BUFFER STATE IN NORTH CHINA

(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH")

Note: This is the fourth and last of a series of articles review- ing and analysing events in the development of Japan's advance into North China, with emphonia upon present trends. This deals with the apparent formation of a "buffer atate" in North China.

Obviously Japan cannot hope to realise her commer- cial and other ambitions in North China unless the authorities governing the area are willing to "co-operate." It was largely because the "Young Marshal," Chang Hsuch-liang, refused to co-operate with the Japanese in their plans for the extension of railways and the like in Manchuria that the Japanese decided to take over that region by force. "Co-operation" has a peaceful construc- tive sound, but situations are conceivable in which co- operation with the Japanese in North China might raise cries of "Treason!" from patriotic Chinese.

Senate, 60 of the 96 members are Democrats. In the House of Repre sentatives there are 321 Democrats out of a total membership of 435. Such overwhelming majorities, how- ever, are considered a tactical din- advantage. When lines are tightly drawn and every vote is needed to keup the party ahead, it is relative- ly easy for the party whips" to maintain discipline in their ranks, When the majority becomes pronounced as in the present care, the situation is completely altered. It is in such instances that legisla tive bodies are generally faced with the tendency either to split up into varions "block" er to become verted to the "one-party ayatem."
