pean powers ara defeating their own real

try 1t would be hard indeed to set
forth intelligent reasons, aside from mu-

European forces remain in the country
Yet it does not seem at all difficult for
the powers to reach a modus Vivendi
which would enable them to withdraw
their troops and proceed in their several
spheres of influence or generally to de-
velop the resources of the country
If trade languishes; if merchants are
uncertain and fearful; if the splendid en-
ergies of the Chinese race are in a state
of paralysis. the cause is too plain for
demonstration. No country can take
even the initial steps toward social and
industrial restoration with the ruling au-
thority a state fugitive; with the lives
and fortunes of the natives absolutely at
the mercy of foreign so1diery, and
with the ordinary channels of trade
choked up by national sense of inse-
curity.
1t is not even normal conditions which
are looked to for development in China.
In order that the real ends of European
intervention shall be accomplished it is
necessary that an entirely new social
and commercial regime shall be inau-
gurated; that the interior resources shall
be thrown open to foreign commerce,
and to this end that the semi-savage
burdens of taxation which now prevail
shall be remedied. This is net to be
done on any basis of action yet devei-
OpSO eAIOIIS lie IcSn occupants. An IN

The open door is an Illusion. It Is
mere fabric of the diplomatic imagina-

none so long as conditions remain as
they are and the country remains one
part sunk in barbarism and the other
under the terrorizing influence of foreign
arms. If the United States seeks to
supplement a splendid diplomatic record
which it has made in China it will press
negotiations to a conclusion which will
enable China to enter upon the career
such as will be parallel to that now
being realized by kindred nation, and
which in the brief period Of a few years
has given that nation secure place

ENGLAND,s RIVALS.

There is a strong tendency with GER
tain people in the United States. to pro-
fess great deal of sympathy for Rus
sia and to be greatly pleased at any
success which that country achieves. To
be perfectly frank about 1t, one may
just as well confess that this tendency
Is merely an expression Of the anti-Brit-
ish sentiment which is so assiduously
cultivated by certain people. They ar
que that Russia is England's mortal and
most aggressive enemy and therefore
they are always ready to wish the Bear.

1t is. Of course. true that there is a
struggle for supremacy In Asia imrni-
nent. If not going on, between England
and Russia; and yet, while It is quite
true that England has suffered serious
any territory or appreciaible influence In
Asia. Russia's rivalry has thus far af-
fected England, but Comparatively little,
while England's commerce has suffered
serious injury at the hands Of the rapid
1y growing American and German COM
petition. Russias rivalry Is merely a
threat to deprive England of her Asian
possessions. The commercial rivalry CT
the United States and Germany is. for
England, a most disastrous reality, which

Yet. in spite Of the fact that their in
terests are intensely rival and antago-
nistic, we see England and Germany in
a relationship that practically amounts
to an alliance. Let no man say that
this is due to the kinship between the
ruling families of the two countries.

royal kinships do not count for straw.
1t is easy enough to see that this un-
|. derstan6ipg between. England and Ger
many Is due to the danger of Russian
aggression. It is also quite clear that as
long as this understanding continues
Russian aggression can amount to little
more than an empty threat In mere
numbers, Of course, Russia counts more
than twice as many millions as Ger
many, but they are largely a. seui-bar-
barous lot and nearly half Of them are
conquered and subject races that would
break out in open rebellion as soon. as
Russia became seriously involved in war
It Is. therefore, questionable whether
the fighting strength of Russia would
equal that Of Germany. In a general
war the combination headed by England
and Germany would have the support
Of Sweden. Holland Austria, Rounania.
and Turkey, as Russia could not count
on much but France, Bulgaria and DOS
sibly Italy, it is evident that Russia and
her allies would not stand much Of a
