Russia and China

Russia's reported threat to sever dipIo-
matte relations unless China signs the
Aanchurian agreement. as reported today
Is peculiar development in the case
China Is not now exercising the ordinary
functions of a nation capable of transact
ing business with the rest OF the powers
Individually. Her government is practf-
cally in course of reorganization made
necessary by events which disclosed her
inability to preserve a modern relationship
with the outer world. This process is
being supervised by a concert of the. DOW
ers. Russia included. having for its object
the creation Of an administrative govern
Msnt at Pekin which can be held account
able for events occurring within the Chi
nese borders. Pending the consummation
OF this purpose. and evidently with the OBJ
Ject of securing an advantage over the
other powers. Russia seeks to force from
China separate agreement which is con-
strued as In effect alternating to the St
Petersburg government an enormous prov
ince of the greatest Importance from both
a commercial and political point of view.
China has allowed the time within which
her signature was to be given to the
agreement to lapse without action. There
Is some doubt whether the instrument dies
offered for the failure to sign In the state
ment that the Chinese minister at St.
petersburg fell and hurt his head on the
last day of the period. The truth appar-
emily Is that China has felt the pressure
or the other powers, and has respected
their warning to abstain from granting
away any territory or privileges until her
own government Is established on the new
lines Should Russia now carry out the re-
ported threat to sever diplomatic relations
she will practically withdraw from the con-
cert Of powers at Pekin and lose further
right TO a voice In the adjustment of the
Chinese affairs. Her continued presence In
Manchuria will then assume the aspect OF
an armed trespass. 1t Is evident that no
pacific object Is held In view by the gov
eminent at st. Petersburg in thus seeking
10 apply the screws to China in the hour
OF her extremity.
