China.

We may all be sure that John Hay will
handle the new phase of the relations of
China to the eastern war with wisdom and
Justice The powers have faith in him,
China as much as the others. His advice
hitherto has been good and he probably
has as thorough a grasp of the situation
now as when hostilities between Russia and
Japan opened. He can but advise. The
United States is not the guardian of China.
1t wishes China we'll, and would offer no
suggestions as to China's course in any
matter which it did not intend for China s
benefit
Nothing could be clearer than that China
would be the chief sufferer should the
present hostilities in the east spread to out
side powers. Her territory would be over
run, and large portions of 1t devastated.
She figures in affairs as an Independent ma
ton, but as a matter of fact she holds a
peculiar relation to the world. Hungry
eyes have long been fixed on her possess
sions, and she has suffered at the hands Of
more than one of the great nations. What
other great nation, indeed, but the United
States has not laid a heavy hand on her
and in a measure despoiled her? What
does the record show as respects Great
Britain, Germany, France, and Russia and
japan themselves. mat tnere Is d udtiou
called China today is due not to any ability
which China herself has possessed to pre-
serve her own, but to the check which
foreign greed has felt from the difficulties
of the situation.
Russia would have us believe that China
is enlisted in the war on Japan's side. That
statement should be examined with the
greatest care Where China's sympathies in
the struggle may be is another question.
Where are our own sympathies and for
what reason? And if we have good cause to
complain of Russia, how much more cause
has China? Russias promise to evacuate
Manchuria was of more Importance to
China than to us or any other nation. And
yet she not only broke that promise, but
has been making Chinese territory the base
of her operations to forward her whole
eastern pretensions, affecting both China
and Japan. But for Russia's bad faith as
respects Manchuria there would have been
no war.
To repeat, it is to China's interests to
strictly observe neutrality. She would prob
ably be the principal victim in case of a
worldwide conflict. And it is because Of
this fact-which should be as patent at
Picking as here or elsewhere-that Russia's
charges of activity on China's part in
Japans behalf should be scrutinized under
the strongest glass.
