THE SMUGGLING OF MUNITIONS OF WAR

INTO CHINA..

The Oraka. Asahi duals editorially with the importation of munitions of war, into. China, to, which we referred soms weeks since.

“The smuggling of munitionsofwar at Ching. wan-tao. Island gives a strange feeling, regard ing German violation of the Peking Protocol, but there is nothing new in the affair to foreigners resident in North, China. The im: portation of arms into Tientsin is not a recent

development and the fact that the smugglers are: Germans is also well-known. The especial. ly surprising part of the affair, is that the chief of the Customs at the port where this viola. tion of the Protocol is going on at Tientsin is Mr. Detring, a German citizen. There are two. German citizens in Ticatsin that appeal

If, therefore, Japan did actually object to Mr. Barrett's appointment, it gained nothing, as his "The action of the Germans in Tientsin is

If, on the other hand, this alleged objec ence and taking advantage of their high position is based on the assumption that, as Mr. tion the smuggling of munition of war is being Barrett came from the Pacific Coast, he would freely carried on.

When we consider that such favour the exclusion of Japanese labourers from action are practiced in the Customs under the America, or on any other similar superficial supervision of Sir Roben Hart it is quite natu ral to suppose that in Manchuria and Mongolia that will call attention to her attitude and de ground, Japan has taken an unfortunate step where continental trade is carried on, a similar much to arouse publicsentiment in Mr. Barrett's desires to avoid. Finally, as no American has part of the country in favour of what Japan laboured mare consistently and diligently than Mr. Barrell to make Japan welf and favourably known in the United States, and as he his always espoused those policies which would promote friendly relations between Japan and the United States, it is difficult to see what Japan have gained by opposing Mr. Barrett and accepting Mr. Griscont. What resident ELECTRIC SUPPLIES OF EVERY DES. THE Steamship Roosevelt and Secretary Hay think of Mr. Barrett and his abilities is sufficiently indicated by their nomination of him for this responsible post without his solicitation.

-- "In the matter of Russia, the importation of arms in large numbers into Manchurian dis- tricts by the Chinese is prohibited, and while such conditions may not be considered in operation it must not be assumed that they in any way add to the value of the Protocol. The adherence of the Japanese to the Protocol pro- hibiting the importation of munitions of war for a period of two years, while others are reap ing fabulous profits, must be regarded by other nations as passing strange.

"Germany, for instance, is the power which has resorted to-the most drastic measure in exacting reputation against the barbarous sets. of the Chinese and such a violation of the con. ditions of Peking Protocol as is here referred to is a clear proof that the restrictions put on the importation of arms have no effect whatever, We urge the Government to seize this opport unity to suggest to the Powers that the clauses anent the importation of munitions of war be either annulled or rig, rously enforced. There is another thing that calls for attention it is a fact that an arsenal is to be established in North China and while the question as to the site is under considera- tion, it is probable that it will be established in the province of Shantung. Does this simply imply that the establishment of such an arsenal in an open port would be disadvantageous in case of such an emergency, as China experi enced during the siege of Tientsin, or is there some particular object behind it that we do not know about? We cannot suppress fear that in the event of its establishment we shall quietly allow others to derive all the advantage from the arsenal."

THE HON. JOHN BARRETT AND JAPAN.

THE TRUTH ABOUT A MUCH-DERATED NOMINATION,

According to the comment of soine Far Eastern and European newspapers recently to hand. (says the Times of Ceylon) it would seem that, through ignorance of the real facts, an injustice had been do è by them to Mr. John Barrett, Comu:issioner-General to sia for the St. Iouis World's Fair, in connection with his proposed appointment by President Roosevelt

to the post of United-States Minister to Japan. We have seen the statement repeated that Mr. Barreti declined the position because he was de- licately informed that the Japanese Government objected to him. This we know to be untrue. When Mr. Barrett was in Colombo, in the latter part of November, he remarked to us that he haped President Roosevelt would not offer him a foreign mission before he had completed his present duties, because he would be obliged to decline on account of his obligations to the World's Fair and in jestice to the successful consummation of negotiations with Asiatic countries for their panicipation at St. Louis, which he was most anxious should permanently promote the growth of closer commercial and political relations between Asia and America. It would have been unnecessary to state this, because our readers are acquainted with what the Commissioner said when, in Calcutta in December, he received and decided not to ac cept the offer ofthe pos; in questa; but having seen in papers to hand at this central city between East and West that editorial writer are perpetuating an early gratuitous rumour, we feel called upon to re-state the facts in the hope that they will be seen by those who most need to become acquai ted with them.

It has, too, been intimated that Mr. Barrelt was oppoted by Japan because that country wanted an older and more experienced man. This argument could hardly have been success. fully advanced, or have had weigh: with Pre- sident Roosevelt, in view of the fact that Mr. Lloyd Griscom, whowasimmediatelyafterwards Appointed Minister to Japan, is a younger man than Mr. Barrett, has only served about a year as Minister to Persia where American interests are unimportant, and, before that, a brief period as Secretary of a second-rank Legation in Europe, and received his original apppointment SK for ASAHI JAPANESE BEER-
