Relations With China.

Owing to the rapid growth of our
power and our interests on the Paci-
fic, whatever happens in China must
be of the keenest national concern to
us.
During the troubles of 1900 cur
Government unswervingly advocated
moderation, and has materially aided
in bringing about an adjustment which
tends to enhance the welfare of China
and to lead to a more beneficial inter
course between the empire and the
modern world: while in the critical
period of revolt and massacre we did
cur full share in safeguarding life
and property. restoring order. and vim
dicating the national interest and
honor. 1t behooves us to continue in
these paths. doing what lies in our
power to foster feelings Of good will.
and leaving no effort untried to work
out the great policy of full and fair
intercourse between China and the ma
tons, on footing of equal rights and
advantages to all
