CHINESE NOT PATRIOTIC,


In his Chinese characteristics Ar.
thur Smyth SAYS: THE question Is Of
ten raised whether the chinese have any
patriotism, and It Is not a question that
can be answered In q word There il
undoubtedly a strong national feeling.
especially among the literary classes.
and 10 this feeling much OF the hostility
exhibited toward foreigners and their
Inventions is TO be traced. But that any
considerable body Of Chinese are actu-
ated by a desire to serve their country
because II Is their country aside from
the prospect OF emolument. Is a propo-
sition which VIII require much more
proof than has yet been offered 20 Sc
cure It's acceptance by any one who
knows the Chinese. u need not be re-
marked that a Chinese might be patrl-
otto without taking much interest In
the fortunes Of q Tartar dynasty like
the present, but there Is the best rea-
son 10 think that whatever the dynasty
might happen 20 be. the feeling OF the
mass Of the nation would be the same
as it is nova feeling OF profound in
difference The keynote 10 this state OF
affairs was sounded by Confucius him
self in a pregnant sentence found In
the AnaleCts. The master said: He
who Is not IN an office has no concern
With the plans for the administration
Of lts duties To our thought these sig
nIfcant words are pretty much the re-
sun. and 20 a very great degree the
cause. Of the constitutional unwilling
ness Of the Chinese 20 interest them
selves ln matters Tor which they are In
no way responsible"
So 20 sum up China herself ls help
less In these days Of the Universal
Peace Conference the only really peace
ful nation represented there Is COM
PEELED by the other represented nations
to break the peace. She must learn 10

meut China has turned 90 her conquer

keep out OF the far East. and she will
help China TO keep them out. Her in
stfuctors are busy In China now. and
