FAR EAST.

NEW STORM CENTRE

Rest-Admiral Hollweg, writing in the Foonsche Zeitung, fears that; Germany, has - now only an academic interest in the Far Gast, ma no *thinking German really believes in the recovery of Tsingtau. But at least it is possible to try to make trouble, and to this task he addresses himself.

His line is to incite the Chinese, who have relied only on justice and the Fourteen Points," against the cunning Japanese, who played akilfully on the needs and fears of the Allies, and, further, to incite both Chinese and Japanese against. England and America. Homegests that out of considera- tion for China, and not, of course, thinking of the impossibility of defending Tsingtan, Germany, at the beginning of the war, proposed to abandon her con- 'cession in favour of China. This philanthropic disints restedness `was thwarted either by the saxisty of the English to get: Japan into the war, or by the far-sighted initiative of Japan herself,

Now, he thinks, but too late;) England and Ameries see the dangerous folly of their policy. Japan, under the threat of leav- ing Versailles to place herself at head of su " Asia for the Asiatica" crusade, has insisted on the fulfilment of her claims, and has accomplished her purpose. China has fallen like a ripe fruit into. her hands.

Thus, be argues, the cession of Tsingtan to the Japanese means more than the extinction of an outpost of German Kultur; it is a first step in a world-contest between Asia and the Anglo- Saxons, and this greatest of all struggles can be decided only by farce. For the time being Ger many can take no part in the new war, but in conformity with the policy of the Fossische Zeitung he suggests that a united Continent of Europe would be a powerful factor.
