China for the Chinese.

Not content with this encouragement

Chinese business men, Secretary Taft
took O. long step in advance of all
pther foreigners Of authority who have
discussed the Chinese problem. and put
himself. and. inferentially. the Ameri-
Fan government. squarely on record In
favor ofA China for the Chinese. He
said:
For, the reasons I have given It
does not seem TO me that the cry OF
China for the Chinese should brighten
any one. All that is meant by it is
that China should devote her energies
TO the development Of her immense
resources. TO the elevation OF her In
sdustrious people. and to the enlarge
1nent of her trade, and to the admin
astrative reform of the empire as a
8 great national government. Changes
OF this kind would only Increase our
trade with her. Our greatest export
trade is with the countries most ad-
z Vanced in business methods and II. the
deyelopment of their particular re-
sources"

the united States Is the only one of
\ the great powers which has not at

ritory.
They also recall always that after
the fall of PelSin and the end of the
Boxer rebellion. 1t was the United

powers OF Europe and Japan from par
