PLAYING TO THE GALLERY.

THE statement of Nationalist Policy by Dr. C. C. Wn, published in an issue of yesterday, would have been far more valuable had it dealt with the facts of the situation as it exists in China to-day, instead of with generalities. We can say at oneo that we heartily ondorse every word Dr. Wu utters in regard to China's future relationship with Foreign Powers, but an agreement on broad principles does not help towards the solution of China's

"This Government (the Nan- king Government) earnestly hopes that negotiations with a view to the conclusion of new treaties will immediately be opened. Technicalities should be discard- ed in order to achieve, in the shortest possible period, the aim of restoring harmonious rela tions between China and foreign nations."

Again

The resentment of the Chi- nese to the foreigner is not to him individually but to the system under which he lives. The Chinese object, not to the presence of the foreigner, but to They his position of privilege. consider that the foreigner should be placed on a footing of equality with the people among whom he has voluntarily chosen to live and The Chinese people

are all united in. demanding international justice and fair play. In the interest of the pence and welfare of the world, such a simple and reasonable request by a quarter of the human race ought not to be made in vain."

The British bave made it abun- dantly clear that such a simple and reasonable request", would cer- tainly not be made in vain if the Nationalists were in a position to guarantee British life and property in China, and Dr. C. C. Wu knows this quite well. To talk about negotiations and giving up con- cessions now when the whole of the Yangtaze is in a turmoil, when British ships are constantly being fired upon, when shole districts have been evacuated and murder and rapine are of almost daily occurrence, is not statesmanship. Dr. Wu is, of course, fully alive to the fact that such negotiations are an impossibility in the circum- stances, and the conclusion forced upon us, therefore, is that he is merely playing to the gallery. We must bear in mind, also, as a cor respondent reminds us this morn- ing that Dr. We was Commissioner of Foreign Affaire in the Canton Government at the time of the Shameen incident of June, 1025, and was one of the first to spread abroad the lying propaganda that the British and French forces on Shameer had, without any provoca tion, fired upon a procession of peaceful Chinese.

My dear Eugene,

I see with some surprise

The Kuomintang have struck you from their roll, Viewing your actions with suspicious eyes And evidently doubtful of your goal, Which is, maybe, a deeper red in hue Than even Nationalists can calmly view.

It's hard, old man! No lie could be so black But you would roll it out in manner glib: No note so of misinformation smack As those that issued from your facile nib. You lied for their supremely, there's no doubt, And now the dirty dogs have chucked you out!

What are you going to do Dear old Eugene, I'd hate to think that any pal of mine Was forced abruptly from fife's vivid scene In such a way as once was Frankenstein;

You might of course rely on Borodin But somehow I should rather bate to try; That gentleman's ingenious brand of sin Ie closely linked with profits,, quick and high. His business method, I've been told, is sound, "If you've no cash, you needn't come around."

But then, of course, you're pretty well-to-do, And do not bank in China. Son, you're wise. America they say looks good to you And well it may do too! (There are some guys Who'd give a tidy price to hear you had Some thoughts of going back to Trinidad.)

And yet, it may be there's a better spot Where your peculiar talents would show up; The trick to sound like sense when talking rot, The unembarrassed flow of lying gup, The ceaseless slogan, swelling loud and long, "Others are always right and England wrong."

Yes, there's your place, with Kenworthy & Co. What time their antics dignify debate," While they acclaim their country's every foc And seek to cast away the Ship of State. Aye there, though base Imperialists may frown, Shine forth, the brightest gem in Labour's crown.
