joint protectorate should assume control
oi customs, posts and telegraphs, work.
ing these departments with the best Chi
nese officials available. The protectorate
should also establish a uniform curren-
cy. readjust the present corrupt. uneoual
system of taxation. open the country to
the Powers who guarantee the integrity
OF China, as unreservedly as Japan Is
opened.
Abolition Urged.
1T Is proposed further that all foreign
relations shall be subject to the approv-
al of special board representing the
Powers most Largely interested In the
Empire. The Powers should also insure
the freedom and safety of residence. re-
hg1on, travel and pursuits for Chinese
and foreigners alike. and make certain
the abolition of the present hated re-
gime. The proclamation of a new China
under peoples beloved by the Emperor
would meet with general peaceful ac-
ceptance and would result in the disso
lution of the present disturbances The
outcome would be the introduction of
new IDEAS and projects and the dismiss
al OF old ones The people are ignorant
and easily excited to violence by those
whose interests compel them to main
tain their present vicious system of man
darinates, which His Majesty by himself
Is too weak to change, but Which he will
be strong enough to accomplish under
benevolent foreign auspices.
emma Is ripe for a change IN the tide
which the reactionaries are vainly geek
ing TO stem. II IL should be so, on the
other hand. that the foreign Powers Sc
riously contemplate the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
or the Chinese Empire, they will have
before them the huge task of facing
dense millions of people. who, though
they lack training and make contempti-
bic soldiers, possess boundless powers of
passive resistance and would be able To
wear out the patience of any European
rulers who would seek to govern with
out regard to the prejudices of the old
est civilization in the world.
Warning Against u Conquest.
THE conquest and division of China
would be impossible with 100000 troops,
but to retain the government of the En-
pre- II would require 1OO,OOO,O00 soldiers
and centuries of work
All would accept the Emperor Koang-
Su, who is completely identified with the
people and wholly against their present
I
er and brought about conditions which
the Powers could easily have averted.
His Majesty and his advisers beg Ameri-
ca and Japan to pause before resort ng
to ACKNOWLEDGMENT. which can be defer
red at least until the Emperor's efforts
to govern his people and restore happi-
ness to this great division of the human
race have proved abortive. If the peo-
pie are assured that the Powers guiding
and protecting His Majesty do not in
tend to swallow the country p.ecemeal
the people and soldiers will return un-
question-ngly to the allegiance from
which the Empress Tsi-Hsi has diverted
. them
