than 1917. To finance the futile war against the South the Government borrowed money from Japanese sources with a recklessness that scandalised all people interested in this country, especially as the proceeds were dissipated among the selfish Tuchuns and their followers. National assets were pledged with the prodigality of those who give away what is not their's. During 1918 alone over 150,000,000 yen was borrowed. As W. W. Willoughby remarks in his authoritative "Foreign Rights and Interests in China," it is practically impossible to estimate the total obligations, both government and provincial, of China to Japan, but the following table has been compiled from reliable data and is believed to be the nearest to accuracy in existence. It takes the place of the table that was used in the 1921-1922 Directory :
