Pictorialens follows ---If China could turn Boxer twenty years ago, may she not túra Bol- aberist to-day? That is the. question which thoughtful people are asking themselves.
The other day Sir George Buchanan, formerly British Ambassador at Petrograd, said with absolute truth that Lenin, the Tsar without a crown, hoped i to retain himself in power with the aid of recruits from China.
Leninjsreally doing so already. He depends upon two forces for his safety and authority. One force consists of Letts from the Baltic provinces, who serve him as Albanian mercenaries used to serve Abdul Hamid,
The other force consists of low- grade Chinese, who are estimated to number 25,000.
reasons
Though for obvious there is so far no steady stream of Chinese recruits towards Mos- cow, yet men are believed to be filtering through from China. Bolshevist agents well supplied with funds are said to be at work an Chinese terriory.
The spirit of Asia is instinct with rebellion. Just now there is a rift between the Chinese of the north and south, the outcome of ancient dissensions. Yet the Chinese have their delegates in Paria, charged with a clear mission. They asked that the territory seized by Germany at Kiadchau shall be restored to them, and they are right. Never was a claim better justified.
A cardinal defect of the Paris Conference is that it ignores the interests and aspirations of one- third of the human race.
The population of the globe is reckoned at 1,500 millions. Of this total. 300 millions or more are Chinese, A homogeneous nation; and over 200 millions are Mohammedans, temporarily divided. bat indissolubly knit together by the ties of religion.
If the Conference leaves China's just claims unsatisfied, it will sow seed which may bear. bitter fruit.
In any case, I am inclined to believed that the danger of the virus of Bolshevism infecting China is a very real one. I fear it for this simple reason-that the leaders of the Red Lecque know their væn minds, and the leaders of the Puris League do not.
Is it so incredible that the spirit of Bolshevism might run like a whirlwind through the Chinese, whoop interests have been dis- regarded by the Western world for a hundred years?.
