The termination of the Russo-Japanese war found China in a position of "as you were" as regards her political and territorial status, but in a totally different position economically. Instead of the possible domination of Russia she now has the potential domination of Japan. Instead of Manchuria and the Liao-tung belog occupied by the former they are now in the hands of the latter; the Chinese is too crafty to be hoodwinked by any talk about as "Open Door." fler economical status has changed, in that she is not only saddled with a huge proportion of the cost of the war, but what touches her people more practically--she now has, instead of the non-commercial Muscovite, the ultra-commercial Japanese, who can com? pete with every individual tupit of her commer cial and trading classes, from the great import to the bumblast pedlar, and beat them at the of posies- game which, through long centuries sion, they have come to regard as their own. Thus, whatever may be said about the "ries of blood" and "common racial stock," the Chinese bave no greater love for the Japanese than they have for any other for
