FALL OF KRUPP'S ITS WORLD SIGNIFICANCE

[BY AZURIBALD HURD]

The downfall of the great arnament firm founded by Friedrich Krupp rather cover a century ago, in fact, just before the Battle of Waterloo, is an event of world-wide significance. It was the child et Prussianism, and supplies the classic! illustration of the fruits of Government- ontrolled works for the creation of munj. tions of war. Nominally, it was a private company, but in effect it was a depart ment of the Government. It was thought ne shame that the Kaiser himself should be one of the largent shareholders, and tout many other leading public men, exercising commanding influence German policy, should be financially in- terested in the prosperity of this vast or ganisation, which supplied, at one and the ame time, weapone for the army and all types of shops for the navy, from The earliest battleships to submarines. German submarines were built at the Subsidised by the Krupp yard at Kiel. Government, whose officials were directly concerned in the size of the dividends

No one who is alive to the immense poten- tial wealth of India and Austrainata van over-look this possibility. Wealth always offers a temptation to the predators, and must therefore be defended.

It is for this reason that the opinion

THE PRESIDENT'S INNOVATION.

|

President Hau Shih-chang bay shown hitself particularly susceptible to the power of the foreign Press, since his nasumption of office, and this week three foreign correspondents attended at the Palace to hear a few remarks from him concerning the situation in China.

His

remarks were distinguished by optimism, especially as regards the Interual Peace Coulerenes, which, it is to be hoped, will not waste further time over the Shensi question, as both sides seem to revel in bringing charges of breacle of faith against each other. His approval of the action of the Chinese delegules at the Peace Conference must be very acceptable to these gentlemen.

THE WORSHIP OF CONFUCIUS.

Spring sacrifices are to be offered Con- fucius on March 6th, and the Premier has been delegated to attend the ceremony un behalf of the President. This promises to be a picturesque event.
