TIE CHINESE PUZZLE.

lua signed article in n Washing
ton paper Ia-l weak. j &. Welliyer
gives some interesting facts about
the around the world" trip of
Secretary Taft which have not been
heretofore known In this country.
Regarding the Japan war talk,
Chinese entity. etc. Mr.. Welliver
says:
The determination OF the United
States Government To interpose its
power and influence against the
japanese policy of entertainment
upon the conmere and territory OF
China, was the real reason for
sending the great battle fleet to
Oriental waters.
The United States has assured
China, in language Is forceful as
the conventions of diplomacy per-
nit, that China need not fear the
aggressions Of Japan so long as
the United States retains its moral
and physical power 70 enforce its
policies in world affairs.
The bearer of this message to
the Chinese government. the
Chinese business kings and the
Chinese people, was none other
than William Howard Taft.
1t Is a remarkable fact that the
most noteworthy speech ever de-
livered by an American upon
foreign soil has never been printed
in full in the United States. while
its immense significance has nver
been remotely suggested.
Secretary Taft went to Tokyo
last autumn as the personal repre-
sentative Of the President. The
japanese saw In him the bearer of
an olive branch, and in Tokyo he
declared war between the United
States and Japan was an unthink-
able crime.
Then he went 20 China. At a
banquet in the Astor House in
Shanghai he told the Chinese that
the United States was China S friend
and would see her through her
troubles. At this banquet he adj
dressed representatives of the bus
mess, official and professional
Chinese world. The heads of the
giantic China Merchants Company.
and the famous Six Companies.
representing fOur-fifths of all the
internal commerce of China. heard
him. Further, they had a private
conference with him, from which
they came forth smiling and happy.
When Secretary Taft gave these
assurances, the American battle
fleet was already making prepare
tions for its sensational cruise to
the East, and all the world was
wondering what it meant.
Mr.. Welliver very pointedIy
describes the speech as a ''sensa-
ton" in the East. and it is more
that likely that he has hit the nail
squarely on the head.
The Republican policy is again
shown to be that of the butt
insky," when we might much bet
ter have remained out Of the Eas-
tern embroglio entirely.
Where there was no chance for
war Mr.. Taft manufactured a
chance-a;ri a coed one.
The success uf .uc Democratic
ticket this Fall will place a man at
the lead Of affairs who will not be
so anxious to butt in" on the
i Eastern situation.
