Circulation Statement.
A Gloomy Commentary.


Yesterday a South African Blue Book
was issued by the British Government
Among other interesting matter il con-
tains a despatch from Sir Alfred Miner
to the Colonial Secretary, under date Of
February 6. IN which the British High
Commissioner for South Africa takes a
decidedly. pessimfsuc view OF the situa-
ton in that country. He says that he
had hoped some definite point would be
reached at which 1t might be possible
Ia sum up the chapter Of history con-
tanning the war and forecast the ad-
rninistrative reconstruction which must
succeed it But" he continued, Il
am reluctantly forced to the conclu-
sion that there will be no such dividing
line"
Then Sir Alfred went on to say that
the last SIX or seven months had been
a period Of --retroEression, and that
conditions were far more serious
and deplorabIe than they were
last August Then there had been no
disturbances in Cape Colony, the Pee
pie Of the Orange River country were
rapidly becoming pacified and return
ing to their farms. while the Beers Of
southern TransvaaI were apparently
accepting British rule with satisfaction.
and appeared pleased to have peace
and q chance to live IN quiet and re-
store their fortunes In February last
all this had changed, and it may he
remarked that matters have been going
from had 10 worse every day since.
The South African burghers have
broken up into nUmbeTiess small par
ties. raiding IN every direction. This
has compelled The British to break up
their army into fragments for the puT-
pose OF following I'D the guerrilla
bands. Cape Colony has been invaded
and threatened with local rebellion.
The Grange River country Is again the
scene Of armed strife, and the whole
OF the TransvaaI Is as hostile and lit
ter as ever before
Sir Alfred Miner comments with re-
gret upon one feature OF the situation.
which has attracted attention and ex-
cited unfavorahIe criticism Throughout
Christendom- He says that the raidins

compelled to i've upon the country As

This practice. in the opinion of the mil
itary authorities. compelled them to
adopt the policy Of devastating the
country in order to prevent the Beers
from securing supplies So the Orange
ard TransvaaI territories have been
rapidly turned into deserts. rendering

According to report. Commissioner
RockhiH at Pekiu has been instructed
to exert himself to secure the adoption
OF the open door principle by the Coun-
ell OF ENJOYS, and TO have a provision
maintaining it inserted IN the peace
treaty which China vriH sign with the
Powers The Administration is anxious
that the Iikin tax should be abolished
and that the right Of free passage and
trade for foreign vessels on all Chinese
rivers snail be accorded. England and
japan, it Is said, viii support the United
states, and our State authorities think
or say they think. that inasmuch as the
other frst-class Powers subscribed to

demand now.
That is as God wills. It would be
no new thing for some one OF more Of
the Foreign Offices associated with the
acceptances of 1929 to say 20 US that
they did not mean to convey the i'm
preston to this Government that the
kind OF open door they admired in prin-
ciple only was the kind which Mr. Me
Kiuley and Mr.. Hay want CONSTRUCTED.
Aside from that possibility. it would
not surprise US were Russia 10 notify
the State Department that, while she
always has been and Is in thorough
sympathy with our views in regard to
an open door IN China. we will please
remember that ManchurIa is not and
never has been China. and so must be
excluded from the consideration Man

Of the Nanchu dynasty. and is not in

rect that any doors viii be left open.
