SELF-SUPPORTING" POLICY FOR THE POWERS OUTLINED.

INTERESTING CHINESE POINT OF VIEW

"Both partica-militarists and radicals-are out for the spoils

of office, particularly for the revenues arising from the Customs' collections. That neither party care the least for the people is best shown by the constant robberies, seizures, illegal taxes, murderings and kidnapping of the common people by the représentatives of both sides.

Each side seems firmly convinced that the Fowers, po less than the Chinese people, can be made to yield up all and any property and rights they possess provided only they are bufficiently bludgeoned. That there is some justification for this belief on their part is evidenced by the amazing manner in which certain Powers yield up their greatest treaty rights, which rights, having mainly to do with the carrying on of trade in the country, have afforded many of us in the past a greater measure of security than any which we have been able to arrange for our own protec tion: During the past eighteen months, when Russian propaganda and Soviet subsidized efforts have been at their zenith, the protec tion afforded us in foreign settlements has been ao marked that. land values within them have doubled and trebled and are still rising:"

He gives a comprehensive review of the situation in China and his views, written entirely from the point of China's ultimate well- He comes being, are of particular interest at this juncture. irresistably to the conclusion that Great Britain or the United States should take control of China's Enes of communication in order to save the country "from the territorial aggression of Powers whose nearness to her frontiera and land-hunger make them infinitely more to be dreaded than the somewhat blundering efforts of British statesmen to maintain an open market for British trade."

To Europeans the efforts and actions of the Soviet representatives in China may well appear impos sible, but it must be remembered that the Soviet have at their hand, not hundreds, but thousands, of well-disciplined Chinese-speaking agents, who fraternize with the people as no European or Japanese can. These agents," using the out of-work and unemployed section of the population, as well as the sorely- tried and terrorized farming com- munities in the sections which have been under the heel of the militar ieta, together with their paid ad herents in all the schools and col- leges of the land, have managed to establish in nearly every province of China well-organized cells, which are spurred on to a feverish activity by Russian official agents.
