THE SITUATION IN CHINA.

Before discussing what may be the
territorial limits of spheres OF influence
or areas OF control. IL is well TO bear I'm
mind several influences that will tend 10
keep China intact. First she has survived
many other shocks. some OF which were
as severe as this, notably the brief wars
with Japan. France and England, and
former rebelions. Second, the powers OF
Europe and Japan are keenly jealous of
each other. and will admit of no division
that is not satisfactory. They may even
become engaged i'm international war
and China be the least sufferer. Third
the United States. which i'm a way holds
the key TO the moral situation, is opposed
To any alienation OF territory. while Great
Britain and Japan maintain the same at
titudc. Fourth. there In a large element
OF very able men In China, despite COM
mon opinion TO the contrary. that have
sufficient statesmanlike qualities to gov
ern China wisely and successfully. These
would be supported by a considerable
part OF the population that is ready to
take active interest In public affairs, II
there be no danger OF political exile or
punishment. who can doubt the ability OF
such men. for Instance. as the eminent
Chinese minister at Washington 10 take
the lead In guiding China out OF her pres
ent difficulties? Fifth. IL will be found
that China's particular weakness In the
present troubles is the lack OF national
police. or of organized forces OF law and
order. such as a well-trained army n
she had possessed even a small trItst-
worthy. well-disciplined force under for
eign officers. the present riots could have
been put down at the moment aud place
of Inception. The rest OF the world would
hardly have noticed the disturbance. -
