In the background they arg holding the throat of abrogating the customs treatios.

But the Russians, whoso influence is being felt more and more, strongly in Peking, aro urging the Chineso to take tho full plunge. The Chinoso ex- tremists are attempting to push the Poking Government over the odge. The object is to have China declare all the

H

The mere declaration would' have no tangible result. It would be when the Chinese Govern- ment tried to change the present order of the things by force that the trouble would begin. If un attempt were made to take over a customs office or to invade a foreign concession, violence would be inevitable.

This would suit Soviot Russia. It would suit the Chinese radicals, who pretend to believe! that such action, would start China upon a war of independence against the trouty Powers. ..

One capital mistake is here involved: China is not united, No foreign nation would contemplate a war for conquest of China. The task would be too' stupendous. If a war grows out of the tariff conference or out of

be fought between rival fuctions of Chinese. Chinese themselves would bear the brunt of the suffering. In the end the treaty Powers would support the faction likely to prove most amenable.

The United States has been willing to go far toward satisfying Chinese aspirations. It is ready to discuss tariff autonomy...for application at some riper time. It is prepared to surrender extra- territorial privileges as soon as the Poking Government is able to guarantee American rights in Chinn. But if the Chinese attempt to take in more than they can assimilate, the only result' will be an acute attack of indigestion...
